Title: Hacks/Mods-Which Version To Choose?
Post by: SimsDiva on May 29, 2008, 11:18:14 pm
I have Uni, NL, OFB, FFS, GL, and Celebrations.  I know that Celebrations was released after OFB (and indeed, after Pets and Seasons as well), and I'm just not sure what version I should choose to download where hacks/mods are concerned.  I've been updating things to the OFB versions from the NL versions I *had* been using, thinking this was the right thing to do.

When I tried out my game last night with some of new mods installed, I encountered a jump bug.  I'm not yet 100% certain it was caused by the mods.  I have a few hacked objects I need to investigate tonight (regarding which version they are), but I'm guessing at least a few of those are incompatible and need replacing, as well.

Anyway... given the setup I have... is using the OFB version of hacks/mods the proper choice?  I keep thinking I need to go by the latest expansion I have, and disregard the later-released stuff packs...

Stuff packs rarely infect the hacks you choose. IF I were you then I would go with the latest EP that I had installed in my game, and choose the hack that goes along with it. What hacks are you using?

I have the following hacked objects installed:

  • Insimenator v2.7b Sim Edition
  • Aspiration Preserver (SimWardrobe)
  • Automatic Bill Payer (SimWardrobe)
  • Love Painting (DJSSims)
  • Reservable Crib (Simlogical)
  • School Changer (Simlogical)
  • Smart Toddler Pic (Simsky)
  • Monique's Computer v9.0 (NL version, so I know I need to change that one out, at least.)


Along with the following from SimSlice (all with no ep requirements):

  • Celebrity Fan Zone Cone
  • Engagement Ring Box
  • Friendship Candles
  • Friendship Flask
  • Protest Zone Cone
  • Red Slice Energy Drink
  • Runaway Boots
  • Self Improvement Guide
  • Simoleon Flusher


As far as mods go, I have a LOT of Pescado's installed (way too many to list).  All are the OFB versions.  Plus two more from Squinge (as far as I know, both are for OFB):

  • Buy Maternity Clothes
  • Pregnancy Wear Any Outfit Ep 3


I'll probably end up having to take them all out and add them back one at a time, since HCDU isn't showing any conflicts.  Tedious.  I *knew* I should have been more patient, and added the mods a few at a time, darn it.
