Hey everyone,

I just thought I would tell you this weird occurrence in case it happens to anyone else and they search the forums.

I've been moving/helping out with a family illness and so haven't played, modified, or downloaded anything to my sims game in over 3 months.  Not a thing.  Out of the blue, when building a house, my auto roofs and non-auto roofs  (and i am talking about regular roofs, not cones or round ones) were suddenly around 8 stories high!  This was regardless of the stories in the house, the foundations, or the neighborhood.  Weird, huh?  Reloaded the game. nothing. Emptied the groups and accessory caches. Nothing.  Pulled my hair out to no avail.  So I started the troubleshooting process, sure this was going to take forever.  Moved the Download folder out and reloaded the game.  Everything was find.  Moved the download folder back in.  Everything was fine again.

Weird, hm?

Just thought I would post.  Any ideas what the **** I did?

(everything but bonvoyage is loaded.

Hi!  Just a few questions - has anyone tried this on real estate?  i.e., buying a lot, and selling the deed in a store? (I have a sim soprano who owns the downtown empty lots)  - The lots just seem to go back to the community, except if it is a playable character.  And does it work for selling pets to playable sims ?

Sorry for all the questions...

This is my FAVORITE mod.

I dont understand why EA didnt already do this.  Especially since we are doing so much going out these days.  This has enabled gyms, libraries, coffeeshops, museums, and done WONDERS for my university experience - science department, gym, library, political science department, greenhouse, pre med department... jesus.  the best mod ever.

Oh thank god.

My knowledge sims are THRILLED!!!

This is SO amazingly awesome!

Thanks so much - it works in so many places, not just roman themed worlds, but also university settings and high class restaurants.  Thanks!!

Just an update,

SC updated their winery and bakery for OFB and I've been ok ever since.  Who knows?

*shrug*

I think I know what your problem is... I had downloaded some great community lot items from SimsConnection for nightlife before OFB came out.  They included a bakery set with items that were cloned from video racks, dress racks, and other items that were things you could buy from with a fun quotient.  

Soon after, when trying to go to the lot, the taxi with the blue screen would load, but never really finish loading.  I would have to restart the game.  I couldnt figure out what it was.

Then I was building a community lot while a Sim was on the lot to try and figure out what the hell I had downloaded that was such a problem.  It ended up being the items from the set I had downloaded for Nightlife that had not been updated. They included a freezer cloned from a grocery freezer, a bakery rack cloned from one of those upstanding community lot fridges, and other similar items.  If I put the offending item on the lot, and went into play mode, everything would pause.  Time stood still.  I would switch to build mode, delete the offending item, and switch back to play mode.  Poof, time ran on.

Check your downloads that are going onto your community lot and make sure they are OFB compatible.  You would think a freezer would be compatible from NL to OFB, but it isnt, because now there is new code that allows you to price it cheap, expensive, etc.  I know it was these items keeping everything from loading from my experiences building with the active sim on the lot.

In terms of fixing it, I had to use insimenator to teleport the active sim into another family, make her a family member, and sell the lot.

Hope this helps!

When you catagorize the elder hair, do you end up with all the elder grey hairtones (one for each: red, blonde, black, brown) in every single screen?  let me rephrase.... In CASIE, when I make the sim an elder, whether i pick blonde, red, brown, or black, ALL the grey tones, i.e., five copies of the same, are displayed....

what am i doing wrong?
