In a pre-made, populated university (Quadington) the secret society never showed up (the "arrest" scene). I've played it before and had them show up, but this time I'm not even seeing secret society members in the college phone book. I created a secret society lot, but still no members generated. I had already removed "no dormie regeneration". What can I do?

By nose masks, I mean makeup like these that change the shape of the nostrils and nose tip.

Do you have nossrespawn? That's the mod that suppresses spawning of secret society members. nodormieregen is for dormies.

Anyone know of another way to open sims2 packs other than that netframe thingy? I can't get it to download.

@omglo
You can set any makeup to work for infants. In SimPE, find the PF and PM "Texture Overlay XML (XTOL)" and write 21 instead of 1 in the age category. If there's only CU, and you want them for PU/BU too, write 23 (20+1+2 --- 20=BU, 1=PU, 2=CU, 4=TU, 8=AU, 10=EU, 40=YU). Basically add up all the missing ages and replace the age line for the youngest age you can find in the file (makeup is often for both male and female, so there's usually double XTOL resources).
You can apply makeup to babies with Change Appearance (use a mod like Insimenator or SimBlender - mirrors don't allow for infants), but the makeup doesn't show on the baby in the window until you've clicked OK. Accessories work the same. Makeup and accessories should always have thumbs and/or descriptive hovertext, or you'll struggle to find them in Change Appearance. Costume makeup doesn't seem to be thumbnail friendly, so use hovertext.
Here's an example of some freckles (possibly also lipstick) enabled for babies:

netframe? Can't you use the clean installer? Or do you use Mac?

The answer is probably no, but: Is it normal for objects in wants to show up in pink? For example, 'Play on Computer' but the computer in the want slot appears in pink. I just want to know the severity of my issues... (Have been experiencing crashes and pink flashing on a university community lot. Thought it had something to do with the cooking competition table, but apparently that's not that case.)

Sounds like a graphics issue MMAA - and no, objects in the catalogue or anywhere else should not be pink.

Yeah, I've been struggling with it.
Also: @simsample - I just remembered and tested what you suggested; removed Moi's water texture mod and that seems to have fixed the issue for now. Thank you! :lovestruc Shame though I can't have the mod. Let's hope that actually was the culprit, though.

@M.M.A.A.
Oh good! What I would also advise is to check your system temperatures too; the program I use for this is a free program called HWMonitor from CPUID. You can get it here if you'd like to try it:
https://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html
Choose the free download on the left of the screen; either the installer version or one which you can just unzip and use without installation. The reason I'm advising this is just to check that there's not a heat issue there, as that can cause reduced chip efficiency and affect the way the graphics processor works. That program will automatically pick up your hardware- for my sims computer it picks up the voltages across the mainboard, hard drive temps and fan speeds too, but how much information it can read depends upon your hardware. I run it whilst I play sims so that I can keep an eye on things.
I will choose a path that's clear- I will choose free will

deleting My Documents directory folders.
with main game, those folders (and their "default" content) would be regenerated during next game startup (or some when running Bodyshop). what about in AnyGameStarter (any kind of installation)?

As non-MTS neighborhoods, are Beacon Falls and Maple Valley safe to play? Aren't they corrupted from the beginning?

AGS only installs the neighbourhoods you make. It's not exactly an alternative full installation.

Why would they be? It will depend how they were made.
Looking at the download pages, although the group that made them were based at T$R, they were aware of the work Moo did on hoods and seem to have made some effort to ensure they were good. Besides, I guess it doesn't really matter if they are corrupted unless you want to play them long term.

Okay, I'll look for and install clean installer. I didn't put it on this computer cause I never could figure out how to use it. But, I'll give it another look. thanks!

It does in my case as I hoped to create a durable uberborhood consisting of non-Maxis neighborhoods, and play it at least for a couple of generations. Unfortunately, I didn't usually stick to it for long. The last time I started playing it I also attached Tarlia's Viper Canyon, and after playing a family with toddlers in Shady Shores for 1 or Sim days it became corrupted. I think that happened because of Viper Canyon, but I could be wrong. I want to be sure other neighborhoods are not threats.

I've never had this problem before but I went to use:
Crisps&Kerosene's Sims 1 ice cream stand- in my game and the only option that comes up is which type i want (I guess soft or hard?) Then the action gets canceled and they can't buy anything.
Am I missing a file or files somewhere?
I had a hard time downloading the original files for some reason from DropBox (finding the files for the actual cones)
Thanks if you can help.

Is there a mod (or can it be created) to be able to control ghosts in some ways, such as directing them to a specific place or possessing tombstones, chairs?

Is the Marry Off Six Children LTW still fulfilled if any of the children get divorced before all of the others are married? And if they get remarried to someone else does this count towards the total, or does only the first marriage count? I imagine it's just the first marriage that counts, but I thought I'd check.

Tombstones.zip (90kb). Contains three files, CJH_TombstoneUpgrade.package overrides fifteen of the tombstone's resources including the pie menu so it is likely to conflict other mods. CJH_TombstoneUpgrade-Light.package only overrides four resources so it is less likely to conflict. For obvious reasons don't install both, they both basically enable ghosts to stop their normal haunt behaviour and do whatever you tell them to then go back to haunting.
The other file, CJH_MemorialPainting.package is a painting that will display a portrait of the departed for the closest urn/tombstone to it.

I read that that if one of the Sims gets married twice that it counts both times. Make sense because I know from experiince that the 5 Businesses one is fullfilled if a business go to level 5 an then down to level 4 and then back to level 5, if it does this 5 times the LTW get fullfilled.
