Where can I download the beautiful models you have featured in the P.J.s page. The first beauty is wearing Africa Black pajamas and the second is wearing Fantasia Blue PJ's.
They are both so gorgeous....I need them!

Those models are exclusive to the site for our hostess Sugah. They are just for showcasing her gorgeous clothing...

There are many, many other lovely models available for download here , here, here, here or here.

I also asked some time ago about the clothing models, but since have been able to find more than enough on this site.
This is the site for models, including many beautiful ones by Adrianna!

I have also found some on

http://www.simstr.com/gifts

although not lately. Maybe Sugah's site has spoiled me, but somehow I am not thrilled by the postings on simstr in the last six months or so. One of my favorites is, however:

Thanks all! I think I will move out the tenant and put the lot in storage, back up the game and try Caleb's tutorial. I appreciate the help!!

Thank you, Jen & Mac, for answering LisaMac's query, while I was dealing with internet issues.
I appreciate you both mucho.

Thank you, all, for those lovely compliments.
I am blessed to have several talented Sim model creators on our team here, LisaMac.
AdriannaSimmie (aka Jen) has pointed you to where you will find a plethora of beauties to choose from.
I've no doubt you'll find quite a few you like just as much as the Sims you were inquiring about, if not moreso!

When I download a .zip file or a .rar file, once I extract the files and get the .package file, can I delete the .zip or the .rar file? Same question goes for the sims2pack files. Can I delete the sims2pack file with the icon after I install them?

Once a download has been extracted and put into your game, you can delete the winzip/winrar file.
Same thing with the Sims2Pk. No reason to keep it once you've put the item into your downloads folder, Wendy.

Here is a good beginners' guide to downloading Sims 2 content @ MTS2, if you're interested.
I think we've all referred to that tutorial at one time or another.

I do keep a copy of the.rar files on an external drive after I extract and place the program files in my Downloads folder, particularly of items I really like. You may not need it if the site stays open and current (like Sugah's Place does ); but, if your PC dies or something like that and you lose your game files, you may not be able to get another copyof the file if the site is not there any more.

I remember you telling me that, Elle.
It's a really good idea, actually.
Saves a lot of time and energy if something does happen to your game/downloads/puter!

I have a town that I connected a homemade shopping district to. Tonight I added alot of businesses to the district. I put in an empty lot, which was the second largest lot. I go into the lot and it won't load. It goes to not responding. Everything else in the game seems to work except that. Does anyone know what the problem is?

Question Sugah? How long does it take for you to make a business? I would like a specific business if it don't let me do it in my original town. I am gonna try tonight.

If it don't let me, would you consider making a business for me. I am not good enough at the whole creating things and uploading them yet.

I have so many questions. sorry. If I make a really nice house and would like to share it with others, how do I do that?

well, Iam going to go try to make that business in my regular town and see if it lets me. If not, not sure what to do yet.

Some computers can't handle the larger lots. It could be that. Have you used that size lot in another hood and been successful?

Making, or creating the business does not take much longer than building it to your specifications. But getting it to function well and make a profit can take a good while, depending on how good you are at running the business and your sims' lives. If you haven't bought it already, it would be a good investment for you to buy the Prima Official Open for Business Guide. It really gives you a good foundation on the expansion pack and how to run a business in the game.

No need to apologize, we were all beginners at one time. Anyway, no matter how much you think you learn about something, you will find that you often come across something you didn't know before.

Here is a short step-by-step on how to share dwellings in TS2: Sharing Your House. Also, you may donate a creative gift to Sugah's Place, but you must adhere to the rules found HERE.

I hope this helped.

Elle, thank you so much for answering all of Wendy's questions so perfectly.
I appreciate you, as always, my friend.

Hi all, I am new and getting really tired of this game already. I have had nothing but, problems since I bought a digital download a few weeks ago of BonVoyage. Now my game does nothing but mess up.

I have contacted customer Support and they told me I had to uninstall all my games and then reinstall them in correct order. I am doing that now. I did a manual uninstall. There is nothing there.

I reinstalled the sims2 double deluxe. went to install university and it keeps telling me all packs installed but, the only thing installed is DD. Please help!! What do I do?

The best way is to go to Control Panel and then Add and Remove Programs and delete from there, otherwise Registry Entries are left and have to be manually uninstalled.

Anyway, here is a link:

I actually found a better way. I typed the problem in google and it gave me the answer of use the program called CCleaner. Its free, Easy and it helped me remove all the unnecessary stuff.

I am installing the first one now. Let's cross our fingers and hope they all install correctly.

thanks again
Wendy

Good deal, Wendy! I hope it works.
And thanks, Russ, for helping out, as always.

PS I merged this query into your original question thread. Moving forward, you are welcome to continue asking for assistance in this one thread.
We are always happy to help our fellow Simmers here.

Good luck with that!

Does anyone know where I can get some really cute bunkbeds.

A quick search over at MTS2 pulled these cute bunk beds up.
You'll need the original mesh which is here.

The great thing about MTS2 is that they have a "search" option.
Simply type in what you're looking for, choose Sims 2 or Sims 3 and VOILA!

Can someone tell me if the Cars for Sims2 from the carsource are just for decoration? I downloaded some of them but, I can't use them. It tells me no action available when I try to click on them.

It does not matter where I get them from, I cannot use any of the cars I download. Does anyone know why.

One other question, when I log into sugah's place, all the icons and the pics on the left have red X's on them. Does anyone know why?

Do you have Nightlife installed? You do need that EP to make cars usable. There is a kit available on Mod the Sims for people who do not have Nightlife, but I don't know about the requirements for that. You can do a search there if you need that mod.

You may need to update whatever browser you are using, or the browser you are using may have compatibility issues with the forum software. Try another browser and make sure you are using the most current version. If that doesn't help, I am at a loss.

I have the little x's for pics when I am on my laptop Wendy, I would advise Firefox for Forummotion it appears to work much better, its free to download, or if you don't want to do that you would need to update your own browser

Yes I do have nightlife installed. it came with my Double Deluxe game

Hmmm...in that case I would suggest you check that site's FAQ section, and perhaps look on their forum. A lot of times when you have an issue, someone may have addressed it already. Another option is to contact the creator of the custom content.

One other thing I can think of is if you have a mod installed that alters vehicle behavior in your game. If there is a conflict, there is no way to know exactly which one is causing it without removing them all and adding them back one by one to find the culprit.

Wendy, you are welcome to ask all of your questions in this one, original thread, rather than start a new one each time.
I've merged your latest one here.

That's the best, more preferred way to do it.

My browser is IE 7. I can see all of the icons/emoticons.
Firefox evidently works for Claire.
I'd definitely update your browser, if you haven't already, as suggested.

Also, you'd asked about SimPE in another thread. THIS is SimPE, FYI.

Elle, as always, thank you for being here & answering Wendy's questions so thoroughly.
I appreciate you and all you do for Sugah's Place, my friend.
