New EP procedure - would love recommendations.
witch:
I create a new sims 2 folder by renaming the old one, then run the game vanilla for a bit, see what it does, then I usually add back the hacks I can't live without and see what happens again. I keep checking for updated hacks and this method seems to have worked fine for me so far.

I'm waiting to install until everything essential is updated :D I'm still going to buy it on first day of release though. Baa!
This is why you are a stupid Vista-using Emma and deserve your Vista chair! Photos of sim-Emma and the Vista Chair forthcoming.

You could do what I do, and wait a month or two before installing it. All of the hacks are updated by then, there's often a patch out, and the major game-breaking bugs are known so you can avoid them. You've lived without it this long, it's not like you can't wait a little longer. (I know that almost no one will find my advice palatable.)
Actually, this is my usual modus operandi with new EPs.
It's not like I have a lot of free time to play as it is. I'll probably wait until December/break from classes to deal with installation hassles.
Simgoose:
Option 1: Backup, then copy mods back in, and see what happens
Option 2: Wait a month or two for the hacks to be updated etc.
Option 3: Remove all Mods and Custom Content, and play it the great way Maxis/EA wrote it...
give that about 5 minutes (including a long boot time) and you will be pulling your hair out in no time...
Why did the entire queue just drop; why wont they do what i told them; No! don't go and play drums...
Why did my baby come out back when both parents are white and come from a white up bringing...
why why why why.
Personal I think ill go with a bit of option 1 and 2...
To add: its good when a new EP comes out, something new to do... and thank god we some peple
that are more awesome than you, and I that come up with these awesome hacks/mods. other wise...
we wouldn't know any different to the base game. *holds breathe and passes out*
10 more days... woohoo! (on a tropical island)
