But I don't get this ' if you don't know what it is, leave it alone' thing. If I don't know what something does, I click on it immediately to find out. I guess that's how I learned to use programs to start with (when I went to school there weren't no such thing and 'round my neck of the woods, manuals are for wusses - only to be resorted to in major desperation.)
When I got the game, I found out all the codes I could and clicked on everything (along with going through all the menu options I could find and trying as much as I could) and I do the same thing with each new EP, including opening all the codes I know and clicking on all the new menu items I can find.
Exactly - that's how people learn. Well, it's how I learn anyway. If I don't know what it is, poke it. You generally can't mess up computer programmes too much (unless you have a major poke about) and, as Rainbow says, if you're going to do this, back up first. And then you can always reinstall if you really bugger it up. |

Trouble is, you don't always know when something is stuffed, sometimes you go on playing for a while before anything bad happens. I think I was one of the early ones to use Tom's Clothing Tester, It took me ages to figure out the career stuffups were connected to the clothing tester.
Mind you, it hasn't put me off debug mode, I just do what everyone else does and have a test hood.

Of course, we know the answer to all life's problems is buying a new computer.  Really? Whatever happened to 42?! |

I admit I haven't tried that one myself. I have had the 'I wonder what that does?' thought though. |

I admit I haven't tried that one myself. I have had the 'I wonder what that does?' thought though. I played with that one a few months ago, and realised a few hours later that Christy Stratton was completely invisible and unselectable. It was fun trying to figure out how to turn an invisible townie back into a visible sim, I did fix it though with a combination of the TL&D and lots of trial and errors. I scrapped that hood shortly after nightlife came out so didn't notice any career problems. Don't forget your Towel! |

Let's just say it affected me more than the caffeine I'm greedily consuming to try to wake up! Research can be soooooooooo boring sometimes! Thank the gods for MATY! Now where's my bloody coffee...?

More coffee anyone?? Hell yeah, preferably served with an IV kit! The bugger takes AGES to get absorbed and redistributed by the gastrointestinal tract! Or so it seems to me...! |

I'm replying, which means I'm able of coherent thinking and acting. Which means I'm alive. Which means blood is still surging through my veins. Dunno, I guess I have a couple of'em left... And hey, gyro and pita is MUCH healthier than McDonald's (and American fast food in general) crap! |
