I've tried both the global and non-global version and also tried post #23 but still have a problem. When I click shop at home the action disappears for queue or if they are already at the computer they jump up. Then they cannot use the computer again until I move the chair and then move it back. Other functions of the computers work fine.

Sarah1946,
Do you have an EP installed? The reason why I ask you this because it's working fine to me and I have an EP and I tried with only three files in my downloads folder (MQ_Computer.package, MQ_Computer_Global.package and MQ_Computer_Global_Bank.package). But when I tried to uninstalled my EP, I saw "SHOP ONLINE/Buy Clothing" but no options for everday, formal... when I tried to click on "Buy Clothing", it allowed me to buy but I encountered that jump up. The same thing happened to me when I tried to buy Chinese food and Electronic gadgets. Because this hack is EP required. If you have EP installed and that's a problem how am I going to fix it if it's works fine to me and I dont have basis or guide for testing. Can you please give me more details so that I can simulate it.

Monique, I have EP University installed. It happens with all the shop features only. Everything else works fine. It happened when I took everything ese out of the downloads folder, too. I can buy Chinese food, groceries, use bank features, study.

Still no clue aside from EP and all the shop features.
Is this in University or Original (pleasantview...)?
Type of sim (Elder, Adult...) trying to use it? Gender?
Is this happens in one family? Did you try other families? Custom families or default families?
Or newly created family? I assumes too that you're using the latest version (v4.3) of this hack, cuz in my earlier version I had the same feedback for buying clothes in not global hack version but not all features of shop online and I already fixed that.
Sorry if I have a lot of questions. I just want to simulate the scenario. For it's hard to fix it if I cant see the problem.

So, right now I'm not going to fix it. I have a working object here once I met that problem I definitely update it.

Thanks for informing me this.

Anyway you can still enjoy other features of it.

But if that one unaccessible feature bugs you you're free to remove it from your download folder. Thank you again for testing it.

I like the other features so I'll keep it. I haven't tried it with anyone other than adult, but happens with both male and female. I never use default characters or neighborhoods so it is with custom both. Haven't tried it on a University lot. It happens with all families in all neighborhoods. All the families are newly created as I just reinstalled the game last week. Yes, it is the latest version. I had it before I reinstalled the game and it worked fine.

You didnt mention why you reinstalled the game, maybe there was something wrong with your computer or operating system or your games or upgraded your hardware ....But I'm pretty sure that my hack didnt cause it because you said that "before you reinstalled the game and it worked fine".

Now let's go back to your problem, It sounds like you have a corrupted data (The Sims 2 folder) there and it's not advisable to continue playing with it, my hack is working before you reinstalled the game and now it's not, and there is a possiblity that it might happen to any other hacks too. I would suggest this steps (our last solution):
1. Rename your "The Sims 2" folder "The Sims 2 OLD" in your ...\My Documents\EA Games\...
2. Then run and play game, it would take sometime to load your game because your game is trying to restore the default (The Sims 2). Once you're in neighborhood screen it's ok to quit the game.
3. Go to ...\My Documents\EA Games\... you should see two folders there, "The Sims 2" and "The Sims 2 OLD", in "The Sims 2" create "downloads" folder and place my hack there.
4. Play the game again. Enter to any family or create a family and should work fine now.

How about your favorite custom families and objects in "The Sims 2 OLD"?
5. Go to ...\My Documents\EA Games\... in "The Sims 2", delete downloads and neighborhood (backup this first) folder.
6. Go to ...\My Documents\EA Games\... in "The Sims 2 OLD", copy downloads and neighborhood folder to "The Sims 2" folder.
7. Play the game again. Test custom families. If it's not working, you have a problem with your neighborhood folder. It's up to you now if you want to start a new neighborhood or continue the old one.

Hope this help.

I don't remember why I reinstalled the game but it had nothing to do with your hack. I tried everything you said and it works fine so I guess I have a corrupt neighborhood folder. Thanks for all your help.

More options for work at home
I have been looking about the site for a place to post this. I don't want to start a new topic, and this hack is very related.

Being a true computer geek, I hardly play a family where there is no computer in the house. I am suggesting more options for making money with a computer, such as the original Write A Novel piece:

Develop A Game/Program - logic
Develop A Game/3D Modeling - mechanical (as in technical or just creativity)
Develop A Game/Art - creativity
Develop A Game/Promotion - charisma

I am not sure this is even possible as this involves some progress - is not an instant action. If this is the case, would it be possible to atler the Write A Novel to Write A Program, and base it on logic skill rather than creativity? Perhaps as a different .package. When I come to think about it, anyone can then use an easel to earn money using creativity by selling the art.

Failing that how about a special computer for programmers. Oh, I am so desperate...

Monique - I have found the problem. In each of the neighborhoods that the computer didn't work right I had deleted all characters before I started. Just now, I deleted all characters from a neighborhood and then created mine. The computer worked before I deleted all characters but not after. Now we know what caused my problem, is there an easy fix? Otherwise, I will just live with it. Thanks again. Sarah

Monique - This one neighborhood I want without any townies so I'll just live with it. It works fine in all other neighborhoods. Just wanted to let you know that it is my game and not your hack that caused the problem. Thanks for helping me figure it out.
