Damn alienware hack
nectere:
Well I downloaded a few castles and they almost all had it in there, and since I like to live dangerously and my favorite passtime is breaking things, I left them in. The castles themselves however did not have a computer somewhere on the lot, but I did end up with two versions of the alienware PC, the orginal one and a recolored one in many colors. I assumed at that point is the reason why it shows up twice, once for the orginal maxoid object and second for the hacked version to make recolors.
(assuming it wasnt recolorable when maxis published it, like the bunny bear)
Sandilou:
When I used to download from the Exchange I picked up three versions of that computer; the first was recolours, the second version had added options (can't remember any of them), the third version had death by electrocution as an option.
veilchen:
I guess that would make me paranoid as well. When I download a building, the only thing that retains its check mark is the "lotSegment for Upload" line. Everything else will not be installed, no matter how intriguing it may sound. I do get curious about it, but I have lost too many playing hours due to stupid bugs and general game-misbehavior.'

I totally agree, veilchen! I've never downloaded a lot from the official site, but the of the few I have d/l'd and installed, one at least made such a mess of my game I had to reinstall everything and about the only benefit was it forced me to sort out my downloads and get rid of anything suspicious! (I had five unidentified sims in supposedly unoccupied houses! Plus that darned computer, several cars, a teen woohoo hack which allowed adults to flirt with and woohoo teens including their own nieces and nephews!) Now I'm not only very careful what I download, but I any house I make for others to share is created in a hack-free neighbourhood! It's not my place to decide what other people should have in their game, and equally it's not theirs to decide what I should have in mine!
witch:
Yeah I've run across these alienware computers also. I believe one of them had a suicide option, I seem to recall downloading it soon after sims 2 came out. I ended up with a zillion versions and have cleaned all of them out.
The main hack I have a problem with, when I upload lots I've built, is the phonehack. If I furnish a house and forgetfully put in a phone, the lot includes the phonehack. I have just started a clean sims2 folder for building, with no hacks in the downloads folder. I also re-uploaded most of my lots. I don't think people should get hacks they don't know about and might not wish to play.
I wonder how many of the BBSers, who say they have no game bugs, have actually got Pescado's critical fixes without knowing it?
