1  Resident Creators / Mod Requests / EP8 Playground objects enabled for adults? on: September 03, 2008, 11:00:53 am
Just wondering if it would be possible to enable sim adults to be able to play on the slide/roundabout/monkey bars.
The teen animations are so cute, but I don't play a lot of kids or teens, mostly adults and I'd love for my adults to be able to play on the playgrounds as well.
Much like me, I want them to be big kids :tongue5:
Thanks in advance for anything lol.
2  Simmers' Paradise / General Sims 2 Help / crashing problems/blue screen of death/graphics glitches >_> on: June 30, 2008, 11:40:49 am
Er, hey guys.
For the last two weeks or so, maybe longer my game has been crashing on and off. Sometimes it'll play fine but then it'll give me the 'application has crashed' dialog box, or even a blue screen of death.
I'm trying to keep reinstalling as a last resort. :/

What I've done to try and fix the problem:

  • Deleted the cache files over and over again, I normally delete them once a week anyway.
  • Deleted CC I've downloaded recently/redownloaded and overwrote the original files
  • Updated my graphics drivers
  • Deleted some outdated/conflicting hacks


And I'm currently trying to compress some of my sub folders in my downloads folder.

I came across this in the 'logs' folder of my my documents/ea games/sims2 folder and was just wondering if it had anything to do with my problems.

=== Machine info ===
OS version:      Windows NT 5.1
CPU:             4188.799804Mhz, Name:GenuineIntel, FPU:1, MMX:1
Memory:          1024MB

Free memory:     404MB


I've underlined the line I'm wondering about. Does this mean the CPU has little/no memory? I've checked my harddrive and I've something like 109 free GB's of space left.
Is there anyway to up the 404MB at all? I don't really know how to do this, if anyone knows that'd be brilliant.

Here's what the log said about my graphics card if that's any help

=== Graphics device info ===
Number:          0
Name (driver):   ATI Radeon X300/X550/X1050 Series

I checked and my card is supported, but last night, when it crashed to BSOD, ati2dvag.dll came up with an error attached to it.


I'm so frigging confused and frustrated... all I want to do is play again without crashing. HALP.
3  Simmers' Paradise / Anecdote Assistance / Would Anyone like to read this in a Sim Story? on: December 30, 2007, 11:26:09 pm

The first thing Briar can remember about her life was feeling different.

It wasn’t because of the way she looked, or dressed,or even spoke. She melted into the crowd as easily as the next girl.
She didn’t know exactly what it was, but it was something deeper.

Under her skin.

In her blood.

It was as if a part of her didn’t belong her own world.

Even in her sleep she sensed this feeling of...
disbelonging.
Gloom haunted her dreams.

The heavy smell of the earth.

Eyes glowing red and orange from the peripheries of her vision.
Redness running in the gutters like rainwater.

Screams puncturing the silence of her bedroom, the victorious roar of creatures she was too terrified of to give a name to.

Every night without fail.


It's the first (and very crappy) draft of the vampire novel I used to work on. I'm driving myself crazy not actually working on it, so I might just make it a sim story for a bit.

Whatcha think? Some of you might know Briar from her brief stint in Miss Midnight. I had to drop her out because I suck.
So, anybody want to read my fiction? As an added incentive... Nico is one of the main characters xD
4  Simmers' Paradise / General Sims 2 Help / community lots crashing. on: December 21, 2007, 10:29:24 am
This is really annoying me. I sent Harry Dresden to the Crypto nightclub to look for a girlie... and the damn thing crashed without about ten minutes of me playing.
I think it might be a custom content problem, but I'm just curious if anyone else has this problem as well. I have all EPs up to BV except open for business.
The game also crashes when I go to a vacation lot too.
Could it be too much CC, or a too fully storytelling folder?
Please help... it's driving me bananas! (I did play without CC and it was fine, but I'd just like to see if someone else has had this problem too with BV)
Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions Cheesy
5  Sims 2 Community Downloads / Sim Families & Groups / Ulysesses 31-- requested. on: November 05, 2007, 10:16:49 am
Here is 4 of the five sims I've made for Pierreandreply4, who requested them about two weeks ago!!

Sorry they took so long, but here they are Cheesy


I can't remember where I got the eyes for Numenor or Yumi, (it says Shady on the swatch in BS, if you know, tell me and I'll put the link in)

both human's eyes are by the fab Barcelonista: here

Yumi & Numenor's skin is here It's lovely Smiley

Telemachus' skin is by the fabulous Buffy! (I can't seem to find a link, I could have downloaded it with one her beautiful sims! Cheesy)
And Ulysses' skin is by Louis: http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=206740



All are packaged with base game clothes and hair, so you can do what you like to them!!

some pics:


^ Yumi


^ Numenor, Yumi's big bro.


^ Telemachus!


^ And Ulysses himself. Cheesy

Ulysses 31 is a cartoon from the eighties, and it's a retelling of the classic Greek story of Ulysses travels when he runs afoul of Zeus for killing his sons, the Cyclops. It ruled, and I had the biggest crush on Numenor when I was eight! Cheesy

Penelope is still to come, but these will keep you busy. Wink

I could only find a little pic to show what the cartoon characters look :/. Oh well!
6  Simmers' Paradise / General Sims 2 Help / Resolved: neighborhood has disappeared! on: January 24, 2007, 12:22:23 pm
I've lost every single one of my families I've been playing with for months! I've lost all my contest sims, even though when I went into CAS, the custom sims and CC were still there?

I loaded the game as normal, and it was fine, until I went into strangetown (my only neighbourhood since the other two were bugged) and everyone was gone!

The only lot left was an empty field where I placed a sim in a house the night before! I can't believe this! It's like they were all abducted by aliens! How will I get them back? Is it possible?

Or will I just reinstall, for the millionth time??

Thank god i've learned to back things up and extract sims with SimPE!



EDIT: `Nevermind, I moved my sims2 folder and the game recreated it for me! Lock this thread, oh beautiful and most powerful Mods.

Cheesy
