Well under the circumstances of my recent blow job (no pun intended) I am gonna put all the hacks in and go for it. I mean whats the worse that can happen right. I will just keep all my downloads on my c drive and on my new f drive. Might even throw one on my husbands computer just to make sure sure sure that my hair is where I can get it without repaying for it.

I guess I'll do option #1 but I won't be putting it back in batches, I'll just throw everything back into the game due to the fact that my download folder is a mess and hacks and regular files coexist with one other and nothing is organized . So if it doesn't work it doesn't work. I'm sure we'll find out soon enough which hacks work with it and which do not.
I'll be optimistic and just hope for the best <fingers crossed>.
BTW, has anyone heard of anyone getting it yet?

Singapore has it. I called EB this morning and they hadn't gotten today's shipment in, so they may still get it today, but it's scheduled tomorrow.

Careers have always goofed up with each expansion pack, I don't think it will be any different with OBF.
That's odd; from everything I've heard, careers are one of the few things that were virtually unaffected between Uni and NL. Did I miss the memo? O_o |

I hope my copy arrives tomorrow (preordered from EA)
I'm going to back up my EAGames folder, remove my hacks folder and have at it. If the game plays ok, I'll start adding things back in just to see.

When I get OFB I'll just do what I always do, uninstall TS2 and reinstall with no downloads other than ones that I know will work like clothing, sims, etc.
I don't "pre-order". What would happen if the store says "Sorry, we're not getting *Insert Game Name Here* until a month after the release date"? Then your preorder would be worthless, because the fact you do it is to get it the day before or the day on the release.

Y'know, I think I am the kind who will walk in and stomp on anybody's toes whose feet are in the way. I just remove my d/load folder, no if's, not but's.

The first thing I will want to do is play, so I'm going to copy the my documents/TS2 folder elsewhere, delete the downloads folder, untick the read-only box on all the objects.packages then install and hope for the best. But to avoid nastiness in my current 'hood I'll create a new one for testing out the new EP. When I've had my bit 'o' fun, I'll weed through the various hacks and tweaks to remove obsolete ones (toddler mirror from mts2 for example) and check here for compatibility reports from other players on various hacks (Saturday I'll have it hopefully) before plunging into the test hood to see if things appear normal. It may take a day or two playing before I put the downloads folder back initially though, I like to see how long I can last without hair, clothes and objects lol.

I am so looking forward to that damn cc warning window from EA warning about enabling or disabling custom content.I cannot rem how I got rid of that window the other time. But I expect it to appear again this time round.
Come to think of it, the windowmight have disappeared after I checked "enable Custom content" a few times.
BTW,I cannot imagine how I am going to live without Monique's computer. I have a feeling that wil goof up the game.

What features of the computer do you use? I eyed it for a while wanting the shop-at-home stuff, but eventually found alternate methods to do almost all the features I wanted from it (since it had a number of features I didn't want).

It's been a while but I think you can disable the CC warning window from the game options menu. |

It's been a while but I think you can disable the CC warning window from the game options menu. I see. Thanks so much for remindng me! I must add it to my list of things to do for installation  For her computer, I use it to extend a housing loan to sims who cannot afford my cc for their houses. I don't cheat . I hate cheating in the game. I make them pay back the $ later. I also do online shopping. I hate to go to lots to browse. Its bad enough to do it in RL not to mention in game.I hate shopping. And I use it to change stupid party guests to whatever outfit I want them to be in. Now, I cannot imagne living without that. |

Hm, Inge's mortgage shrub from Simlogical would probably replace the loan function handily (it also needs to be paid back later, and has interest), and christianlov's hacked clothing rack, available at MTS2, should handle the rest.

not worthless for me, I pre-order so I don't have to find a ride to the stores that are 45 mins away in the hope of finding it  |

Whether you remove your other custom content or not, the CEP should be uninstalled before installing any new EPs.

Colour Enabler Package - or something along those lines. Its the file you need for recoloured objects and stuff to show ingame.

After you guys get OFB, how are you going about it? 1. Backup existing folder, then install with the hacks/ careers blah blah in downloads folder. and be philosophical if it doesn't start right? Before restoring backup and reinstall without download folder? 2. Take out download folder and install OFB. Put downloads one batch at a time into the game. I am risk taker. I am going for option 1. How about u? just curious. I don't have that much time to play with option2. Most people said careers might be the screwy one. How much truth is there in that?  Both of these sound careful to me. I would aim to do no.1 unless I get distracted and just load it up anyway (did that with University). |
