Creativity Gain Enabled For Blogging & Diary / Requesting BV compatable version

[bellynn]

I was very excited to see your mod "Creativity Gain Enabled For Blogging & Diary". This is something I would really love to have in my game - my sims often write in their diaries and it would be nice to see them gain some creativity for it.

Would you be willing to consider making a version that is compatable with BV, and does not require FT or AL?
I have a Mac, and for Mac users the latest EP available is Bon Voyage. Mac users will likely never see any other EPs made available for us, so I would really appreciate if you would consider making this BV compatable.
I have all EPs up to and including BV. I have FFS and GL Stuff. I play TS2 on an Intel iMac running Leopard 10.5.4.

Thank you for considering this request.

Interesting idea.. I'm not a Mac person, but I do know a bit about them, just enough to operate one and do simple tasks but not more. And yeah, I heard that Mac people got shafted in the end with the slow process porting Sims 2 and its EPs/SPs over to Mac.

Well, can you use any of the mods from this site for BV? I am wondering..

And umm, I think I can try to get one done. I don't know if Mr Squinge has BV, but I do. If he wants to do one, that's fine. I just don't know enough about mods and Mac to say anything more. :/

LOL, that's about as much as I know about PC's

:nods: We did. Although from what I heard, it was less about the slow porting process and more about EA holding out for more and more money.
That said, I'm not a real fan of Aspyr's porting or their (lack of) customer support, but ... since it's Aspyr or no Sims, *sighs* I live with it.

Yes, but I don't know if either was specifically made for BV - one is that painting that's a "Date and Wealth Counter" and the other is "Easier Break Up - Less Relationship Change". They both seem to work fine for me.

Wow, that would be wonderful! Thanks in advance!

But I will let him, Mr Squinge, have a say first to see if this mod is backwards compatible because some mods are backwards compatible with previous EPs. So let him verify first and let us know before one of us do anything.

You can't blog in BV that came with FT.

*Points to the Diary part*

Think that one is backwards compatible? I think she/he was primarily asking for a BV version of this mod request - the diary exists in base and up. I think that might be what she/he wanted, Mr Squinge.

This mod is in testing.

[bellynn]

Chaavik was right, I was interested in the diary part. Sorry I wasn't more clear about that.
And thank you both for your help.

[Chaavik]

Thought you were interested in the diary part of the request.

The mod did encounter a problem in testing, but it should be fixed and tested again soon. Check back again in a little while (a day or two) for further updates.

[bellynn]

Thanks, I'll be looking forward to it
