Title: ZOMFG customisable lights! Is that an AM feature or a 1.7/1.8 feature? Post by: pbox on 2010 January 18, 02:19:06 I've just discovered that lights are completely customisable now - I can't only select from a few predefined lollipop colours and three intensities like before, but enter any colour and intensity numerically. Killer feature!
(http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d124/pbox/zomfglights.jpg) I haven't seen this documented anywhere; is this an AM feature or did EA do this? It's almost too good to be EAxian (OTOH it does have a typo, so perhaps it is). Title: Re: ZOMFG customisable lights! Is that an AM feature or a 1.7/1.8 feature?

Eh, it's not worth the bugs. Title: Re: ZOMFG customisable lights! Is that an AM feature or a 1.7/1.8 feature? Post by: Inge on 2010 January 18, 19:24:41 There's no bugs in the patch (apart from EADM, which a simguru gave instructions how to replace) that are not caused by broken CC made with broken tools.

Title: Re: ZOMFG customisable lights! Is that an AM feature or a 1.7/1.8 feature? Post by: Tangie on 2010 January 19, 22:42:57 I was thinking the same thing. Besides the CC issues, which admitedly have been a large part of the problem, people have also reported glitches and stupidity (it's hard to tell which) in game play such as adventures that prematurely abort, disappearing Pangu's axes, and having their sims be renamed and given children when arriving in vacay lands. The latter happened to me twice, once when arriving in China and once in Egypt. The sim had the mourning moodlet and in both cases he were given the name of the foreign "wife" who had died, along with a child or two, one of which was a sworn enemy. I promptly quit without saving both times. I wasn't going to update at all until EA fixed all the problems with the patch, until this started happening in my game and I saw that Awesome fixed this issue. Unfortunately the game must have already been on a roll because it still happened one more time after I updated and installed AM. But at least my sim wasn't given a new foriegn name and I was able to sever the relationships with Twallan's super computer. Of course I've had no problems with this particular issue since updating and installing AM, but yesterday I couldn't get my sim home early from an adventure in France because my game kept crashing every tiime I tried. Before that I had a sim stuck in a rabbit hole and couldn't get him out no matter what I tried until I used the resetworld command, which obliterated my family inventory. Stupid EA.
