Those lists help a lot! Trying to wade through long threads were getting tedious. Except for 3 hacks, all of mine are Pescado's. I could even live without many of those. At least the college clock and clothing tool seem to work. I'm disappointed payatbox, autoyak, and macrotastics aren't working. These 5 hacks are necessities as far as I'm concerned. To be honest...I'm not sure I can play without autoyak. I might grind my teeth away to nothing if I have to call those 20 friends individually daily. Pulleeessseee fix this one first, Pescado!
Finally got NL yesterday, then had to go out for the next 6 hours grrrrrr, so I got to play it for a few hours last night. I really love all the new interactions (and my NPCs seem to fight a lot as well, lots of slappin'!). Thought I'd try out the new Pleasure Seeker aspiration and so far have found it quite hard to get her meter to go up, the wants my sim keeps getting are really low in points, anyone else found that? It may have been a glitch in the meter though, because her plum bob would be gold even though in the meter it was barely green. I found also that getting rid of the InSiminator was a good idea because while I had it in there my sim would display a similar problem to the jump bug, even though I could get her to do what I wanted after a few tries. Game play does seem to be faster, not load up though...too many downloads . So far very much enjoying the game, downtown is brilliant with a huge amount of new places to go (haven't been to half of them yet), plenty of new objects and clothes, and i love the half walls!
I finally got my NL! But before I could do anything with it, I had to finish the DSL installation that was started (but had to be postponed when the phone company messed up something because they didn't bother to check something with my ISP.) But now the DSL is up and running (YEAH!!!) and so I installed the game. I've been mostly trying out the building tools so far today. And I accidently tried out my favorite objects. (I pulled one of the object folders but not the one with my favorites in it.) I didn't lose a bit of those. (Next I'll throw in the bigger "favorite objects" file. I'm crossing my fingers on that one!) I love the thing where you can put the same Maxis house in again and again. Downtowns tend to have rows of townhouses, so that's what my Downtown experimental neighborhood now has. (I love the townhouse. It's much better laid out than the houses from University!) Some of the clothing styles I feel are appalling! Ick, ick, ick. As to the mods I want to put in as soon as I can, the Merola64 Multipainting is a critical one for me. Next is the daily gardener, but I saw one report that said it caused no problems and another which said it messed with the fortune teller. And payatbox they say may have problems with the extra goodies that come in the mail such as the coupons and love letters. I'll have to wait on that one. So, I'm off to do another check of the lists to see what's going on with bugs and mods! (Then I want to actually play my regular neighborhood instead of the "experimental" one I always use first!)
Update on the MTS threads. They've removed the two threads about hacks and replaced them with this one: http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=91094 And here is the varioussimmer NL support thread: http://www.variousimmers.net/vsimforum/forumdisplay.php?f=232
http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php? PHPSESSID=2452b1232ff8eb41a42543602ff29de4&topic=655.0 I think this is the "official" MATY list, kat. Dr. Boris compiled it. His name is usually included on all Pescado's hacks. I am still debating about whether to install Nightlife. No one seems to be terribly frustrated except with the tombstones. (I think I'm afraid I'll find my video card won't handle it.) Can I ask if moving my downloads and hacks to desktop is enough? Or do I need to do something extreme like sending them to my email?
Sorry not answering your question because I can't get NL yet ... but I had to share. My parts have shipped! My parts have shipped! My computer should get upgraded this weekend, and then NL here I come. Yahoo!
Grats sbw. Good to hear! I went without Uni until last month, and I HATED all the stuff out there that I couldn't DL because of it.
I know! I've already started to see some fun things that are just for NL. And, thanks! I can't wait. May have to juggle my schedule so I can stay home that morning ...
So you going to be putting Uni and Nightlife on there? Gee, your going to have so much fun once it's all in there, we probably wont see you on here for a bit! I want to upgrade my proccessor, the game doesn't run slow or anything (AMD 2500 if you wanted to know), but I think it's overall performance would be better if I did.
Crikey I feel totally out of date. Was NL out in the UK last week? I didn't see it on the shelves in my local Asda (Walmart). It was there today but I didn't buy cos I didn't wanna depress myself ... PC still in cartons ... PC desk still covered with piles of clothes, linens .... Erm, actually the fabric items are on my Yamaha keyboard which is on the desk that I can't get near because of piles of other clutter. On the plus side maybe the Pescado hacks will be fixed by then ... I need the phonehack or I'm not playing.
Hey, Mirelly! Haven't seen you in a while. I already have uni, Sylla, but I've been afraid to play it because I have a 600 MhZ "loaner" cpu and I don't think it can handle it. I'm getting a 1.4 GHz Intel processor, not terribly fast I guess if you're running a 2500 ... is that the same as 2.5 GHz? And you want to upgrade? Sorry. I'm new to the computer hardware thing. Please tell me that a 2500 isn't twice as fast as my upgrade or I may cry. Oh, well. As long as I can run NL I'm not going to complain.
Is there a date for when the Authorised Personnel Only alarm will be fixed? I accidentally enabled custom content.
Nightlife seems to be working well. *knock on wood* All of my previous downloads and most of my hacks are working. My comp seems to be handling everything well. The game automatically put my settings at low but I've bumped them all way up and it's playing smoothly. The game seems to load faster with NL. The hacks I've missed and will try tonight are "continuous paint", "macrotastics", and "autoyak". I didn't realize how necessary these have become. I'm going crazy trying to keep an eye on the painters, picking what friend to call next, and setting that freaking flamingo back up. I'd forgotten how tedious it is to click on everything to see what needs cleaned. I've overwatered and killed every flower bed on all my lots. I miss effortless micromanagment. :( This is one hack I seldom use, slim. I've killed scores of people with this thing accidently. In Strangetown the Grunt brothers each brought a friend home from school one afternoon. The general "forgot" to turn the deathfield off and zap...zap...zap. I managed to rid Strangetown of all the townie kids in one fell swoop. The Beaker's first kid age transitioned in the doorway and his first memory is of being saved from death. I forget to change the settings on this thing...it's downright dangerous! LOL! Good to see you back, Mirelly! I thought we were going to have to take a team over to see if you were buried under unpacked boxes or something.
I have NL in my hot little hands! We went out to dinner to celebrate our kitchen being painted (and because we couldn't use the gas stove until the paint dried LOL) and there was a CompUSA right next door! So I've got the EP, I've read the manual ... now I just have to wait for the friendly FedEx guy! And my friend to upgrade my 'puter of course. I can handle putting in RAM but a new motherboard is something else ... I should be up and running by Wednesday! And hopefully before. Yeah!!!
No, a 2500 doesn't run at 2.5GHz, it runs at 1.8GHz, hence me wanting a new one! Glad you finally got the game, hope everything runs like a dream for you once it is all up and running too.
