I know how to fix this!!!   Just install one "wall" space as a greenhouse wall (Let there be light!  LOL. )  This is a game related gripe a lot of players have and as long as one panel is greenhouse the lighting issue is fixed.  (Greenhouse walls are in the gardening section of build mode if you don't know.)  You can even put a "stacked effect" (one outside facing wall and a room attached that has no exterior walls with a greenhouse wall connecting them [as long as you remember to light the first room from the outside with a greenhouse wall panel])  Good Luck!!!

:wav:    Squinge is back!!!   Can you feel the :love8::love7::love3::love1:?

I love these!!

umm...   You forgot to attach the file of him....

Nodgree is the actual face changing or just the hair and clothes?  If it is just the hair & clothes I can help!  What is happening is you have not set the hair for all the outfits to the same thing.  I am going to go out on a limb and guess you have Seasons, BV and/or  FT installed.  (If not this isn't going to fix it, but I have had this problem before I realized it was ep related confusion.)  Here's how to "fix" this:

1) When your in CAS go to the 3rd section down from the top (changing the eyes/hair/face/general tweaking area) and go to the hair section.  Look at the outfit selector in the upper left corner of the tab and go to the everyday outfit (if the selection for all is green and the outfits are grayed out, UNclick it, and  select the everyday outfit).   Now click on the hairstyle you want your sim to have all the time.  FINAL STEP -- click the top outfit selector (the all outfit/ one with the sideways figure 8 ).  This should gray out the other options and the hair should stay the same for all your outfits now.  

As to why the other outfits aren't what you thought they would be -- you do realize that when building in BS you can only save one outfit on a sim (be it formal, undies, swim wear, nightclothes, everyday, OR outerwear) and that you have to pick one to upload your sim in and then select the outfits for all the other occasions in CAS, right?  The other issue you may be having is CC that doesn't display properly in-game.  Then the game just picks the first (usually hideous) outfit it sees in line that is EA created.  


Hope this resolves the issue for you!

No problem.  The greenhouse panel is how I always build rooms now, and with some of the awesome curtain/blinds out there you can even have "privacy" for your sims (if they want it! lol).

Another option is to leave one wall space open or make it a greenhouse panel (it drives me nuts too and I always end up putting a single panel of almost all my rooms as a greenhouse so I can avoid it.   The greenhouse panel can even just be facing a room with an opening or greenhouse section and it still keeps it "light").  Hope that helps!

 

Looks fine.   I hope that helps!  (And yes you can change it all back if you need to.   The bigger the maximum paging file, however, the faster your computer will run.)  And you are quite welcome!!

Don't feel bad, I'm a computer geek (it's my major in college).  I'm not sure how to do it in Vista, but I think it's like XP.  Here's how to check it in XP (if this doesn't work you can call your tech support # to have them step you through it):  

1) Right click on your My Computer icon and click the properties option.

2) Click on the advanced tab (across the top it's the last tab on the bottom row).

3) Find the Performance area and click the settings button (on XP it's the top area under that tab).

4) Click on the Tab marked Advanced.

5) Find the box/area marked Virtual Memory and click the button marked Change.

6) Select the radio button Custom (or if you are unsure what size to make the file, you can select System Managed Size, but I don't recommend it) and change the Initial size (MB) to at least 512 (I recommend 1024 or higher if you can spare it -- this is room reserved on your hard drive that acts just like RAM so the higher Initial value the better!  1024 MB = 1 GB )
and change the Maximum Size (MB) to at least 1024 (or if you have 1056 + as your initial/minimum, you can use 2048 (2GB) or higher if you have the system resources. )

This change will help your entire computer run more smoothly, and your computer will tell you how much space you have and how much it recommends (always try to go above the recommended for your minimum amount).  You may have to reboot after making these changes and you MUST be logged in as an administrator.

Good Luck!!

You could try boosting the virtual memory that Vista can use and see if that helps at all.  Sometimes it's not a lack of RAM, but a lack of paging file size/virtual memory.

You could try taking all your CC out & see if it works, then slowly reintroducing the CC one item/hack at a time...  

... which is a huge pain, but let's you narrow down problem items.

I had a funny glitch in my music experience.   I have tons of totally random music copied into all the folders (mostly repeating so I can hear what I like) and so a random song will play for build mode, buy mode, shopping, or whatever.    Anyway my sim got hit by a satellite and the music (instead of the grim reaper) was the wedding march!  I was cracking up so bad I let one of my other sims die because I wasn't paying attention and the song that played that time was "Don't Fear the Reaper"  which had me cracking up again.   I had to reload my lot to undo the chaos, but it was sooooo funny!:laugh:

They are part of the inSIMenator. You may want to take the version you have out and redownload it if the whole package isn't working.  I don't know which version you are using, but I personally prefer the SIM version because I have  all the mod spawns on one simple click, as well as the option to "buy" them.  Hope this helps!

Oh and Feen, you did an AWESOME job!!!  :cheer::cheer::cheer:  (3 Cheers!)

Umm... me too (actually I've purchased every Sims related game Maxis has released :oops: except the new Carnival  SnapCity and BumperBlast).  Would that make me empress? LOL.

You can't place windows and doors properly with a hack that places stuff outside the grid (I'm pretty sure anyway).  Do you have See Them2?  If that's the hack, it's easy to turn off (one mouse click) otherwise I have no idea.
