Celebrations Stuffit - Anything i should know?
Tigerlilley:
So on a whim of madness while bored at work, I ordered Celebrations Stuffit off teh interwebz and if the couriers dont fuck up I should recieve it today.
Ive had a quick look round MATY and I can't see any actual reported problems, the most i can gather is that, it does not have its own executable to run and that Joshure and a few others in Retardoland have nothing helpful to report about it :P
So just wondering, does anyone know of any mad issues? Will my sims heads explode? Or is this just a stuff pack with no known problems?
Ness:
We've encountered issues with changing names and changing the clock format to 24 hour time.
Even though it's just a stuff pack and in the past we've been able to get away with it... it's absolutely VITAL that you remove your hoods for install. We got the clock fixed, and sorta fixed the names... lets just say it was kinda disturbing to have a male sim called Rebecca.

Actually, it does have its own executable, but it's at OFB/GS/FFS level -- it recognizes if you have Pets or Seasons, and tells you to run the latest EP instead.
Other than that, no big issues -- it will overwrite your camera settings, so if you use a camera mod backup the files first. It'll also set you back to the 'enable CC' dialog, even though you're not running its executable, so as Ness said, back up your hoods first. And it will reset all your lots, so your sims will be standing by the beds/mailbox/etc when you first go in (but the 'after-patch fix' on the macrotastics controller fixes it).
The problem Ness and others reported were mostly caused by installing different English versions than the already installed game (US vs UK) because Australia and some other places got the wrong version. Only weird glitch I had was about a week after I installed it, the game just forgot it was there, and none of the stuff showed up anymore. A quick re-install fixed it, and didn't even cause a reset the second time.

Crap i forgot about the name issues. Im in New Zealand so i bet we got the wrong version as well...
I know theres a thread around here about how to change the registry for that...
What a lot of drama for some damn items i should have just downloaded lol.
