I reckon it's more likely that they'd get rid of someone who proved it to them.
Awful image What the fuck Fourcats. Offensive, not appropriate, not even relevant. Try to be a little less fail. Get that shit out of this thread. |

I attempted to install the patch last night. No errors on the patch installation, but any attempt to actually run the game (either via the launcher or the Sims2EP7.exe -- I never use the launcher normally but tried it this time just in case it might have fixed it, no luck) just gave an error message, something about a "conflict with the emulation software". This was before it even started up the game, let alone got to the neighborhoods, so it can't be hack-related. I ended up uninstalling FT and reinstalling it. Fortunately I managed to get a current backup of my hood from SimPE prior to uninstalling, so I didn't lose anything. I'm running Vista, all EPs, and several of the SPs including the KBID one. I have never had the slightest problem installing a patch before, but I'm not going to try that again. What a waste of time!  Karen I got this message trying to use a no-cd crack that Vista didn't like. Don't try to run an Unholy Hybrid and use a Vitality no-cd crack. |

can i not just use a standard no-cd exe now, then replace it with it with the securom one when it comes out, then patch the newer no-cd exe?
BTW, how long do you guys expect to wait for this updated exe?
I believe you misunderstand. No-cd crack .exe files are used so you don't have to load the game from the CD or DVD. Bypassing the CD, means that you avoid installing securom (bad thing) on your computer. When you patch, the no-cd crack is out-of-date, since it was made for the non-patched game. This may cause problems due to what we call the "unholy hybrid" (patched game with non-patch no-cd .exe). Thus, people wait to patch the game until a no-cd crack for the patch comes out, so that we can continue to avoid securom (bad thing). Hehe, GJ. I wasn't going to touch that one. Wonder if the next EP Apartments will re-break some of these fixes or do more harm to the game it self. Considering their inability to learn from past mistakes or actually use anything resembling logic, it's a definite. I thought that Lord Darcy postulated that the reason bugs and such keep recurring is because they are building the EPs & SPs all off the (unpatched) Pets engine. Well, duh. If you keep building off the same engine you knew had bugs without fixing it, you're going to keep getting the same bugs. This upsets me, as Pets was the most bugged up expansion to date. |

any hacks for:
>triple speed community lots?
This bug has been around since at least Pets, as I recall, and I don't think anyone's ever made a fix for it. I still have it happen now and then. I only got this bug with BV. It's the stuff like this that proves that nobody who works on the Sims2 series actually plays the game. |

I want to say that people running Norton have it coming to them anyway. There's no excuse to have that bloater on your system when there are so many free and effective firewalls/anti-virus programs.
But yeah. Saying that you should turn off your anti-virus before playing is a little bit cheeky. More than a little bit. Why not just fix that memory leak of yours?
I read that as they "suspected" it was the games fault, but really, its Nortons! Which may or may not be truth, but that's what I think they're saying. |

norton isn't our firewall and anti virus. humm. don't sim and net, that would require a lot of self-control.
Ok wait what. Do you even have the Nvidia crashes? If not... why are you complaining about turning Norton off? Its been said since the basegame came out that Norton and Sims won't play nice together. Hell Norton doesn't play nice with anything. |

TS2: Burnination / The Podium / Re: My Secret Science Club is Don Lotharios House

Ok so it turns out.. I'm not 100% on this, but I think my game spawns more than one hobby lot.  At first I thought this was just a graphical error, but now it seems like those lots are different places. (Yes I realise thats not the Science lot but its the same for all my hobbies). Basically, the first "Hobby" lot in the phonebook is Dons house. The next two are the correct Science club. My arts and crafts lot does this too. I haven't been to Fake Backwards House Club yet for that one though. To be honest, Fake Backwards Houses are a helleva lot more interesting than the clubs. Whoever designs EA lots needs to be shot in the face. |
