Request, nay Demand! for a new FAQ
syberspunk:
So... I was checkin out other forums that I frequent, at least one Sim related, and a thought occurred to me: There are plenty of simmers out there who don't know about potential BFBVFS causing VBTs.
I don't know if anyone has already written up a FAQ about this, as I don't frequent a ton of Sim sites out there... but I think it would be a great idea for someone (i.e. Not ME :D but I wouldn't mind helping out with suggestions :P It's just that... I'm long winded and my grammar is awful... yeah... that's the ticket...) or someones to write a FAQ that basically documents all the VBT you should not do, as well as precautions you can take, to avoid turning your 'hood/game into a BFBVFS.
To start off, we know at least the following:
1) NEVER Lotbin a household and try to install it in a new neighborhood
2) NEVER Download an occupied household from the Exchange :P and install it into your game
3) If you ARE foolish enough to Download such a household, NEVER install it unless you use the pheverstool
4) You should use Empty Templates or in the very least Clean Templates when starting a fresh 'hood/game.
5) You should use Awesomeware (TM), in the very least all Critical and Very Critical hacks/fixes.
Anything else to add? Anyone care to like officially write it up and make it all neat and pretty (Flowerchile, Venusy, SaraMK? Anyone?)

Darlin' Ste, that's a good idea.
I'd include some "How to help yourself before whinging to us" info, too, with links to Useful Tools.
You know. Hack conflict Detect, how to RTFM dammit, Clean Installer, Sim Cat, etc.
Answers to most common n00b questions. "What's all this, then?" would not be one.
Link to Quaxi's censor remover? Maybe.
What not to poke unless you are sufficiently awesome? Mandatory.
Quick Guide To More Awesomeness would be nice, too. Hate to state the obvious, but AVOID THE NON-AWESOME HAXXEN, BACK UP YOUR GAME and DON'T FUXXOR WITH SIMPE (unless you are AWESOME) and such.
Flamingo:
SimPE can generate the censor remover by just unticking a box, but yes. Perhaps there should be a new gameplay FAQ to accompany the forum rules FAQ.
PandaGirl:
Ste long winded? Never!
This would help a lot of newbies that don't want to bork things, but you try telling people who have been playing since the game came out that the things they've been doing are bad. I got into a domestic on the BBS when trying to tell someone that deleting from the simbin is bad. ::)
Pamhamlet:
Yikes! I have already done some of the stuff you mentioned. :'( Long time ago, nothing recently mind you, but done and did nevertheless. Shall I now frantically bite my nails waiting for a BFBVFS? Rats, in my favorite neighborhood, too. Why can't we delete from the sim/lot bin?
