What a fun update! Congrats on the rank 10, and you're moving that way quickly in the IKEA store! What a big store that is. It must be very hectic to run that shop. When my sims change into uniforms at work, they all have to have brown hair. Glad my game isn't the only one that glitches when using uniforms.

And what a big family party! It looks like a lot of fun with that bunch!

I can avoid everybody having the same hair by selecting an individual uniform for them (even if it's the same outfit), but the blank face and brown eyes I have found no cure for. Wonder how Irene could keep her appearence?

Tempted to get IKEA now. I don't buy stuff packs, since I could download gigabytes of stuff for free if I wanted to, but IKEA is kind of unique, I guess. Of course it is mandatory for the Swedes, less so here.

[jungfrun68]

Swedish companies has reslized the marketing potential in letting simmers play with their stuff, like H&M and IKEA. It's actually pretty smart (even if Norwegians don't think so ;))

Somehow I don't think simmers would be as interested in playing with Statoil...

My game glitches with uniforms as well. It gives all sims brown eyes and no eyebrows as well. It also sometimes changes their facial structure. Usually I just don't have them wear uniforms because it bothers me too much.
You are leveling up the IKEA store very quickly. :)

If it's such a common glitch, isn't there a fix for it?
I'm impressed with Martin's work with IKEA, he's a real businessman these days :)

[olivethegreat]

The weird thing is, sometime after I said that, I went to play my game, and tried to put a uniform on one of my sims, and their appearance didn't change.
Lately, before I have been going into the game I have been deleting both of the .cache files in the Sims 2 folder. I don't know if that has anything to do with it though... it's just the only difference in my game from the last time I tried other than more CC. But I didn't download anything that would change that problem.

Great job as usual with the stores :) Hope Ikea continues to prosper for Martin despite all of his employee problems and that his family doesn't start to feel too neglected.

[jungfrun68]

I don't know what was up with the sims that quit, they weren't even in red. Well, well, there s just no way to please some people :)

Nice job with the level 10, and with IKEA so far. Awesome. In Breeze Point I'm back to Hua-Ling Kimon, who's LTW is the 5 top-level business. She's got one and is working on the next. I'm thinking a grocery store might be a good idea since it has everyone bring home groceries. Kind of nice.

[jungfrun68]

Grocery stores are perfect, since they have that side effect of filling the neighbourhood fridges, instead of everyone bringing home vases of flowers yu never know where to put. In that respect Sims1 was better, where the flowers actually went to waste after a while

[ciyrose]

Yeah I can agree with the flowers thing. Although I really like the snap dragons....although I've never gotten anyone to the level of making them yet. lol Hua-Ling is working on it. I want her to have a flower shop at some point. I've got 3 business to go...well 3 new ones anyway.
