This user has the following games installed:

Sims 2, University, Nightlife, Open for Business, Pets, Seasons
I have a problem with some necklaces. When I click on mirror and choose "change appearance" and put on sim necklace, everything is fine. But when I click "ok" and order sim to do sth, the necklace is gone, and is replace by the weird looking blue square. I have installed base, university and pets. What causes necklace freak out??

I split your post separate from the other thread because it was off topic for a thread dealing with crashes caused by objects.

This is happening immediately after you change appearance... or after you come back into the lot? It sounds like the former, but if it's the latter (or you're getting it in that situation too) that's, err, well, normal - a known issue with Pets and accessories that we sincerely hoped they would have fixed in the patch, but apparently not...

I am having that problem, too. I was wondering if somehow something in the Pets EP overwrote the mesh file for the necklaces, but it sounds like it's just the game, itself.

Well, it happens after I change appearance, and after I leave the lot. Now I describe the example (which really happened yesterday): I put on my sim the necklace. Fine. Then, she went into a community lot, AND, she no longer had her necklace, but only the blue square. After a little shoping, whe went into other community lot, and necklace looked normal again! After she spent some time in this lot, she moved to another community lot, and problem with blue square returned. Finally, she got home and everything was normal again.... well... I never thought the game wolud behave so fiddly!
And final question: is there any way to work out this problem?

Basically, no, not really. Changing appearance after it's flashing generally fixes it, but this is just a Pets thing - Maxis and custom accessories both will do this (mostly the Maxis vampire fangs - haven't heard of their glasses doing it). There's no known permanent fix. Change appearance will just do it temporarily - and unpredictably, as you have seen in your experience, but... that's the one temporary fix option at this point.
