Is there a cheat or mod that allows me to enable the buy mode for bon voyage community lots???

Okay something strange is going on with a particular family of mine

as soon as i moved out my sim and started a new home with her

all the food disappeared!!

My sim used to know how to cook alot of things like: Turkey, blackened catfish, Steaks etc...

now she only can cook chef salads and instant meals

but when i go back to the place she moved out of

the people their can cook those things that my sim that moved out can't

what happened?? She didn't lose any over her skills (her cooking is at a 7)

anyone know the problem?

Okay so i have all the EP's but i have no Stuff packs

this is an on going problem

i can't seem to download anything really

i tried dorms, beach lots, hotels. homes

and every time i try to download something in a

that lil pesky message comes up "This content requires expansion pack data not installed"

i make sure every time i download any house or lot

that i read all the requirements

Only on Vacation lots??

I just installed both EP's

and now my sims can't buy clothes (when i go to the clothing rack and hit buy my sim just stands there and nothing happends)

I have a couple of squinges mod

i hope those aren't the problem

So im in the market for buying some RAM for my PC

i already have 256mb, but my game runs so slow right now its unplayable

So what do u guys recommend?? I'm thinking about buying a 512mb so i'll have 768mb in total

But i want to be sure thats fast enough, so i need you guys advice

BTW i the only EP i have is Nightlife if that helps

thanks

So i finally bought Nightlife and installed it

so when i boot up i noticed that it was taking a while for things to get started (like neighborhood startup,create a family, build mode, etc)

and even when i play with a family with a little house and ONE person it still acts sluggish

this never happened with the Base Game

I know its probably my RAM (i only have 256mb)

but the original never had these problems

help me!!
