Hotels can be built and placed in non-vacation hoods but there are restrictions on how they can be used as far as I remember.

And yet another problem... a couple got engaged, he got a good memory, she got a bad one; she's NOT a romance sim (they're both popularity sims), and getting engaged does NOT conflict with her lifetime want... what could have caused this?? They've been together for ages already, they're in love, their relationship is doing great (100/100), they're BFF... so why the **** didn't she like getting engaged?! I exited without saving... but it would be a pity if they never can get engaged. It would bother me if she had a bad memory of it, so if this can't be fixed, they'll have to stay single forever...

Okay zumppe, I have ideas for a couple of your problems, First, the possible stuck sim and it saying "Say goodbye to everyone," try using the Insim, Simblender or whatever, to delete all visitors. Save, exit and then see if that helps.

As far as the bad memory for engagement, timing and location I think may also play a part on whether the sim views it as good or bad. Especially if the sim who had the bad memory is in college. Try proposing in a different setting, or wait until they've aged (if they're not adult already) and see how it goes.

Okay so this really scared me, I thought my computer was going to crash.

One of my sims is the son of the grim reaper, via the tombstone thing, and I sent him to college. Well, I suppose his father was the one picked to drop him off, and since his dad was the grim, nothing showed up. The first time it just had one of those error messages and since it was in the "close up" shot, I couldn't press anything so I had to close the entire game and restart it.

Then, I went back to the college and movied him out of the dorm, and figuring the whole screen thing was done I moved him into a house. Then it happened again and the guy turned invisable and I didn't have a bar at the bottom. I sent him to a community lot thinking if a loading screen came up it would solve it, but he never left.

The game crashed and my computer went all funky.

It may sound confusing, it's really hard to describe what exactly happened, but I'm really attached to this sim and want to play him, but not at the expense of my computer. =[ Please help.

xemptybrkneyesx, have a look through the Sims 2 Game Help pages. You will most likely find your answer there. If not, there is a link at the bottom of the page to the game help forum.

Thanks for answering, rosesforme17! Okay, I'll have to look into Insim and Simblender... haven't got either one of those and don't know anything about them, so it'll take a while, haha! :D

The engaged couple are both adults, and live on a "normal" lot. I'll try some other situation though, maybe she'll feel better about it then!

Edit: I tried again (third time...) in a different situation, and they both got good memories. Yay!

I think my lot/family/game/whatev is really screwed up though, things happen like one of the sims gets one of those work questions, the last one was about DNA splicing and genes... umm, he's a SPACE PIRATE??! Also, the amount of attraction bolts keeps changing... a girl in the household might have no bolts or just one for one of the guys in the household one day, and two bolts the next... hasn't happened before, just started yesterday.
The family also complain about something being in the way a lot now, strange. Can't see anything though... and it's not just one spot but varies.
Oddly enough there seems to be a lot more oddities now since the family came back from their first vacation! I never had anyone on vacation before, just added the vacation locations yesterday. (There was a weird thing at the hotel... a thought bubble that appeared over and over again, but nobody was there!?)

There are also problems on community lots, like people getting errors every time they try to make out in a hot tub... or freezing on the dance floor so that I have to force error and reset them... oh yes and the old lady (Denise Jacquet) who throws an error every time she appears somewhere, and has to be deleted (reset won't help).

Is there some way I could "de-bug" my game/lot? I really don't want any more problems.
(I have all EP:s, four stuff packs, all patches, and a boatload of downloads, hacks and mods, the newest being the ACR/romance mod/noinstantloves-combo from a couple of weeks back)

zumppe, please post game problems in the Game Help subforum. This thread is specifically for questions about gameplay, not game glitches.

My question is if a joined union between sims will count towards the parent's "Marry off 6 Children" want?

That's a good question! I don't know, but considering the circumstances, that might be true.

My question...I'm about to install Seasons, and I've been filled with horror stories about the Ottomas family and their various issues. Does the Seasons patch *really* fix Samantha Ottomas's pregnancy/Ottomas issues, and if it doesn't, will deleting them before they have a chance to escape the Simbin get rid of issues with them? If not, what is the best way to fix/get rid of them? I really don't want them to mess up my hoods. .____.

Shift-click will cover the walls or floors of an entire room with the selected covering.

Some of my lots don't meet up right with the ones next to them, I've noticed this happens mostly on lots that I've zoned to apartments (it looked fine before I rezoned the lot) can anyone tell me why it does this?

Apartment lot in question and the lot next to it that looks fine.

SBE - this is a problem that occurs with apartments on beach lots, apartments on uneven terrain, and apartments with basements. Mootilda provided a tutorial for fixing it: http://www.modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=302405

mangaroo - Wow, thanks! And I'm sorry but I'm going to ask another question. It says "pick up the occupied apartment" how do I do that? Is it done with a cheat?

#3467 Old 2nd Jul 2009 at 9:11 PM
Isn't it done the same way as any other occupied lot? Go to the lots and houses bin and use the icon with four arrows to move/rotate the lot?

(NOT the one with the single arrow that puts it in the lots and houses bin!)

Hi there!

I want to buy sims university, but first i would like to know if they can have a band as a carrer.
they can be musicians right?
Site Helper
#3469 Old 2nd Jul 2009 at 10:03 PM
yes, but the musician career came with Free Time.

But if you have a good charisma and creativity score, you can make lot of money playing for tips on a community lot. Getting a group of friends and playing for tips works just as well as having a career. And you set your own hours.

I have a quick question. (Or... maybe not so quick if you read the whole thing)

Okay, so my friend just got the Sims 3, and she's selling off all her Sims 2 things. This includes her EP's and everything. She's offered to give me her Seasons EP instead of selling it, and I was just wondering whether I should take the offer, or let her have her money. :D

So my question is...
Is Season's worth it?

#3472 Old 2nd Jul 2009 at 10:42 PM
Ipa: Right. You need Uni for the drums, bass, and electric guitar.

LovelyApocalypse: I like Seasons, but there is an official "Which EP/SP is best?" thread to ask in.

If you do get seasons, make sure you patch it, and that you haven't forgotten roofs on your houses.

I've had a brief search around this topic and the rest of the forum, and couldn't find anything which exactly matched my question, so here it is - is it possible to resurrect (via the Resurrect-O-Nomitron) any of the "suspiciously dead" premade characters in Sims2, specifically the Capp/Monty families in Veronaville? Ideally without using SimPE. I've reinstalled up to OFB, if that makes any difference. Thanks for reading :-)
