Well, Pescado has died - in permanant platinum, and as a cranky old curmudgeon.  May he rest in peace.  Well, not peace, but he better not be as bitter a ghost as he was a Sim.

I think they have a great selection; I also love their accessories section.  I love earrings for my Sims, so I definitely "shop" there.

One more thing about these sites - all of them are free (or have free sections). 

Thanks for posting that link again, Kingdom.  I love that site too

Oooh, that's great.  Since my reinstall, I am re-downloading stuff, and I would love to be able to be even more anal about my organization than before!

I think it sucks - my Romance Sim went from Woohoo with 20 different Sims to have 20 Simultaneous lovers.  As I had never gotten the Woohoo one, I wanted to keep it.  Plus, I like making the Romance Sim fight with her lovers later, and I can't do that if I want them to remain in love, lol.

Vancouver Island?  Where do you live?  I live in Victoria...

I have had that happen a few times, actually. 

I saved and exited to the neighbourhood, and then went back in and the LTW was shown.  The first two Sims, however, re-rolled LTW's the next time I opened the game, and came up with completely different LTW's!

The third Sim has kept his original LTW, and his showed right away.  Funnily enough, this third Sim was after a fresh install, with no patch in the game...

He's a little like my dad as well, except my dad has all his hair, and no beard.  Also, my dad doesn't do computers, but the orneriness (?) is the same.

Last thing I heard, you could only have folders two-deep.  So, you could have the Downloads folder, then objects, then furniture.  Or whatever.

Has it changed with Nightlife?

Maybe it's my Retardo Land roots showing....

I don't play Uni (is any game more boring than that one?), so I never had any of the bugs associated with the Greek house, etc.  As for the huge amount of character files, I don't think I've ever made it past 200 in any of the neighbourhoods I've ever had.  The other, minor annoyances were all easily taken care of with hacks.

I'm interested in hearing what the pros say as well.

The only thing that makes me laugh about this question is not that someone was willing to pay the $40 (didn't it go up for the addition of Crammyboy?), but that someone made it past the first page and still asked the question.

I replied in the other thread, Missdoh, about the patch.

I did play without the patch for a long time, and I did play with the patch for a while as well.  I don't play my game involved enough, or long enough, to have noticed much of a difference either way.  Right now, I am not planning to play with the patch, although I probably will install it again at some time in the future.

For a minute there, I thought I wandered into RL.  My mistake.

Right now, being in Canada, there is pretty much nothing they can offer me in this holiday pack that will make me want to buy it.  I can't justify spending $25 (or whatever, after the exchange rate) on some objects.  If I wanted to spend my money on new stuff for my Sims, I would buy a subscription to a pay-site, because at least I can get my money's worth, with the sheer volume of items available on some of those sites. 

Plus, I know I will be able to get all this stuff for free from others who do buy it.

A couple of weeks after the hotrod got uploaded to the exchange, I noticed that slowly they were all going away.  I doubt it was the creators removing them, unless they were told to officially.  I bet it will be the same with this - the quicker you are to download the lot, the better chance you have of getting it.  What are they going to do - sue some 10-year-old kid for uploading that stuff?

Whee!  I can't wait for all the shiny new hacks!  And the Internet at home so I can download them all!

Hi.  Welcome. 

Potty training glitch - I didn't keep it with the patch installed....hmm...

Nice to see you too, Gaby. 

I only ever had one set of twins pre-Nightlife, and I've not had any since Nightlife.  Not that I'm complaining, though.  I had two babies born at the same time (regular and alien), and it was a nightmare.  That demon alien child was horrible!

No, it's completely gone.  I uninstalled the game manually, and reinstalled.

I sort of feel the same way - I reinstalled the game, and now I don't have the patch anymore.  I never had a huge problem with the game beforehand though, and I had a lot of hacks from Pescado that probably prevented my game from being a LFBVFS.

Once I had the patch installed, I still noticed a few glitches with the game, mostly with the cars and some new NL features.  To me (someone who doesn't play large neighbourhoods or families), it wasn't worth it, and I would rather have the potty training glitch (it seemed almost impossible to get a toddler trained with the patch).

I just reinstalled, and I forgot to remove the downloads folder, so now I have none.  I did have some hacks that were still in the recycle bin, so I restored and reinstalled those.

*sniff*

Maxis content is so fugly!
