i tried to make sure this wasn't already a topic and i dont think it is but i apologize if i missed it.

whenever i play a family that lives in an apartment, the school bus does not come to pick up the children/teens. there's not even a "school bus will arrive in an hour" note. anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it?

i just bought a new laptop and i was wondering if The Sims 2 is compatible with 64 bit vista?

any help would be appreciated thanks 

its not really a problem per say but my game has always been full screen or more widescreen but recently its not. its still full screen kinda but now the actual sims screen does not take up my whole computer screen. there are two black bars on each side. it hasnt affected my gameplay but i thought it was kind of odd. any thoughts would be helpful thanks =D

im just wondering...

if sims are in the family bin in one neighborhood, is there any way to get them in another neighborhood without remaking them?

if anyone knows that would be great. thanks
