31  Simmers' Paradise / General Sims 2 Help / My Sims won't witness alien abductions on: January 01, 2010, 12:28:21 pm
I have noticed this issue months ago, but I thought it was only because the family of the abducted sim was busy or something. So one day I had one sim hang out while the other stargazed, but when they got abducted, the sim that was hanging out did not react to the abduction at all, nor had a memory of witnessing the abduction. I have all of the EP's and all of the patches, so what could be causing this issue? What can i do to fix it? Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks so muc for the info ancienthighway. I tried it and it worked fine. As far as being expensive for the students, it wasnt that bad actually. I just let them spend freshman year in the dorms, and moved them to the apartment after they got their semester bonuses. Plus they had a room mate so the rent wasn't so bad either. I would say the only con is you don't get the student has class in one hour notice when you use an apartment lot so you just have to be aware of the time. Other than that it was pretty easy. Thanks again.

I do apologize if this question has been asked before, I looked around and didn't find it here....so my question is, is there any way to build or place pre-made apartments on college campuses? It would only make sense to put them there. I was looking around on my game and it didn't offer the option for apartments in the specialty lots section. It would be cool if i could put the apartments there. Thanks.

Chapter 9: New Beginnings

Cassie never thought that Jareth was serious about his divorce threats. Although their relationship was nothing to write home about, she believed there was a light at the end of the tunnel. Even if it was just a small one. As she woke up to enjoy her rare day off, she became optimistic and decided to get them into marriage counseling. What good would that do if you are still seeing Jeff, her thoughts nagged at her. Cassie mentally waved them away as she went downstairs, hoping to see Jareth since he had the day off as well.


As she entered the study, hoping to find him tapping away at his laptop, she noticed he wasn't there. And neither was his laptop. Instead, scattered across the top of the desk in a careless matter, were some official looking papers. Cassie scooted closer to the desk, studying the papers, her brow furrowed. This isn't what I think it is... She sat down to take a closer look.



Tamlyn City Circuit court
Request for dissolution of marriage
Weston v. Weston

Her eyes widened in fear. Cassie couldn't believe what she was reading. The word divorce screamed at her from the flat pages. Her shoulders slumped in defeat and she sat there for awhile, contemplating on what to do next. The memories that she and jareth shared sped through her mind, from the time they met when they were kids, to the time he proposed to her in the forest during spring break when they were in college. Silent tears ran down her cheeks as she read the papers over and over again. "This is all my fault," she admitted to herself. "If I only paid attention more, if only I was more kind to my husband, if...if i didn't have an affair with Jeff...maybe it wouldn't be this way..."
The urge to talk to someone overcame her. Cassie needed someone to vent with before she lost her mind. She dragged herself over to the phone.



The phone rang for what seemed like an eternity. Pick up, dammit, She thought with frustration. Then, a click and a shuffling of the phone was heard on the other line, and a sleepy voice said, "Hello?"
"Hey it's Cassie. Umm..can you come over. I need to talk."
More rustling was heard. "Uh, yea sure. What time is it?"
"Almost noon," Cassie responded crossly.
"Oh...ok. I will be there soon then."
Cassie hung up the phone, letting out a sigh. She wondered if things were going to turn around, if this whole day was a joke. "If this is some kind of prank, I'm not laughing!" She shouted into the empty house, her voice echoing and bouncing off of the hollow walls. She wrung her hands and headed towards the living room, hoping it really was a joke. But deep down inside, she knew it wasn't.
*********************************************

On the other side of town

Jareth and Rhiannon dragged the last of their luggage into the small, charming house. They looked around, standing in the middle of the living room. He smiled and patted Rhiannon on the back.
"Well, this is it. What do you think? I know it's not as big as the old house, but it's enough for the both of us."
She looked around once more and smiled. "This is perfect, Jay. Just perfect." in her mind she was just glad that Cassie wasn't there.
After Jareth decided to draw up divorce papers, his co-worker let him rent out a house that he owned. Jareth was grateful, because he was dreading having to move into an apartment, especially after what Rhiannon went through when she was a child.


"Hey, I just want to thank you taking care of me," Rhiannon said, smiling.
Jareth smiled back. "You deserve to be taken care of. Oh, are you going to meet with your mother today?"
She shuffled her feet nervously. Rhiannon was trying not to think about meeting her mother for the first time in years. Half of her wanted to go see Yolanda, but the other half wanted to run for the hills.
"Umm...yea I guess I will. But I'm kinda scared, ya know? What if she hates me or something?"
"Rhiannon, I don't think she hates you, otherwise she would not have tried to find you." Jareth handed her a mobile phone. "Take this with you, and call me if something goes wrong, alright?"
She just nodded as she pocketed the phone.


Her fingers nervously dialed the numbers she scrawled down a few days ago. She was just sure her mother wouldn't answer. Rhiannon played with her nails as the other line rang.
"Hey Rhiannon how are you?" Yolanda's excited voice streamed through the phone.
"Hey! I'm fine thanks. Uh..I was calling to see if you wanted to...to meet today?"
On the other line, Yolanda was so excited she had tears coming out of her eyes. She was so happy that her daughter wanted to see her. "Sure! I have nothing else to do. Did you still wanna meet at the cafe?"
"Yea, thats fine. Let's meet at 4 O'clock."
"Alright, I will see you there then."
Rhiannon hung up, feeling a little optimistic. Perhaps things would go well after all.
*******************************


The doorbell rang with a tone of impatience. "Hold on, I'm coming!" Cassie shouted towards the door. Her look of irritation turned into a smile as she saw the person standing on the porch.


"Hey there beautiful," Jeff said, wrapping his muscular arms around Cassie. He gave Cassie a sensual kiss, making her feel like she was melting from the inside out. "I haven't seen you in so long. You didn't forget about me, did you?"
Her face blushed a bright red. "Of course not, Jeff. Just been busy. I missed you though."
"I missed you too, beautiful." He reached out to caress her face. Cassie softly brushed his hand away and said, "I really want to talk to you about something. Let's go in the living room."
Jeff's face became serious as he was led into the house. He had never been there before, so he looked around cautiously, expecting to see Jareth coming out from one of the many rooms. He was suprised when he noticed the house was completely empty.


Jeff motioned her to sit on the floor with him. Cassie looked at him oddly, but sat there anyways. Jeff got into his comfortable position on the floor, flashing Cassie a reassuring grin. "So, what do you want to talk about?"
Cassie sighed and tried to relax. "Well...this morning I found some papers. Divorce papers."
"What's so bad about that? I thought you wanted to get rid of him anyways."
"I know," Cassie replied, nervously playing with her hair. "But I didn't think it would have been so soon, or so sudden. I didn't even know that they had packed up and left."
Jeff winked at her. "Honestly, you are better off without him. From what you said, he wasn't very attentive to your needs or your career. Babe, you do not need someone like that in your life. You need someone who will stand by you and support you."
"Yes, you're right." Cassie sighed again, feeling a little better.
"Besides, you got me right? You are still the winner regardless."


Jeff got up from his spot and helped Cassie up to her feet. Pulling her close to him, he whispered to her, "No matter what happens, I will be here for you, and to support you."
"Thanks," she replied as she kissed him on the cheek.
"Now, I think you need a stress reliever," he murmured.
************************************


It was evening by the time Rhiannon arrived at the cafe. She decided to walk instead of take the bus there, since she thought she needed the exercise anyways. 4:30, her cell phone declared as she stared at it. Rhiannon hoped her mother was still waiting for her. This is a good first impression, she thought to herself sarcastically. Nervously, she walked up the stairs of the cafe and went through the doors.


As she rounded the corner, she spotted a pale figure from the corner of her eye. She turned around and looked at Yolanda, sitting in the waiting area. All of a sudden old, buried memories of her mother rushed to the front of her mind, bringing back bitter feelings and bad memories. Rhiannon shook them away as she approached her mother carefully. Nerves took over as she got closer.


Yolanda rose from her seat in excitement. She couldn't believe her daughter was so grown up. And so beautiful. She smiled and reached her arms out for a hug, then took them back. She didn't want to scare Rhiannon off. She was just happy to see her daughter again.
"Rhiannon! Oh God I am so glad to see you." She smiled as she gave Rhiannon another long look.
She smiled back. "It's good to see you again too. Sorry I'm late, I walked here."
"No problem, sweets. I'm just glad you decided to show up." Yolanda hesitantly touched Rhiannon's shoulder. "Hey, you hungry? We could grab some dinner while we're here.."
"Sure." Rhiannon became more relaxed as she realized her mother wasn't the monster she portrayed in her mind all of those years.


The two women talked about what was going on in their lives over dinner. Yolanda was especially interested in the fact that Rhiannon was going to go to art school when she graduated. She had never been to college herself, dropping out of high school when she was 15.
Just as they were finished eating, Rhiannon said," I don't want to ruin the evening, but there is something I have to know. Why did you leave me, mom?"
Yolanda had a sad look on her face. She knew this was going to come up sooner or later. "Let's go out on the deck and talk about that ok?"
Rhiannon nodded and they walked outside.


As soon as they settled on a table, Rhiannon asked again. "So, what happened?"
Yolanda shifted nervously in her seat. "Well, you see, back then I was hooked on drugs. A lot of drugs. I cared more about getting my next fix than taking care of you." She sipped some water. "At one time, your father and I were tight. He hooked me up with what I needed. But he didn't really want you around. So one day, he and I got into it, ya know, an argument. He threatened to take away my drug source if I didn't....get rid of you, as he put it. I panicked. I wasn't in my right mind. I took you to that park while you were sleeping, and left you there. Back then, I didn't think about what would happen to you. Not until I got treatment."


Yolanda became quiet, feeling ashamed all over again. It was painful to tell that story to her own daughter, but she knew it had to be done. Rhiannon started to cry, mostly from being hurt and angry. She couldn't believe that happened to her. "How could you mom!" She hissed through her tears. "It's not like I'm some piece of garbage or something! I'm your kid, not a disposable thing."
Yolanda reached out to her. "I know sweets, and I am so sorry. I will be sorry for the rest of my life, cuz I know I ruined your life. I just hope that one day you will forgive me. I hope...that one day we can be friends."


After talking for another hour, Rhiannon and Yolanda said their goodbyes. They walked to the front of the cafe so they could wait for the taxi.
"Just know that you can call me anytime," Yolanda said, giving Rhiannon a hug.
"I will," she replied, hugging her mother back. "And..thanks for coming back for me mom."
Yolanda smiled. "No, I should be saying thanks to you. For allowing me to come back."
Just as their taxis pulled up, Yolanda scribbled down her address, then disappeared into one of the waiting cars. Things were looking up for Rhiannon. She felt like her life was finally returning to normal.

Thanks everyone for following my story. Sorry it took me so long to post this chapter. I got caught up in more RL drama so i haven't been able to update  Embarrassed I hope you all enjoy this chapter.

Hello!
Well I was searching all over google, and other sites but I cant find it. I am looking for an adoption hack that allows you to pick the age, gender and even colour of the child you are adopting. I had it many reinstalls ago, but I don't remember where i got it. Thanks in advance!
By the way, I have all EP's.

38  Simmers' Paradise / General Sims 2 Help / Re: Finding a certain file on: December 05, 2009, 09:31:22 pm
Ok...I followed your advice raven and I found it! thank you Smiley...one more question..now that I have removed the old skintones, which were the Idolatry of Flesh default skins by the way...will the new default skintones show up or will I have to reinstall them? Thanks again.
39  Simmers' Paradise / General Sims 2 Help / Finding a certain file on: December 05, 2009, 09:04:13 pm
I'm not sure if I am posting this in the right section..if I am not I do apologize. Well , my problem is this: I downloaded a default skin some time ago but I cannot remember the name of it at all. I searched my DL folder and found nothing so I assumed I deleted it. I installed another default skin, but when I went in-game my sims looked the same. The funny thing is, one of my sims had a baby and it had the skintone that I downloaded! So, my question is, if the old skins are still in my game how do I find it? and How do I get the new skins to work? Thanks in advance for your time.
