51  TS2: Burnination / The Podium / userStartup.cheat for Castaway Stories ?? on: 2008 July 03, 16:53:36
Hi all,
I'm looking for a competent answer to that question.
Is there anything similar that lets me auto-enable the few working codes in Castaway Stories ?
I obviously suck at google since I wasn't able to find anything useful.

I have upgraded my PSU to 500w a few years ago, not that.
is it a faulty PSU?
It's not so much the "Watt"age what matters.
You need at least 18 Amps on the 12V rail.. (23A with PCIe)

H E R E you can calculate, what PSU you really need (add 30% to the result to cover spikes-loads and future upgrades)

I love that video. The guy who did that is an electrical engineer, I think, and he had the light show play at set times so as not to disturb the neighbors too much. The music was broadcast over the radio during those times.

That was quite awesome (I don't want to see his electric bill either). And yes he was "shut down" in 2005 within a week after a his display caused a traffic accident.
Certainly not my (as a former  European) idea of christmas.
 But I sure give him credits for making the "Trans Siberian Orchestra" known to me  Grin

Quote
This display was the work of Carson Williams, a Mason, Ohio, electrical engineer who spent about three hours sequencing the 88 Light-O-Rama channels that controlled the 16,000 Christmas lights in the 2004 version of his annual holiday lighting spectacular. His 2005 display included over 25,000 lights that he spent nearly two months and $10,000 to hook up. So that the Williams' neighbors wouldn't be disturbed by constant noise, viewers driving by the house were informed by signs to tune in to a signal broadcast over a low-power FM radio station to hear the musical accompaniment

HERE you can see his 2006 Display on YouTube

Or you could just hit CTRL-SHIFT-C and type in "motherlode".

...or even familyfunds [familyname] [amount] (not to be limited to 50k steps Cheesy

Repeat the "Good Lord! Why?"

Same problem here  Grin
I wonder if it's possible, to pack a complete hood with all sims/Houses/items in use.
Then delete the old hood (and the download folder).
And finally re-import everything. If that works it would take care of orphans and all the useless junk I keep downloading
(just another download addict)

Only the amount of work involved (without the reassurance that it's really possible) keeps me from trying.

I know u can turn a sim into a plantsim but I wanted to turn a plantsim into a normal sim the option is not there. Is it possible to add please.

Quote from: J.M.Pescado
This option is already easily accessible in-game by simply buying an anti-plantsimism potion, so it was not felt to be worth the codespace.

Well, I just had the case that the Plantsim called the Garden Club and purchased the Plantsim C Potion. But he wasn't able to drink it (because do to some weird interferences he technically was a "normal sim" (PersonalData 1 in SimPE was still set to 0x0 which is the flag for a normal Sim)but looked like the plant. So he wasn't able to use the potion..nor could he call the Garden Club again. Since I removed all Hacks/Mods and all Careers (just to be on the safe site) and still there was no change I expect another borked piece of EAxis code in BV. Neither deleting all caches nor forced Errors helped to resolve the problem (which actually doesn't make any sense to me at all)

Since FFS didn't give me the Option in question, I had to resort to lessawesome SimPE, set the PersonalData Flag to 0x100.
And since he now was recognized as a real Plantsim (only needs: sunlight love and water) the potion worked as expected.

Even tho I never heard of such bug before, I vote for inclusion of said option into FFS just to get rid of another Eaxi mess up.

Just in case:
The Link  to Mark Russinovich's Tool RegDelNull in the first post is shorted and thus broken  (you can't just copy and paste such abbreviated links and expect them to work Wink
Mind the [...]
The complete Link  is http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/Miscellaneous/RegDelNull.mspx
Now it works on Firefox and Opera as well.

While in times of AIDS and other STD, it's definitely a good thing to have a rubber in the tool box (what kind of tools btw?? Cheesy Cheesy)
I tend to go the chemical way meaning rubbing alcohol 70% (Isopropyl-alcohol or so...I just pick it up in the local Dollar store)
It is an excellent grease-remover plus the 30% Water content dissolves sugary residues (like in OJ) perfectly without damaging any material (careful with extremely shiny plastic surfaces, LCD Screens and optical lenses, like with all Alcohols) I use that stuff for decades since it's top choice for removing residue on the heads of VCRs and other Tape machines.

Quote from: Gwill
I'm not afraid of any viruses it might contain.    I'm worried about all the bugs the cracked EXEs contain.

I wouldn't worry too much about it. Usually the cracked .EXE is identical to the original one
with the exception that the check for an existing Original-CD is circumvented.
So you get exactly all your bugs back, you've come to love and cheerish, on your original CD.
In some cases (where the cracked one is significantly bigger than the original) the exe had to be extracted first (topic EXE-compactors)

No Problems so far with all the No-CD solutions I've found on GameCopyWorld and GameBurnWorld. From my experience, they're both far more reliable than PB

There is no freakin' way I'm going to shell out another $10 for a legally bought game. (I ran into that problem several times before, when myson started ruining our PS2 Discs)

No, not really....I think that's a great opportunity to claim a golden gardening badge...tend a plot, water it, harvest a little and poof...the next badge is yours Cheesy
Tha way you could keep a sim working at home and still rake in some cash.
But then again...that's just me:D

I tried Delphie's Organiser....but somehow it didn't "totally convice" me, even tho the Orphans-Option is quite nice!
I always usedSims2Clean-Installer which takes care of doubles and lets me move stuff into subfolders which are created as needed.

Ok, sorry I obviously worded that wrong.
I wasn't complaining, that this hack wouldn't work..
I was more like requesting a modification or some hints as to where to look for the Values tht haveto be altered,
to archieve the aforementioned effect.

@J.M.P: oh OK...so I just can ignore the thermometer...I'll try that.Drumroll...Whistle...everybody into the hot tub...now it's time to boil the lobster Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

Thanks!!

I tried that hack but still..after only a few minutes my sims were all in the red...and it was late Fall.
So I was wondering...would it be possible to alter the hack in a way that it works, kind of like an off-switch for the heating-unit of the (any) hot tub?
I can't see me buying a hot tub/whirl pool and heat it up to 100F in late Spring/Summer.
I would of course settle for someone who points me into the right direction to circumvent the Temperature-subroutine altogether.

Thanks
