No matter how many windows I put on a house - any house in the game - no sunlight enters and the house remains "dark".  It's driving me nuts.   Does anyone else have this problem and, if so, how can I fix it?

First off, I apologize if this question has already been asked and answered. I did a quick search and did not find any results...but it's still highly likely I missed it, in which case I am very sorry.

So.  Here's the thing.

I have made a few sims (ingame, not in bodyshop), that I would love to share with the world.  Except I don't know how.  The only helpful tips on how to just that seem to require SimsPE, which you know is great...if I wasn't on a mac, that is.  I guess my question is, is there any mac alternative way to get my sims out of the game?  Or will they have to keep chugging that elixir of life and just hope for an eventual solution?

Thank you very much for indulging me.
