By the way: Ragged lines are back again - although nocorruptdeath is on (and this time I am definietely using the latest version of the hack).

Ragged lines under what circumstances, though? It seems like the Bad Mouth interaction after a Sim has become furious will generate them no matter what and isn't related to the usual dangerous buggy causes.

I am getting ragged lines as well in my self-sim.  I don't know what is was for, exactly, as I was about to give birth to twins (the baby icon?).  I waved my hands in the air, special events cam zoomed in, and there were the jagged lines above my head.

The reason your sims (Servo or otherwise) keep picking up their forks and then putting them down is because they are FULL, and therefore cannot eat that! However, the AI is obsessed with eating everything in sight, and so will likely keep trying until something else grabs their attention, but they definitely should not be allowed to eat that! If you're seeing sims do this, that means it is WORKING CORRECTLY at preventing them from eating things they shouldn't. The fact that they can't think of anything ELSE intelligent to do is NOT an excuse for letting them finish doing something even more stupid.

Well that makes sense, those sims were never very smart about chosing the right things to do. 

However, it doesn't make much sense for the servo to me. Can you add no autonomous eating to the not autonomous do chores servo hack at some point maybe? He really is a pig that's obsessed with food and there's no sensible reason for it.

I believe this was broken as of NL, and is no longer officially supported. 

The fasterbuyclothes hack is in the OFB DC with a modified date of 3 2 06

[PlayLives]

right. that's the one I'm using.

Two times when I was game testing in Veronaville with a CAS-Sim from the new Maxis businesszone. At that time I barely noticed it and did not mind since it is not my gameplaying hood (and Veronaville seems to have been bugged anyway from the start).
Last time in my neighborhood when a Sim I have been playing for a long time was visiting a business on another residential lot (not beeing playable therefore at that time). She was talking to her aunt, who is running the business, but I noticed too late to switch to the playable Sim and see what the topic was. I cannot remember her having any furious reactions since her birth, but I will check her memories. And I have had furious reactions pre-OFB, but never any ragged lines (but I am also bad mouthing extremely rarely...). I will look into that. I would be happy if this is nothing serious. But I never had ragged lines in endless hours of game playing NL, and now three times in two evenings with OFB?

The fasterbuyclothes hack is not working the way it used to. Now, no matter where a sim is standing if you click on a clothes rack the clothes choser will appear and they will pull a pile of clothes out of the air (even through objects & other sims) and walk to a changing both. Before they would at least walk over to a rack before the clothes choser would appear.

Should be resolved now.

I'm going straight from base game to OFB.  I have hacks in my game that were "out" as of NL.  I guess that means I can take them out when I get OFB
computerchatfix
nocheeringhack
nostrangerdance
notwoniechildren
weddingpartyfix

Thankyou for keeping that thread on critical base game/Uni fixes.  It helped me.

how about this one?

[EDIT - now I see it in the OK list... sorry]

I have found out that noroadpillows simply doesn't work anymore, at least for my home business.

[Jelenedra]

Mmkay, I've been having a problem since I started putting hacks back into the game after cleaning out my downloads bin for OFB. After playing the game for a while my computer TOWER (not the speakers) starts making these weird sounds that sound like a siren. No message ever pops up when I have debug mode on and the sounds USUALLY stop if I go into the options menu on the game, but whenever I return to live or buy mode the sounds return. It's very annoying. Currently trying to determine what hacks are doing it. But it's a slow process. Has anyone else had this problem? I know it's related to the Sims, because it only happens while I'm playing it. 

EDIT: Well it appears it is not caused by my hacks. As I removed the entire folder and it still happens. So now I am stumped. Unless it is caused by Gunmod's radiance lighting or his camera fix. I haven't tried that yet... *sighs* I don't want to dump my downloads AGAIN.

Looks good.

cwykes: I'm glad to see you getting this one, and getting A LOT of fixes along with it. 

I'm a sucker so I bought the other expansions but they really didn't impress me that much as I don't think they added all that much. This pack I feel really does at a lot of new gameplay elements and IMO is the first one I can say is really worth it.

[siggylove]

I can't live without ltw - sanity/variety. 

I agree with you on that one, and like you, I still haven't managed to get a paranormal ltw!  Fightclub's another hack that I rely on, in fact, JM's a bit of a bruiser in my game and doesn't hesitate to slap someone who annoys him! 

[Ruann]

I still haven't managed to get a paranormal ltw! 

That's because it doesn't exist.

[J. M. Pescado]

So if it uses its own datafiles, is it a version of the files with all the fixes in up to that date, or do the old problems with the other expansions still pop up?  I've not been playing aspects of the other expansions lately since I've been doing business stuffs. Also, I've noticed corrupt memories now and then, (the squiggles over their heads).

Unresolved issues often remain unresolved, and new issues sometimes appear or recur in a different way.

It sounds like maybe your CPU is overheating and your motherboard is trying to alert you to this fact.

[Jelenedra]

That was a lot of people's first guess as well, but it has stopped since I took out all my downloads and reinstalled them. One of them must've been doing something. *shrugs* As long as it doesn't happen anymore, it's all gravy.

[MissDoh]

Now what is still compatible after the installtion of the OFB patch?

How about the new hacks like nolamehires etc.

Can't wait to have a report on this 

[jdanddpt]

can someone please confirm whether or not the coffeecuphack was updated and OK for OFB? i've searched this whole site (and this whole post) with no definite answer... i see a couple people are using it, but is it still considered dirty or not?
thanks in advance.

[Venusy]

Well, it's in the OFB hack directory, and the RTFM says it's fine for OFB, so I'll say yes, it is compatible.
