If you have Seasons through Free Time, Download Multi_IdealPlantsim_Seasons-FT.rar

Only download one of them.

Fixes the command Debug - Get abducted for both telescopes after EA broke it with Free time.
Requires Free Time or greater. If you have any thing less then Free Time time you don't need this mod, Instead I would use Squinge's mod here http://www.insimenator.org/index.php/topic,10697.0.html

The static charge prank no longer requires sims to be on a rug to use interaction. The interaction is only available to children.

Requires Nightlife, But is capable with any expansion after nightlife.

Last week I upgraded my video card from a geforce fx 5500 to a geforce 7600 gs and since then these squares appear. I have updated to the latest for directx, and video driver and still doesnt help. If you need my system spec I can give them too.

Edit: I have all the Eps and none of the SPs

I just discovered this today, but it seems like a good 3d image creator(maybe mesh just started playing with it) and animation creator.
its free becuase its under the gnu.
