Phew, thanks! I haven't explored the new AL hair options yet, but I know it would have annoyed the life out of me once I did!

The same as a lot of other people, I guess: skintones, eyes, hair, makeup, as I can't abide the Maxis look on my sims.

Closely followed by mods/hacks to fix all the annoying and daft stuff that will no doubt be part of the Sims 3 experience.

Beautiful as always, thanks so much - stay well!

Thanks so much, Linda - as beautiful as all your work.

So happy to see you back, and glad that you are feeling much better. :smile:

Oh, of course, it's the TSR 'tracking' stuff - thanks PegasusDiana!

Still, I'm a bit hacked off, as I am one of the 'paying customers' of TSR and I feel resentful that they don't make it clear that they have modified the files in this way - or maybe they do, and I've just missed it!

Thanks, debbycus - so I was sort-of right about TSR manipulating files in such a way that WW can't handle them - and if it is some form of spyware, then that's really sneaky and I'm rather miffed about it!

Sorry, debbycus, I'm afraid the site has closed down - thanks for pointing that out, I've changed my sig.

Bren, good luck with re-downloading stuff - what a nuisance!

Hmm, perhaps opening the file (to decompress it), then saving it again with the compression option switched off might do the trick? I may try that out, if I get the chance.

I haven't actually tried hair, as I'm more than happy with the SimPE plug-in for that, which seems to work really well.

I've been testing out WW too, and have discovered the same thing - that editing files downloaded from TSR just does not work, whether you allow the program to compress them or not. They crash my BS, so I haven't even tried them in CAS. Anything else seems to be fine though, so far.

I'm guessing that maybe TSR already applies some sort of compression, or other doodah (good technical term that!), that WW just can't cope with, as stuff from exactly the same creators but not obtained from TSR is fine.

Sorry to hear, Bren, that you've lost loads of stuff (hello again, by the way!)!

These are beautiful, thank you for sharing!

Gorgeous, Ruby - thank you, thank you!

Thanks so much for sharing these - I've been seeing them on other people's sims for a while, and wondering where they got them, and now I know!

Lovely recolours - thanks for sharing!

These are gorgeous, Christi!

Beautiful work, Christi! :clap:
