Yeah, I have xp too, and Unleashed is still giving me fits. Some of my favorite objects just randomly disappear on me -- I downloaded a beautiful lighted hanging pot rack from Oph3lia's site, and it keeps poofing out of existence. I also have some great abstract paintings that are backless (they disappear when viewed from the back, so they don't obscure your view when you play with walls down) and they all seem to have that same disappearing problem -- they don't just disappear when I look at them from the back, they vanish from the game!
To be able to play with xp, I had to set the compatibility for the Sims to Win2K. I dunno why that worked when nothing else did. Before that it just wouldn't load at all.
As I said before, I downloaded the patch and it didn't resolve my problems, so I'm going to burn a cd of all my objects and families and uninstall/reinstall AGAIN. Last time I reinstalled only The Sims Original and Unleashed -- this time I'm going to try building back up from the original game all the way through Vacation to Unleashed (yeah, I'm a sims-geek, I have every single one of the games) and then install the patch again and see if that fixes things...
