so recently i had to do a funky computer format, due to a virus.
and while it kept all my data files, my programs were erased. no big deal!

well, its been a month or so now and with the Sims 3 coming out, ive been a bit more excited to play the sims 2.
i have to reinstall all the discs, no biggie and i feel now that i wanna start from scratch.

but heres the problem, ive had the Sims 2 since it first came out, along with that all the expansion packs (minus a few Stuff packs) and quite frankly, i organize my custom content like a dead duck :/...

all my content is seperated in folders like 'Housing' 'Cosmetics' 'Clothes' 'Furniture'
and in those folders, their seperated by Expansion Packs. and not 'Meshes' etc.

so its quite possible, ive downed a new hair (for example) but ive had the mesh since ive had Nightlife ya'know?

can someone advise me on how to fix this situation? i really don't want to add any old stuff.
and ive got Delphy's CC organizer program but i don't think that'll help very much.

Should i just start completely from scratch or take the time to sort out my downloads?
what would u do in this situation or what DID you do in this situation?

i know today is the first day it came out [here in america] but i was jus seein if anyone else got it.

i plan on gettin it friday on payday, just so i can say i have all the Sims 2 Expansion Packs [i was never really fond of the Stuff packs] but i must say Apartment life seems very interesting to me.

it kinda sucks tho cuz if im correct, i read rumors that some hacks and mods wouldn't be updated this time around and sometimes it sucks gettin a new EP when it first comes out cuz there are literally no hacks or anythin for it.

so yes. i guess this is a little discussion thread

oh. well don't let the title fool you to much, i know how to tell a story lmao.

but my main question, is.
When you do Screenshots, do you use the camera system in the Sims 2 or do you print screen and resize and photoshop and whatnot?

because i wanted to introduce some of my characters and such created in the sims but i think the pictures i take using the camera in the game come out to small unless im looking at the wrong folder. but regardless they aren't as big as everyone elses on here.

i just need some suggestions is all.

thank you in advanced!

i havn't been on this site since like...march/april-ish?
i don't know, i have my moments were im not interested in the sims (as far as playing it goes. i do keep myself updated on the information) after a while because of my other interests but now i think im back for another while longer!

i already know about the Sims 3 stuff, i was around for that and i saw the new E3 trailer.

i havn't boughten the new Stuff packs because i don't..think i need anymore bathroom or furniture. well to pay for anyways.

so, lets see. im more of an urban style person. so could anyone tell me some new meshes that came out? or anyone want to advertise their house or new clothes or hair to me or something?

LOL im gonna be on this site for i know the next 4 hours trying to catch up on over 3 months of content. *salute!*

I haveeeee no idea why all of a sudden im getting Oject Errors all of a sudden, ive taken out old hacks (since theres no FT version of InTeen or InSim) and any recent objects and default replacements ive added. (note this problem just started occuring last night)

and when i restart my game, go into debug mode. i still get object errors.

the one thing i fear that it maybe the House i just recently moved my sims into, which was a custom house that i downloaded. but im not sure. the problem didn't flare up UNTIL i moved into the house but what could be wrong with it?

my sims can't change clothes, can't play Ps3, can't get on the computer. nothing, it always pops up with a Object Error. and stuff on MTS2 isn't helping me any X___x; uggh. Help? Anybody?

ok i also know how to enter the food contest, special lot or community lot yah.

but is it the same for all other contests? my sim wants to win a video game competition and i swore i saw it as an option on his computer onetime but now i can't seem to get it. i honestly can't remember if it was on a community lot or not.. so like yea,

so thats pretty much my question, How do you enter a video game competition?

ok so, i got Freetime the night it came out (i was in wal-mart *joy*) and i created a family, yes.

but one sim in my family, everytime he takes a shower, his body disappears and all thats left is a floating head, his jewlery and his off colored junk (becuz i can't seem to get to the options to change it to match his skintone)

but ive notice, its only when he takes a shower/naked. his body shows up fine when his in his underwear and clothing. but when it comes to bein naked his just a floating head and peen. how do i fix this?

and if i have to, how do i change skin tones in SimsPE? i know there was a topic on it but i can't seem to find it

i hope someone can help me here, its weird. its not that my CC isnt showing up at all. alot of my clothes are showing and working fine but i noticed that after i downloaded an outfit from Tenshii~Akari, that her outfit wouldn't show up in CC. the mesh shows up just fine but her outfit wont.

so i deleted the file out of my Downloads folder and reinstall it, still didn't show up. and when i decided to see what the issue was, i noticed that some of my outfits before hand were doing the same thing. its not the mesh or her CC.

the problem pretty much is: my newest CC aditions are not showing up in the game, their mesh will show up and if its a set, maybe one or two outfits but other than that they dont appear. could someone help?

Yo!
I have a question (apparently)
I want to start from the very beginning of my Sims game, like i just installed it onto my computer BUT! i allowed my cousin to borrow sims 2 and university so if i uninstall it then i'll be sh!t out of luck until i get the game back.

so i was wondering, is there a way through SimsPE or anykind of program that i can restart my sim game without uninstalling it?
