THANKS THIS IS GREAT

I have a teen who just recieved the undead scholarship. I didn't really expect it, but it made sense to me, since he was a vampire. As I do with most memories, I read what it said. Apparently, he got it for being a zombie, but he's not a zombie. Was this scholarship updated to include vampires? The memory sure wasn't. If not, I have an awfully strange bug.

Hmmm... interesting. I had a teen roll up the want to receive that scholorship. I assumed when she rolled it that she wanted to be a vampire like her mother. Then I read the description. I had no desire for her to be a zombie so just let it go. If the scholorship really does work for vampires as well that would be an entirely different matter.

Yes, it was updated for vampires, but Maxis neglected to update the text.

I think I read around here somewhere that is just another case of Maxis being sloppy--they updated how it works to include vampires, but forgot to change the text to say so.

If someone wanted to write new text to override the stupid text, how would they go about doing so?

Most likely it is located in Live.package. You would have to extract the text entry, import it into a new package, and call it Live.package. Calling it anything else won't work. The same way, the "there are TWO babies on the way" could be changed to something better for those people who are using the Triplets&Quads hack (that always annoys me). And it's also the same file that has the sim names, so if you are using a replacement (Jordi made one, I think), you will have to import any new text changes that you make into the existing one, since I can't imagine the game would like having two Live.package files in the Downloads folder at the same time.

Hmm, that shouldn't be too hard if I can find the text entry in the first place.  It does annoy me enough to go through the trouble of doing just that.
