Nightlife: Censor Blur won't die!!!
Zeljka:
The censor is pretty stupid anyway,
I seem to recall it blurring Sims on toilets... but why? It's not like they take their pants off to go. Didn't the censor on the toddlers and babies cover almost the entire child?
Kristalrose:
Here modders, is what Maxiod Tom said on The Sims 2 Community Forums. It goes over my head. so, without making this a big discussion in Jack Thompson and Politics and Perverts and whatever, can someone just explain to me the ignorant one what he's talking about, and it it's possible to fix this?
How about I post what I said and people can judge for themselves:
First post:
"A word of warning:
The two trees modified (669 and 670) in this hack have been changed in Nightlife to add more functionality (for Turn Ons/Offs). If any users decide to use this hack, the functionality for sims being turned on/off by a sim in a certain category of clothing (formal/swim/underwear/etc.) may not work--a bug which will probably later be blamed on Maxis, I'm sure.
This is because any hacks will override what shipped with the game.
Overriding global trees/functions may cause problems for future expansion packs. I strongly urge modders to take a look at what has changed in Nightlife (and for future expansion packs) in terms of global functions and what not--otherwise users may encounter problems with incompatible hacks and may not know the source of it all.
Things may *appear* to work within the limited context of the hack, but undoubtedly something Maxis added for new features or fixes will get lost in the shuffle."
dizzy:
Well, I was about to make some improvements that would have rendered what MaxoidTom said obsolete, but Delphy in his infinite wisdom decided to lock my thread. I'm so disgusted by all the ranting people were doing that I can't even blame Delphy for doing it. >:(
RainbowTigress:
I just found this bit of news at snootysims.com:

Censor cheat removed in Nightlife - Monday September 12
It is now confirmed by many that Maxis has removed the censor cheat (to remove the blur when they step in a bath) from Nightlife. Most likely because of the Jack Thompson case. Know that the modding community is aware of it and hopefully they can come up with a new patch soon.
Darn. I liked the cheat because it didn't have to modify the game files so you couldn't install patches, and theoretically, it would have been compatible with any future EPs. But who would have guessed this would happen and they would take it out altogether? I see no other reason for them to do this than because of that stupid Jack Thompson. Makes me wonder what else they changed or disabled?
vecki:
Meh. I'm not especially fussed. I guess it was only to be expected, but I usually keep the blur on anyways. The one time I removed the blur it looked so strange I had to put it back on!
