Preparing for post-NL expansion packs
ZephyrZodiac:
It may well be that the problem is fixed with Pets, of course. But try the College Adjuster and see if moving your sims up to Junior and bypassing that exam solves the problem.
Yimmit:
Maybe that's my big problem. I keep expecting the game to work as shipped. I keep expecting these hack-type-things to be improvements, not substitutions. If I have to run ever f-ing sim through the college adjuster (I send every f-ing sim to college)!!!!!! GRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!
I'm still thinking going backwards is the way to go forwards.
ZephyrZodiac:
Well, the adjuster only takes a moment or to to use, and you only need do it as the sims on the lot are about to go for their exam, so you don't actually feel like you're cheating. You know they've filled the bar (or haven't) so you just move them up to what they would be if they had taken the exam. Of course, if they have the want to complete that year, they won't fill it, but if they have the want to make the dean's list, you can lock that until the next exam. And, as I said, installing Pets may solve the problem.
Yimmit:
Yeah, I've used the adjuster in the past, but I just have to wait until I stop taking care of my real-life elders and go home to install anything else on the computer. As of this moment, all I have is the OFB directors cut (that I believe is all P2--I still have these OFB p-1, p2 problems, but I really haven't played much of the businesses at this stage) and most of CB and 2J's stuff (except the College adjuster because it conflicts with Pescados clock). "Cheating" is not the issue, if this is the way it works from now on, then so it goes, but...
I know you have already addressed this, ZZ, but dagnabbit, these things should work in a vanilla game. Stupid aspyr. And there are no patches for this thing! Fie! I say Fie on you!
ZephyrZodiac:
I totally agree with you - a vanilla install should work! Sims1 had very few problems in comparison, and those they had were minor, most problems then were caused by custom content, not by the game itself!
I think the problems started because when EA took over, they were more interested in profit now than the reputation of the product! So the staff at Maxis were under constant pressure to hurry up and get the next EP out, when most of us would have preferred a few weeks delay and a thoroughly tested product!
I dread to think how many problems there will be with Sims3!
I have both the college adjuster and the college clock in my game - the HCDU shows no conflicts, and since they are both lot specific objects, you just pick one of them for your lot.
