Where do you get the decor and furniture? From the expansion packs, or can you download them? Because most of the things on the original game are kind of lame
cali*gal said:alright, so i have the U2 sims, but is there anyways i can get my girl to be able to go over to their house, right now only they can come to her house. if anyone can give me some advice that would be great. thanks.
Sicy said:Hallelujah.. you went to 'create a new family' and did not see their heads and bodies there?
Sicy said:That's really odd.. I wish I could help.
Maybe extract them again?
Rainbow said:Hallelujah, if the game works from drive E, I think you should extract the files to GamaData\Skins that is in E, instead of C. Hope it works!
Rainbow said:Ok... so can you explain again what you have in drive C and what in drive E? Cause as far as I know, the whole game should be in the same folder...
Hallelujah Here She Comes said:I don't have any of these expansion packs. Could this be why the U2 sims won't work? I really hope not cause I can't plunk down another $30 for an expansion pack just to get the U2 Sims...

Well, when I first downloaded the guys, I got that message too, but I downloaded them anyway. They worked for me, for the most part. The only thing was, I couldn't call their house for some reason.
What you can do though is just use the skins once you download them and make a "new" U2 and it should hopefully work better.
Hallelujah Here She Comes said:
Well, it's good to know that's not the reason. But for some reason the site won't let me download them. It says I'm not connected to the internet. Really? Then my computer must be magical because I can somehow access the internet despite this. Blargh.
*wonders why she is Sims cursed*

You might want to try their Tech chat. They were really helpful to me when I was having problems with my game.
Hallelujah Here She Comes said:Ok. I tried to download the U2 sims and this is the message that popped up:
Note: the family you are about to download includes objects from the following expansion pack(s):
******
Livin' Large
House Party
Hot Date
Vacation
You must have at least one of these expansion packs installed to load this family. In order to view the objects placed with the above expansion pack(s), you must have the corresponding expansion pack installed. If you do not have any expansion packs installed, the family will not load properly and may crash your game.

I don't have any of these expansion packs. Could this be why the U2 sims won't work? I really hope not cause I can't plunk down another $30 for an expansion pack just to get the U2 Sims...
Sicy said:
Uh.. I didnt have any expansion packs at the time I installed the U2 sims.. but I didnt download them.. I just unzipped the file Rainbow sent me into the skins folder.
I'm sorry you're having such a problem with this! It shouldnt be this difficult... but maybe the fact that your files are split on two different drives could have something to do with it.
wertsie said:Hmmm...I think it's only with the expansion packs where you have the "import a family option." It would be on the "neighborhood view" screen.
When I downloaded them, the next time I opened my Sims game this little screen automatically came up asking me if I wanted to import the family.
