images not showing up?

Archived from groups: alt.games.the-sims (More info?)

Has anyone here ever logged in and somethings in the game did not load or
just show up?
What I mean
Last night the grim reaper was in my game, but when someone dies he was
invisible , when the car pool came the image to go to work ( the little blue
photos did not show up)
this was the first time it ever happened to me . I did nothing different or
download anything different in this time.
If anyone else seen this happen before please let me know
