Needless to say, Seasons FFS Director's Cut / TwoJeff's NonBorked List / CBoy's Propane-enhanced Update all passed.

NOTES: I may not have categorized who did what correctly. Feel free to correct me if you recognize a hack and see I have it attributed to the wrong person/site. I may no have put both/all parts of a hack in yet, thus not triggered a conflict yet.

InSIMinator has some issues, but since it isn't updated yet, this is to be expected. I was using DEST and downloaded OBJ because others reported it was not borking their game in that format.

Some items in my hacks folder are default replacements or non-global hack objects.

Huzzah! Am running Seasons vanilla (mostly, am trickling hacks in as I go) and the only borkage is apparently NVidia-related, not Sims-related. (Anyone got a copy of Driver Cleaner? I'm this><close to chucking out the current buggy driver.)

I just read a thread on how to remove appearance-related cc from the game to save on space (http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=84495) but my game gets kooky in CAS about 50% of the time and crashes on me. I deleted a bunch of stuff in BS and it initially borked my game, but now the game seems happier.

Also, I think I have far too many skins. I'm 90% sure no Sims are using most of them. Again, can I zap these in BS, and are skin files generally pretty big? Or, put another way, what custom content is best to delete, generally speaking, to gain the most filespace back for loading time reduction?

Cheers in advance for any enlightenment bestowed.

I'm TOTALLY paranoid, after dealing with Simz bugs (and new computer bugs) for the past six weeks. Age of new computer? Seven weeks. Heh!

So, OK, just move everything out, let game do its thing, cross fingers that it works, then start loading CC and updated hacks back in. Easy enough!

Ta v. much!

Hee!

So that works during install? I tried testing hack conflicts by renaming Downloads and the game FOUND THEM. It's like twins, it only shows signs of possible AI when you don't want it to.

Two U-ROCK! Points hereby awarded:

Pes for prescient logic re: vamp attire. *100 fists waving rock signs!*

Jfade for option to avoid becoming a giant zucchini. *five crowd surfers!*

Rah!

*powerchord*

Sometimes renaming my folders works to make the game overlook them, and sometimes it reads custom content in renamed files. I'm not 100% clear WHEN it does one or the other. I'm busily trimming my DL folder and segregating hacks (already segregated into degrees of awesomeness and not-so-awesome-ness, which has already make my life slightly less stressful).

The most recent "prepping for install" thread at MTS2 is geared for NL. Been there, done that. Any new info I should know? I got everything at once in January and had my share of irritation and blue screening and driver hell and clashing hacks (some awesome hacks fought it out, too) and CAS crashes and the usual petz annoyances like imported bodyshopped custom sims morphing into bland Maxian defaults when created as a family in CAS and imported into a lot and blah and foo and bar.

My Plan Of Attack:

Stock up on caffeine and ibuprofin.

Clear wall space for head bangage, if required

Comfy seat

Round up all prior EP CDs and codes *just in case*

Have NeedUpdates.txt and CleanMods.txt lists at hand

Remove NeedUpdates hacks and mods from Downloads

Insert caffeine.

Attempt to pry self away from more DLs, segregate

Insert caffeine.  Insert caffeine.  Insert caffeine.

Set shiny pared-down Downloads folder aside, far away from Sims 2 folder (yes?)

I have to back up Gunmod's Cameras, and the folder is small, so I'll segregate Cameras. Yes / No?

Collections folders are supposedly unborkable. Do I trust this?

Config: remove my userStartup.cheat file. NOTE: aliases NEVER work for me, and using them means none of the other cheats work. Woe. Tears.

LockedBins: kissingpoints pet crap. Whatever. Don't care. Unlocked and still couldn't make a bandit cat in CAS and haven't tried mirror appearance change yet. Is that how it works, or should it work in CAS?

Logs: whatever.
LotCatalog: supposedly unborkable. Is it?

Movies: none. Lazy.

Music: vital, but supposedly unborkable. Would be a hassle to redo, though, even with Music Manager tool. Advice?

Insert caffeine. Optional chocolate infusion.

Neighborhoods: must move far away from Sims 2 folder. Correct?

PackagedSims: I made a ferret cat. Yay me. I should move it if I decide I care enough to save it, or no?

Paintings: What? Where did all these bad photos of dogs come from?

PetBreeds: presumably unborkable, but who knows? Do you?

Projects: none. Lazy AND busy.

SavedSims: two, but I believe they were already imported to game. Keep?

SC4terrains: I have a half dozen custom ones, five of which aren't used. Back up?

Storytelling: pix. OK, I'll back those up.

Teleport: nada

Thumbnails: five mystery packages. Back up?

*.cache files: remove prior to install?

Insert caffeine.

I have Gunmod's Lights, which I am still ambivalent about, but I also have the most recent autoinstaller at hand. So I can reinstall if I decide I like dark shadowyness in return for lighting perks. Any better ideas?

Optional nap here.

Then the usual hell of having to copy over the CD and do the Disk1, Disk2 thing, I ASSUME, though I've mislaid the link and will have to go Googling for it to make sure I don't flark up. Maybe the game will shock me by installing properly the first time.

Insert caffeine.
Insert caffeine. 
Insert caffeine. 
Curse.
Consider prayer.
Insert caffeine.

Test game. Marvel at lightning fast load time compared to load time with usual bloated DL folder. Ogle new hood. Poke, but not with pointy stick. Click on various new crap, say "ooh" or "argh" as is appropriate. Insert caffeine. Do not touch old lots without CC in game. Do not save.

Return customized content to game folder from Double Secret Non-EA Folder.

If all goes well, DLs will load and game will load and happy happy joy joy mindless funsies time.

If all goes poorly, remove large quantity of hair from head, don sackcloth and ashes, lament.

(Insert caffeine regardless.)

Have hours -- if not days! -- of fun attempting to insert CC back into game.

Any reports on CC (not hacks/mods) stuff that is absofrigginglutely borked by Seasons, or are we fortunate this time? I'm hearing encouraging murmurs from the Peanut Gallery _{(FWIW, not old enough to recall this pop culture reference in person, but I have weird parents and grandparents).}

Lastly, fulfill Bladder, Social, Hunger, Fatigue, Comfort needs before starting game. Set motivedecay off.

Insert caffeine.

The end?

Help! 

I wonder if this is related to the flat rug issue mentioned in another thread?

The bumcrack kittyhide pants are definitely pukesome. Good call.

The logo hair has to be the worst. Seriously, game over. Yuck. 

Inge to the rescue!

Stray Away prevented all kinds of annoyance in TSO. *scampers off to DL*

FRAPS works for me, but so does SimCamera, a program I used during Sims 1.

I haven't been able to find it anywhere for years, so here it is if you want it.

I'm American and "fall" is a verb, and "autumn" is the proper term for a season. But I'm atypical, I guess.

Censor is Quaxi's / SimPE, yes. And apparently far more vital to non-irritating gameplay than I ever dreamed.

If you're tenderhearted, build an enclosure around it with a food bowl, bed, toy, and then leave off the door. Check back in a few Sim months, and it may have learned that your place is no fun to visit.

No, just fence your yard. Also, Sims 1 had Stray Away signs, surely some enterprising soul has recreated these for Sims 2?

I think I love you. 

Nice Maxis hair? I may faint. 

Nice work!

I'm getting Seasons (sometime this year, according to Amazon), so I'll resist the urge to download them all immediately, but I'm tempted.

If you sniff around, you'll find more.

The hat is different from the posted one, so you can consider it a supplement to the excellent hat offered here, and a way for your guys to have a hat as well.

buddha pest: I hope so. I was doing Download file maintenance and accidentally removed the censor.package out. I had pixelated naughty bits, which wasn't terrible, except the default censor grid is large enough to cover an entire Weight Watcher's meeting all at once. It was then that i discovered that intProp censorGridSize 0 doesn't do squat. Flarking censor grid is so large, it hides whatever else is going on so it's a Sim with only a head, two feet and a blur. My Sims apparently are so outgoing that they don't bother with clothes most of the time. Well, one Sim in this lot did, the other was blissfully nude and pixelated and making hot coffee (yow!) and serenading the other Sim (admittedly pretty funny, esp. when he paused after winning the girl of his Sim wants list over at long last, smacked his head as if to say "D'oh! I forgot my pants!" and then proposed) and so on.

In short, I am an adult, and nekkid Sim bums are far less offensive to me than a ginormous pixelated BOX. And hacks are our friends. If they are awesome.
