Does anyone have any idea where I might have found Edie's outfit? (I'm also looking for Val's shirt in that photo, but that's less essential.) I need it to complete part three, since she's in one of the scenes. It's not a very long update, and I have most of it completed, so I could potentially finish it today if a window of opportunity opens, but only if I have that H&M recolour. I'm pretty sure it came from some smaller site somewhere. Any ideas?

Also, on a technical note... I haven't been able to insert links in livejournal since I've started using Firefox 3. I get the dialogue window and paste the link, but then they don't work. When I hit post, I see the window again, and can't even click on "okay". Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong? I've been forced to add links in another browser, and that's a hassle.

Thanks in advance!

I have firefox too and I sometimes get the same problem. I usually add in links using html mode putting in < a href="linkurlhere" > text you want to put here < /a >. (without the spaces in the greater than and less than symbols) Much easier than adding them in another browser!

Yeah, I use HTML in comments and such, so I know how to do it, but you know... it really did not occur to me to do that for this. *snicker* Silly, huh?

It would still be easier if I could use that link button, though.

Definitely easier with the link button! The thing with me though, is before I figured out how to do links I would just write the entry first with entirely out of html and no rich text mode. Now that was a hassle!

Typing out the HTML code is such a hassle. I usually open notepad and copy/paste the code every time I need to use it like that.

This is an old thread, but there are links to a lot of H&M recolors here: http://forums.sims2community.com/showthread.php?t=48166

Hopefully that will help! The browser issue is weird. I noticed that on someone else's journal, but I didn't know it was Firefox doing it.

Thanks. I already looked though that one, but I think I'll comb through it again.

Did you see links that didn't link anywhere? Mine looked like links, but didn't work. Maybe it's some type of conflict between the new Firefox and livejournal.

Yeah, on someone else's journal, I clicked on the link and it just took me to the same page. I could even see it in the bar at the bottom when I hovered over the link -- it just showed the url for the page I was on.

Your theory sounds plausible to me. It's like that problem with some themes not liking Firefox, causing the White Space of Doom. What a pain!

That's so odd. I wonder what the issue is? I'll have to google it, to see if anyone has posted anything about it.

The mesh looks like it might be this one:

http://thesimsresource.com/downloads/sims2/meshes/744336/ but I'm not sure. I can't find a recolor that looks like that though. *ponders*

Oh, sorry... I guess I wasn't clear enough. It's a mesh from the H&M SP. I just need to find that recolour.

Thank you for the suggestion, all the same. :)

Gah... forget what I just wrote. It just registered that you said it was an H&M recolor...

Heheh... too late. ;) Thanks anyway, though.

I don't know about Edie's outfit, but I have been having the same problem since I added Firefox 3 as well. I just keep pressing it until it goes through. :\

Does it eventually work? I haven't had any luck, even with doing that.

I actually had to edit the posts afterward because it wouldn't work. :(

Yeah, I did too. I hope someone fixes this issue.

Can't help, but I'm having the same link issue. It caused me to post an update full of broken links on thesims2 because I didn't realize the links weren't pointing anywhere. So I'll watch this space in case anyone does know the answer!

It's annoying, isn't it? I hope that someone out there knows the answer.

Have you had any luck with Edie's outfit yet? I looked for it while I was still at work, in between questions, but I didn't turn anything up.

Nothing yet. I'm considering the option of just putting her in her pajamas at this point, since it will be after dark. Not sure if that will work, but I really did want to take advantage of this free time I'll have tonight after the show.

Hey, I put my pajamas on as soon as I get home. :D Sounds plausible to me! (really I just want to read some more SHWC!)

If I run across that recolor, though, you will definitely be the first to know.

If you can't find it, would you like me to fix you up one? It's red shoes and the H&M jean texture, right?.

Thanks for the offer, but I was hoping that I wouldn't have to put anyone through any real trouble over it. Now, it seems that homemadebird has already made one, so I'm going to use that.

Thank you.

Wow. That looks pretty close to me. I would love it if you wouldn't mind sending it along. :D

Thank you so much!

Hmmm... for some reason, it's not showing up in the game or in BodyShop. I don't know much about packaging cc either, but maybe something went wrong along the way. I'll try re-downloading it.

ETA: The file isn't showing up as a package file, so it must be something about how it was packaged up.

Hmm, I tried the create the file again, but kept getting an error.

So I just uploaded it onto the Exchange. At least I'm pretty sure it will work okay there:

I hope it words this time *fingers crossed*
