Body Shop FYI

I only noticed this recently, and I'm not sure what caused it, but it's something you may want to know about.

I've recently tried to install some Sims I've had before and gotten an error message: "This content requires Expansion Pack data that is not installed." I know in these cases that the Sim has no content from that Expansion Pack and has ( Read more... )

ea, sims 2, whining

I think the ELE would welcome The Mild Mannered Professor.

Damn, now I have "Bad Horse" stuck in my head.

Is this on sims you've had in your game already, and now they just aren't installing? I didn't even think about that when I put my guys up for download. I thought that by just putting them in regular Base Game clothing would do the trick. Then again, only one of my guys was downloaded two times, so hopefully it won't be an issue.

I hope you can figure something out. Rebuilding is a pain enough without adding extra stupid EA problems to it.

Pretty much. I tried installing Stanley Legacy and Ian Legacina. NOTHING was changed on either of them except for the eyes (Stanley) and Ian (age.) Luckily, Di fixed things up with AGS and I found out what the glitch was that kept me from aging Ian up myself, so both problems were solved. I always keep the old Sim Packs on Sims I've installed, so if it worked the first time, it usually does again.

I admit it, I downloaded and tried to install Zane. Nope. Same thing: "EP not installed." Too bad, because I thought maybe since Cassidy Vetinari was adopted and had a nice childhood, that maybe he and Gilbert Jacquet might like to adopt Zane. Never mind. I have to focus on just getting the neighborhood up and running.

If you want him still. Zane will love Cassbert :)

For lo, Zane has been installed.

I'll do what I did last time: make him as a grownup, move him in with the Calientes, age him down to child, sit back, and watch as the Social Worker swoops in and does her work.

I don't think of Cass and Gil as being exactly the domestic type, but I think they're also pushovers. I think they're likely to ruin Zane by feeding him much too much cake.

Cake! Zane's never had cake before!

Also, I chased down Zane's hair, as it wasn't showing up for some reason. I am pretty sure it is from MTS2, DJ Murs' fixed OFB curly hair for all ages. In fact, I am sure, because once I installed it, Zane's hair magically grew back, and I wanted that hair anyhow. But at least you know it isn't paysite hair!
