Title: No inheritance after elder dies
Post by: dumbfool on 2008 June 11, 05:03:18
* Compatibility: All (tested from Base game up to FreeTime)
* Modifications: Global (affects all families/lots)
* Hack Version#: 1.0

Quick Info
~~~~~~~~~~
Prevents the inheritance money rewarded to the friends and/or family of a
deceased elder.  When the elder dies, money materializes from nowhere to pay
all of that Sim's friends/family.  You would think it is life insurance money,
but then again, you never pay into life insurance anyway.  It is just free
money that appears out of nowhere making the game way too easy.

Note that there was a hack to do this by "Jordan M. G." at MATY.

But it is not updated for FreeTime.

* Check out the readme.txt file for more information.

I admire and appreciate your mindreading abilities ;) Yesterday, I was looking for Jordan's thread to see if it said something about being updated/still compatible, but no.

But here dumbfool saves the day!

Will happily test it and I'll get back if something seems wrong (might take me a couple of days). Thanks and baa!

Jordan's (as far as I can tell) is still working. No errors on death. No inheritance. No funkiness. But yeah. Supported > Unsupported.

Who are you, dumbfool?

I am just someone who had a bunch of hacks made over the last few months but never uploaded them for the public, until now.

FreeTime changed the file that is inside of Jordan M. G.'s hack.  Even though his hack might "work", it also does not include
the fixes and code changes that FreeTime made to that file.  So you may be losing other game functionality by using his outdated hack.

I just thought everyone might want a hack that works on all the expansions.

Hope it finds a good home!

Another nice idea!  You're not Sqinge, Dizzy or Atavera, are you?  Still, we all had to arrive out of the blue some time or another.

No I am not Sqinge, Dizzy or Atavera in disguise.  And I don't think I will be making 100s of hacks like Sqinge did.  He was a beast!  But this forum used to be closed to new registrations a while back (maybe over a year ago).  So I was just lurking but could never post anything.

Cool for me. Like I said, Supported > Unsupported. Unfortunately, none of my sims are close to dying from old age, so I'm a poor tester.
