Squinge's Mods: What's Safe for BV?

[flameflash]

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.

This post has a list of Squinges mod I use.  They've been run through the hackdiff tool to see what may have been changed with the BV release.  And because I was in a good mood, when Sleepycat asked me to check a couple, I checked those too

Poor baby!  I'll keep you posted on when I might be in a good mood again, if I'm in a good enough mood to remember.

The following have merely had header updates (and do not need to change):
 
 
AnyLTWforallaspirations.package: may require possible updates:

    B 0x7F739728 0x1185 CT - Test - Lifetime Want - Woohoo

JumponBedLess.package: may require possible updates:

    B 0x7F4437F2 0x202C Interaction - Jump On Bed - TEST

    B 0x7F4437F2 0x206C Jump on Bed - Set Motives

noautonomouscomputer.package: may require possible updates:

    B 0x7F441294 0x2006 Interaction - Chat - TEST

tuckinanyone.package: may require possible updates:

    B 0x7F4437F2 0x209E Interaction - Tuck In - TEST

[ancienthighway]

Those may or may not need updated.  Sorry best I can tell you.  

Tuck In and Jump on Bed Less may be borked on just the new hotel beds, or on all of them.  

Lifetime Want - Woohoo will be effected by the new BV woohoo spots, but may be ok.  

No clue about the computer thing though.

Ancient, I admit I am not so PC savyy but I learn quickly. Now that I installed BV (without a Vista hitch, I may add...have not played yet so I will be punished for being so smug). My question is how do I get the hackdiff to work? I keep clicking on the app; I see a flash but no text appears. What am I doing wrong? Please help! I would like to see what of Squinge's mods I have that are clean for BV that have not been covered so far.

AmberDice has posted easy to understand instructions on using hackdiff at MATY.

As far as Squinge's mods, Miss Doh has already run 175 of them through hackdiff.

So far I found that Merola is functioning; the mind control mirror, the multi-painting and the dressers. You still can't dress in outerwear on the dressers but that's okay. Carrigon's debug buy mode still works on all others dressers. Merola is a necessity while we wait for the InSim to be updated.

Hunter's mirror and shower have all of their options. I have not used them yet.

PS: I know this info does not belong with Squinge's mods but they are hacks so I figured I would give the heads up.

Where can I find Squinge's hacks? Did they move to another page or something? Because his were my favorite..

Squinge's hacks can be found at the Sims2 Graveyard:

I'm using his pregnancywearall hack and have taken two pregnant women on vacations with them. They were at different stages of their pregnancies and I had no issues whatsoever, other than they were whiney and slept a lot. I know someone said that it isn't compatible, but I've had no issues. I played the game for four (human) days before adding any hacks into the game. There have been no issues so far with any of them. *knocks on wood*

This thread is to post about mods that are safe or not to use with BV.  

It is NOT to request if some of them will be updated.

If you have a mod you would like to be updated, please post in the mod request section.  It does not mean it will be updated, but modder will consider it.
