Hacks you miss most?
Gus Smedstad:
I'm running a completely hack-less install of Nightlife for the moment. It's a bit better than I expected since Maxis did fix some of the existing bugs. Still, I miss -
1. Phonehack. I don't really care about most of the features, but I'd forgotten how much I hated being called just to say "why haven't you called?" I'm back to avoiding answering the phone unless I need it to call out for some reason. The answer to "Is David available to talk?" is always NO now.
2. No Influence Obsession. A Sim is a lot less interesting when all he wants to do is make other Sims talk to each other.
3. No Gismo Wants. It's even more annoying than before, because the Sims now Want to purchase phones when they already have them. Yes, I've heard No Gismo Wants works, but it's not on Boris's list...
4. Marriage Traditional. It's annoying to have to choose between fulfilling a Want and keeping names the way I want them.
5. No 20K Handout. One of the few mods that actually makes the game more challenging.
There are a lot of others I liked, but the effects were more cosmetic, like the Car Pool Fix.
The one I'm not missing is No Buskers. Not because I like buskers, but because I no longer keep instruments of any kind around because busking or not, they still act like flypaper for guests and sims I'm not watching. They start playing and then don't stop until they go into needs crisis or I forcibly interrupt them. I simply want them to stop if their Fun meter is full. Yeah, I know, that interferes with training Creativity, but I've always got computers and easels for that.

I have a few hacks installed, but I have to agree that I miss the phone hack the most of all! :'(
Brynne:
The Romance Mod! I have grown kids getting furious with their father for kissing someone other than their mother (even his current wife!), to whom the father was never married! I can't even let my romance sims go on a date, now. I tried one yesterday, and had to find a lot that had some privacy. Of course family members and old flames kept showing up and barging in, anyway.
MistressBoleyn:
Oh, most definitely the phone hack. My sims will not answer the damn thing again until a new hack comes out...
nectere:
So far - bathroom uses you and of course the phone mod...and the college clock. I am sure I will miss toddler/elder sleep through the night and the school bus dialogue when I get there.
Oh yea and no eat crap, which was a real problem with college since hardly anyone ever ate except my two sims and it seemed they were always getting the food right when it turned bad.
It seems all the modding sites are down except this one so I cant check on anything I got from 2Js or others over at "that" site.
