PSA: Abandonated Mods Borked by AL
« on: 2008 August 30, 03:48:13 »
THANKS THIS IS GREAT

Well, once again it's that time when we all run around kermitflailing about all the mods by vanished creators that have been broken by the new EP.

I'll start the ball rolling by listing those abandonated mods in my downloads (see attachment) that hackdiff indicates may need an update.  Please note that these all appeared to work properly with Free Time, and as far as I know they are the most recent versions that have been released.

***ETA:  I knew I forgot something when I made this post.  If you check your own downloaded mods using hackdiff, as of the last concrete information I was able to pry out of Pescado, it's usually safe to ignore certain items that turn up as needing updates if ALL of the following are true:

1.  The only errors returned are of the "name unsupported" type; AND
2.  None of the instances listed are 0x12F, 0x130, or 0x12D; AND
3.  The mod appears to work correctly in the game and not break anything else.

This may be subject to revision, since I received this information a couple of EP's back.  But since all I can currently get Pescado to say on the subject is "It's like a sandwich, Ambular," caveat emptor.***

If you have more to add to the list that are either possibly or definitely broken as of AL, please comment below and I'll update as needed.
If you know of an update or an alternative to a borked abandoned mod, please mention that too and provide a link.
If you are a modder and are willing to check out/update/replace a mod on the list, thank you in advance and please let us know!
If a modder on the list is still alive and well and updating their stuff, comment and I will edit this post accordingly.
If you have a broken mod and don't know who made it, go ahead and post with the filename (attach if possible) and I'll put it here.  Perhaps someone will know the creator and their status.

Er...I suppose if I use any of these hacks (specifically LotFullOfSims) my game will be a BFBVFS?  Undecided

Also, I learned Squinge's PregnancyWearAnyOutfit borks the new closets (thanks to some other posters).

This is not a certainty; some mods function all right even when they throw up a hackdiff error,  but it's not wise to consider it "safe" even if it appears to work, until an experienced modder has had a look at the code.

I've got lotFullOfSims in my testing game atm and it doesn't seem to do anything terrible (no errors or hiccups). I haven't tried getting more Sims in the household yet - there's only six in my testing family.

I believe BV build/buy enabler was by Carrigon @ The Sims 2 Workshop. *shrugs*

Nukem Wall Speaker Fix.package - by Menaceman44 @ MTS2, you could ask him about it though.
ObjectsPetstoFT.package - by Me ... you DO NOT WANT, take it out even if you don't have AL! Lord Darcy said there were certain problems with the Community to Residential items I had made available in the residential catalog. However if somebody wants to make a more awesome version, go right ahead. I failed and deleted the downloads off the face of the earth! (it was because I had changed the guid's on the OBJD's and such. Unfortunately, that was a stupid mistake by me. I'm betting there is a simpler way of not borking the game, correct? Macro me please. I'm still a 12 until Thursday.

edit: I hate my shift key.

Oh, goody. That's one of those mods that I have, rarely actually use, but would really truly miss. Another is Squinge's PregandServoChangeAppearance. I see that the slightly different version is not ok. This happened last time and I kept using Squinge's hack with no problems. Dizzy's throws errors for me, as it's conflicting silently (as in it doesn't show a conflict in HCDU) with something else.

Unsuprisingly Squinge's IncreasedBills needs updating.
Also his OFB_NoBadSales hack.

Well the Gunmod camera hack won't allow zoom-out in hood view with AL.
The loss of the other hacks i can temporarily cope with, but not this one.

Shaklin's shaklin_vampkiss_more_interactions shows as needing possible updates. This makes me very sad. Definitely going to be testing it out... I really, really, really hope it's a false alarm.

Also, Squinge's OFBHireYA, but I think nolamehires allows hiring YA's, yes?

Works perfectly for me and I have all EPs and SPs.

ETA: You know you have to reinstall it every time you install a new EP right? Because the new EP overwrites the old camera files. Try re-downloading it and replacing the files and see if that works.
Hmm, well i transfered my FT camera files over to overwrite the AL ones but if you say its working then it must be.
I have uninstalled now though and I loathe to go through all that "creating pets....creating weather" malarkey again

I think my only 'abandonated' mod left in my game is crammyboy's 'no computer madness'...and so far, it's still working - but then I have only played for a couple hours with AL installed and not on my custom neighborhood...not gonna lose another one.

Based off the hack diff:
  • Age Duration Hack.package = probably deals with elders
  • AlwaysInsult.package = insult back when insulted
  • bath-shower-for-visitors-ft = not sure if this is from here
  • Caged Pet Fixes
  • Carrigon_TeleportHackFT
  • CtfG_EP5_RakeFaster.package = rake faster
  • Homework Sometimes
  • jaxad_DoorGlobalsHack = I think this goes with christian luvs all-on-one npc (B 0x7FD0DEBA 0x2046 Sub - Locked - NPC Allow?)
  • LdDarcy_MaxisMoreDecoSlot_Dresser-SlotOverlap = for more slots on dresses and stuff
  • Low Food Warning
  • MakeOutFun = this might be squige's???
  • marhis-marriage-lastnamedialog_updatedforBV
  • marhis_pizzabox_notondesk
  • No Pet Code Spam
  • Object Min Cost Want Hack = i think is for buy $$$ wants
  • OFB_NoBadSales
  • PartyNoCops
  • Perfect Plants
  • pokeshoveback
  • School bus - bring friend dialog
  • Social Sanity Fixes
  • ]Students Move Away From the Portal
  • Toddler Potty Fixes
  • Welcome Wagon Dialog
  • work-deliver3-40-20 = i believe this one will have the sim bring home pizza/food after work
  • zTwojeffs_Preg For All Genders
  • Christianlov_Controller_AllInOne = this was broken in BV, but still "works", just can't have room service in a hotel, no biggie

I'm rather upset that OFB_NoBadSales is broken.

   If i'm not mistakened, that's from Dizzy, and it's already been updated.

  • LdDarcy_MaxisMoreDecoSlot_Dresser-SlotOverlap = for more slots on dresses and stuff
   LordDarcy from THIS site and it's already been updated. 
Those were the only two (other than a gazillion from TJ's (who had already posted at HIS site that they will need updated) that caught my eye.

Subfoldering your hacks if you have some from different sites is critical. Otherwise, you're spinning your wheels every time a new EP comes out. Late to the party, I know.

Well pulling them out/ putting them back in is no problem.  I've got a program that keeps track of what I install.

sub-thought: was there ever an updated version of visitors stay longer?  BV broke it, and I kinda miss it.

  • AlwaysInsult.package = insult back when insulted
  • pokeshoveback
   I think those are Inge's (tho i'll wait on someone more awesome than me to speak up), and she says she's working on her stuff.
  • CtfG_EP5_RakeFaster.package = rake faster
          Vironin had taken over for CtfG (which had been reported at all of the threads at MTS2), and all of those mods had been updated for BV/FT, so it's not abandoned.
  • work-deliver3-40-20 = i believe this one will have the sim bring home pizza/food after work
            Also a Dizzy hack, updated.

I don't think they're Inge's.  She names all her hacks starting with the preface "ij".  If they were Inge's they'd be ijAlwaysInsult and ijpokeshoveback.

Duh moment... I forgot I saved the url for each of them...
Unfornately alwaysinsult and pokeshoveback, which was at insim, is gone.  I believe the topic title (which I normally use as the watched package title) was "Always insult when insults" and "Sims always defend yourself"  Did Inge put his/her stuff on insim?

Anyways, neither of them are really important for me.  Althought they're good at making enemies.  Smiley
