as the title suggests, items in my game have suddenly started turning invisible.
wait, let me explain better.


I'll place an object, and it works fine, and then I'll resume playing the game somewhere out of the line of sight of the object and after a while it'll just disappear, but my sims can still use them, although only by themselves, I can't click on it.

So far it's happened to two objects, the expensive Maxis microwave, and the expensive Maxis telescope.
my hood is fairly new, and all my hacks are up to date, as is CEP.


I have all expansions except Uni + holiday stuff, H&M, kitchen and bathroom, mansions and gardens, family fun stuff...I think that's it.


Any suggestions?

Hi guys. I posted here a few months ago about not being able to use custom furniture, but that's fixed thankfully! However, I recently got a few expansion packs and I installed them (If it matters, I have Pets, OFB, Uni, Seasons, and Nightlife) and I go into the game and I want to use the custom furniture I have but I go into the sort by room and sort by function folders and none of the furniture is there. It's not in its collections folder either. I DO have Custom Content turned on. The downloads folder says that all the furniture is still there. Any reason as to why it's not showing up? TIA!

I figure this is a long shot but I've spent hours now searching for a couple of toddler outfits and I just can't seem to find them, so if anyone recognizes these outfits, can you please point me in the right direction? I'd love you forever!

There's a lot of fire in this one! And I don't know why!

I keep trying to start my Sims 2 game, but it won't load past the screen that says something about "Genetic Modifiers" (or something to that effect.) It should be the last thing or so to load, but it takes FOREVER to load, and I've waited 30 minutes before shutting it off and it still never loaded past that screen. Does anyone know why this could be happening? I do have a lot of cc downloaded... but would that do anything to it? I do have a pretty slow computer, but it's never done this to me before, just the past few nights I've tried.

I'm getting a new computer for Christmas, and my mom doesn't know what the operating system is. I want to order some new games (namely the base game so I can actually play on the new computer), but I'm not sure if they'll work. See, with the recent release of Windows 7, I'm not sure if the games will work on it, in the off-chance I get that operating system. I know that the XP games can work on Vista, but can the XP and Vista games work on Windows 7? Can each game work on all operating systems, providing that the PC ones are on a PC, and the Mac are on Mac?

EDIT: *Thanks to everyone for answering; All these answers are very reassuring and I'm confident that whatever I get, I'll be fine. And I hope other people with the same question are put at ease by this as well :D

Hi, I'm having a major problem with my game!

I'm playing the Sims 2 Pets on a three-year-old Compaq Presario that has never, ever had any difficulties before. I haven't used the game for about three months (I was away at uni, and left my game at home for obvious reasons!!) and I tried to play today.

It loads fine (faster than usual, I swear!!) and everything seems to run fine - until I try and click on a sim. The 'action menu' appears for a split second and then disappears, as if I was clicking twice!
I have no custom content so that shouldn't be causing a problem.

I've checked out my touchpad, and it doesn't seem to have any funky settings...
Can anyone help me out?
