JMP, you should be in a hurry - Two Jeffs updated 3/4 of his hacks and fixes for NL.
Merola and Carrigon, and Inge too.
Why it will take 6-8 weeks to get the game? I got my game from USA through UPS in 3 days (they sent it on 13Th, and I got it on 16th September).
And you LIVE in USA!
...And I am waiting only for your hacks and fixes...Gee, you depress me...:(.
It's too bad we can't stick one of those flame pots under his behind. I would think we would see some action then.

Bah. If it were up to me, there'd be the uncancellable interaction called "Road Waffle!", and a new ghost look to go with it.
Stop it, you're making me hungry.

Maybe when the inevitable EP with pets comes out we can add "Roadkill Stew" to our Sims dinner menu?

Ah, I see what you mean. It would make more sense for the action to pop up and override everything if someone was actually in the vehicle (a valid reason to watch out, I would think). I fail to see why one would need to watch out for a vehicle sitting in a driveway with no one in it... unless the previous driver had neglected to set the parking brake. All I know is it is damned inconvenient! >:(
And since you cannot place a driveway on anything but a completely flat piece of ground, there would never be a need for a parking brake anyway.....

I've seen the Watch Out action a few times now. It usually happens when your Sim has to walk behind the car after getting out of it. It has happened once when my Sim was leaving and another Sim walked past the dorm (more on the dorm later).
I suspect the Watch Out could be triggered because the car alarm went off. Even if you don't have a car alarm. Just because no one's ever heard the car alarm go off doesn't mean there isn't one going off; there are a lot of sound issues in Nightlife.
Now, the car at the dorm. My Sim created as a young adult in CAS with Pleasure aspiration rolled up a want to buy a car. While living in a dorm. There's no way to buy a car for her without the dormspecifctoolsenabled cheat to place a driveway first. Since I was having the devil's own time keeping her in gold, I really needed those 1500 aspiration points. So.... I used the cheat. Sorry Maxis, you shouldn't have to use a cheat to fulfill a want.
The dorm was Deardorff Dorm at Sim State, so I had room to place a driveway on the right side of the lot after removing the stupid tree that blocks your view of most of the dorm. The driveway itself was near the center of the lot, and was placed as far to the right as possible.
I had an odd bug with a group invited to a community lot. I forgot to end the group before my Sim left for home in my car, and two of the group were still on the community lot. They both got in the car with my Sim. When I arrived at the dorm, I got a message that my dorm was already full and some Sims would move out to make room for the new Sims. Two Sims moved out. The two groupies immediately left and I had two empty rooms, which were soon taken by the Sims who had just moved out of the rooms and had also left the lot but returned.
It may be a bad idea to remove the Watch Out action or alter its behavior. What if someone starts playing kicky bag behind the car between the time you get in and the time the car leaves? How do you get the idiots Sims behind the car to move?
