Reading your guestbook after following the link from your entry comment on Cooney's lot. I have to tell you. I don't think she ever got your message. You should probably respond to her in her guestbook. I agee with you about the launches. So if in doubt. Don't download.

Probably something TSR should fix as I know many people download from the catalog without going to the details page - and - thanks to updates that have changed the launcher - some downloaded lots that requires expansions or other things will still install the lot.  Then if the person places the lot that got by the launcher it ends up corrupting the game that that lot is saved to.  I found this out with some lots I had made and others downloaded without checking for any requirements.  In a couple of cases they were games that people had played for a while - went to edit game to add a new house to move their sims to and then using that lot corrupted a game they had played a long time.  It took me a while to verify this as I am not exactly sure what the launcher is looking at to determine that a lot can be downloaded/installed but several of my lots got past the launcher when I tested it on a separate install of just the base game while others did not.  No idea when EA will fix the launcher or even if they can figure out how the broke it but it becomes more important for TSR and other sites to make sure users know, up front, that a lot requires more then teh base game.

Hi Stormwench, In response to your question, under additional notes in the description of the lot Simerset Splendor, I have listed requires Ambitions and Late Night. How it still remains listed as Base Game compatable baffles me. I don't know if your launcher will allow you to install it if it is not compatable. I know my launcher will say "missing expansion pack" and will not install. So sorry I can't be of more help. In any case I'd like to say. Welcome to TSR and happy downloading.
