Some who play that one challenge that runs through time periods (I can't recall the name) play that way for generations. No phone, no lights, no tv, etc. I've kind of done it in poverty challenges, but only for a day or two.

Uh, how in the world do you get that from what I said?

I've heard of a challenge that I don't play. That makes me lack a social life? Wow. What the hell was going on last night, when some of my guy friends came over to play Wii and drink DT? And last weekend, when I went to Ravinia? Hallucinations. Must be.

I almost decided to just post something about wondering when school would start back up, but decided to try to point out lameness. Kind of failed.

All tard-mockery aside, I really can't stand dark rooms in the real world or in the game. They bum me out. I would not be a fan of such challenges, I don't think.

Bit of a lame mini game.
Yeah, it doesn't exactly sound difficult...at all. And what the hell does a wind generator do anyway? Make it so that future power outages don't matter? That's no fun.

I still have the wind generator in my game, (from MTS2). Basically, it moves...and it lowers the household bills by a certain amount.

* Has an afterthought. *

Originally, there was supposed to be a Power Outage scenario, a Meet Your Future-In-Laws scenario, and an Entertain-Your-Employer scenario. I think that the Headmaster scenario is the only mini game that EAxis kept in TS2.

Isn't the Entertain Your Boss scenario supposed to be resurrected for TS3? If it is, I wonder if they'll put any effort into implementing the Power Outage or Meet the Fockers? Boss & In-Laws would probably fall along similar lines to the Headmaster dance, but the failure penalty for each could theoretically be a lot more drastic. Of course, the fact that I'm pondering these ideas with some curiosity and interest means they will not be included.

There was an object called Mad Scientist "Bustin Out" Tesla Coil,
it was made by Wintermuteai1 and I downloaded it at MTS2.

wintermuteai1 wrote:
"What the Object Does:
Upon placement, you will see the Tesla coil with arcs of electricity running around it.
(note: the arcs of electricity are actually somewhat in front of it, but it looks great.)
The Main Function "Use Tesla Coil" must be used with caution, as it will result
in a lighting storm, and the subsequent power outage(i finally found a USEFUL
way to integrate it...lol) So use with caution. In the past some people have reported various errors with using any type of Weather features."

Unfortunately it did not work for me. The Power Outage made my game crash. (So maybe it DID work, in a way...)

I would never trust a hack from someone who used "LOL" in the description and had issues finding their SHIFT key. Coding requires precision.

Unfortunately, that seems to be 90% or more of all the modders out there. And I don't mean just for The Sims.

C students don't commit fully to their projects. Chances are that a "C student" modder is not going to support their mods. Why put something in your game that is going to blow up at a future date?

If anyone actually cares, I have a hack coming soon that does a lot of things with power and water. It should also re-enabled the Power Outage Scenario. Been working on this for months it seems, but it is almost done.

Many of the newer objects from newer EP/SP don't actually turn off when the electricity is shut off. And the objects are still usable even when the power is off. But I have fixed most of them so far.

It should be very cool!

I remember it vaguely. No electrical devices could be interacted with and switched off immediately. The ceiling and wall lights still worked however...  Undecided The Windmill supposedly provides power to your sims so they don't have to pay their power bill, basically meaning it just lowers the bills.

I also remember trying the Boss scenario. The phone call worked, a boss NPC was generated but no one came and the scenario aborted immediately. Obviously, there's not much left of it.

What's this about a Future In-Laws scenario though? I've never heard about that one.

I actually heard something about it back in the TS1 days, and that it was possibly linked to the upside down face bug that popped up when Unleashed came out. Unfortunately, my memory of it is hazy.
