Cornelius is an approximately 8-month-old pit bull mix puppy.

He was found wandering in the middle of a busy road on Christmas Eve. Covered in gasoline, he was originally thought to be black. Once cleaned up, a handsome brown dog was revealed.

Cornelius is suffering from demodex mange (click here for additional photos showing the extent of the mange--be warned, the photos may be upsetting). He's itchy and uncomfortable, yet still in good spirits.

He's a friendly and enthusiastic puppy, and does not appear to be terribly reactive to dogs or cats. What he really wants is to just play with squeaky toys.

The people who saved him from traffic and cleaned him up cannot keep him for long. They are renters and not allowed to have pit bulls (or pit mixes). If the landlord finds out, Cornelius will be forced to go to the local pound. The pound will keep him for a short SEVEN DAYS before euthanizing. They do NOT rehabilitate pit bulls in this condition. Rescues have been contacted and either cannot accept pit bulls or are overwhelmed.

Therefore, this poor pup needs a warm place to stay and heal. Can you help?

Cornelius is in the Orlando, FL., area. The people who took him in are willing to drive him pretty far to keep him safe and get him the help he needs.

If you can help, please send an e-mail to whereismybreakfast@gmail.com Thank you!

So, the last time I properly played the game must have been what, half a year ago. But then recently, I thought I'd try it again. I loaded the game... and noticed that I couldn't hear the tinkley sound when the plumbbob appeared. I continued to wait for it to load, and still no sound came on. I tried the neighbourhood, but saw that none of my sound options were muted. Frustrated, I closed the game and thought about it, but couldn't think of a reason this could be happening. I asked a friend, but she didn't know either. I took out my downloads and everything, but nothing I tried worked. I've just finished uninstalling and reinstalling all my games. (I have all EPs and SPs.) I opened the game, but still no sound.

This is really bothering me now, because I actually really like playing with all the funny sounds they make, but I have no idea, so I thought I'd ask here. Thank you in advance. I think that's it.

i was playing using a clean neighborhood template, then when i send my sims to visit the downtown, i found a creepy-looking NPC and a townie:

 Okay, so I very recently got a new computer. It's got 2.0 GB of RAM, a ton of Hard Disk space, Windows 7, and I don't know what my video cards are because I can't find them. All I know is that I can put the game up on all the high settings and it runs fine; it even loads within minutes, despite my custom content load.

I've got all the expansion packs except about three or four (this is including stuff packs), and Double Deluxe for a base game. I don't know if Double Deluxe is the problem here, or if it was the fact that I had to direct download Seasons from the EAgames website, but I went to play my game and noticed some things were . . . off. I was picking out a bed, and the ones that weren't custom content (although those were funny too), the images of them in the buy mode catalog were weird. Like, some of them were missing sheets and some of them the entire picture. I didn't think much of it, until a little later, the entire ground of my lot turned into this weird green, yellow, and orange splattering. I adjusted the cam and it went away. Then, just about all the road in the whole neighborhood that I could see was suddenly covered with very large tiles of Concrete. That's where I stopped playing.

I know Double Deluxe is very glitchy, if the section of this group is anything to go by. But I also thought it could have been my internet download of Seasons, so I uninstalled down through Seasons and will be reinstalling today. My question is, /could/ it really be Double Deluxe causing me a hard time? Or Windows 7? Or some kind of rogue custom content thing? Or Seasons? I've never had any problems with either the last two before; this is my first time using Double Deluxe, and Windows 7.

My next problem is that my game doesn't have the option to smooth edges, and this is really bothering me, because the edges of everything is really hacked up and so it disturbs my game play, because it looks just terrible. I tried setting all settings to the lowest it could go, but it didn't change it so I could smooth edges.

My last problem is screen resolution. I have an eighteen inch monitor, and when I go to play the game, everything's squished down a little so the people look like midgets in pictures and the game taskbar is squished down. The game itself is not squished, just the pictures. What screen resolution can I set onto my computer, that will make it so when I go and play my game, it'll be normal looking?

Thanks so much for any help.

Circles of life!

About two months ago I had to wipe my computer completely, meaning I obviously had to reinstall the sims and all my custom content.
Most everything is well and dandy, but I'm fairly certain I have a corrupt skin, and I have no idea how you'd go about fixing such a thing.

I use Pooklet's Compulsion skin blends as defaults, and have since around the time that they were released, and they just recently started acting up (after my reinstall)

Every time I would age up a male into elderhood my game would crash, the skin worked fine on every other age group, just hates the elder male.

Steps I've already been through:
deleting and redownloading said skin (S1 compulsion blend)
taking out all my other elder CC in case it was a piece of clothing triggering the crash


For right now I've deleted the S1 and replaced it with a different default, but I'd really like to use my old default again, I miss it.
I'm also pretty sure I've read about someone with a problem with this particular skin, but my google-fu is weak.

If anyone knows how you'd go about fixing a corrupt skin, I'd be more than happy to poke around at it.

Okay, so I have this problem. After getting my game to work and all that (now I don't have to use the CD to play, thankfully so it won't tear up now), I go to play the game. I get half-way into playing a household and the next thing I know, I get this pop-up saying to run Check Disc because of these two neighborhoods, previously made yet deleted from the game. I go to delete the N004 and N005 from my Sims 2 Neighborhood folder, but it won't let me delete it.

Does anyone know where the Check Disc is (I searched in the search place on my computer but didn't find it -- I might not have the right name for it -- I could start up my game and capture a picture of what it says and post a link to said picture) or know what I can do? I had problems deleting the neighborhoods before... so, I would uninstall my games and reinstall them to see if that would work but this is the first time I got the pop-up telling me to run Disc Check/Check Disc.

Solved. Thank you guys for all your help! You guys ROCK! ;D.

So I seem to have a glitch. I searched for it around here and on Google but I didn't find anything exactly like mine. For some strange reason my sims just turn invisible. I can see the plumbob floating and walking around as the sim does things but I cannot click the sim itself, though I can click the thumbnail and I can still tell the sim to do things.
Changing clothes or appearance does not fix it. It seems only aging the sim up/down fixes it. But it's happened twice so I "fixed" it and came here because it was legit freaking me out. This has happened to 2 sims in my legacy and it's very recent, it never happened before gen 5.

Has this happened to anybody here before? Is my neighborhood going to explode? Do I need to make preparations and start backing up all of my legacy sims?

Also my sims keep "jumping" over and over if they aren't occupied. Like they have to do something at all times, if they just stand there doing nothing they starting jumping. If one "jumping sim" dies another one will start to do it almost as if my game is making sure two sims in that home keep having that error at all times. This error has been going on since gen 2.

Here are two logs from the jump errors of two different sims in the same home.

Help? D:

Is there anything that'll let me change a Sim's skin tone in game? I don't even want to add a custom skin, just turn him from S2 to S3 because I made a mistake by not making him S3 to begin with.

The Sim Blender won't do it.

Is blindness a common occurrence for ferrets that have insulinoma? Skipper seems to be developing cataracts...

I've decided to take a second crack at legacies, since I now have all of the EPs and SPs. =D

Once again, I'm putting the first companion to a vote. I've made it so they all are attracted to the head of the legacy, and vice-versa, but once one is chosen, I'll cheat make the attraction more specific.
