If you have tested mods and you want to post your findings here, I will update this post with your information.  If you think the status of a mod should be changed or corrected, please post here.

Thanks

Edit: alphabetized lists

I think someone mentioned this in the other thread too, but noassignmentlitter causes dormies to pop out of the interaction when they try to do an assignment. Thanks for pulling everything into one list!

I thought someone said the autoyak is still working but not the phone mod itself...no?

I thought it was both, let me know if i'm wrong and i'll change it.

I think what you have listed is accurate.  The autoyak functions themselves are working, but the icon in the queue is mislabeled as Groups...Manage Groups.

Karen

well, good I am glad you cleared that up, I was thinking about putting that one back in. I suppose I can wait.

I think the notownieregeneration and possibly other regeneration hacks are causing problems with downtown lots. I kept getting errors from the lot populator controller (something like that). Here's the link where I posted the problem:

http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php?topic=618.0 

My lots did not have any other sims on it with until I took those out.
This is from my own experience, so I can't say I'm 100% positive, but it made sense to me.

So far the final exam fix is working.

Is that the college clock or something else...or does that belong to 2J?

The A+ cheer has been toned down significantly in NL, they only cheer the first time they get an A+. If you want to get rid of the cheer entirely you still need the hack.

And I think you can add the "Nogreekmadness" to the list of hacks that are inoperative with NL. I sent a sim to a campus with no greek houses on it last night and she got the want to join a greek house.

What interactions are missing with the noeatcrap?

Jen

As a rule of thumb, any hack that overrides a social interaction will interfere with nightlife.  They have completely overhauled the social globals, to the extent that a call to a semi-global may not be the same routine as in previous versions.

I believe when you try to flirt by eating from your partner's plate and vice-versa feeding your partner from your plate.

Jen, as nothingbutsims says, apparently the person to person interactions while eating are gone.

Added nogreekmadness and notownieregeneration to broken

Nonpcspam works as well, thank goodness. 

I'm not sure if novanishindorms specifically fixes the problem with dormies disappearing into other dormies' rooms and staying there forever or just with visitors, but it's not working with dormies.

As far as I can tell, autosoc, noinfluenceobsession, antiprankhack, and nogizmowants appear to be working without issues.

Just want to say thank you, thank you, thank you.  :)

I used the college clock to get a couple of YA's through their last two years and graduated (high time they got married and added to the gene pool) and didn't experience any problems.

Hmmm... I still have dailygardner in my game.  I haven't had any problems with the matchmaker after my first run.  She shows up on the lot on day one.  I have had sims socialize with her and say goodbye.   I have not tried asking for a match.  What problems are people noticing?

The text of the Call Service...Matchmaker dialog comes up blank if dailygardener is installed.  At least that's been my experience.

Karen

Oh.  Thanks for the info.  I'll miss my daily gardener, but I'm going to take it out until JM updates it.

I thought manual navigation disabled some of the vampire modes of transportation like fly here (they turn into a bat!)

I haven't checked manual navigation, can you confirm that it doesn't work in vampire mode?

I take back what I said about the noprankhack. It does stop Sims from pranking each other left and right, but that's because the prank menu is missing with the hack in.

Prank switched to broken

I've been compiling a list based on what other posters are saying in other forums. Various users claim that the following JM hacks are working with Nightlife:

abortbedmaking.package
coffeecuphack.package
continuouspaint.package
easybreakup.package
fasterbuyclothes.package
manual-navigation.package
nocheeringhack.package
nocollegeobsession.package
nogizmowants.package
noinfluenceobsession.package
norandomcrush.package
norandomflirtwants.package
novelprogress.package
nowhatsthis.package
stereohack.package

That's not to say that the others you mentioned aren't working, too. I've only been tracking against hacks I happen to have installed.

As you can see, someone out there says the easybreakup.package is working properly, but I guess I'll play it safe until I hear more convincing evidence that it's OK.

I have noeatcrap and my table interactions show up on the pie menus (steal a bite, throw food, toast, etc). Not to say they actually WORK cause I wasn't testing any hacks when I noticed them & didn't bother at the time to see what they did, but I assume by saying it's broken, you mean the interactions don't show up at all. (And they don't eat crap, either.)

Does notownieregen cause actual bugs that interfere with gameplay, or does it just eliminate all the freakin' downtownies? If it does, even if it's not supposed to, I WANT IT. I am so sick of all my simchildren bringing home nasty ugly townies from school and then becoming obsessed with them, when I want them to be meeting MY simchildren--and after all this time of being used to having NO FREAKING TOWNIES. Is every xpack going to introduce a new set of freaking townies? WHY? When will it end?!

Never. Or rather, when they run out of expansions and introduce The Sims 3. Among my most treasured hacks, the nowhateverregen. But I did enjoy the process of killing off the existing townies/dormies/ss members, hehe!

Updated to include the Official Doctor Boris list.

Does the schoolbus dialogue and college clock belong to TwoJeffs? I havent been able to check the site because I keep getting a page not found everytime I try.

I think the schoolbus is 2Jeffs, but the college clock is JMP's.  look in the MATY official hack directory about 18 down.

In my game, notowniechildren caused all the elders on my lot to lose free will.  I removed the hack, and they were once again fighting over who got to clean the toilets.

Apparently safe "objects not hacks":

The others have definite issues.

Updated to include Dr. Boris's update

That's no bug, that's a feature! The pranking is just irritating and silly. So this hack gets rid of pranks altogether? YAY!

Pranking is actually a lot more dangerous with NL because of the new anger feature. Now whenever someone pranks another sim, unless they are good friends, it will likely end up in a fight and them becoming enemies.

Funny, I have no such issues. Perhaps a driver issue? Nightlife doesn't like a lot of videocards which were accepted by Uni.

I have noeatcrap and I don't have any of those interactions available.

I haven't seen any information on the no shock for outgoing sims hack. (noshockforoutgoing.zip).

I'm sorry. I thought (really, truly, seriously) that I had put it back in, and I hadn't. This is why I'm the worst beta tester ever. (Not that I was TRYING to test it, but this is why I shouldn't.) I will keep my stupid mouth shut next time.

Reminds me of a famous quote. As a matter of fact, I think someone around here has it for their signature.  ;D


On another note, Inge has a Nightlife compatable hack that appears to be similar to the lesswhiny hack. It's called No Moaning and is in the Global Hacks.

Edit: I still have the noovereating hack and I'm about to test it. I've taken out noeatcrap so now I'll see if the new interactions are available.

I had this occur too, but only once so far, when I installed that package.

The Commlightson was put in because it's that way in Dr. Boris's list.  Shrugs

Yeah, that's why I put it in. But so far nothing else has happen, so maybe it was just a freak accident of a bug.

The commlightson hack makes it so lights are always on when on community lots (it modifies the "Is It Night?" function in the LampGlobals).

My guess (because I've never witnessed it) about this problem is that there is some bugged code in the executable associated with particular types of lighting and certain lamps being on between the calls to Init and Main.

Anyone know the status of plumbing-lessbreaking?

The good Doctor has listed a few hacks that have been updated.
--------------------
UPDATED - AVAILABLE:
comm-skilling
dailygardener
noroadpillows
scannergunhack

What about the age transition fix -- teens keep loves??  Or was that twojeffs?

C

I think it was twojeffs. He has a list of his hacks marked with what works and dosn't work in NL.

http://www.variousimmers.net/vsimforum/showthread.php?t=2313&highlight=disappearing

Bathroomusesyou and the clothing tool have been updated.

I am still using the old version of nobuskers and I havn't noticed any ill affects,

 besides I have to have it,  if not that darn stupid nanny will play the instruments all day when the baby is asleep and she can't carry a tune in a bucket.     ;D

Just because you don't notice anything, that doesn't mean that there isn't a code conflict. It may be running over something that will eventually cause weird and seemingly unrelated behavior. Or not. Depends on how and why the code in question was changed. Generally, though, if Boris says the code is different, you should take that hack out and come up with a "creative" way to deal with the nannies.

Heh heh heh.
