I have the phone hack in now and it works fine.
So does the pay at the box. testing other as I go through.
All my objects and meshes show fine, just a couple of flashing blue items until I reselect the texture (it was still there)
Its going well so far. ;D

It is a "safe mode" so that Nightlife runs the shipping code--the game will essentially run as if the files are not there.
Excellent! Some others may not agree with this, but I think it's a great move on Maxis' part.
And welcome to the forum, MaxoidTom. :)

Skadi: the phone hack appears to work okay at first, but it doesn't work properly with new Nightlife features like groups and asking sims out on a date.
Ancient Sim:
I use the online computer from MTS2 which has a function that disables cellphones when Sims are sleeping. Mine never go off anymore for sleeping Sims. Amazing what a difference it makes to the game. What I would really love to see though is the removal of that stupid "calling people to ask why they haven't called" scenario. I mainly use the phone hack for that, but because of it I miss other things I actually enjoyed (such as parents coming over when you called their kids, I found that hilarious because they always looked like peeping toms). That calling thing really should be removed, because it totally spoils the game. I had reached the stage where I never let mine answer the phone, because I knew what was coming. No way was I going to get them all set-up learning a skill or training a toddler, to be disturbed by a stupid call like that. It really does need to be removed, it's not funny, it's totally pointless and ruins the game.
