Oh, since there are no benes on this site, I can't give you one.  Do you post on ea.com?  If you do, I will give you a bene there.

No, I havent tried since the game made the new folder!  I sorta got irritated after it continued to show the Seasons paintings and metaphorically stormed off in a huff.  I haven't touched the game since.  I have only downloaded the feedbaby hack from insiminater and some maxoidsam stuff from the exchange.  Ohhh, and a treehouse from the exchange.  I wonder if it had something in it?  I have not tried delphy's hack organiser.  I will definitely try your suggestion.  Thanks for responding to my post Char!  If this works, I will start playing my game again!

Hi, I've searched both the sims2 website and this one.  I also posted at the sims2 site, but the one person who tried to help me was unable to because there is no apparent reason for this problem!

I have all of the EPs and SPs installed, except for the second Holiday one.

I have the feedbaby hack.  Everything else is maxis made.

My sim has creativity level 8.  On the easel, I click custom paint.  The little box comes up and all of the ea provided paintings are in it, but the 4 I tried to add are not.

I tried resizing my photos to as few as 57 kbs.  I renamed them, getting rid of spaces or replacing spaces with underscores.  I got rid of the capitals.  I checked the pictures and they are .jpg.  I decided that maybe the photos I tried to use were corrupted so I used photos taken by a different camera.  Those didn't show up either, nor did the photos that came with my computer.  I actually tried a little test, removing the Season's painting folder altogether, and the pictures from Seasons still showed up! while my photos have never shown up.  Can someone please help me.

Thanks,
Latrese

This is the first (and so far only) hack I've ever downloaded.  My computer says it can't find the program to open it with.  What did I do wrong?

Never mind.  I took a quick lesson in downloads from Dr. Know-It-All and learned what I did wrong.  It works now, and it's great!!!
