Atavera's Stuff (Check the entire thread)

[Hegelian]

I downloaded a bunch of guitars (and the band controller V4 which Jordi modified) but my game crashes to the desktop. I renamed the package so it would load last but am still having problems.

You might have accidentally downloaded a guitar that works only with his previous version of the band controller (I spotted a few of those in here). All the guitars I uploaded are properly named BlahblahwhateverV4, since they all require Version 4 of the Band Controller (now called Custom Instruments hack), and I believe Atavera named all the guitars he had updated accordingly.

Was anyone able to get the band controller V4 working reliably with OFB? I found that sims could not put down the guitars, even with the tipping hack removed.

[Brynne]

I don't know if I have v4 or v3. I have the custom instruments hack from March, and it works fine with OFB. All EPs, actually.

Does anyone happen to know how Atavera feels about other people updating and enhancing his work?

Atavera said,
" Lips Sealed  Well I just logged in to send a message to Wes, sorry for any confusion I caused here.  To sum things up the sims community is sort of insane and I'm done with it, moving on to other things.  I simply wanted to delete my account from MTS2(as delphy says, delete all your posts and logout), and on top of that, I don't want my name on a bunch of abandoned downloads that won't be updated or debugged anymore.  Everything that I made belongs to the public.  Anyone can repost, share, destroy, update, etc. anywhere just please don't bug me for silly permissions about it Tongue  Numenor e-mailed me saying that hes going to repost the instrument thing and support it himself, so you can check there sometime if you still need that(although i don't think anyone made anything with that so its mostly just my old guitars with fugly textures Tongue )"

[Inge]

Thanks Lemmiwinks.  In that case I may take it upon myself to update the window opening hack

[LadyLiberty]

Wow, Inge...  here's a taker for it if you do decide to do it!

[V]

Here is another taker as added incentive. 

Is it even remotely sensible to hope that one day these files will all be consolidated at the top of the thread (with brief descriptive titles for different sections)?

[ElfPuddle]

No, V. That's ruin the fun!

[V]

LOL! Yes, you are right, ElfPuddle. That would totally spoil the fun. I can't imagine what I was thinking.

[brendabond]

Sorry to ressurect, but I've been looking for the warlock bass.  Does anyone have it?

[Inge]

Someone has updated the window hack, just in case anyone stumbles onto this thread and wondered.  I have a feeling it was Numenor.

Does anybody know if the toddler blankets work post-Seasons too? Or are they not EP-specific at all, and I'm worried without needing to be?

[witch]

I'm currently using the toddler blankets post-Seasons.

[Annan]

I'm currently using the toddler blankets post-Seasons.

Awesome! Thanks.

[witch]

And I also meant to say, I'm not having any problems. I use Pescado's baby controller and there doesn't seem to be a problem with that - if the baby controller gets to the toddlers first, a sim comes to put them in the cot, if I get there first I direct the toddlers to sleep on the blankets. There don't appear to be any conflicts.

[Annan]

Okay, I downloaded the toddler blankets, which I haven't tested yet, but I also downloaded the neon letters, and I was eager to try them out. But I can't find the damned things anywhere in the build catalog! Where are they supposed to be? Do I need CEP to be able to use them (the game has warned me before that it won't work when I've downloaded things that need CEP, but didn't now). Or am I just blind, stupid, or possibly both?

[witch]

The buy catalogue? Don't know, don't use them sorry.

[kaarinah]

I'm pretty sure they are under Wall Light in the buy catalogue.

[Annan]

D'oh. I was convinced they would be decorative, and didn't even think to look in the lighting section. In the buy catalogue.

FYI ...

MTS2 has what they call ATAVERA'S CREATIONS REPOSITORY (http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?p=1530813#post1530813) where it looks like they've posted most all of his downloads.  Additionally, they have comments about "what works with what" and current versions info.  The CREATOR is listed as ATAVERA (retired).

Also, for those of you who have the Rock Hammer Guitar, it won't work with Seasons without Numenor's fix:  http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=223056

If you use the Q-Xpress downloader and installer, you can download all of the posted creations with one button.

It's good info...

Thanks so much for uploading the toddler blanket.  I lost mine when my game crashed and burned.  I was going out my mind looking for this. Thank you very much.
