So what's been fixed in NL
linolino:
yes, listen to JM, he knows what he's saying... i'm not.
Tis is for HatedMaxoid:
Here some stuff to consider about NightLife:
The manage groups option on the phones has some bugs, well not exactly bugs, but it is missing some things:
(1) There is NO option to rename a group. So if you want to rename a group you have to delete it and re-add the sims that were part of it, wich can be a pain since
(2) There is NO option to sort the sims by relationship level, only by name.
Oh and (3) It's also a pain that we have to wait for the selected sim to go over the phone and dial, for the manage group dialog box to pop up. Since it's not a real action, like calling someone, i think this action should happen instantly as you click on it.

Piano - as designed
Wait a second... Am I reading this incorrectly? The Piano is SUPPOSED to stop being Fun after it's been on a lot for 24 hours? So, I guess that professional pianists don't enjoy their work at all then, eh?
If I'm just being mentally retarded, let me know. :-p it wouldn't be the first time.
That's gotta be absurd: I've looked at *WHY* the piano stops being fun, and the reason it happens can only be construed as a bug: The code for the Piano's main routines is the same as from pre-Uni, but the piano's attributes have been entirely redone, and what was formerly a semi-attribute has been dumped into regular attributes....which are being stomped by the old main and overwritten with garbage values as a result. Clearly a bug.
That's what they told me, but I can certainly ask again.

How about including the downloadables objects into the game as "official objects"
And also update the Alienware computer so it works with the new uni functions
Unfortunately the Alienware computer was created after we put some computer functionality in semiglobals for Uni (at least that's I remember being told). I'm not sure if there are any plans to update the Alienware computer to bring it up to date with the Uni code.
Downloadables objects being included in what? An expansion pack?

These are functionality changes, not really bugs--a change like this would probably not go into the NL patch, but may be considered expanded features included in a future expansion pack (like the new Plan Outfit clothing dialog was for Nightlife). I would suggest you post on the official BBS where the designers roam and cross your fingers your post doesn't get lost in the noise.

Piano - as designed
Maxoid, please explain the thinking behind this? Why is practicing the piano no longer fun after 24 hours? And suddenly the only 'fun' way to play piano is to perform (awfully in the lower creativity levels) and then whine when nobody tips you at home?
EDIT: has this already been answered and I've missed it?
