After struggling with free will issues, and Benjamin Baldwin dissappearing into
thin air every time he came home with Hadron after work (like if you teleport a
dead sim), I finally had the corrupt though/speach bubbles appear. I reloaded the
lot several times, and if it wasn't Seamus, it was someone else. I suspect Mr.
Baldwin may still be lurking somewhere, since it seems to be a routing bubble
related to the tiles in that particular location.

( Restore or Reinstall...isn't that always the question? )

Please excuse the bad quality, old-school style screencaps, I didn’t have Fraps loaded,
so I used my camera to take a few pictures of the monitor.

( Hello LCD Monitor )

[ETA] It's because my computer fell asleep while the game was loading, nothing detrimental. I'm a little concerned though, because I haven't had anything like this happen in years, and I needed a new graphics card then. Hey, if that's the case, they should at least be on sale this time of year. :P

The rebuild is going alright, slowly but surely. I've had a few instances of sims jumping and losing freewill, something I haven't seen since Seasons first came out. I've organized my downloads somewhat since, and removed anything that I hadn't used ongoingly. I found an old thread in which Numenor mentioned custom careers causing this bug, and how they can piggyback along with lots. I didn't download any custom careers, but decided to check anyway. Lo and behold, I had two of them in there, one being the Castaway entertainment career track. This makes perfect sense, because the glitching first arose after I got two sims jobs in the entertainment field. It could be coincidental, but I hope that fixes it. Another thought, is that it might have something to do with the quad core processor, which the game was not designed for.

I reinstalled TS2 last night. All went pretty smoothly until I got to the Holiday pack, then I got a popup saying that it might not have installed correctly. I hit "retry" and it went through, so I hope that worked, or is just a wacky Win 7 thing. I certainly hope I don't have to redo that all over again. *crossing fingers*

I saved anything that was pertinent to my story, however, I did NOT save the game files. The machine was running so poorly, that it estimated a time of over two hours for the backup, and the computer prior to this got hit with a virus; all my long played games are dust. I'm always leery of saving existing bugs and glitches anyway. Now, I get to put my hood back together as it once was, and play like mad to get everyone caught up to their correct life stages, as well as any life changing events. Oh, and SimPE their genetics so they're not homogeneous. After all that's been taken care of, I can finally sit back and play. I'm really looking forward to this part!

I also have several male sims with the dreaded "RSL-browcombed_puregreenm.package" attached. Does anyone know of a fix for this? I previously deselected it with Clean Installer on my last game, but my hood was already so borked, that I honestly couldn't tell if it had worked or not. It never reappered in my downloads though.

More funky texturing problems. I've come across sore items with texturing from other items, or in this case, no texture at all. Any idea what could cause this?

I use this security camera on practically every community lot, it does not normally look like this. It reminds me of the lot loading on Sims 3, only the textures never load.

( two more hiding under the blanket )

I've reclaimed a good portion of my downloads, but since I no longer have the Apartment Life EP, I've had to remake the Seaspray apartments from the ground up for my story. While I was busy decorating, I happened across these interesting vases.

Recognize the dining room?

I've had this nacho dispenser in the game for years, but somehow I'd never noticed the texture transfering onto the vases before. I sort of love it. Where's the chips though?

After 6 months, I think I've finally found the problem to the grey mouth & eyelash glitch. It's a combination of the last Maxi eyeshadow (silvery white one after the cateye) and a mapping issue with various skintones. All of the shadows do it to a certain degree, this one was just more noticeable.

Removing it fixes the sim, but there's also a fix for it, so that the shadows are still usable: MTS - Sclera correctors that change iris less, and also fix gray eyelashes and gray mouth

So simple, yet sims have died over this!

He slept, showered, even went to work with it.
