LOL Im liking the fishing part, except that my sim keeps getting boots, (The last I recall, he had 6 boot) and a tiny fish. I gave the boots away as gifts And Im really serious bout how deep it was (of course it wasnt planned to be made so deep, I just had a tendency to over click the "lower ground" button) that my dad was asking me why my pond had no ground in it
The pond does need to be deep, but you might try fishing in it. Sometimes I don't see fish until I do that, and I have a very nice graphics card. As for Uni, I wonder if it's just because time advances differently there? Maybe your next term will be the next season? Just a thought.
I definately thought there was a glitch in my game and that was why I couldnt make snowmen or snowangles. So if you have to have a lot of snow to make a snowman, then how much snow is a lot?? I really want my sims to make a snowman!
I think by the second snow on the lot there should be enough. Try moving your cursor around the lot, especially in a patch of open snow, and see if you get an options indicator. You should be able to make snowman/snow angel.
I don't know if this is a bug. In one of my houses Playing the piano or painting is taking away fun points. And I also haven't seen the fish in the pond. I have a 250mg graphics card, so I don't think its my machine. i also had a problem with one of my sims unable to get into the red spar. all the other sims could, and it was his spar??? I hate it when they put out games and use us as the beta testers I,m thinking to delete everything, all my sims and family,s and lots. The whole game. and start all over again. It seems to me that you have to be a programmer just to play the game. I spend more time fault finding than playing. I only hope that maxis comes out with a patch real soon. I'm a Virgo so everything has to be perfect. I don't even know what cep is? Can someone explain. I feel real stupid regards Moon
CEP stands for color enabler package, its what makes our recolors of furniture show up in the game. Without it they won't work.
Thanks for your reply I just found it on the web and installed it. Not sure whether I need it. But I did it anyway. I just came across the Maxis BBS and had my computer tested. It passed with flying colours. Way above minimum req. So I think there are a few bugs with the game that needs to be Ironed out regards Moon.
AAAAAh I killed my neighborhood. What ever you do. Don't accidentally use you sims 2 disk. If you have seasons. I accidentally put the wrong disk in and it reset my whole neighborhood back to the beginning. I hadn't saved a backup so all my families have gone down the glitch hole. On the good side I have a clean, start all over again install. I used the Boolprop and can now see all my little Fishy's in the pond. Happy again. regards Moon
Yikes! It didn't change when you restarted the game? How horrible. I keep obsessive backups ever since a glitch made me back waaaaay up in my game. Of course, right now I can't play at all. I have no idea why your piano acts the way it does. Is it just one lot? If so, move out. If not, it could be a download interfering with your game. If you don't have downloads, I'm stumped. One thing to try for your pond: Is it deep enough? If it's not deep enough you won't get fish. By spar do you mean hot tub? Were other sims in there? Sometimes if it's set a certain way they stomp their feet because someone's "blocking" them, even if there in reality is no one blocking them. And of course only four sims are allowed in at a time, and pregnant sims can't use the love tub. Too late, I guess, LOL. Hope this helps.
Hi witches No I have worked out the piano it goes just a bit lower than full fun and detract and adds fun points. And the love tub is the one. No one in it and the poor sim was complaining about not getting in. It was just one sim. Since i re installed. Have had no probs. For the fish I had to use the boolprop useshaders true. then it worked. I have just found another problem. Since I re installed I cannot get the ford mustang package to install. It says this content requires expansion pack data that is not installed. I know I'm doing something wrong or have forgotten a step. I wish it would tell me the data thats not installed. regards moon
Did you install Nightlife? You need it to use cars. If so, it could be that the custom package doesn't work with the EPs you have installed. That happens to me sometimes.
That could be why your car isn't working, then. I love Nightlife. If you can afford it, and your machine can handle it, you should consider getting it. Dates, and downtown, add a lot to your playing options. And cars are definitely useful. And everyone knows I'm a sucker for vampires.
No . I have a lot of work just doing the gardening. I might get it some time. I have fixed the problem with the car and garage. I backed up my resent sims, then uninstalled. then re installed sims2 basic. added the car and garage, even though it didn't show up. Then installed seasons and re double clicked the car and garage, It works fine now. I think I had a glitch when I first re installed seasons. the computer froze after installing, so I hit the reset button and everything seemed OK until i tried double clicking the car and garage regards moon
