mods that do and don't work

re: obnoxious A+ cheering - it's still going on as strong as ever in my game, even after they've popped their A+ cherry. Most annoying. Will install hack to nuke behaviour pronto.
As of NL, even before the patch but also with the patch installed, they will cheer on the very first day they get an A+ but not on any day after that. I can verify this because I have been running NL both before and after the patch without the nocheering hack and this has been the case. It doesn't bother me so much if I know they only do it once.

Yes, but there is no lightening in the sims ;D
I do turn my laptop off occasionally, but mostly I let it hibernate or go to standby. It stays pretty cool that way. But no constant internet access! That cable is unplugged the second I'm done online.
I do like you do on my desktop I send it to Hibernate it turns off the computer but lets you resume windows session right where you left off the night o before.. and my internet is totally shut down as soon as I am done with it :)

This is very strange - the cheering is definitely still going on (although the hack took care of that, no immediately discernable problems btw). I've only tested one house, though. I'm also being plagued by the A+ spam, but I'm not sure if NL was supposed to fix that or not - and I've got a teen who should be an overachiever, having been promoted to the top and gained his first A+, but no overachiever memory appears for him or anybody else in the family.
PS: The new version of the DMA COA also changes turn ons/offs for townies. :)

Another bug issie to report here I'm afraid.
I've found that EasyBreakup causes problems. What it does is spam the sim's action queue with a command to drink a Love Potion(assuming they have one or more in their Inventory). Prior to the patch, this would then be followed by DEATH! Yikes! Not an animated death, just a winking out of existence, and Live Mode greyed out if no other sims remained on the Lot.
Now interestingly, on MTS2 some other users reportd that this hack worked fine for them, but it's possible that these users had only been running the game and playing it with sims who hadn't yet bought any Love Potions. Who knows?
Moreover, I should stress that it may be a Vampire-related issue. The only sim I have who possesses any Love Potions is a vampire. Now, this repeated autonomous potion-drinking is a bug I encountered before - the CloserFamily-OptionPatch.package created by vagrant caused this swilling frenzy too... but only if/when this sim was a vampire. Using Eric's Life State Adjustor I could toggle between vamp and human, and I found that when human this problem did not ocurr.
It was a downer incidently, as the OptionalPatch was the only part of vagrant's hack that I actually wanted. I'm not particularly eager for my sims to be incestuous, quite frankly. But the Add-on gave an option for the Opposite - ie. to allow UNrelated sims to perform the "Family Kiss" interaction. I REALLY wanted that bit of it in my game, but with NL it causes this Love Potion spam on vampires. :(
Anyway, I THINK that EasyBreakup has those very same problems. I think it just affects vampires. Still, I'm glad I've got the patch. At least now it doesn't add killing them into the bargain.

I ended up with 8 "Made Dean's List" memories while using the nodeanspam hack (not sure if the A+ one works)
I just play tested with this, and even though I checked the code, which looks essentially unchanged on the surface, the nodeanspam hack did not prevent my sim from getting more than one memory. He has passed 3 semesters and he has 3 separate memories of getting on the dean's list.

Update on comm-skilling:
This works for dormies and townies, but not for downtownies. I guess this is reasonable to expect at this point. Where you *really* need comm-skilling is for dormies: if you buy instruments for a dorm and your dormies play them, at least they'll get to the point where they don't make your ears bleed. After playing a dorm through several students, there will be a lot of dormies with maxed creativity and they can really rake in the tips, which you collect.

I don't remember if the comm-skilling hack has been updated to include downtownies now... I recall Motoki posting something about it... but in any case, I have to agree and disagree. Yes... dormies need skills because the cacophony that passes for what they consider "music" when they play instruments is really awful... amusing at first, but then painfully, awfully annoying eventually. ::)
But! Downtownies, and townies who roam downtown as well, also need the skills. Especially when it comes to the karaoke! Now that caterwauling is even worse than the instrument playing. :P
