i don't have ffs installed. i got red flashing walls from lots and create a family due to a crappy video card >.>



i did exactly that, i even moved downloads folder to desktop. the error still pops up! >.>

what do i do now?

omg!!omg!!omg!!omg!!omg!!omg!!omg!!

I f-img hate their patching system. :-( I'm glad they care enough to attempt to provide us with the least buggy product they can, but I hate that I have to re-install my game :-P Ah, but thems the breaks kid. I'll be happy to see that out of bounds crap gone, though. Poor simmies with lamp posts looking all freakin' weird on the wrong side of ths walkway. Pissin' me off more than them, honestly.

Just as I finished typing that last bit, I re-installed and added the damn patch. There was one problem though, one file I forgot to back up. DAMMIT! I backed up all of my neighborhoods, but got sidetracked and didn't back up my downloads file. *Sniffs* And I had just gone through CI and disabled my hacks.

Man, am I ever glad I back up my custom content monthly, but I lost almost a month's woth of goods! Grrr! *Kicking self*

On a further insult to injury note, now my custom stuff isn't showing up. *bangs head against wall*, *takes deep breath* Okay... step one...

nevermind. i went to the wrong directory and found the wrong globalcatbin.bundle.package XD

anyway, it worked now. thanks a lot squinge! :D

Urumi,
I also have this problem for my most favorite counter (of course....) and tried to make the changes noted above. Please clarify how I am to take this info from the compressed.zip (I did find it on the CD) and once this is done, should I just place it in the FFS object.package? I do not see how I could do it the other way around (from FFS harddrive folder to the CD).
Anxiously awaiting your response.

I see only a few of the 50ish fixes apply to my computer. I do not know if this patch will cause more problems than it fixes.
Thank you Squinge for advising us to remove hacks before installing. I see a few listed issues where your hacks had already fixed it.

I giggle at this one
"Bag of Poo will no longer break after installing The Sims 2 Family Fun Stuff." no matter how hard your sims step on it ?

I am having problems with my game it doesnt have management in its menu, there's no sales on the customers menu too and i cant sell any food...it would say cannto be sold. PLS HELP!!!!

I still have the crashing problem.

I just realized that before I reinstalled, I forgot to manually remove the game files that aren't automatically removed during the uninstall. Could that cause problems?

The bug of FFS "Unfinished paintings on an Owned Community Lot can't be finished if a Sim leaves the lot and returns" and the patch change for "Unfinished paintings on an Owned Community Lot CAN NOW be finished if a Sim leaves the lot and returns" it's not true. I can't finish my paintings when I returns to my bussines.

I installed the patch for OFB and now I cannot load my Sims lots. The loading page just stays there forever, so then I have to hit ctrl alt delete, and then close the game, and then reload it again, and then if it does load the house my sims don't move and the clock doesn't progress it is just stuck at 8:00 am. Can someone please help me! How do I get rid of the patch.

The great Squinge sees all, knows all!

No, I'm not being sarcastic; I mean it. :-)

I tried four times to install the patch, downloading it afresh each time, just in case it had gotten corrupted in transit or something, and it crashed every time.

I did what Squinge said, and it worked beautifully.

Thank you so much, Squinge.

What would we ever do without you?

jep,i did more or less the same and lost everything, spent days reloading and finding all the meshes and hacks.got the sh-ts and turned FFS into a frisbee, anyway you live and learn,have fun.

moonlight_muse, where do i copy that file to??

Lol you know what after i dowloaded all this stuff i noticed that may game wasn't runnin right. So i decide to see if i can find a patch that can handle all the hacks and custom content that i downloaded ( cause honestly i'm just now findin out about modding the game, i know i'm soooooo late), and from what i'm readin i'm so afraid to download any kind of patch although all my stuff is backed up cause i send it to a back up folder then extract the files into the game, so all my files are backed up but i don't feel like goin through all the installing and uninstalling. That's just to much work, but i really want my game to run smoothly. So if you guys find a patch that truly works post it cause i'm always on the boards.

Pets Patch finally released !!!!

Good thing! Thanks for the info KHLVH

So this is the last thing you have said, KHLVH, rest in piece.

I'm having trouble installing EP3 patch on a clean reinstall of OFB. It simply won't install and gives me no file corrupted path...!

Here is a screen:

The top box says i have to reinstall the game =S... But i already did, twice!
I can't update the pets expansion aswell, therefore can't install Celebration, H&M, Teen Style or IKEA stuffs!
