Playing as if later EPs not installed

J. M. Pescado:
I really cannot honestly recommend a version of the game pre-OFB. The most stripped install I would recommend is Base + GLS. As an OFB-era stuffpack, GLS will upgrade your engine to OFB-grade and make it compatible with most shiny things, without actually adding anything.

witch:
That might be something I could try. I put Sims 2, uni and nightlife on my son's computer. I loaded the hacks from ffs/nightlife but the sleepclock crashes the game to the desktop, maybe if I add GLS it will work.

Inge:
Thanks Venusy.  It didn't occur to me to look in the downloads section I thought I was just looking for some instructions, not a tool :)

Noted: Will investigate this issue. NL's engine is very, very buggy. At what point does this trigger? Is this with the most recent version? A tweak was made in an attempt to work around the stupid buggy NL engine at some point relatively recently.

witch:
It crashes at the point where the sim goes to select their wake hour. I got the hack from ffs about a fortnight ago. I tried it first with base game and NL, it crashed, I added Uni in case sleepclock was looking for something from uni, it still crashed. Instantaneously. I was only using ffs hacks, these are new players and I wanted to take away the worst of the irritations while they were learning the game.
