1  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.

2  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.
3  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.
4  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?
5  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.
6  Simmers' Paradise / General Sims 2 Help / Get Abducted Enabled Return? on: June 16, 2007, 10:45:02 pm
I have all the EPs and SPs, the latest Seasons patch... and it's that latest seasons patch that I believe is the problem. (I do this often as I had been using the chance of getting preg mod, switched to the other to try and get it more frequently...)

Nobody is getting returned!  The game now even crashes when I try to run it without hacks and enter this particular lot (loads just fine otherwise).  I have each file separately (as I'd hoped this might fix the problem) of the first get abducted collection but as it stands now, just my servo is running around on this lot and my human sims are being held by the aliens for an extended probing.

For me, boolprop testingcheats isn't much help since all my sims around around to be force errored.  (Is there a way to do it without being able to actually see the sims?  I was wondering if the hack could be looked into or if a 'return home' at some AM time hack could be created to fix my unique problem.

(Just realized I may have shot myself in the proverbial foot by removing the chance of pregnancy mod for the always... going to check that out and will either delete or mention.)
7  Simmers' Paradise / General Sims 2 Help / Pass along quickly... on: May 05, 2007, 11:08:55 pm
I was wondering if this one was compatible with Seasons, just tried to use it (for the first time in quite a while) and I'd thought that after a pass along the option would no longer be available until more business rewards were available.
8  Simmers' Paradise / General Sims 2 Help / On Werewolves staying the same during daylight? on: January 18, 2007, 09:01:59 am
I was wondering if this was supposed to happen or not, I was under the impression they were supposed to change back to normal sim during the day.  I only have the couple of werewolf related mods from you Squige, and so I was wondering if using them all together might have caused this problem.

Many thanks!
9  Simmers' Paradise / General Sims 2 Help / No Relationship Decay EP4 Problem on: January 01, 2007, 07:42:04 pm
I had the alternative version that allows decay on Friday, but just today I finally had a chance to play after a while and started it up.  I lost a couple family friends and figured it was due to it being a Friday in game and downloaded the straight no decay period.

Haven't added any new hacks in quite a while that I know of, just some clothes and custom foods.

Problem is, when I reloaded, it still reported the error. Is it possibly an issue with bumping it up to the top of the load, perhaps by adding an underscore or something to make it load near the top?
