Hi, I've been playing the Sims 2 for a long time now and I have all of the expansion packs. After awhile I noticed that alot of my "game options", such as going jogging, take a picture, jump rope, give a gift and other game options that were once available in the game when I first started playing it, have seemed to "disappear". I have no idea as to why this happened and was just wondering if anyone else has had the same problem and if so how did you fix it and what exactly causes it? Before I posted here I did try reading thru the FAQ section and the Game Help section and read thru some of the other issues regarding each of the expansions packs but I didn't find anything related to what I'm experiencing. Any help or input would be appreaciated. Thank you.
