Every conversation my "me" Sim has, involves him sticking a finger in the air and announcing "Hamm Lataplatti". I think it's something to do with a Scandinavian Rally driver...

Sid Meier's latest Pirates! game (I think the aptly named Hook has been playing this, too) has some great Simlish dialogue. Obviously an early dialect, and you can tell the differences between the Dutch, French, English and Spanish.

If you don't like the noise, there's a ramp fitted at the back so you can go for a walk... 

Happy birthday, although I'm guessing it's not that good a day if you're posting on here instead of getting buttocked in the pub. Whoops! I mean served in the pub. It's easliy done, isn't it?

We are young! I'm only 44, for instance. 

Not sure about RUN in the politics career. I used it twice and had a bad result both times. HIDE (as in Pescado's list) is probably the right one.

No Influence Obsession (v1b) for TS2U v1.0
Made by: Flying Fish Systems (J. M. Pescado & Doctor Boris)

CHANGES:
Reduces the obsessively irritating "influence someone to do something that
doesn't need doing" wants. Sims will only exhibit influence wants during
a narrow window of influence-opportunity between having a half-full influence
bar and being filled (after which they learn you are not playing silly
influence games and stop asking).

Brynne had a screenshot with the name of the eyeshadow/veggie hack in the thread "damn alienware hack". But it's not showing up now. Perhaps she still has a copy? You might find a thread about the hack at MTS2.

Unless she has a flame thrower in her inventory that's probably not the case... 

In one of the NL threads, Mr. Maxoid was offered a highly populated neighbourhood to test, but declined saying "we can generate high population NHs ourselves" (or something similar). I bet that those Maxis HQ neighbourhoods aren't the same as one that has been played to that size. It wouldn't take long for them to realise the constant phone ringing is a royal pain in the ass. Especially when you get "why haven't you called? CLICK" and think "OK I'll ring you back and talk if that's what you want" only to get "so and so is at work unlike someone I know". WTF? Then gimmee his work number, dammit! If he can ring me from work with a crank call he can accept a call from me! I'd bet a million simoleons that if Maxis had played a neighbourhood to a decent size they would have spotted the jump bug a bit sooner, too.

No no no! Most Brits throw a fit if you use the word soccer. To them, there is only one football, the one that has Beckhams and Rooneys and so on. They seem to forget about Rugby League Football, Rugby Union Football, Aussie Rules Football, Canadian Football and good old American Football. Go Panthers, by the way. 

That was the bit of installation advice we didn't give you - don't bother because it's boring. 

Your sims have LTW now, which is the main reason I got Uni. So you can have some fun with that. Getting a 4.0 GPA and 1200 simoleons a month is so easy (even with a CAS YA with no skills) that you'll soon have a dorm with all the skilling equipment, expensive beds and whatnot that your sims won't even have to leave the building except for the final exam.

Get the comm skilling hack BTW, so your dormies can gain skills sitting in front of the TV or playing chess. If you decide to make them playable later they won't appear to be quite so "retardo". 

I got some nice skins from ParadiseSims (I think). Male bits are "asleep" and "subtle" if you get my drift. 

*drools over PC specs... 

No, my error logs still own yours, and no crashes in CAS. You could go into options and try turning off the music, If you want to eliminate that from your suspects. You could try removing all your custom hair/makeup/clothes and see if it is a dodgy download causing it.

I suppose I should go into CAS later and make sure mine hasn't decided to lock up in sympathy. 

That looks exactly like my error log.

No crash to desktop, though. Although I seem to generate more and more errors each time I play, and some weird jump bug effects appear to be creeping in now. Had a sim jump out of using the Medical Reward yesterday, causing him to drop his queued actions, too. Wouldn't have minded too much but the thing stayed bleeping for hours. 

Got lots of "missing bone" errors in the logs too. Anyone know what they are?

Yep, make sure everyone is home before saving. I tend to save each household at night, when everyone is asleep and no actions are queued (and after about 2am just incase the burglar is making his/her rounds).

After installing Uni, the sims should be stood at the side of their beds with plenty of green bars ready for fun and games.

The stuck bills bug might hit regardless of which day you save, you'll probably get a clue if the postie walks past the box without even stopping. Like said above, the ffslotdebugger will sort that out.

I'm another that waits a while before buying games - most of the bugs are identified and patched, players have had time to see if a game has lived up to the hype, and the price is usually a fraction of what it was when released. 

Although I did buy Simcity4 and Sims2 full price and before I even had a computer to run them... Yeah, don't listen to me I'm an addict. 

   

Excellent! That's the best reason I've seen for me to buy Nightlife. 

Thanks for that, I might put off a few impending moves for a while then.

Can I ask a question about the inventory? Is it possible to put sim-created paintings and photos in there and take them when you move?

Just thought of something else I'd like to see addressed in a patch/future expansion.

Townie/NPC name generation. How many Marylena Hamiltons and Dagmar Bertinos can you stand? The game even ships with two (unrelated) Ivy Copurs for flip's sake! Why no Dagmar Le Tourneau or Tosha Hamiltons? Surely Maxis can produce a bit of code to pick a random first and second name not just repeat the same pairings?

ps please don't say "as designed" or I will be forced to smashinate my keyboard. 

Depends how much is in your tip jar. 

Actually, you could be one of my dormies - I made the mistake of buying a piano for one of my dorms. Flipping dormies sitting there plink plonking for 24 hours at a stretch (never getting any better) drove me nuts.

OK, time for what seems like Baddmark's unique bug:

Levitation causes the floor tile underneath to become unselectable and "blocked", much like a stuck kicky bag.

Sell the fishtank and get a dishwasher and coffee machine - hours of fun for the maid and a refreshing drink for your sims!

My beef with the censor blur was that it made taking screenshots a pain - the blasted thing showed through walls and floors.

I think Maxis cloned the scanner from some type of sex toy that never made it into the final game. Or maybe Sims2 has a hidden "hot coffee" mode like GTA:San Andreas. I hope Jack Thompson doesn't find out about this... 

From what he's told us about the amount of hair on his face, it's more likely he's a werewolf.
