I was having this problem; I swapped out the job fixes hack to the InTeen compatible one.  Now, the adult got the job just fine, but the dog got fired, and now can't get a new job because his grades are too low!

Sometimes, if the kid's asleep, I won't get the option to change the diaper.

Somewhere along the way, I've noticed that the clothing in my game has become more fuzzy.  For example, a Sim who was wearing a green flowered dress now just has a green dress (with hints of maybe possibly there were flowers at one time).  I've noticed this on both Maxis and custom clothing; the video settings are maxed, and my video card hasn't changed since the last time I played.

Any thoughts?  I _do_ plan to update my video card in the near future, but "near" is more like "several months" than "this weekend."

It doesn't run off the EP disks either; we've checked the disks for scratches, cracks and whatnot; and my husband's been building computers since the 90's, so he's tested and retested all the cables, connections, etc, even slaving one of the drives to the hard drive to test it (whatever that means).  Unfortunately, since his computer died (spurring the rebuild of mine, using the best parts from each), we don't have another computer to test the disks on.

He's also in the middle of refreshing Windows (XP Pro).

We checked; all we'd installed first was the base game, and it was disk one, and I tried both drives, just in case.

Okay, to start off, my husband rebuilt my computer, and it switched the letter of the cd drives.  It was only a week until Seasons came out, so we didn't worry about it.  Backed up the files, and waited.

We figured we'd try installing Seasons, see if that worked out the drive issue.  It didn't, so, we did a full uninstall (even checking the registry), updated drivers, and then started reinstalling.  After getting the base game installed, my husband decided to test it, see if it would load.  Nothing.

What we're getting is the disk error.  We have the correct disk in the correct drive, and when we try to start the game, it tells us to put the disk in the drive and try again.  :-P

I remember having this issue before, but I think all I had to do was update a driver (one that seemed completely unrelated to the cd drive), and we've already updated them.  Any suggestions before I break down and e-mail EA for help?

Thank you so much.  It annoyed me that as soon as I fulfilled this sim's want to get a kitten, AS SOON AS SHE HAD THE KITTEN, she wanted to sell him!  This will cause much sanity.

Okay, question here: New to all this, and I wanted to convert an old pale/redhead skintone I had to the 34A34 mesh.  I followed the steps in the tutorial, extracted the original skintone, cancelled the project, then extracted one of the 34A34 skins (a Louis Pale, I think), replaced the textures files....and found out the original skintone didn't have facial textures for Teen-YA-Adult, male or female!  In the original skintone, I didn't have grey/invisible faces, so the data must have been around somewhere...  Did Bodyshop just not extract them, and I should try again?  Or did earlier versions of skintones not need that texture?  Any help would be greatly appreciated, as that's one of my favorite tones to use.
