Improved Anti-Humble: WANT/DO NOT WANT

<< < (8/9) > >>

Amanita:
I guess it is borked now... I'm not too attached to it anyway, since it's only one of the defaults.  Just seems like it must have something to do with one of the hacks, if not this specific one, since I made the uni neighbourhood only a couple of days ago.

I've been thinking what might have happened is that when I saved, one of the sims was currently playing the Sims3 game - could that game token or whatever 'disappearing' unexpectedly while in use cause the symptoms I mentioned?

jsalemi:
Is it possible one of the sims was talking on a cell phone when you saved and quit?  That's a well-known way to bork a lot.

Amanita:
I had only one playable sim in the dorm and the cell phone thing is something I'm aware of.  I'm trying for the first time to play in even rotation and keep the lots roughly synched so I've been trying to be careful to save at 'safe' times, and also particularly since I was expecting to come and get the DC, which I know usually resets everything... but using a computer is not something I would have been being careful about, although I guess I will in future!

J. M. Pescado:
I would suggest not installing hacks that modify something you are saved in the middle of using, as this can cause the code to go straight to lalaland and do godknowswhat.

Amanita:
Fair enough  ;)

I'll update my mental notes as to what constitutes a 'safe' state to save in.  I guess everyone in the household idling is the best bet, although may be tedious to orchestrate once per Sim week.  My previous play style involved staying with one family until I got tired of them or had some sort of bright idea, and there was therefore a lot less saving and exiting involved.

One final question, if I may?  The RTFM implies that the hack will continue to have an effect even after it is removed - does that affect just the appearance of Mr. Humble, or also the existence of the L&P?  i.e. in other households that I have played before I put in the hack but not since.
