University installation advice?
veilchen:
Also, watch out for lots. Older lots have the habit of crashing the game to desktop, and other assorted weirdness. If you have older lots placed in the neighborhoods, don't move any sims into them. Go into them first in the buy/build mode. If you can't get in, your only option is to get rid of the lot.
ElviraGoth:
You may also want to make sure there are no service people on your lots, like maids, nannies, or gardeners. They will think they live there and you'll have to delete them with moveobjects. Also, I had a problem with any lot that I had last saved after paying the Thurs. bills. Evidently, the game didn't recognize that the bills had been paid, and since no bills show up again until the next Tues., the repo man showed up at those lots. So you may want to have each household saved on the day before bills come (Mon. or Wed.).
miramis:
The FFS Lot Debugger has an option to 'kill stuck bills', not sure if it applies to that particular problem or not. If you're going for a clean install though the problem with the bills & Repoman shouldn't crop up. That's been my experience in custom 'hoods anyway. Can't speak for the Maxis neighbourhoods in this case.
Brynne:
You actually have an advantage over those of us who installed Uni when it first came out, since JM and TwoJeffs have solved many of the problems. We just had to put up with a seriously bugged game back then.
Baddmark:
Yep, make sure everyone is home before saving. I tend to save each household at night, when everyone is asleep and no actions are queued (and after about 2am just incase the burglar is making his/her rounds).
After installing Uni, the sims should be stood at the side of their beds with plenty of green bars ready for fun and games.
The stuck bills bug might hit regardless of which day you save, you'll probably get a clue if the postie walks past the box without even stopping. Like said above, the ffslotdebugger will sort that out.
I'm another that waits a while before buying games - most of the bugs are identified and patched, players have had time to see if a game has lived up to the hype, and the price is usually a fraction of what it was when released. ;D
Although I did buy Simcity4 and Sims2 full price and before I even had a computer to run them... Yeah, don't listen to me I'm an addict.
