I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it, but I can only get the rounded pool to show up, by putting floor tiles around my completed pool. My pools work fine, but now I'm wondering if I do have a problem after all.

tried, nothing works.

I have this unrelenting fascination with houses, bordering on obsession, so consequently I download far too many. The fun thing is to just tour the property, but every now and again I do happen upon a particular house plan that captures my fancy.
And therein lies my dilema. I do not always like the choice of decoration, and rarely like my pre-made houses to be furnished.(Simply a personal preference, not meant to disparage anyone's tastes and excellent efforts)
So I make my changes, and in the interests of the KISS effect (keep it simple stupid)(if you knew me, this practise is self-explanatory) so as to not overload my game too much, I usually replace the walls and floors with Maxis *ugh* content, delete the unwanted items, repackage the house (for my own private use). I then exit my game, and using Clean Installer delete all the unwanted files that show up.
Thus far, that practise has proven quite effective, until..........today.
No matter which angle I approach a bay window from, I simply cannot delete the items placed on the windowsill. Consequently I cannot also simply delete the bay window (cannot delete objects with something on them).
I don't want to have to resort to my other practise of mapping the entire house out, and rebuild from scratch, but I just can't get rid of these items.
So............any suggestions???

I honestly don't know but..........maybe more lights, some posters, some music? Possibly some blinds for the windows??? I'm sorry, it's the only thing I can think of.

BBB......he he eh*PS: the tutorial at MTS2 by Loverat is not only grossly out of date - but also has numerous inaccuracies and mind-boggling spelling errors *
Just curious, what would Brother Raven think? rothlmao
And I thought it was just me that the far too numerous spelling errors made me so *argh*, that I wanted to mail that person a dictionary.

Hi Jmh, I have custom doors in all my houses and they work just fine.

According to Prima Guide, From child to elder, all can pet the penguin. If u shoo the penguin it damages daily and lifetime relationship. If you leave fish laying about, both cats and penguin will consume it. He will try to jump to get a fish mounted on your wall, and he comes by to chat with both the snowman and scarecrow. It also says he will sometimes leave a puddle. What it doesn't say anywhere is what happens if your relationship with the penguin gets and stays high, what benefit it is to your Sim. (if any)

OMg--bat poop, I just spit water all over my desktop. rotflmao

I have said before I am computer technically challenged, now I am shamefully admitting to outright stupidity. I moved the folders out before I installed Seasons, and I forgot to put them all back in. So I was going back and forth between the 2 folders and got them mixed up. As my father would say "Dunekumpf"

I'm really not sure about this, but............MTS2 has a lot of tutorials on just about everything. Most people refer to them for that kind of thing. TSR also has tutorials, but I haven't looked at them lately so I think the best place to start is at MTS2.

I'm keeping mine in the game with the hopes that someone more intelligent than me can figure it out. LOL

This is absolutely georgeous. Thank yo very much. I'm sure Mary is smiling.

I don't know then what it could be, but I am having issues like that too. Only with mine entire folders disappear and re-appear at will. One day I have a "SavedSims" folder and the next day I do not. Then my "facetemplates" folder up and vanished, only to re-appear  2 days later. Sometimes I feel like my computer is playing with my sanity, which is dangerous because I don't have much sanity left.

When you first open your game, is the "enable custom content" on or off? I don't know if defragging would turn CC off, but that's what I would check to see.

Warlock, you are the "Master". Thank you so much, she is perfection.

Oh Micco, that's ok, I appreciate your thoughfulness in trying to help. Maybe all I really needed to do after all was to restart the game cause everything I thought I lost is back, and everything is working now. So......who knows?
I'm just glad it's all working now.
