F.A.Q.


Q.   Where am I supposed to put all this stuff I just downloaded?
A.   Depends. Skins go to Game Data/Skins (not in subfolders, just under Skins.
Walls & Floors go to Game Data/Walls or Gama Data/Floors.
Objects go to The Sims/Downloads (or The Sims/Downloads/DeviantSim if you want to
remember where you got your stuff from).
Houses go into UserDataXX where XX is the neighborhood number you're putting the house (make
sure you're not overwriting a beloved family!)
Animations contain explicit instructions in the readme.

 

Q.   Your objects are crashing my game. What should I do?
A.   It is most likely that you need to change the id using a program such as Object ID.
It is a fairly simple program that is easy to learn. Occasionally our files will cause conflicts;
you use our objects in your own game at your own risk.

 

Q. What is/What do I do with the 'DS_store' file I found in my zip?
A. When a Mac user zips up a folder, the OS often creates a 'hidden' file which stores information about 
the folder that got zipped. When a Windows user (or Mac user running a VPC) opens a zip that was zipped on
the Mac OS, that hidden file is often visible...and it's called 'DS_store'.  The file can be thrown away, 
it is not needed in the game. (it also won't hurt your game if it accidentally gets in). In this case 'DS'
does NOT stand for 'Deviant Sim'....at least, not so far as we know......

(Product Description: DS_Store Cleaner is a great tool for getting rid of .DS_Store Files
which are created by the Mac OS X Finder.)

 

Q.    The animations don't work!
A.   Before you post somewhere explaining how you can't get the animations to work, read ALL
the information available at M&M Needful Things Yahoo Group & ALL the readme's included
with the animations.  *Note: if you are using the most recent Love Chair animations by Raeven,
our objects may not be compatible. Sorry! If the old ones are working for you, you're fine.

 

Q.    Do Sims1 objects work with the Sims2 game?
A.   Nope.

 

Q.   Can I clone your stuff?
A.   Objects in our "bases" section are free to clone, provided you do not charge for them and
provide a link back to our site. All other cloning policies are retained by the creator of the original
works our objects are based off of. Please respect the rights of artists by not claiming others' works as your own.
For original DS objects and meshes, please just ask us! We'll probably say yes. Don't forget to
read readme's, they often contain important info.

 

Q.  I have a question you don't answer here.
A.   Too bad! No, just kidding...send us an email if you must, look on our staff page for info; or
join one of our Yahoo Groups (click here for links) and ask your question there.
