Thank You both, it was a mod named BeginVisitingAutoGreet_Seasons, removed that hack and visitors would not go in the house anymore. They would walkby and stand on the sidewalk then leave.

Thank You.

After installing BV,(We have all exp and stuff packs) visitors flock to the lot, all playables, townies, downtownies, strays, etc. There are Sims and animals constantly on the lot uninvited.
They no longer wait outside to be greeted, they all just walk right into the house and proceed like they live there or were invited. They sit and watch tv, join meals, use bathrooms, etc. They no longer just walkby either, all go directly to the door, front or back.

The only way found to stop this was to get TwoJeffs visitor controller or JMP Security system and ban all. The only hacks in game are those that the creators have said are BV okay. The hack conflict found no conflicts either.

Does anyone elses's do this please? Can it be stopped?

In case needed, this is all Maxis neighborhoods and Sims because BV corrupted my own neighborhoods and Sims so began again with a fresh install.

Thank You for any replies.

My daughter and I have have all the expansions and stuff packs on our computers, We have alot of the wonderful hacks and mods to make gameplay better, I have 1.99 GB of downloads, she has more because she collects clothes and hair lol. To add, we also have all patches and updates.

Anyhow, as we always do when a game is to be delivered, when BV said out for delivery, we copied and pasted our complete My Documents Sims 2 folder to another folder on our hard drives, just in case. I removed the downloads folder, CC hacks and all. Then we install.

We always leave in the neighborhoods though, maybe with this exp that is what went wrong.

I have played more than her, so will post what mine has done. I played with no downloads folder at all. These are either Sims I created in CAS and also one clone from Strangetown who is in my own created neighborhood, and I usually only play with houses I build myself from house plans.

Anyhow, this first family is jumpers, jumping out of actions, for one the options were also missing when clicked on, could only do meditate and yoga, moved her into another lot and that resolved but she lost her 6 wants and 2 locks, became 3 wants with 1 lock and her wants were child wants even though she was an adult college graduate, odd, did stop jumping though. The brother that had moved out before BV did not lose his wants, locks or graduate status.
Her older sister who is still at the family lot is odd, cannot describe it really but she is not the way she was before BV.

Then there is Ajay Loner, the clone from Strangetown who was cloned and rebuilt in CAS, moved into this my created neighborhood, my house, all seemed well. Had him be in love with townie Marisa Bendett, she moved in. I clicked him to propose and it dropped out of queue, then again, so she engaged him. Then click him to kiss romantic, dropped out of queue but she did him, hmmmmm. So they go on vacation to the Asain One. Anyhow, he gets their room and talks to the clerk and click on bed to relax. He gets up when she gets to bed, and again. So get her in first then he will, click on him to makeout with her, falls out of queue, but she can to him, hmmmmmm. Anyways the Flaming Dragon had lots of roaches so they came home since all they wanted to do was cry and stomp. In the neighborhood, he still cannot do anything to her romantically, she has to to him.

In fact, anyone that moves to a new lot loses all 6 wants and 2 locks and even locked wants reroll, tried other Sims, this never happened before when moving, especially losing their graduate status, once you graduated you were always a graduate, however they do have the memories intact about graduating, they just no longer have the extra wants or the graduate icon by their age bar.

Another thing, everyone is angry, they are all arguing with each other, this was a loving family always hugging and kissing but every one is different. Their personality bars did not change but their personalities did if you know what I mean.

So what to do? Not even gonna try messing up the other Sims, so, copied and pasted that entire neighborhoods folder, writing to disc and instead playing Maxis neighborhoods that I reinstalled, Played the Goth family yesterday and not one glitch anywhere so added back some of the newly updated hacks and everything is still okay. BV seems to have borked our lots and Sims, but that is okay, this kinda thing has happened many times before, we just start over. No whining, lol. My daughter is deciding what to do with her game, she has not played since last Wednesday.

Just wanted you all to know that we have had problems too with no CC or hacks in the game. Have not been on vacation yet with Mortimer and Dina but the honeymoon is booked. The other Sims vacationed at the Asian and the Beach, the Asian is incredibly slower and lagging than the beach.

Thank You both so much about the snow. We have pretty good systems and haven't had much slowdown, hopefully it will remain lol.

How do you all get enough snow to play in please? We have been playing it since UPS delivered it on the 28th and we have been through every season, not speeded up, actual game speed and all we get is a dusting of snow. No accumulation at all. It is now Spring and the pond is still frozen too, is that normal?

All of our hacks and mods are removed until creators update them so it can't be a conflict on those.

How do you get more snow to play in please?

This is a wonderful mod, they do not go to bed until we say so lol.

Edit: Solution, Installed your Motive Protect Hacked Painting New Version(10/07/06), it is wonderful also.
Thank You for everything you create.

Thank You for all the great things you create, have alot of your hacks in our game.

Tested and got this:
*** POSSIBLE CONFLICT DETECTED ***
Yup, conflict.

Does this conflict with the autonomous actions in the Autonomous Casual Romance? You can set them to auto use beds for woohoo, will this stop that or vice versa?

Thank You again Jase. Saving this thread.

Have searched MTS2, MATY and here and located alot of no autonomous hacks but not book related. Except don't read to toddlers which does not work in my game since we installed Family Fun then Glamour Life, they read to them alot no matter which version is used.

Gonna request if this can be made. Thank You so much.

Thank You so much for the quick replies.

Is there a hack for this so that all Sims would not use any bookcase without being selected to?
A global hack might be better.

Ah, Thank You, am gonna try a test copy of a bookcase and make sure it works okay before doing them all.

Another question please, if you have a bookcase that someone created but it isn't actually a bookcase because there are no actions to it and it has sculpture or something like that for the semi global. How would you add the interactions to it? Is it okay to do that to someones creation if it is only for your own game?

How would the interactions be removed from a bookcase please?

For a bookcase you get the actions of read, the skills to study, etc.
Have the SimWardrobe Sims 2 categorizer and just removing the skills and satisfy wants from the object does not remove the interactions.

In SimPe would you remove the pie menu functions so nothing is there, and if so what would the filename and format be changed to please? For other objects it is all blank with a different format number.

Would they be removed in the semi globals by changing it from bookcase globals to wall hanging globals?

Would pie menu strings or object functions be changed, and if so to what please?

Would it be easier to clone the object and remove them from there? Have recolored but not cloned, so would need a tutorial on cloning.

Thank You for any replies.
