I have seen when people upload their sims and have the list of CC posted up by the sims2pack clean installer.  I was wondering how you get the list to show up?  I was considering uploading some of my pretty sims, but can't figure out how to get the list of their CC to show up on the clean installer the way other people do.  Thanks in advance!

Having completed the project, the Frith's found they had much more time on their hands for other activities now. Phineous completely engaged himself in his study of the planets and space with his new telescope.



Gaibel impatiently passed the time waiting for the effects of the serum by taking up painting. He became quite good at it, even selling a few to a local general market, which they sold to different townspeople not long after the artwork was hung in the market's home deco section.



One night, Gaibel awoke to find himself alone in bed. Thinking that Phineous had merely went downstairs for a drink of water, he fell back to sleep.



But it continued to happen, Gaibel waking up in the middle of the night, alone in bed. After three nights of awaking alone in one week, and Phineous's lethargic behavior around the house, Gaibel couldn't resist bringing it up. But when he questioned Phineous about his late night disappearances, Phineous was clueless.

"I must be sleep-walking," he said, yawning.



He must have fallen asleep on the couch. He remembered Gaibel asking him about leaving the bed at night, and then he just woke up and it had to be at least an hour and a half later. Maybe he should go see a doctor...

The door to the laboratory was open just a crack and Phineous could hear Gaibel inside. They hadn't been in the lab all week, not since the serum had been finished.

"Finally awake again?" Gaible asked when Phineous pushed the door open.

"Yeah. I think maybe I should go see a doctor. I can't get any rest, plus I'm apparently sleepwalking. That's not safe, and after so much time without actual rest, it can take a hard toll on the body. What are you doing in here, anyways?"

Gaibel giggled excitedly. "I wouldn't recommend going to see that doctor just yet."

"Why not?"



"It worked, Phin! It really worked! I figured that a week was long enough for it to really get into our system, and I just couldn't wait any longer, so I ran the test on myself, and it worked!"

"Gaibel, that's great!"

"Do you know what this means? I mean, really know what this means? For us, for others like us, for the world...gosh, Phin, for our bank accounts! Let's celebrate! There's a nice bottle of wine in the cabinet. Oh, but first I'll get your sample and let it run while we're pouring our drinks."



The couple once again toasted to life, love, each other, their serum, and their future while the lab machines hummed in the background, running Phineous's sample through.



Phineous awaited anxiously as Gaible studied the results in silence. "Phin, I'm sorry," he said finally.

"What - what do you mean, you're sorry?"

"Phin, it doesn't look like it worked the same for you. I mean, there is definitely something different in your test, but it doesn't look like my results. This looks...I'm not sure. Honestly, I'm almost worried. You might want to look at our samples and compare. It looks like we have more work to do in here now. I'm so sorry, Phin, but your results look like something that we didn't predict or prepare for."



After seeing his results, Phineous couldn't hide his disappointment. He retreated to the backyard, requesting to just be alone for a while. What did his results mean? Was this why he had begun sleepwalking? Was this why he was so exhausted all the time? Did his results mean something bad had happened to him afer drinking that serum? How could they have missed that such a drastic difference in effect was possible during all their tests and preparations? Had they rushed into this all too quickly? Phineous's disappointment soon faded away to an overload of questions and worry about what was happening in his body and what would end up happening to him as a result of the serum. His telescope was the only thing that seemed to bring him any comfort in the middle of his worries.



Once again that night Gaibel awoke to find Phineous not in bed with him. He reached over and felt that Phineous's side of the bed was cool, instead of warm like it should be if he had recently gotten up. Gaibel was beginning to get tired of Phineous's constant fatigue, and he was getting worried that something really might be wrong after seeing Phineous's test results.



He decided to find Phineous and bring him back to bed. The lights were all turned off downstairs. The den was empty.



As was the living room. Gaibel's thoughts that maybe Phineous couldn't sleep in bed and had come downstairs for the couch or loveseat were quickly erased. The door to the laboratory was locked, as they always kept it when they weren't working. He could out the window that both vehicles were still in the driveway.



All bathrooms were empty, as was the spare room across the hall from their bedroom. Gaibel could see the telescope from the kitchen windows, and Phineous was not with it. He was frustrated and worried and didn't know what to do. He filled a glass of water and sat at the kitchen table sipping it, listening for any noise. Forty-five minutes later, no sound had been made or heard in the Frith household.



Phineous had to force himself out of bed the next morning. He had laid down before Gaibel had even went to bed, yet it seemed like he night had gone by in a flash. Remembering that he was working the second shift at the hospital, he decided to spend some time in the laboratory doing research on his results. Minutes quickly turned into two hours without him having any luck on making a breakthrough. The results were so strange, he almost couldn't wrap his mind around them. Saving the little progress he had made, he reluctantly locked the laboratory back up and began to get ready for work.



When Gaibel got home from work, he grilled hotdogs on the back porch and waited for Phineous to get home. He knew Phineous had been stressing out first over the project, then over his odd results, but his disappearing act at nigh was becoming more frequent. Every time, Gaibel would search the house; every time he would find no clue as of where Phineous could be. Not only was he worried, but he was beginning to get angry as well. When Phineous got home from work, he headed straight out the back door toward the telescope, but Gaibel stopped him. "Phin, I think we need to talk."



"Okay. Is something wrong?" Phineous asked as he sat down next to Gaibel.

"I am trying to be understanding, and I know that you are worried about your results. But are you jealous that my results came back the way we had hoped and yours haven't?"

"Gaib, what are you talking about? That's ridiculous! If it worked on one of us,then it worked for both of us! We were in this as a team. Of course I wish it would have worked for me, too, but it didn't. It worked for you. And that's good enough for me. Why would you say something like that?"

"Phineous, where do you go at night?" When Phineous's reply was a dumbfounded stare, Gaibel continued."At night, quite often you aren't in bed when I wake up. I searched the house for you. You weren't here."

"Gaib, I am not upset that it worked for you and not me. I'm just so glad that it worked for at least one of us. I don't know what you're trying to say about me not being here at night, but I swear to you I am not going anywhere or to anyone else."



"I'm so sorry to sound like I was accusing you of something," Gaibel said, feeling hsi face flush with his embarrassment of acting so immature. Of course Phin wasn't cheating on him. That's ridiculous. Especially after the good news they had found out from his results.



The next few days were spent focused on finding information on Phineous's results. Both Phineous and Gaibel would find partial evidence and clues, but nothing that could be tied together to give them real clues. Phineous's excited voice broke the silence on the fifth night of researching.
"Oh...my...god," he said in disbelief. "This can't be true."



Phineous ran straight to the laboratory, not saying a word of explanation. "Just let me run this test through to see if I am on the right track, okay,Gaibel? Why don't you check your other tests to see how things are going."
Both of them worked furiously to run their tests through and stopped within minutes of each other.



"Oh, Phin, my results! It is such good news, Phin! It's all positive! The serum is working! What about yours?"



"Gaibel, I think I've figured it out. I think I know what's wrong with me. Why the serum didn't work, why I'm so tired all the time. Gaibel, this may even tell us where I've been at night these past few months. I still have some more tests to run and investigating to do, but Gaibel, if I'm on the right track, this is going to almost be bigger than our project or anything that we've ever dreamed of!"

I got the first installment of my story up featuring Phineous and Gaibel.  Check it out!

Gaibel and Phineous have recently relocated. As do many of the inhabitants of their new town, they have some secrets of their own. The only problem is that their intelligence may be too much for them. Will this be their new beginning, or just the beginning of their end?




Meet the Frith's. They met in high school, and knowing that they didn't fit in where they were from, they moved to a town they had heard of. A town where the abnormal, the unusual, the "outside of the box" was accepted. A town where their lifestyle would not be questioned. It was called Strangetown.



Phineous Frith is well on his way up the scientific ladder. He is a very quiet and serious person. He is quite shy and prefers to keep to himself mostly.



Gaibel Frith aspires to be the top doctor in all of Strangetown one day. He is friendly and sociable, the perfect opposite for his partner Phineous. However, he agreed that moving to a new town where they knew no one and no questions would be asked was best for them.



But their relationship wasn't their main motive for moving to Strangetown. They were working together, combining their knowledge, to do something that had yet to be done. Their secret project that their lives were depending on. If it worked, not only would it benefit them personally, but they could gain much notariety after it was completed and would even be able to gain quite a substantial income by selling their findings and results.



They spent most of their time hard at work in their in-home laboratory. Behind locked doors, in a town full of odd occurances, they were safe to study and experiment without question or hesitation.



"Gaibel, it just seems like it's never going to work."

"No,no, Phin! Don't get discouraged. I know it's hard, but this is a complicated theory we're working on. It's going to take some time. Plus, having to be so careful about preventing people from finding out until we're done is going to add some extra time onto it. Just don't worry, Phin. We'll get it, I promise."



While Gaibel was at work, Phineous spent a lot of his time playing around with his new telescope. Gaibel had bought it for him on his last birthday, and in the city where they had moved from, it had always been too bright and crowded to set up such a large and expensive piece of equipment. Both Phineous and Gaibel were quite excited to get to use the telescope for the first time.



It was their third week in Strangetown.

"How do you like the omelettes?" Gaibel asked at breakfast. Phineous nodded. "Are you okay?" He nodded again. "Are you still upset about our project? I know it is important and means a lot, but it's better if we don't try to rush it, you know?" Phineous nodded again. "Have you been sleeping well?" Phineous shrugged his shoulders. "You've been staying up late messing around with your telescope, haven't you?"

"No!" Phineous said. "I mean, maybe a couple hours later than I am normally awake, but I went to bed at a decent hour. I still feel like I pulled an all-nighter, though."

"Maybe you should take a nap before you have to go to work this evening. I don't work tonight. I'll concentrate on the project for a while, you just try to relax."



Phineous couldn't understand why he felt so exhausted, but took his partner's advice and decided to lay down in the den for a couple hours before he had to leave for work.



Meanwhile, Gaibel locked himself in the laboratory. He wanted to make a big accomplishment on the project while Phineous was not feeling well and had to go to work. Having a large portion of their experiment out of the way would defintely lift a huge weight off of Phin's shoulders, and Gaibel knew that they would both feel much better knowing that they were closer to being ready to put their project into action.
   


Gaibel worked all through the day, researching on the internet, working in the laboratory. He only took one quick break for a sandwich and then got right back to work. He was determined to make a break through before Phin got home from work that night.
   


When Phineous got home from work at 10 o'clock that night, the lights in the house were turned down low. Gaibel was in the den poking a a fire and humming softly to himself. When he noticed that Phineous standing by the stairs, he smiled and sat down on the loveseat facing the fireplace and patted the cushion next to him.
   


"I have good news, Phin."

"You made a breakthrough in the project?" Phineous said hopefully.

"You could say that. I spent all day finishing up the research, running tests and testing formulas. One number, Phin. We had one number wrong in the initial formula. That was it! Can you believe that? How long have we been working on this? All for one lousy number. But luckily, I found it, and I found the right number. I fixed it. It was more than a breakthrough, Phin. It's done. The serum is ready."
   


They were both shaking with nerves and excitement. "You're sure? I mean, I know we said we would both be the first to do it, Gaibel, but one day and you got it done?"

"Don't worry, Phin. I ran the numbers and formulas a million times. I ran it through the lab at least 5 before I decided that there was nothing else I could do to make it any more ready. Now let's toast."

"To the science." Phineous said.

"To the serum."

"To us!"

"And to our futures," Gaibel finished as they both took long gulps out of their glasses.
   


Gaibel lay in bed that night for well over an hour. He couldn't believe they had finally finished it! He lay as still as possible. He didn't feel any different. Did Phin? What if it didn't work? What if it went wrong? No, that's impossible. He took all the necessary precautionary measures. He tested it and ran it through the lab too many times to miss something or make a mistake. What if it didn't work for him? Or Phin? Or either of them? They had known that there was always that chance that it wouldn't match heir bodies, that certain genetics and make-ups would render it ineffective. He prayed that that wasn't the case for either of them.

Thanks!  I have the story up on thesims2.com, but recently found the plac on here where people can post stories, so I was thinking about putting it up on here, too.  It's definitely a work in progress, so when I post it I'll put a lik up for you guys in this thread if that's ok and ay constructive criticism wil be appreciated.

Here ws a pretty zombie type sim I made for a contest on here a while back.  Her name was Sable.


This is Anna-Lynn.


Willow


Camilla


And I can't remember her name, but she's pretty...

I started a legacy family, but my game messed up and I lost all my CC fr a while, and I ended up never finishing the legacy,but the 1st generation kids were cute.  I can't remember their names cuz it's been so long sinc I layed them.
Daughter




Son

Here's a new couple that I have been making a story with.




This is Phin, short for Phineous.  He looks mean in this picture.


And Gaibel.


Bonding over half a hotdog lol.


And cuddlng on the couch.

Ooooh,that explains it then.  Thanks.

I have tried and tried using the censor removal cheat intProp censorGridSize 0 so many times and it refuses to work!  I know there is a hack to remove it, but I don't really want that because I don't want it for all my households or all the time, only when I need it, and I don't know how much more downloads my poor laptop can take.  Am I typing it wrong?  What's the deal??

No, I mean it won't even let me place them on a lot, but I figured out why.  I found where I downloadedit from, and apparently it won't work due to some clash with Bon Voyage...

I downloaded the thing frm MTS2 that has the 200 and some odd in game objects to make them buyable and usable, such as the matchmaker's crystal ball and other rndom objects like that that are in th game but only for certain interactions.  The problem is that only 1 or 2 of them actually work and letme buy them and place them on los and such.  The crysal ball and all other objcts like that wont le me use them, but I knw they are supposed to work because I've seen people use them in stories and contests and stuff.  Did I do something wrong?  How do I make it so that all objects included in his download package work in my game?

I had this same problem with the phone and one of my sims,and trust me, it doesn't have anything to do with any CC that you have downloaded, because mine occured not long after I had re-installedmy games and didn't have any CC at all.  I can't remember exactly hw I fixed it, but I tried moving the family out of the ot and back in and deleting the phone and buying a new one and using boolprop to right click and force an error o the phone, in which I tried resetting it (which didn't work) and deleting the phone that way and buying a new one.  Anyways, I wish I could remember more about how I solved it, but som combination of all that fixed my problem.

I was wondering where everbody finds all their beautiful hairstyles for men, cuz I haven't had much luck i my search so far.

Also, I need a good content manager.  I had the clean installer thing, but it didn't do everything I needed it to do.  I want to clean out my downloads folder, but a lot of the downloads I have were from packaged sims, and  I want to keep some of the items they came with, but not all of them,and I can't find a content manager that tells me what the objects is, what it looks like, and what the actual file name is (the string of numbers that are extracted into the actual downloads folder).  If anybody knows anything that will help me in this, I would super appreciate it!

So I read he faq page about how to attach the files to a thread, and it seems pretty easy, bu how do I know where the specific file is that I amwanting to upload? Say I make a sim in bodyshop, do I package it to a file somewhere onmy computer and then hat is the file I attach to the thread? :?
