Perhaps he's left this site out of loyalty to the users of his own BBS who have been shamelessly slandered here? I think it's really ugly, and if saying that loses me friends I'll have to cope with it.
Knowing EA/Maxis, it is much more likely a higher up said "Ok, they have shut up and stopped posting patch rants on the official boards every day. You can stop posting there now."

If you are afraid of them spreading the event around just start a huge fire, make them pass out, and make them wet themselves.
They will have other strong new memories to think about.
Or kill them.

First of all, it's called boolProp testingCheatsEnabled, otherwise know as debug mode. Notice the "testing" part? It's a tool for the programmers themselves to use while testing the game.
Second, What do you mean doesn't have anything to do with Nightlife? It's a tool for testing the original game, University, and Nightlife. It's not something that's just for use with Nightlife.
Do you have a point or are you a professional bore? Would you be happy if I remove the word "boolprop" and just ask for a cheat? Cretin.

Morning Tom.
Its 8 Am on monday, shouldn't you be eating doughnuts, drinking coffee, and filling out your new TPS coversheets to get ready for the workday?
Oh, and just a comment/question, for the NL patch 2 you mentioned in the vamp crumplebottom thread. Any way you can convince the programmers to add a function to boolprop that lets you change teh attraction value of objects with a shift click? I know its not TECHNICALLY a bug, but there are certain things sims are attracted witha frequency that would embarass a crack addict. I keep expecting my sims to go strawberrying to get access to certain objects.

Sims are just way too sensitive!
Bah - wouldn't you want to beat the crap out of some total stranger if they threw a water balloon in your face? It's reality and it spices up the game. Well maxis really just called them water ballons. The same way they called the bong a bubble blower, woo hoo for vanilla and freaky sex, the energizer for crystal meth, etc. In reality that is a condom filled with warming liquid they are throwing.

Sanrio (HelloKitty) makes tons of themed electronics for kids that are pretty cheap. I know Toys R Us in the states carries some of them, and some can be ordered online.
They have a TV/VCR/DVD combo and also a great minifridge that is the perfect size to hold a 6 pack of.... um soda. It would be wrong to keep it next to the computer full of booze.

Some of the stuff has somehow managed to survive on the exchange for nearly a year.
If you are going ot play the sims 2, why not play a normal society? I do. The infidelity rate in the US is well over 60%.
People are mostly corrupt, selfish, horney, bastards. So are my sims! All this happy lovey shit is dull.
Although the first time I played I used the teen woo hoo and no jelousy hacks. But then when I would play certain families I would turn it off. Made for a laugh.
The nightlife reactions are great imo. There seem to be 2 fights every time I go to a comm lot, and I have only been playing this remake for 3 days.

Well since others are explaining.
My base neighboorhoods always begin with a few lots of homeless people in the outskirts. I make them all random and then boolprop to lower thier social and hygene to the bottom. Then I never load them up again. That way you have lots of very friendly very smelly poor people bothering you every time you go to a comm lot. Since theya re far away from the main area they rarely show up near houses.
Then I add the whore house, meat market, and breeding stock. These lots contain high class whores (all romance), low class whores in peep show style rooms, and a pimp who breeds and raises family sims for sale and breeding.
To round out my background sims I add a few lots of trailer parks with 8 sims each.
So I now have at least 20 or so romance sims wandering around, lots of stinky people, and random trash.
From there I add what I will play.
My current town has-
The showcase family of the town, who are part of the "cuckold/blackwidow challenge" that I never bothered writing up since it would have probbably gotten me banned from the BBS for being damn funny, and naughty.
A pedophile priest who lives with his young "ward".
A urine soaked maniac.
"Joe Morality" a Morman
A youth shelter
Paul Shaeffer and David Letterman as a gay couple.
A very butch/femme stereotype lesbian family
A complete slut who is now at over 50 woo hoos, with a painting of every person she has woo hooed.
The very first family I made, with the wife who is sleeping with 3 women in town, the asshole husband who claims to be an artist but just paints pictures of his affair's asses in panties, and his creepy brother.
The girlfriend of the previous brother accross the street, and then her related family throughout the town.
Her triplet slut sororitute sisters at Uni.
An artist family who breed nonstop and maintain plat levels through selling paintings and constant use of drugs (well the energizer, but we know what that is). 4 kids so far and the only time they have slept was after woo hoo for makeing babies. They have eaten a birthday cake but thats all.
Buffallo Bill from Silence of the Lambs (he helped destroy my original hood by making the char file GROW, poor dead townies)
a 2 lot Juvenile detention center.
A fat geeky guy in a teenage mutant ninja turtles shirt who married an insane japanese girl, then they made a baby. Her family is spread through the town too.
3 Sims wearing Star Trek uniforms. 2 are fat geeky males with romance aspiration, the third is the unexplainably hot female roomate who has fat as a turn off and is a knowl.
The characters from the BBC series "Bottom" and "Gimmie Gimmie Gimmie", and Papa Lazarouz from League of Gentleman (you're MY WIFE NOW!!!)
A goth asshole who is now a vampire.
The tinkle family from Wigu. I will soon add J.Ro, WeedmasterP and baby. Maybe the poopmeister etc too.
Thats all off the top of my head. I recently had to remake it since I had a fireball of death. So they are all meeting each other again, but I saved the best lots.

Beat me to it. ME was an abortion that somehow survived and is now drug down the street and used as a kickball by XP and the new Mac OS.
Try upgrading, you will be suprised at how long you have been causing yourself problems.

There is an explaination under tech help on the real site about how to copy the whole of Uni onto your drive, then install from there. It works with NL too.
That fixed teh exact same problem with Uni, so give it a try.

A feedback loop would be nice in theory, but I can only imagine how it would turn into a forum for arguments and ranting.
Ahem. THIS is a forum for arguments and ranting, and yet you seem to spend about 4 hours a day here anyway. Maybe a forum for arguments and ranting is a GOOD thing, hrm? I do it because I like pain and abuse. Others at Maxis may not share my sentiments. So you are the perfect complement to the average EA/Maxis admin.

Do you wear a gingered wig and velvet jacket and talk about what you are having for tea, and the terrific fanny on that bird? If so, that may be why they get confused.
From what I've been told, British don't like using the word "fanny." I used it in the british context in this case. Get it? Its funny that he is admiing her vagina.

I think there may be a relationship bug. Several times (3!) I have, ina brand new neighboorhood, had a sim meet someone that they have at least 2 lightining bolts for, and after the first contact (generally tell joke for me, but didn't keep track) they are instantly best friends and in one case both crushed.
I also noticed this did not fill the make a freind want on one of my sims, so I assume the game thought it was already set and was just updating it.
I haven't been able to make a save to reproduce, it has only happened on NL town lots.
If this is happening between vamp NPCs and townies/and NPC CAs sims, this could explain the biting, they ARE great friends.

Not that there's anything inherently wrong with incest: without it the royal families of the world wouldn't exist (nor half the American south :-p )
I really resent it when people lump all southerners together labelling them "rednecks" and a "bunch of inbreds." Not all southerners are like that; in fact, it is a small minority. It is wrong to stereotype people like that. He said half, not ALL. But looking it up on www.internetBBSstylestats.com I found it to be 49.9%. So it is a minority.
