Hack Descriptions
Ness:
OFB has already been rendered mostly harmless... I don't know about backwards compatibility of anything, but I would suggest you carefully RTFM and perhaps back up your game files and try it if you are really desperate. If things go too wonky, you can always remove it and restore the backups.
Shupinola:
I'm not that desperate to get it - it just might have been helpful. I have been adding quite a few hacks I didn't previously use as they cancelled out stuff I had been prepared to live with, such as people napping on sofas, pillow fights and hanging out, but I've noticed that since I added Two Jeff's anti-pranking hack that my Sims have fallen back on other social interactions that they now take to extremes. I have one family where I have invited three Townie teens to join the family and it was already a sizable family before that. Now I have adult Sims who prevent my teens from skill building by continuously wanting pillow fights and to play red hands or that really stupid 'Punch You - Punch Me' game. Macrotastics makes life so much easier, but I notice that as soon as one of the adults goes on a Pillow Fight/Red Hands/Punch You - Punch Me rampage, the teens find their way blocked by the grown-ups, drop out of their Macrotastics tasks and end up playing silly buggers with the adults instead. And with that large family, they all cluster around the same spot in the house, so no one can get past them to do other things.
Another reason I'm holding back on buying OFB is purely financial. I'm planing to move to LA in September to go to Film School for at least a year. Although the cost of living in LA is comparable to where I live now in the UK, I'm still going to need as much money as I can to see me through the year, so I'm cutting back on my regular purchases of games, CDs, DVDs and all that stuff.
Having said that, I might still buy OFB if it crops up cheap at Play.Com.
RainbowTigress:
The firemod is in the NL director's cut. I've been using it with NL with no problems. However, I also use Carrigon's safe cooking mod, which gets rid of cooking fires. They will still burn food sometimes, but it won't catch on fire. It seems like in Sims 2 cooking fires happen more, even with cooking skill maxed out. I don't think a highly skilled cook should be setting the kitchen on fire all the time.
J. M. Pescado:
The Fire Mod affects all fires, which may be helpful if you commit other incendiary acts, other than cooking. Most of my sims have switched to the ethereal diet.
LadyCrimsonSkye:
Is there any way this could be updated for the new EPs, or is there a thread already posted for this?
