* simsetter 2.0 hd

i buy Hot Date
a catastrophe for my favourite files for The Sims, the new shaped meshes
all of them don't work anymore, Maxis decided to stick all shapes automatical to their FIT/FAT/SKN Sims universe, although it would be just a tiny switch in the program to make another working in the similar way
they didn't do it
i decide to program a needed tool for such a switch, after a lot of too & fro, the tool is ready, but i've lost any motivation to bring it online

the expack is full of bugs & changed editings for objects, like eg. doors & windows, which won't drop down anymore under the cursor
my Sims are bothered by the unnerving Drew Carey everywhere, his car's blocking downtown & hinder the Sims & me from any amusement

the game is runing jerky
thank you Maxis

on september, 11th i get a response from Daniel Grove, the webmaster on thesims.ea.com, tiring explanations on my side, frustrating replies on his side follows
no one of my informations & suggestions is taken seriously, just Heather's certifications written to Daniel Grove cause a movement first

i'm removing many of the faces from SimOnes, that's not enough, Tyllenol claims to remove ALL of the faces
this story ends firsts several weeks later with movements on the Starlight&TobyKat's Forum with the renaming to N99
