Always appreciate new outfits for the teens.  They miss out on a lot without the help of the creators.  Great work!
2  Simmers' Paradise / General Sims 2 Help / BV Hammock Lockout on: February 28, 2008, 10:06:14 pm
Just installed FreeTime.  Removed hacks, clean slate on neighborhoods, and installed the BV patch.

The thing is, all I have now are custom objects/clothes/hair.  No hacks or mods that I'm aware of (I'm a meticulous filer).

The thing is, I can't seem to find the culprit on the freezing of my hammocks!

BV was way too broken for my tastes (computers that don't respect the Uni or OFB install please!), and really didn't add all that much so I allowed myself be distracted with other games.

Thing is, this little BV item is still hampering my enjoyment of FreeTime, and from looking at FreeTime I know I want to play again.

I ran boolprop testingcheatsenabled true to get the error log on the object.  It happens for both hammocks, only, of course, when custom content is enabled.  I'm rather desperate to get it working though, I'd rather not start all over on my downloads, but that will be my next step.  Just getting my favorites.

Any advise on how to find the culprit with this file would be appreciated.

Am I right that the mesh is pay?  Quite unfortunate, I was looking forward to using this masterful Leeloo.

I really appreciate this one.  A theme full outfit grouping with little to no mesh needs.

Very cool.  Alien option at all?
6  Simmers' Paradise / General Sims 2 Help / Hammock Freezes Game on: September 30, 2007, 11:45:12 am
You know, my sims are sticking too (almost hijacked another sticking thread)... but it seems to be something related to the hammocks.  Tested with removing the one hammock related hack I have (teen woohoo has been updated, even if insim hasn't yet) and the problem persisted.

If anybody better at code than I (okay, that means everybody) might interpret this little bit, I'd appreciate it.  I have the error report attached.  The lot just freezes unless I remove the hammock, a very strange procedure.  Not a problem on home lots, but I'm afraid to go to comm lots due to this fact since I may not be able to delete those hammocks as easily.
7  Simmers' Paradise / General Sims 2 Help / Mementos-- Pls tell me if you can help me fix this problem! on: September 22, 2007, 10:51:45 am
Just taught slap dance to my sims and the memento isn't filling.  Same goes with eating the local meals.  Their actual memories say that they've learned slap dance, just nothing in the vacation mementos pops up?
8  Simmers' Paradise / General Sims 2 Help / Jump bugs... on: September 22, 2007, 10:48:33 am
Well, so far, now that my game finally works (BV corrupted everything pre-BV... Sad ) I'm getting some strange jump bugs.

Took the Oldies on vacation and they can't seem to get any relationship up from either woohooing in the Suana or the local gestures.

Thought if somebody saw my error reports they'd be able to tell me if it was the game or if I borked it somehow with a hack (I've tried to remove all animation hacks).

Any help would be appreciated, I'd like to either report these to Maxis or remove the offending hacks and report the problem to the creator.
9  Simmers' Paradise / General Sims 2 Help / BV Vacation Lots not loading... on: September 11, 2007, 07:54:04 pm
Here's an interesting factor... now my vacation lots load (with much thanks to ancienthighway on where to look and how to get through the testing) but now I'm having multiple animation jumps and errors, enough errors that my saves become corrupt after playing on vacation lots.

I'm currently working with EA on this, and only using safe hacks (from what the diff tool says are safe) so now I'm really clueless as to why I can't play the vacation lots safely.

I also removed all hacks that have anything to do with animations or the modifying of them such as the ones at MATY and the game still has a tendency to error out (testingcheatsenabled) on female sims who try to check in (or do any other animations, like the local greetings.)

Well, I keep trying to generate a hack diff report (followed those instructions over at MATY) and it errors out.  Would it be possible to run a hack diff from this file?

Also deleted the other random number hacks and made sure that my other stuff was updated.  It's probably an abandoned mod at this point that's causing it, be nice to get to the bottom of it.

Please let me know if I need to generate a different file somehow, mine kept cracking, not sure if it's because I have some stuff that perhaps isn't in the file at MATY or what (like Holiday Stuff).

Wow.  Some files that I didn't even know what they were were labeled hacks (you know, the ones with random lettered/numbered ones were especially strange to find).

I just included the hacks/mods folder this time rather than everything now that I've sorted the hacks.

ummm...Let's do this again, but first download Clean Installer or Delphy's Download Organizer and organize your files.  Either of those programs will sort your files by "Type", that is, clothing, recolors, walls, etc.  Make some folders with those Type names, and fill them up.  In Clean Installer, there will be one "Type" that has no name.  Those would be mods.

After you got your folders organized, run modlist again.  I might be able to find something then Cheesy

:lol:  I'm glad to know that clean installer has the same functions, Delphy's download organizer just doesn't work for me (not sure why, never has launched after the initial startup.)

I'll do that and repost, many many thanks, as the BV comm lots still aren't loading, and I've deleted everything I can think of as being the cause.

ETA: Okay, so the blank ones are hacks, what are the pink ones or red ones?  (Using Clean Installer)

Well... wow...

Erm... this list is embarrassingly long.

Also, I do run SimWardrobe's conflict detector utility upon every download, so I know it's something I have that's simply conflicting with BV, I just am not sure what...

Or am I just stupidly maxed out on downloaded files? I try to clean house every once and a while (delete the older clothes that I know I don't use, etc.)

Just going nuts that I can't use both BV and the hacks that I'm so used to, the game isn't the same without them, and my guesswork so far has been fruitless.
14  Simmers' Paradise / General Sims 2 Help / BV Vacation Lots not loading... on: September 07, 2007, 01:00:57 am
I know it's hack related, it has to be, but I'm just not sure which one, and I've check most of my hacks for compatibility to find that they are up-to-date and removed those that are questionable (thanks to the Squinge post over at inteen).

The check in bug was found here, and removing that hack should help when I manage to get to the lot, but I was wondering what else might be keeping me from loading the lots without having to do a downloads search that would be rather extensive and time-consuming.

I've tried to understand the hack diff tool to no avail, but I really can't stand the thought of going through all the hacks yet again... The ones that dealt with community lots I removed (sleeping at them, for instance), what else would possibly be a culprit?
15  Simmers' Paradise / General Sims 2 Help / Squinge's Mods: What's Safe for BV? on: September 06, 2007, 06:26:48 pm
I know Squinge is officially not here anymore, and neither are his hacks, but that doesn't mean a lot of us don't still have them installed on our computers and would like to enjoy their benefits until replacements are found.

To that end, please post here what hacks you've removed in an effort to make your game less buggy (BV vacation destinations aren't loading in my game currently, and given I primarily used Squinge's stuff...)

Some of these hacks may not have been Squinge's, if you know where they came from, do please correct me so I can update the list.

Thus far I've removed:
OFB_AllShopsSleeping (expected a conflict with the new hotels, not confirmed)
OFB_ShowerBath (for the same reason)
All of his LTW hacks (you know, the ones that made new ones according to the Uni careers and the one to give LTWs no matter the aspiration, just because he updated them for every EP for some reason and didn't want to risk it.)
youngadultshoppers (also since it deals with community lots, I put this one elsewhere.)

I've also noticed that:
Neverfailplasticsurgery doesn't work anymore.

That's all I've found for now.  I'll subscribe to the thread and keep the updates of what needs to be tossed going.
