Okay, I realize that I am not the most computer savvy person, but I just did something and I’m not sure how to undo it. Maybe I should explain what I was doing first. I have The Sims and several of the EPs. I was reading a page telling how to download houses from the internet and was in Windows Explorer looking at the files and folders (haven’t downloaded anything yet, don’t want to mess anything up).
Anyway, under houses are ALL these houses listed (house01.iff and so on). Well I wanted to see what they were, since I haven’t even built houses on all my lots in the first neighborhood yet. So I clicked on one of them and got the dialogue box that says to pick a program to open the file in. Underneat the list is a check box that says “always use this program to open this type of file”. Well, not being sure what I was doing, I unchecked the box. I KNOW I did. I tried to open the house file in something or other, and it wouldn’t open. So I went back and tried to open it in something else. Well I guess the second time I forgot to uncheck the box. Again the file won’t open , but now I am not getting that dialogue box anymore, just a message that it can’t open the file in this program!
I tried looking in Help, but since I can’t get the box about which program do I try to open it in, I can’t figure out exactly how to word my search and am not coming up with anything!!
So if anyone can help me with how to get it to stop doing that, it would be greatly appreciated!! Also, if anyone knows how to view these houses, that would be cool too (they would all be what came on the games themselves). I have downloaded objects, but I’m wanted to download some houses (I enjoy decorating, but not building the things).
