Inside your Sims 2 folder,try deleting your groups.cache and inside the Thumbnails Folder, delete all of those files.

The game makes new ones when you start it up again.

You know, I have quite a bit of these, too. I only have five or six of them, but I know exactly what they are. I just figured there was a glitch when they uploaded, so I just figured that's how they were going to be. But, I will try your suggestion, too, EK.

If it's just a few, you can also Ctrl + right-click those icons in the game while in Buy/Build Mode... that is, if you're one that's not into waiting for the catalogs to load.  Personally, I'd go with Ed's suggestion.

Well I tried Ek's suggestion and it didnt work

Then, try Tenshii's suggestion: Ctrl and right click, when in buy or build mode.

Did, no go. When I do that it shows no objects when i drag them into the room its invisible... not sure what the hell is going on.

Are you sure you deleted the thumbnail files? located in the folder My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Thumbnails

[Sinystra]

Yes I did, and they still dont show. Not sure whats up with that. lol

[Squinge]

ok lol that is strange are they custom objects or ones that came with the game?

[Tenshii~Akari]

Do you have the appropriate meshes for those objects?  If not, you may want to make sure you do.  Or if you do, try redownloading them and see what happens.  :angel:

[Sinystra]

These have came with the game.. if they were custom they have that * by it, but they dont

[Tenshii~Akari]

:shock:  Yikes... well, you may want to try either this tricky method, or re-installation... there's a possibility that you had a "bad" install if you've just installed either the base game or a new EP recently.  :?

Just be sure to back up ALL of your Sims 2 files before doing either.  

[Sinystra]

Yea thats what it was I put in a new ep.. so what i did was uninstalled them all and reinstalled them all works fine now, Thanks.

Wow. Mine still don't work, lol. Mine are custom. Weird. Oh well, I've lived with them for too long without pics. Like I said, by now, I know what they are, lol.
