those two post were very informative thankyou,not looking forward to buying a new computer though and im 38 yrs old,with the bills that you have now,how do you justify another couple of grand for another computer.as my husband says its only a game,but to me its not just a game its my life...

i have always used mts and i really havent had any problems,i have broadband 15 gigs a month and when that runs out,usually in the second week of the month i have dialup and then i only download small things till i get broadband back again...

Snapshots can be added to a neighbourhood or family's Snapshot bin from other neighbourhoods or from anywhere really (your personal photo albulm, a bit of artwork, etc.) but it takes a little hacking.
All snapshots are stored in My Documents/EA Games/The Sims 2/Storytelling in two forms: the snapshot itself and a thumbnail. You cant however, just drop in a shot and have it appear in the Snapshot bin. To prevent duplication, every snapshot taken via the snapshot button has a disticnt alphanumeric name that attaches it to a particular neighbourhood and, if any, lot. Without a properly formatted name, a snapshot won't be available.
The easy way is to take an existiong picture and replace it with the one you want to include:
1.Edit the image you want to use down to 400 x 300 dpi or pixels (for the image) and make a duplicate version that's 128 x 96 (for the thumnail).
2.In the game , take a snapshot of anything in the location you want the image to appear (either a lot or the neighbourhood) and quit the game.
3.Go to My Documents/EA Games/The Sims 2/Storytelling and locate the picture and it's thumbnail version.
4.Open the image and its thumbnail. In each, cut out the existing image and paste the desired image. Save.
5.Launch the game. The images have replaced the existing ones and can be used in stories for any lot in the neighbourhood or the neighbourhood story itself.

Shots can be altered by opening them in a graphics program, changing the image, and saving them under the same file name. You MUST change BOTH the thumbnail and the shot for the changes to be reflected in both versions.

Hope this helps...

i have all the spiders its a butterfly that i need...

i know its a pain but when you install a new ep it always takes longer to load.and you have to wait to enable custom items than go out and back in again.what i do is when its all done go in to the computer and do a disk cleanup and a defrag.yes it takes all day but just think of what fun your going to have the next day.and i usually do cleanup and defrag once a week that keeps the computer running quick.i hope that helps some...

the hacked computer works fine in my game...
