Now about the crashing - it will let you into the game, it will let you make the character (in CAS it appears as the mohawk). It will let you move that character into the house, but when your screen gets to far away from the character (zooming out) it crashes. It didnt screw up my game or anything, I just went and moved that character back out after reloading the game, deleted her. Left the game, deleted the folder I put it in, went back on and made a new character - no problems. So, I wouldn't be afraid to atleast try the hair, its easy to get rid of if you do have a problem.]]> http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/preList/46212/383952.page http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/preList/46212/383952.page GMT

Hey...look on the bright side, at least someone was able to create a decent hair that the game will recognize!

Doubly true here.]]> http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/preList/46212/387178.page http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/preList/46212/387178.page GMT ) and here are some possible explainations for why this mod/hair might be causing crashes and other unstability.

First off, this appears to be a Sims 2 asset that was converted to Sims 3. Due to performance reasons we're restricted to a certain amount of Vertices per hair, this hair mod exceeds that number. So for lower end computers, it can lead to slow down and cause instability like crashes and game freezing.

Secondly, it does not appear to have proper level of detail (LOD)settings therefore, when you zoom out to town view it will likely crash your game. Lastly, please be aware there is added risk when downloading and installing a mod into Sims 3.

First let me start by saying, it's nice to see an official reply to a post here on a mod issue... From what people had been saying it sounded like it was a LOD and vertices issue.. since it wasn't a consistent crash but it's nice to have an official word on that..

HOWEVER (ya had to know there was a however.. )... This brings me to some very important (at least to me, and most likely others) questions:

1) When will we get some tools, or even some help from EAmaxis to be able to build true custom content for TS3, that doesn't require trial and error?


2) There was always added risk when adding custom content into The Sims series of games, however, contrary to what Delphy and some other Mod people in The Sims community say, it does seem that TS 3 is less mod friendly than TS 2 or even TS 1 was. After all we were able to mod just about anyhting with TS 2, yet it seems that most of the code that's important for some of the more popular TS 2 mods, was buried in compiled C# code libraries.. Why was that?

3) When will some tools for making new clothing (and Mesh combo's), Hair's, or any other ingame assets, akin to bodyshop be released (if at all)? Or is it going to be up to the talented people in the community to decipher your esoteric file formats, to build tools of our own? I know TSR and others are working on object building tools, and already multiple pattern making tools are out there (something that should have shipped with the game), and I've hear rumors that a neighborhood creator from EAmaxis would be releasd, what's the story on that?

Frankly, for a series that has made so much money due to the custom creations of the community, TS3 seems to have tried to limit it to "Let's make it harder to make content for The Sims 3, so people have to buy it from the store"... And I'd hope that EAmaxis realizes that it was places like Mod the Sims 2, that helped to keep interest in TS2 high, and supporting true custom content, not point and click recoloring is what will make TS 3 and any other future releases so popular.

On another note:
[quote=devi]i think the peggy hair is ugly[/quote]

Agreed, actually. I'm usually really picky about downloading only the best CC. The hair is ok, but the main attraction for me was just the fact that it was a new mesh. I'm not crying about the fact that I can't have it in my game. The hairs I like the best are the ones that fit in with the whole 'look' of the sims... the ones that just seem simmish. lol]]> http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/preList/46212/391629.page http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/preList/46212/391629.page GMT
But it ONLY crashed my game when my sim was wearing it. Leaving it in CAS (and not deleting it from the files) doesn't cause any crashes.

For now I'll leave it there and wait for a patch or whatnot to see if it'll fix it.

If I were you I'd just try it. Don't do anything of importance with your sims and see if it crashes it. Should do it within the first 5 to 10 minutes (of real time play).

Good luck! Wish I could use it..

She even said she needed BETA TESTERS to tell her what's wrong so that everyone can help each other to make the CC hair good.
It's really complicated to make a new mesh appear in the game without replacing an existent one.
Besides, this is different compared with TS2. There's something that makes this hair CRASH the game when you zoom out, I think it has to be related with the Level of Detail. You know, when you zoom out it looks like everything goes on low detail but when you zoom in everything is back to High again. This hair is always on High I think.

Be patient & stop complaining!]]> http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/preList/46212/394071.page http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/preList/46212/394071.page GMT
2. I was aware that she knew there would be problems, but I sent her an email regarding what the SimHairGuru said about her mesh in case she didn't know those things. If she just took a Sims 2 hair mesh and tried to convert it, of course she'd have issues. Besides, Wes H commmented somewhere (I can't remember where) that she's using something other than Milkshape to make the mesh and wasn't sure if the program was supported (if I recall correctly).

And to the idiot that said "way to be grateful," I AM grateful that she made the first hair mesh, but really, she should have just left it on her forums until it was thoroughly tested instead of doing the EA thing and sticking it up for downloading on her site without a warning to downloaders. She left a lot of people freaking out over crashing games. That was ignorant on her part.

Plus, she's done a lot of other ignorant things in the past, but those aren't relevant here.]]> http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/preList/46212/394434.page http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/preList/46212/394434.page GMT http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/preList/46212/394472.page http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/preList/46212/394472.page GMT ) and here are some possible explainations for why this mod/hair might be causing crashes and other unstability.

I absolutely agree on what you said here. The success of The Sims is based on the custom creations of the community!

Alternately.

To the girl who can't find the file to delete it - Are you looking in the program files under "my documents" or "my computer"? Because the file should be at:

C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Mods\Packages

also, if you didn't add the Resource.cfg file when you downloaded it to:

then it won't work either.]]> http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/preList/46212/411993.page http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/preList/46212/411993.page GMT http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/preList/46212/412385.page http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/preList/46212/412385.page GMT
AFTER YOU HAVE REDOWNLOADED IT. REMOVE THE ORIGINAL PEGGY HAIR. INCLUDING THE RESOURCE CFG. AND THE .PACKAGE... THEN REINSTALL THE NEW DOWNLOADED FILE IN ITS PLACE.

ALSO. DO NOT PUT THE RESOURCE CFG IN THE MODS/PACKAGES FILE. IT DOES NOT GO THERE.
YOU JUST PUT IT IN THE PLAIN SIMS3 FILE WHERE YOU SHOULD SEE

CACHES
DOWNLOADS
GAME
GAMEDATA
SUPPORT
THUMBNAILS
THIS IS WHERE YOU PUT THE RESOURCE CFG FILE

THEN YOU MAKE A NEW FILE CALLED MODS IN THE SIMS3 FILE.
THEN INSIDE THE MOD FOLDER MAKE ONE CALLED PACKAGES
THEN INSIDE PACKAGES. THIS IS WHERE YOU PLACE YOUR .PACKAGE FILE.

i assure you it will work.
