Simmers' Paradise / General Sims 2 Help / Random Crashing!

I've not had the same problems, but like yourself have all the EPs and SPs. The only hacks we have in common are Inteen and Insim, however I think I've seen references (don't remember where) to Inteen having some problems with some flavour packs, which ones I don't know. Also there are some hacks and/or mods that alter data in the config folder, which may or may not be the case in what you are experiencing. I agree with Joy, pull the CC and see what happens.

Simmers' Paradise / General Sims 2 Help / FreeTime Sewing and Pottery?

Monique's SunLight computer also lets you study and achieve all badges and levels. The boolprop cheat "testingcheatsenabled true" will let you shift+left click and the spawn selection appears, page through until you see "badge juicer", select that and what looks like a toy boat will appear near the sim. This can be used to select whatever badge in the game you want. Just remember to set the testingcheatsenabled back to false.

Simmers' Paradise / General Sims 2 Discussion / SecuROM?

It is a copyright protection system encoded into CDs that logs into the Windows registry and prevents unlicensed copies of a disk to be made. The problem is that with software, such as a game, it has a limit number for installations. That limit is not reset if you unistall and re-install, so you could find yourself unable to re-install at some point. However, this seems to be a problem with the newer version of Securom, not the older. So avoid the FT patch, if you can. It comes in the patch, the game CD has the older version.

Me too, I had one with a two-story detached garage with stairs up to an empty room with a smaller room off of it. I put in some arcade games, a pool table and made the smaller room a bathroom. Worked out pretty well.

Simmers' Paradise / General Sims 2 Help / downloading help!!

I usually download from MTS2 but don't have Q-Xpress, I just save the zip or rar file. Then I use WinZip to extract to the downloads folder (or other if appropriate). MTS2 also has a clean installer that will handle rar files you save and it will check for problems with hacks as well as install to the proper folders. I am assuming you have the "enable custom content" box checked at start-up, as well.

Simmers' Paradise / General Sims 2 Help / IMPORTANT - Free Time EP major bug fix mod out!

I don't really know. I've not downloaded the patch because I hear nothing but bad things about it. Maybe try to copy your entire EA folder and sub-folders and uninstall the game, then re-istall it and restore the copied folders in place of the ones the game creates first time it runs, and don't download the patch. This may or may not work depending on where the patch makes it's changes. I have the game on both XP and VISTA, and will take your messages as additional warnings to avoid the patch. Good luck!

Simmers' Paradise / Mac-Users Only Peer Support / looking up & thought balloons

There used to be a mod added for Night Life - showHeadlines on/off - that is supposed to make the thought bubbles invisible. I've not tried that myself so can't say for sure. On MTS2 there is a mod "Fourth Wall" that is supposed to stop sims from looking at you. Again, I've not personally tried it so I don't know for sure whether or not it works. Good luck!

Sometimes when you enable the custom content for the first time, you need to enter a neighboorhood and bring up something, like houses (F2) and then exit the game and restart again enabling the custom content, then the downloads appear.
