Title: What hack does this?
Post by: Emma on 2006 February 17, 12:19:39
My sim was playing the SSX game on the cheap Maxis computer, and a message popped up that she had gained a logic skill point from playing the game! I don't remember downloading any hack that does that. I did take a print-screenshot, but restarted my computer before I remembered to put it in paint...doh.
Here is a list of my installed hacks. I haven't installed any hacked computers either! It's a mystery.

The only one that looks like it's anything to do with skilling is the commskilling one.  None of the ones from me that you have could do that.

Okay, this was in the rtfm for the comm-skilling

FEATURES:
Controlled sims, NPCs, and townies may gain skills while visiting community
lots, including non-college community lots. Notifications of skill-point gain
will only be displayed for controllable sims.


Nothing said about home skilling, especially on computers.  ??? This is bugging me! Not that I am not pleased about her gaining a logic skill point in this way, I just want to know what caused it!

what kind of computer was the sim playing on? There are a couple of computers out there that cause skilling

Just the basic cheap maxis computer-I think it is called the Moneywell. I don't even have recolours for it!

I know Monique's computers allow you to gain skills, but I don't think you can get it from playing SSX - you have to "study" on the computer to gain the skill. Did the sim autonomously start playing SSX or did you direct them to play? Is it possible that the animation for "studying" one of the skills was borrowed from "playing"?

It was autonomous. I don't have Moniques computer either! :D This is really strange.

There's several recolors for it now and it's just not the Moneywell one.


Title: Re: What hack does this?
Post by: Emma on 2006 February 17, 16:09:33
But I don't have any computer recolours! :D Not even for the expensive one.


Title: Re: What hack does this?

Have you clicked on the computer recently - does it have any "new" options on it that shouldn't be there? Is it possible that a clone of Monique's computer was done incorrectly and instead of showing a recolor it has overwritten the Maxis original?

(Just a shot in the dark here........)

Okay, I have my game running, and I'm gonna go try it.

Just want to say thanks for the help so far :-*


Title: Re: What hack does this?
Post by: Emma on 2006 February 17, 16:30:17
No other options available other than the ones that were already there! And no recolours.

Inges community skilling does work at a private residence.  Whenever they are skilling they will get credit.  It is an awesome hack and I have never had probs with it.  It is definately a keeper.  Especially if you ever plan on using a townie.

I have Pescado's community skilling hack. I didn't know Inge had one! *goes to look*

Pfft-you sent me on a pointless mission to Simlogical? :D Shame on you!

Hope you feel better soon though-all my family has taken it in turns to be ill. Apart from me....so far.....

Well, I'm stumped.

Can you do that boolprop thing?  :P :D Do you get any kind of error or log when you shift-click the computer? Hopefully, someone who is more awesome than me (and that's most people here  :P ) will have some other ideas.


Title: Re: What hack does this?
Post by: Emma on 2006 February 17, 17:00:50
I will try that too Simmiecal ;D Ty


Title: Re: What hack does this?
Post by: Emma on 2006 February 17, 17:09:14
I just get the options to turn on, force error and break.

Whatever it is-it doesn't seem to be anything to do with the actual computer.
