Hmm, MATY.
You know I just have to go see what they are on about now, don't you. Soon soon. Edit. MATY = JMP promo show? Well, what more can you expect of some one who claims to be an "obstroperous jerk"? I will admit to plundering the site for hacks, but that's about it. Too much dismissive mouthing for me to want to actually chat. Last edited by shorty943 : 08-12-2007 at 06:28 AM. |

If you're doing a study on the psychology of hate cults, I'm sure you will enjoy the experience.
Now for the good news: I just posted a little tutorial about How To Fix Cheerleaders in the Help section.

Cheerleaders need some fixing at best. Either that, or I just don't get it. The "Rah Rah" boys and the Ivy League stuff I mean. |

I only go to MATY when I really need to rip someone beyond the limits of what's allowable here or on InSim. For some reason, no one messes with me there. Maybe they remember me long ago ripping someone a new one for implying that using proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation was something to insult... of course, I used proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation to do so!
For your InSim/InTeen problem, what're the names of the folder they live in? You might need to add "z" to the beginning of the folder that's currently earlier in alphabetical order. |

Baby, you got under that skin. Not joking. I read it tonight, in the site FAQ. Waffleing on about how it is an INSULT to use bad grammar and syntax. I'm still chuckleing about it, someone really rattle a cage in that hole. On the Tech side? I fixed my InSim\InTeen problem in my own inimitable fashion. InTeen caused headspace problems, InTeen had to die. No more problem. |

In general, poor grammar, etc. will get you poked with sticks over there, so when I send someone, I tell them not to post, just snag the hacks. I did gently slap JMP once. I was debugging GrowUp for Syberspunk and hit Submit to make sure my flaky browser wasn't going to lose my bug report on me. Although I put "partial post, will finish in a few minutes due to flaky Internet" at the bottom, JMP jumped in and said "Genius, don't do that!" So I ripped on him why I did want to do that and that this was a bug report that Ste (Syberspunk) had asked for (as well as finishing my original bug report). Quote:
ACR lets my teens woohoo with each other (after they've both got the 8K in college scholarships, of course). Other than a slick interface, I'm not seeing much in InSim that I can't do with SimPE or a bunch of other hacks, which I can remove one at a time if I don't like them. <flaps her Software Engineer business card at Greg> Last edited by Miros1 : 08-12-2007 at 04:18 PM. |

The sad thing about MATY is that- buried waaaaaayyyyyy underneath that drama, misinformation & genral evilness* that is prevelant- every so often there is an actually helpfull hack/mod or problem related thread posted there...I've just grown weary of having to put on my hip waders in order to find them! *evil is a pretty strong word, but I really feel it fits in this case.

Yup! I know lots of software engineers who love to do things the hard way! On the other hand, there are others among us who are more interested in actually playing the game than playing with a pile of spaghetti code.

Yeah, but by doing it the hard way, you also know how to fix related problems. If you rely on some slick little hack, you're stuck waiting for a new hack to solve some problem that crops up.

Lady M,
S'alright if you can code. I can't read or write code for crap. Forget it, no right brain or some stupid thing. So I have to rely on gincky little hacks to save my bacon. And that ZW, is probably why I can find conflicts the author didn't even know could happen. AGAIN. I honestly don't understand why it would not work. A complete un-install, right back to deleting the EA folder. Re-install every expansion pack, after the base of course, in order of release. Then, with only InTeen installed to it's own sub-folder in EA\Sims 2\Downloads. The game crashed on load up. Got rid of it. Many thanks to the coders of the world. I do however, run power stations. At least I used to until I had to retire. Want compute? Need lectrickery. See, it's symbiotic. People can't get on with out each others help. I like that thinking. When it comes to poking with sticks, I am pretty good myself. I kept getting emails from a site I found less than polite, so I flagged them as spammers. Nyah, nyah, nyah. Insult me will they? One little red wagon fixed propper good. Kaylyn, same here friend. When a second hand Kenny can run to over 1\4 million Aus dollars. That is a company owned truck and trailer set. That set up is known as a "B Double", then comes the "C" and the "D". We run them up to quads "D", on the "outback" roads. 4 x 40 foot trailers in a row, we call them "Road Trains", and you get out of the way stupid car driver. Each trailer swings further off line than the one in front of it. Give the rig driver room, or he\she can make all the room he\she needs with a small flick of the wheel. Not a real lot of owner drivers here either. Those that are, usually sub-contract to the big boys, and haul trailers owned by the company. Me? I owned a small (3) fleet of body trucks. Being a country boy, it was for the traditional work of "woodgetting". Provisioning of fuel for heating and cooking, the old fashioned way. Driven other peoples, Volvo's, Atkinson's, Mack's, International's, British Bedford's, Ford's, and some with no name. Sort of the Bitsza look what i made thing, for special farm or other work. My favourite? A Marmon Herrington, British built, WW2 Ford V8 power, several gearboxes later there was a transfer case and nearly as many wheels as an 18 wheeler. Built for desert warfare, fantastic for desert farm work. Oh, now I miss it. It was not fast, but there was not a cliff it could not pull a Mack or Kenworth up. Big old side valve Ford V8 bellowing, dirt and rocks going every where from spinning multi axle drives, she was a fun truck. |

Hmmm...
The documentation about Inteenimator says it needs to be in the main Downloads folder, not in a subfolder. That might have been your problem, Shorty. On the other hand, I'm going to try uninstalling Inteenimator and see if the problems I am encountering go away. The most noisome problem is that characters modified with Christianlov's Skintone Selector and Danny's DMA toys don't stay modified when they are reloaded.

Hmmm, could be. Must have had the specatacles on the wrong eyes.
No great problem, I've used InSim since the Base Game, I just use a spare household room for hack objects. Most of Christian's mods are as stable as a rock, but that skintone selector is wobbly as jelly. Strange about that. Danny's DMA stuff I didn't bother reinstalling because a lot is sort of redundant in my game now. Actually, there would be probably half the hacks etc in my game I just don't use. And, the day I decide to have a cull. The sky will fall on chicken sims head. |

And then the black-spotted dog will eat them.
I'm sure I have lots of redundant functions among the hacks I have installed but I still install The Trinity* in every house because I'm so used to using them. It's rather like having the cruise control on the Ford's steering where and then going to drive a Chevrolet where it's on the turn signal lever. ---------- *The Trinity is Merola's Mind Control Mirror flanked by Danny's two toys. With those three things, you can do about 95% of the nifty hacky stuff I do in my game!

No, white dog, with black spotted ears, is a good boy.
Not too many wild cats left in the area though. Which is a good thing, because we have a real feral cat problem here. We have some of the rarest and beautiful native creatures, and the feral cat (and foxes) do massive damage. We have been lucky with some, the Bilby http://images.google.com.au/images?q...mages&ct=title http://home.iprimus.com.au/readman/bilby.htm for instance was thought to be extinct until a man named, Dr. John Wambsley found a couple and managed to get them breeding. That's the man who says the neighbours cats make great hats. Google Earth Sanctuaries, or Warawong Sanctuary. |

OOH, Bilbies are neat! Of course, most marsupials are neat. All we've got are stupid possums.

We have possums too. From the "Brush Tail" as big as a small\medium dog, the "Ring Tail" the size of a large cat, to the tiny "Sugar Glider" not much bigger than a mouse. The bigger possums have got some attitude, pretty much endemic all over, and the Sugar Glider is a rain forest dweller. All are vegetarian, eating fruits and nectars. Most are quite tasty. Oops did I say that? Must be the Hillbilly coming out again.
For the best info on our native critters, http://www.austmus.gov.au/factsheets/ the Australian Museum web site fact sheet page. There's lots. |

Omigoodness. Your possums don't sound like our possums!

Maybe it was the knife and fork you had in your hands.
