    Swapping thumbnails' placement on the selection menus

    Hi there !!!

    Is there anyway to swap the placement of the thumbnails in the selection menu ? My University 1 is in between the 2 and 3 ones, so I would like to fix that. This is a bug that happens when you load the 3 default universities in a hood. Once you load the U003, the U001 and U002 swap places in the selection menu.

    So, the menu is like this: U002/U001/U003, and I want it to be U001/U002/U003.

    Thanks !!!

    LOL Jill, there's a word for people like you ... but I'll just call you a neak-freak :p

    I don't know how you might do that. Have you checked to see if the game is not just displaying them in the order of most recently accessed?

    neak-freak ? I don't understand what word it would be. I just hope I'm not making a bad impression or anything. Well, I'm not Monk's relative, so... hehehe :).

    Well I like everything right. But no, not in the order of access. When you first load a newly installed game (or deletes the save dir, so the game recreates it again) and add the universities to a hood, I add the default 3 ones to each hood. So I add U001, then U002 right after it and the thumbnails are in order. If you exit and reload the game, they'll still be in order, like U001/U002. Then, when I add U003, the thumbs are still in order, but when you exit and load the game again, the thumbs 1 and 2 will swap places, so it will be like U002/U001/U003. Isn't there anything in modthesims2.com or some other place for this kind of "problem" ? :)

    I suppose that was a typo and Mirelly meant to say "neat-freak" like one guy I had in the office next to mine...every morning when he startes his shift he'd unpack his pencils, sharpens them and then sorts them by length at the edge of his desk...that guy was a true maniac...he was driven by the clock...every day at around 4 o'clock he frequented the bathroom and re-applied the glue (or whatever they use) to keep his toupet from slipping off :D
    Back to topic: I would like to change the order of the thumbnails of my sims on the left.

    Yeah but neak freak is funnier. Changing the order of thumbnails is easy, just hack them into age order :p

    Hi all !!!
    Ok, I knew Mirelly was kidding, It just surprised me hehehe :).

    No guys, I don't want to change the sims thumbs in the game, I want to change the university menu selection. Take a look at the thumbnail in this message. You'll see that La Fiesta Tech is on "slot 1" and UNESIM in "slot 2", so I want to invert these, because the strangetown University (la fiesta tech) is U002 in the core game file's structure, and Unesim is U001. But when adding U003 to this menu (Le Danc Academic), slots 1 and 2 get swapped, so I want to "unswap" them. :)

    Ok gotta go now, it's 07:25 AM here in Brazil now, so the Formula-1 Official Qualifying Session is only 35 minutes from getting started. hehehe :). Can't miss that :).

    See ya !!!
