IgnorantBliss: thanks for looking at it. At least I know it's not something I've done wrong. Yet it works fine with Sims 2 Clean Pack Installer.

Lot downloaders will just need to be told where to...

Ah! I wonder if that's because BOTH were in your downloads folder? It seems that placing the original mesh in the downloads folder makes the Maxis version work. What happens with the Maxis version...

Thanks Teresa :)

I know, I've searched high and low too, and whenever this has come up, the advice has been 'get Sims 2 Clean Pack Installer instead'. A good answer for anyone who simply wants to...

Tonight, I found that I could no longer install any packaged lot containing custom content (they're all my lots with my creations). The message is "Expansion Pack Data is required to install this...

Thanks ever so, Numenor. I figured that yoinking out the mesh and then walking away would be a bit tardy. This is REALLY helpful and much more useful to me than invisible (not needed) glass.

Thanks both - will do that tonight.

It's happened to some of Windkeeper's windows too. She can make an entire set, but a couple of them exhibit this trait for no apparent reason (her Lafentere...

Okay, you have yourself an official village idiot here!
