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.
This precisely the point: Blurring sims on the toilet is done precisely *BECAUSE* they don't and can't, and the blurring out attempts to cover up this and leave that part to your imagination because sims...well...can't.

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."
This is basically meaningless, and simply states that global override hacks will have to be checked and updated at every expansion pack. Trivial and obvious, really. Don't use hacks for versions of the game they weren't intended for. Duh.

I understand - animations, different clothing styles etc.. and have no desire to see them doing so anyway.
My point simply being that because they don't, the blur is even more ridiculous.

Ah, as one person who invoked the, er, ranting, in the MTS2 thread, I should probably apologize.
It was wrong for me to offer $50 to someone who shoots Jack Thompson. That price is far below market value for that kind of contract. I hoped someone would take it on as a personal project. :P
And, yes, I'm not really serious. Maybe I shouldn't assume John/Jane Q. Simsfan will find assassination-related humor entertaining.

Was that a jab at those of us who have been bitching nonstop on the forums about a Uni patch? That's sweet, Tom... really sweet.
Actually, it is because we are blamed for practically everything. Then again, it is probably all my fault.

Glad I could help. Of course the context of the thread was that people were attempting to use a hack made for the base game or Uni in NL--just trying to point out the obvious, but what do I know?
