BV: Anybody Updating These Abandoned Mods?

[Kristalrose]

#1:  Thank you, thank you, thank you for this thread!  I have been spending more times bouncing around from forum to forum looking for incompatilble hacks than I have actually playing BV.  And, it's good to see that there are people out there playing with more hacks than I do.  LOL

#2:  I have had the room service "bug".  I also have a bug that turns a plum bob into an urn and puts it in a female sim's ummm, neither-regions when she showers at Uni.  But, because of this thread, and one over at InSim,  I now know I was playing with a couple of incompatible mods:  Squinge's maternity clothes hack and Jordi's clothes hiders.  So, if I have it again I'll let y'all know.  I wish I would have taken a screen-shot of my sim in the shower with an urn stuck up there, that was pretty funny.

I believe TwoJeff's Visitor Controller also extends the times teens and kids can hang around (plus a whole lot more).  You can find the latest BV beta over on the inteen site.

Heh, you're very welcome, and I imagine I do play with more than you do...my total hack file count right now is 469, not including hacked objects.  XD

There have been many reports about the room service not working. The bell hop pulls out the food from under the desk and it vanishes into thin air. I have this problem too. It seems to work maybe the first time you arrive in a hotel but then stop working after that. I have used All In One in the past, but I took it out before I installed BV. Room service worked fine at first and now does not and I do not have All in One in my folder. So I am not convinced that All in One is the culprit here. On other boards, that is a lot of discussion about this and I do not believe all of those posters use All in One.

I'm having this problem, although it's intermittent (and I can't seem to nail down the exact steps to recreate it each time).  For the record, I DO NOT have All in One, so I think it's something else as well.  Where, exactly, have you seen this discussed?  I haven't been able to find much (although I admit the BBS scares the crap outta me with all their twaddle, "help me name a pet PLEASE !!ONE11").

Since I could not stand seeing my sims jumping on the piano every free second they add, I put back Squinge's  noautonomousinstruments back in the game.  I did not notice any problem other than it does not work with the new grand piano that has been added in BV.

I also put back Squinge's noautonomousdishes in since I got tired of seeing my sims cleaning up dirty plates on community lot.  I did not try vacation lot yet but I am expecting it will not work there but still will on downtown and business community lots.

Will keep you inform.

ETA:  noautonomouscomputer does work as long as the computer is closed.  If you leave it open then sims can go to it to chat autonomously.  If closed I have not seen any try that on their own.

Hmmmm maybe thats a good thing to hear then.

I'm pretty sure I followed all your instructions to run the tool. I made sure I changed the directory, I typed everything in exactly (at first I typed it wrong because I thought the 1 was an I or lowercase L) but the report came back blank. It created the txt docs and the first listed everything correctly but the report was blank. I redownloaded the file TwoJeffs provided just in case. To make sure I had the instuctions correct, I copied and pasted them onto a wordpad doc then typed everything in exactly. I tried it over and over again with the same results. I am so very much non-awesome. 

Actually, that is a lowercase L.  Are you certain you got the spacing right, also?  It should go like so:

hackdiff -i SEAp2-BVdiff.txt -l hacks.txt > report.txt

hackdiff [space] [dash][lowercase I] [space] SEAp2-BVdiff.txt [space] [dash][lowercase L] [space] hacks.txt [space] [right arrow] [space] report.txt

And you're certain that the hackdiff utility, SEAp2-BVdiff.txt, and hacks.txt are all in the same directory?  If you got a valid hacks.txt from the first command, then this should work.

Crammyboy:

Clean/Works:

CBOY_nudist_itrem.package
CBOY_nudist_naked_emitter.package
CBOY_nudist_Social.package


Need updating:

CBOY_nudist.package

 

I really hope someone will update Crammyboys nudist hack.

If it helps, I've been using the old version over the weekend, just to see what would happen.  As far as I can tell, the CBOY_nudist.package and associated mod work in all base, uni, comm, and BV lots.  It does not seem to cause loss of BV interactions and no errors have been logged in my game so far.  I'm keeping it in for now, pending further tests (i.e. sauna woohoo).

Caveat: Have not tested for hammock or sauna woohoo, but for bed and hot tub woohoo, it seems to work as per spec.

The very first time I installed BV and played I decided to play it on a clean slate. No custom content or hacks. I wanted to see what bugs I'd notice before I played with all the custom stuff. Saying all that, I think the issue with the food disappearing is a bug because I had it happen with a clean game twice. I also had it happen after I put all my CC back in. I read about this problem in another forum also.

I think what bugs me more is when they continually go order food even if they're full. I hope someone makes a fix for that soon.

I've made the BV changes to Cboy's Nudist Mode.

The files are attached below.

I in no way wish to claim credit for this mod. It is Cboy's and if he request's it to be removed then it shall be so.

UPDTAE 25/9/2007: Sims choose if they want to wear the towel or be naked for a massage, based on their naked score/Always naked/Never Naked.

UPDTAE 26/9/2007: Sims choose if they want to wear the towel or be naked for a massage or Sauna. They also choose if they wish to be naked for Tau Chi, Hot Sping or Sunbathing. Note the only thing not implemented yet is the sims being naked after woohoo in a sauna.

UPDATE 29/9/2007: This is the actual working version that I should have released on the 26th. Sorry about that.

So will somebody else do CBoys Community Time Mod please.

Patience Grasshopper, the Mod Gods work in mysterious ways and I suspect the Community Time mod is pretty complex...someone may get to it, or they may not.

My Sims (and I) thank you very much!

My Sims (and I) thank you very much! 

As do all my sims and I as well.  Many thanks.  Clothing optional hilarity continues.  My sims can continue to be shocked by their nude spouses - I especially love the "OMG!  You're naked, which is so much more disturbing than the fact that I haven't worn anything all day!" reaction.

Christianlov's Clothing Boutique shows up as clean in Hackdiff, but has anyone been able to have a new vacation Sim buy clothes successfully?  Two times I have had my Sim select a vacation Sim(while at home) to buy clothes and both times the game crashed.  I think because the vacationers are in the Sim category.  Sims have wardrobes and townies don't.  When they were trying to access the list downtown, it actually crashed without selecting a Sim.

By "vacation sim," do you mean fellow tourists or locals?  I redid all of the locals in the Asian neighborhood using christianlov's clothes rack without any problems at all.  I haven't tried to have fellow tourists buy clothes, though, so I can't report on that.

What about these...

Shaklin
medizinschrank (medicine cabinet) - I'm assuming still works
dj-booth_moremusic

Motoki ?
Buyable Work and NPC Clothes
Maxis adult clothes for A YA & E
Ya_to_A_YA_Clothing_Maxis
 - Since Jordi's toddler clothes hider is not working, I don't know if these clothing mods are.

[Scratch]

I updated swimpooltalk so that it works with Bon Voyage.  Looking through Squinges code I wasn't sure what exactly he was going for with some of it (that's the problem with moddifying other people's work).  But I've managed to eliminate the jump bug that was occuring and they still talk while in the pool so it seems to work.  Let me know if there's something odd about it.
LycosV

Thanks for updating this mod LycosV.... I've wanted this to work for a long time, since it broke after i installed an EP...
Should this work if i don't have BV installed? I just recently put in Seasons and then i found your fixed version the next day and tried it out... but (there's always a but) when i got a chance to play today.. on 2 different lots with 2 different sims i had the same error come up after the sim dived in a pool.... there were no other sims in the pool... i didn't direct the sims to dive in the pool, but both had the same error and both now have a really bad case of gas.... it's funny... the animation was interrupted when they were diving so they still have a trail of bubbles coming out of their butts...   they've changed into everyday and i forced errors on them both but they keep farting big bubbles...

I should've got a picture ...  here's the error log if it helps... I have all ep's and sp's to seasons all patched up..

Can someone please update Squinge's no autonomous reading hack please or at least look at it with the hack diff please? It is in the game, and since BV was installed (We have every exp and stuff packs), it is broken, they read whenever they want, before the whole lot could be filled with bookcases and they never picked up a book, now put one bookcase and all they do is read no matter the motive level bad or good.

Have requested it at InSim but no one has replied to it, okay it has only been 4 days.

Have tried the hackdiff, just not as awesome as you all I guess or maybe it doesn't like Vista, couldn't figure it out.

Do have the hack, because I am the one that requested it from Squinge. Not attaching it though yet until it is needed, not sure if that is allowed unless requested.

Thank You for any replies.

The toddler clothes hider is working fine for me, and as near as I can tell so are all the other clothes-hiding or recategorizing mods I have.  But I haven't tested extensively so it's possible I've missed something.  ETA: Shaklin's medicine cabinet scanned clean but I haven't had a chance to test it in the game yet, anybody else?

I have been using the medicine cabinet is working fine in my game I put it back in as soon as I installed BV

I have also noticed that the toddler clothes hider is not working.

My clothing hiders are working fine in my game with BV (some by jordi, and some made by me). All the furries are still hidden.

Haven't sims been chatting in the pool since Seasons?  Mine do and I don't have any hacks to make them do it.

[Ruann]

That sounds right.  I seem to recall some hilarity of Sims talking and suddenly standing on the water while they chatted shortly after installing Seasons.  Happened to me in Strangetown at the Smith's house.
