Most people are having trouble playing th game but i cant even get mine to install! I bought Freetime and Bon Voyage two days ago along with nightlife. nightlife gives me no problems, its on my system right now
but when I try to install FT and BV its say that there has been an error with EAGamesAutoStart.exe or something like that then it gives me the option to send an error report. So can anyone help? I mean i would prefer not to take them back (they were on sale for $19.99 AUS!)

I found the error report it said:

for a better view try http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh186/jordinary95/Grr.jpg

keep in mind that picture was taken almost immediately after I put the disk in. So the installer never even started. It just gives me that message with BV and FT. All my games (including Base-Game The Sims 2) have been patched if that helps.

Okay, I used the PetActionControlCancel true cheat and the ControlPets on cheat THEN i selected the insimenator reproductive adjustor, i used the inSIMenator OBJ package and made my two cats have a litter together. then i chose Pregnancy Stage> Give Birth and it cam up with a dialogue box saying there was some error and it gave me some crap about something not existing,i dunno. It gave me the option to delete the cat, retry, or cancel the birth. Can anyone help?

I have:
Base-Game (duh)
Uni
OFB
H&M
Glamour Life
Pets

I asked for help in the Werewolf FAQ http://www.insimenator.org/index.php/topic,26029.105.html (for anyone who missed the big thingo saying Werewolf FAQ's but, as per usual this site is a ghost town and people seem to help me at the start and then stop halfway through or completely ignore my posts. So, i was wondering if anyone knew how to get the Werewolf/ Custom Skintone Fix from pioupiou? And if you do, don't be a twat and give me clues and send me in circles looking for it. I just want it, not some lame-ass clue like the ones they gave me at More Awesome Than You.






_{Seriously they are as obnoxious as the people at Mungyodance}

when i played the sims 2 (notice the usage of the word played since my game won't actually installed) i noticed when ever my sims had affair if the wife/husband was on the lot they would be found out. they don't have to be in the same room it would be something really obscure like they were on the same storey or they were on the same community lot. but they were always hidden or in a different room and they would still be found out! do my sims have x-ray vision² or is the problem deeper?


_{^{2. if they did have super vison that would be so cool!!!!}}

Okay, anyone who has been watching my posts (i doubt that will happen unless you count MidiMan from SM) I spend alot of time in the general Sims 2 Help thread.

Does anyone have a hack or way to get your new Sims from CAS to start out with more than $20,000? Because i always have to move them into a pissy empty lot, motherlode and then move them out! Really long process.

When I'm not on The Sims 2, I play Dance Dance Revolution. I'm not really that good, it's an achievment to pass a song on Heavy Mode. I'm just curious if anyone at InSIM also play StepMania? It's like a DDR emulator for you computer. It's awesome. If you don't have it, get it they have a website and stuff and SMO (stepmania online) lets u verse ur friends. The latest version is a bit unstable but its way better than any of the older versions. PM me if ur interested

Ever since I've downloaded custom content I've had reason to believe that it's been making my game lag or take forever to load. The places it takes the longest to are:

THE loading screen before it asks you which neighborhood you want to play.

The other two are when I'm in CAS and I want to select eyes. it takes about 5 minutes to load the actual CAS and another 5 minutes to go back to the neighborhood screen and to the house.

From time to time it takes forever for it to do the simplest of tasks like walking or teleporting, becoming a plantsim, werewolf, dying:blob6:, coming back to life (lol)

Is there anyway at all of making my Sims 2 go faster without screwing around with the graphics? Whew, that sounds impossible.
