A few questions...

[Ladyhawke976]

Since I just downloaded the Seasons Expansion Pack, I thought this might be a good place to ask these questions. (I had put them on the introduction board. My bad.)



1. I recently purchased the Seasons expansion pack and was excited to see the new option for putting away leftovers. However, the book says that if I want to eat these at a later time, I simply click on the refrigerator and select 'Get Leftovers'. However, this option has yet to be available to me. I can put them away, but can never seem to retrieve them. Would anyone know why?

2. I have a few houses that I downloaded from the internet. I love the looks and the layouts of them, but they usually come on small lots. With Seasons I like to garden but the lot leaves me little to no room. Is there a hack or a way to expand the lots without moving my family or the homes?

3. Like most of you, discipline is an issue in my game, lol. My kids can pretty much do whatever they want (Play in the toilet, jump on beds, fight, belch at the table or sneak out at night) with no repercussions. It kind of makes me insane that my sims will lecture an infant for a dirty diaper - something which an infant can not control - but not pull away a toddler who is playing in the toilet bowl or correct my childs table manners. So, the lecture hack that I downloaded from this sight was something. However, I noticed that while it was installed I couldn't do certain things without getting an error message. I tried speaking with a garden club associate or adopting a child and everytime it would throw up an error so that I had to reset. It continued until I removed the hack from my system. Would anyone know why I'm having this problem?

If it helps in any way to know, I have all the expansions downloaded.

I appreciate any input.

Thanks!

ladyhawke - it is normal that major changes take place in the game's coding when an expansion pack is released, so there is a lag time as hack masters learn the changed code, then find ways to make it all work again.

as for changing the size of lots, none that I trust.  there is a lot expander on MTS2 but it is an abandonned bit of software and has no real support since Nightlife & Open for Business.  I don't know if it is even safe to use in a Seasons game because of the wode changes to the lots to make them have seasonal changes and gardens.

On your first question regarding the leftovers, are you by chance using a custom fridge?  If so, the code on it may need to be updated before you can use it correctly with Seasons.  

Not sure what it would be if you're not using a custom fridge.

The Lot Expander program at MTS2 does not work from Pets on up. If you really like the house layout, and I have that problem too, what I did was to map the house out on a piece of graph paper, and then just rebuilt it on the lot size I wanted. As far as I know this is the only way to get around that.

As for the hack, is it the updated one for EP5, or an older one?
Squinge has a list of updated hacks for Season's, just check the list.

to combat the lecturing for a dirty nappy you need to go to MATY and download a hack called antibabylecture

If you are using Squinge lecture any sim mod, it needed to be updated for the EP5.  You should get this updated version.
