New EP procedure - would love recommendations.

Check to see if your objects.package is set as read-only.  If so, change it before installing the new EP.

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.)


I used to be one of those first-day release people. With Pets, I procrastinated and actually just installed it a few weeks ago even though I've had it for several months. Seasons is in its case, uninstalled as of yet. Waiting until the mods are updated, bugs identified, and the game is patched is much, much less stressful for me. I'll probably buy Bon Voyage soon after it is released, but I doubt I will install it right away. I still need to discover all the cool Seasons stuff!

So if it is Read-Only... then change it to NOT Read Only?
Or If it is Read-Only... leave it that way?

And what does this cause if left the other way to what should be done?

witch:
It should be Read-Only

If it is not, there is a chance it may become corrupt at some point, requiring you to find the original file on the disk and replace it.

Gwill:
It should normally be read-only, but while installing it might need to be writable.
