The 'intProp maxNumOfVisitingSims[number]' cheat is not working
witch:
Just double check the file is named correctly. Text files usually put .txt on the end of files. If your userstartup.cheat is called userstartup.cheat.txt it won't work. You need to turn on the option in Windoze Explorer to see the file extensions. Don't know how to do that in Vista.
In XP it's under Tools/Folder Options/View/Hide extensions for known file types. Take the tick OFF that option.
Zazazu:
Or you can just use the attached as a guide. You'll want to tweak it to your needs. Put it in the Config subfolder and then open and edit, Save, don't Save As.
Would have attached earlier, but ..ya know... work.

If you are lazy like me you could try the Throw Massive Parties hack from Sims Wardrobe. So far it seems to play nicely with BV, and I've had as many as 20 sims on a lot without any problems. Supposedly it allows up to 250 visitors to your party, but my poor sims don't have enough friends to test that possibility :o.

That would be the step that I missed. I had it turned off on my dead computer, but I completely forgot about it on this new one. That was pretty dense of me.
I downloaded your start-up to see if that was truly all that was wrong. Being lazy (or frustrated), I used yours, Zazazu. It has what I had, except that I always have controlPets on. I don't mess around with their own decisions much (free will - all the way), but I don't like not having the possibility of controlling all my simmies.
Thanks, now I have almost everything back, except a few things from obscure websites that have since bit the dust and are nowhere to be found in the graveyard. I have been playing since 2004, so that was not something that surprised me.
DrKeith:
I just thanked a poster for putting a link to a thread elsewhere on this site, and I got a bleeting sheep as thank you to my thank you! Haha.
Thanks, again, for all the help and trouble, guys. Turns out my problem was silly and very random. I typed in the teach as following:
intProp maxNumOfVisitingSims[8]
as the cheat is indicated as such:
intProp maxNumOfVisitingSims[number]
The poster I set out to thank, posted a link that contained a thread which shows the exact wording of the cheat:
intProp maxNumOfVisitingSims 8
No spaces before the you're supposed to input the number, no explanation that the brackets are not necessary. Very silly. I swore I played around with this in the past to see if the way I input the cheat is faulty, but I couldn't figure it out. Well, I had a birthday party and all of the invited Sims pitched up. Yay!
Anyway, maybe someone else have erred in the same way and they will also be helped.
