That - that HOUND in my avatar... He dealt my elbow a nip today. This followed on from a whole succession of his toys being dropped at my feet one after the other. Being the callous owner that I am, I had ignored him and his persistent requests for playtime, so he resorted to teeth warfare. Meet Bullet: sight-hound (otherwise known as 'not very obedient') lurcher - who won't take 'go away' for an answer, apparently.

Bullet was being ignored due to the fact I was repairing various creations already scheduled in my calendar. You see: I forgot to take any notice of discussion about base-game compatibility over at MTS2 (some might say I ignored the advice completely - just as long as they don't say it in MY earshot!). Failing to heed this guidance has meant that some (okay, MOST) of my creations since "Open For Business" was released won't work in the base game (that is, the original Sims without any expansion packs installed).

So, dear readers, if any of you don't own any expansion packs at all and therefore find that some of my creations don't appear, then send me a personal message and I'll see if I can fix the object for you.

I continue to heap many apologies upon you!
