My thread here http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,17446.0.html were locked, but it might be more appropiate to post here anyway.
I downloaded the fixes from the al hack index this time - these:
alfixes
creaturefixes
dramafix
ffsdebugger
fishandharvestfix
ftminifixes
nocorruptdeath
nolinkondelete
ofbfixes
orchardtreefix
snsnpcslotfix
stuckobjremover
vacationfixes
winterflowerfix
woohooltwfix

and the problem re-appear, so I have now tested it, by taking one fix out at the time. It seems that it is the alfixes that creates the problem. I have also tested with alfixes alone. Without alfixes the love letters goes to the inventory, with alfixes the love letters dissapear.

Well ... it was one of them hacks. Just tried without and the loveletter appear properly in the inventory. You know, I always tell others to remember to update their hacks and then I do something like this. I don´t know what to say, feeling pretty stupid right now.

Thank you for helping

Thanks Tarlia, nice to know that I´m not alone. I´ll go through the fixes and remove the unnedded ones and I´ll send my sim on a date in vanilla ... let´s see what happens then

Honestly I have no idea. I just kept it because I didn´t know if that was fixed in a later EP, and I do not know where to go look for that kind of information. But I assume that I should remove it, right? Guess that I should also remove the Hygiene Bug Fix and Get In Car Fix.

My sim had a date and recived a loveletter, but it never showed up in her inventory  

I play a challenge and no hacks are allowed except hacks that fix real game bugs ... this is the ones I have in my game

No Unlinkage On Urnstone Delete

Nothing else. No objects, no walls, no recolors or anything at all, only the above fixes.

Can I fix this somehow ?

edit: oh btw, I have all EPs and SPs and all patches

I don´t know if this is your problem, but when my game start to act like that, removing the dust from the fans, videocard and CPU helps a lot ! I use a tiny soft brush and a ton of patience.

It is not always obivious, some of those hood decorations leaves "invisible puddles" (I don´t know what else to call them) preventing you to place lots, even though you have deleted the decoration. I have recently been fighting with the train deco ... exiting the hood and go back, seems to clean up the terrain.

I am staying with TS2.
I don´t know if I would have liked TS3 or not, but after Freetime I decided that I am not going to hand more money over to EA ... never. I bought IKEA, AL and M&G in a secondhand store ... and I don´t want to download the arrr´d version, because of principles

Yes, that worked  bah

Quote from another player
Don´t know if it is important

The ALFixes dated April 26 seems to break "new" apartment lots.
The Landlord never tries to shake the potential tenant's hand with hack in.
The Check Out Apartment interaction isn't working correctly with the hack in.
The sim will perform the action but the door stays closed and never opens.
If you do manage to rent the apartment cause it wants to drop from queue,
the tenants the game spawns may complain about blocked apartments doors.
This breakage seems to happen mostly on fresh new lots without any tenants.

This has been tested in both vanilla and non vanilla games by a few different players with the same results.
The Hack dated March 28th works fine but April 24 and April 26 one does not.
All players tested had the latest AL patch and M&G installed.

In this case, vanilla means "with nothing but the ALFixes" 

Thanks Kyna for taking the time to explain all this ... I have never used the printLotClass "cheat" ... never thought that I would need it ever *LOL*

I did a seach, have been reading and need to do a lot more reading, before I´m ready to throw myself and my sims in to all this ... but now at least I have an idea of what I need to do.

aaah, I just so wished it would be as easy as the nodormierespawn thing ... guess you can´t have it all

It will be either that solution or no apartments at all. The downside is that I will have the same socials, that will be neighbors to my sims, generation after generation, but maybe I can change their looks along the road and imagine that they are someone else. Maybe it will be fun to fool around with BS again

I will have to create 4x5 types of social groups, to be on the safe side, right ? And do I need to give them skills, jobs, badges and such first or will the game reset them, when I turn them into socials ?

  .... that was not the answer I was hoping for, oh sigh

and bribing or begging someone here, won´t help at all ? When it comes to begging, I could sink really low


OMG, I can´t believe I actually wrote that

There are notownieregen, nostrayrespawn, nodormieregen, antivacationactions and so on hacks ... why is there no nosocialgroupsrespawn hack ?
Or did I just fail completely when searching for one ?

I have spend so much time building up a hood, with as few EAxis sims as possible and I really want to keep it that way. It annoys me to no end, that I can´t move in one of my sims in to an apartment building, without having a bunch of ugly EAxis sims flooding my hood ... yes it is stubborn and stupid, but I really really really do not want those social groups.

No, we are at least two ... the sky after Seasons are plain boring.

According to the booklet that comes with SC4 you can import your TS1 sims to your SC4 hood. I have never tested it, but your sims should then report back to you about how their lives is going .....

I have 72 sims that you can have. See them here http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v157/Mizz_Rose_Bud/RoseBrook/Sims/

These are old pics and they are using Lyrans skintones, but they do not look very different with the EAxis skintone. If you are interested, I will fire up BS.

Well, if Pes says that, it might be a good idea to listen.


If it is me you are asking, then don´t bother. I only play one hood and have no need for testing it out. Just repeted what others have said

There is a program called PowerRen 2000. I know that other players have used it to rename the files in a Nxxx folder, if they want to run the same hood in different ways. Apparently it works fine for them, so with that and Terrain Surgery, it shouldn´t be impossible.

I have some "beach terrains" here http://home20.inet.tele.dk/rosebudsims/sc4.htm ... it is the first/upper six ones and they work okay for me. The rest were made before BV and I don´t think that they would be very good for beach lots.

I start with "a water hood" in SC4 and then raise a tiny bit of land, just so much that it shows through the water. Then I use the Plain tool (God mode) to raise the ground where I want land. That´s the easiest way to get a working coastline IMO.

hmmm ... when I come to think about it. I think that I might manually have set PSP to open all kind of image files ... it is under Perferences ... File Association or something like that, I´m at work so I can´t check it right now.

Oh btw ... is it possible to get that QA version, to test this out. I were at the SimPE site, but as always, I couldn´t ffind what I was looking for. I´m blind

That is odd. I have Paint Shop Pro 8 and I have no problems with opening, editing and saving png files, no problems at all.

Oh my ... well that explain a lot 

It just sounded like you had it up and running, from the posts above ... guess that I need to have a bit more patience.

Rose

Have to ask ... how do you make SimSheets work ?

I downloaded the file from the first post, hoping that there were a explanation in the readme ... I can´t find anywhere in the thread that says anything about what to do after downloading and unzipping the pack ...

Am I completely blind ?

I assume that I need the csv file, and I know how to make one ... I just don´t know where to put it afterwards or how to import it to the program.

Rose

I really like that idea too ... and Parsimonious already have the bottles, they just need to be "filled"
