I've just re-installed M&G and have restored from back up all my CC.  When I tried to re-install things like lots, floors and walls that are in simpack files I get a denied access box.  I've been re-installing from back up for years and have never had this problem.  I am using a new M&G disk that includes Pets and Family Fun.  I only installed FF and M&G.  I even tried a fresh download of one of the lots to see what would happen and I'm still denied access.  In all the years that I've been Simming, I've never had this problem.

I used to have a beautiful wallpaper/carpet set that came in three colors; ecru, crimson and cerulean.  Each color had several variations for the paper and carpet.  The word "damask" was also in the name.  I could have sworn I got them at TSR but I have searched and searched and cannot find them there.

Thank you Gitte.  Those are exactly the ones I was looking for.

Suddenly my M&G disc doesn't want to load.  I'm not sure if it's the disc or the cd drive.  It doesn't really matter which because I can't afford to fix either one.  So, is there a way to custom load the game so that the disc is not required and is so do I have to reload all of the ep's and stuff packs or just the one that I usually use as the game play disc (M&G)?



Thanks for the response.  I didn't mean to break any rules.

I love playing beach lots but everytime a sim sunbathes it leaves a black shadow behind which can be seen in the neighborhood view.  It wouldn't bother me that much except that each of these spots that a sim has sunbathed in now acts like an object is still there sometimes blocking access to something else.  My sims are always sneaking off to sunbathe and I never realize how much they've done it until I return to the neighborhood view and see all those black shadows.  Does anyone know anything about these black shadows and how to get rid of them?

I've been looking at all the wonderful images that people are posting and I'm learning a lot of stuff.  I've downloaded mods that can place objects just about anywhere.  Now I need one that can take a posed sim and set them on another surface of a different height.  I've seen the OFB one but I don't have OFB.  In a post I read somewhere (too many posts, too many sites to remember) the creatore of the image said they used "ostmp hack."  Does this ring a bell with anyone?  Thanks a bunch.

I have a nice young couple who are making their way in simland.  During college they learned how to perform tai chi.  Now THEY DO IT ALL THE TIME!  Is there anyway to have them unlearn it?
