Nice to see Pes lets you out of the closet now and then, Doctor Boris. 

[J. M. Pescado]

I don't really keep him in the closet, he's just not terribly communicative. I suspect it's a ninja thing. They're not exactly known for their personalities.

[RainbowTigress]

Right.  So why is he posting all the new hacks now all of a sudden?

[Database]

Because Pescado has boycotted making hacks until a not-SimPe is released?

Lucky Dr Boris is around to come to the rescue then.

There are two versions of this in the AL directory; one in testing  dated June 2008 and one in the regular hacks folder dated Feb. 2007.  Are they the same?  I've tried both but noticed no difference.  I just reinstalled (adding 2 EPs and 3 SPs to the mix) and am having a hell of a time fixing that forced abduction (and forced alien pregnancy) jump bug.  Most information I've found directs people to this hack.

The "official" debugabductfix will only fix the memory that is created with debug-mode forced abductions. The "testing" one will fix the debug-mode interaction.
I for once have both fixes. But I'm not sure whether you need both if you have the fix from the testing folder.

Thanks Pandaah.  The testing one finally worked as advertised once I remembered to delete those pesky temp files the game dumps in the My Docs Sims folder.  I'll grab the other and rename it to be on the safe side.  Now I just have to track down which hack was causing forced alien pregnancies to jump bug on me (from my attempted research my money is on my multi PT hack).  Man I hate comping back to this game after an extended absence.  

EDIT

So I was right in that it was the multi PT hack causing me problems (due to stupidity on my part, wrong hack for the PTs I had).  But in the process of testing I discovered a conflict with the "testing" hack that someone else might run into.  I re-downloaded my multi PTs and got that working but as long as the mult PT hack package is in the downloads folder the forced abduction fix seems to be borked.  I can force alien pregnancies again but not the abductions.  I didn't think to force an error log at the time.  If someone wants it I'll do it tomorrow or something.

2nd EDIT:

Changing load order to fix another problem entirely fixed this.  As long as this hack loads before the multi-PT hack, forced abductions are peachy again.
