Is that all Sims can do now? They used to be able to watch cartoons and sports shows (for the sports parties), but they don't anymore.

The TV is TURNED OFF in the picture. Other options become available only after it's turned on. Hasn't it been always this way since base game?

Thank you for this wonderful fix because I needed it but I don't know about where you put the clock fix. I can't find the Res, TSData, or anywhere like you wrote. Can you tell me about where to put that? I don't know if that's for XP or Vista but I use Vista and I can't find it. Please help me. Anyways, thanks for the TV fix!

Even when on, the TV no longer gives the option to select cooking shows, cartoons, news, or sports. Sports programs are tuned in by Sims, but the cooking to learn option is definitely missing. Try any of the televisions, especially the original sets that tell you in their descriptions that cooking skill is developed "+cooking." Maxis must have neglected to include these options in the later expansions.

All channels definitely exist in my game, including cooking channel, as shown in the attached screenshot. Which EP/SP do you have, anyway? Are you sure you don't have a hack conflict?

I couldn't check yesterday due to electrical storms. Yes. Once the television is on, Sims can switch to whichever station they wish to view. I might have been in a community lot, or I may have only had the set off. Thanks for the photo with the options showing. My apologies for the confusion.

Updated to v1.01

2009-01-09: Updated to v1.01. Made IKEA clock fully usable. Elders can watch IKEA TV while lounging on the sofa.

File names were changed, and "IKEA TV Screen Fix" is now incorporated into the main package.
Remove these files from your Downloads folder, Bins or StuffPack\Objects folder.

LdDarcy_SP8IKEAObjectsFix_FT.package
zLdDarcy_SP8IKEAObjectsFix_ClockOnly.package
LdDarcy_SP8IKEATVScreenFix.package

Rewrote the installation guide to reflect the change.

This fix is only for pre-AL EPs. If you have either AL or M&G, use my Stuff Pack Objects Fix Collection for Apartment Life instead of this fix.

My IKEA dressers/wardrobes don't do anything in my game, they just sit in the game with no clickable funtions. My Teen Style Stuff dressers/wardrobes do the same thing. Do you know of any fixes for these?
