Title: Do-It-Yourself Channel
Post by: _monique_ on December 15, 2006, 03:43:05 am
This is a global hack for television that will replace "The Yummy Channel" to "Do-It-Yourself Channel". This hack allows you to learn all skills at the same time, the rate of skilling is the same as in cooking of The Yummy Channel. The video is the same as in The Yummy Channel, if you want to change the video there is a tutorial at MTS2 that would allow you to do this. You can follow and get an idea from this tutorial by Eric:

I've had this forever, and I still love it, because it allows my sims to have fun and learn how to fix the toilet! LOL Thank you for such an awesome mod.

Thankyou for this! I have a question about how to save it.  I know we don't save this under downloads, I forgot how to save the tv channels.:dontknow:

If you are going to add a video, put that in:
My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Movies\Broadcast\TvFood

If you want to replace The Yummy Channel video:
Program Files\EA GAMES\The Sims 2\TSData\Res\Movies\Broadcast\TvFood

I think the video should be in 128x128, 15fps and avi format.

And my hack should be in your Downloads folder.:)

thanks everyone...

Hmm, this sounds like something that could be rather useful. One question, and I apologize if it's already been asked. Is it compatable with all sims, or just certain ages? (Adults, Teens, Kids)?

I am assuming, but since they all skill from watching the yummy channel, then children to elder should be able to profit from this.

Great mod! Will test later. Thanks.:D

Thanks Monique for creating great mods with us. This one is just so wonderful to be able to gain all skills and have them watch tv.

I've been using this in Seasons -- it's one of my favorite hacks -- and it works just fine.

Well bummer, I've reinstalled it twice, and it still doesn't work for me... :sign6: It's reverted back to the "yummy channel".

***Update, well I'm not sure what I've done differently, but it's working fine for me now!

I've had this hack forever, (almost since the start of my game)-and it is just so wonderful. Only problem is when the Simmies decide they're not going to watch it, because they're bored; hard to make them do something when they're not "motivated" to do it.
Great hack, wonderful addition to the game.

Thank You Monique!!
One of my most favorite!! (along with some NO Autonomous...whichever..) Squinge made a "no auto. channel change" (when I directed the Sim to switch to your DIY channel, turn off TV,turn back on, it would automatically be on DIY, and no auto. change of channels)  but since he is no longer updating let alone creating , could you possibly make a simmilar hack
, it would be much appreciated!! Thanks again and Aloha from Hawaii!!

Gotta say, Monique, this is my absolute favorite mod!  I have used this forever.  It has worked for me in every one of the expansion packs, but it is not showing up in Freetime.  I googled so I could redownload and try again.  I hope it works!  (crossing fingers)

Thanks for a GREAT mod!

Is this one working with AL? I know it says ALL but wanted to check to see if it is okay to use.
