Title: Problems with boolprop testingcheatsenabled true
Post by: Jess Maree on 2007 May 20, 02:52:00
Hello all, first time poster so I apologize if this is in the wrong area  :)

I use boolprop alot and I tend to leave it on after I have used it. My question is: if I leave it on will my game/lot act up? I have noticed some minor problems, like my kids freezing when they try and get out of the bus, but I'm not sure if it is related or not  :-\

I only have Nightlife (patched) no cc but I used to have the "kitten killer"  ;) but I deleated it  :)

Thanks in advance,
Jess

Not related.

Here is the deal.

It doesn't "cause errors."  It merely reports them.

It doesn't "destroy your computer."  Is that even logically possible?  No.

Also, believe nothing from Neoseeker or the BBS.  Full of liars and thieves.

The only problem that it ever, EVER causes is when an error pops up in the middle of a cut scene and you can't get to it to cancel it out. As Lil Brudder said, it does not cause any errors, all it does is report the errors that happen whether or not you leave it on.  Now, I wouldn't suggest using it to invite over the whole neighborhood unless you're prepared to have your computer crawl, assuming you can run at all with 100's of Sims on the lot, but that's more of a problem with Stupid Simmers doing silly things, than the cheat itself.  :D I play with the cheat on 100% of the time, and have never had any problems that people who never touch it haven't had. I'd say your problems stem from the buggy NL game engine. If you get OFB, or anything released after it,  your game will run much more smoothly.

You can still cancel it, but since the mouse is hidden it becomes pixelhunting. Slowly move the mouse until you see either button highlight, and then click the wanted option. The mouse typically starts top left, so you want to move it slowly down and right.

If you play in window mode it's easier.  I line the mouse up with the level of the buttons, and then slowly and carefully move across until I get one highlighted.

If you hit escape it's as if you clicked cancel, and you get the mouse icon back.

FYI - if you 'no cc' at all, meaning no hacks at all, then you're playing a really broken game.  I suggest downloading, in the very least, all the critical fixes.

It's not bad, just deeply misguided. There's a post in RetardoLand that you should read (if you haven't). It's the DI thread.

Now see, I consider going on a pixel hunt a problem.  ;) I have fixed this the more expedient way of just turning off the cut scenes. How many times can a person really stand to see them, anyway?


Title: Re: Problems with boolprop testingcheatsenabled true
Post by: Ness on 2007 May 21, 12:01:41
I did the same eventually.  What bugged me most was not being able to fast forward through them.

too bad we can't pick and choose the cut scenes. the woohoo in bed one makes me giggle, but i'm bored of the rest.

I only turn on cut scenes when someone is about to have an alien baby.

That one makes me all emotional-like for some reason.

Cross-legged buddha stance baby is funny too.

Witch, I agree with you and LB, I think it is sweet, though the focus on their shoes seems a bit strange. :)

Apparently the woohoo ones are dirty and not needed, they should be pulled from the game so the children can't see them. Please think of the children!

VooDoo Princess, the feet fly off the floor as the are levitated by their young love.

(Which, coincidentally will probably end in divorce.)

The woohoo one bores me, as does the first kiss. Alien baby is cute, as is abduction. I've had three abductions just recently as the green bastards really seem to like Dorothy. I choose to believe it has to do with her rather odd history, but it's probably just because she has no hope of alien pregnancy.

Normal baby birth annoys me because there's always an extra plumbbob in the video if I have the mom selected, which I generally do around baby time.

Ahh the infamous DI thread. I have had a looky over there, so I suppose I wont be checking out the BBS anytime soon  ;)

I wouldn't mind cut scenes in my game, but my shitty graphics card wont support them  >:(

The DI is quite good if it's taken the right way... which mostly it isn't. The BBS can be good too, if you can avoid all the stupidness of it. Sometimes you'll get some good information there. :P

I haven't had cutscenes in my game since just after it was released. They got old fast.

Eh I reckon the DI is purely for having a laugh at idiotic posters on other sites. Just because some people get up themselves  *cough ezramanda cough  ::)* and spoil the fun  :(

Look back at the old DI on this site, the first pages of RL and you'll see it well done. People just got to stuffy I think and that took the fun away.

Yeah, I gotta suggestion - not so many hugs and fluffies - this isn't a BBS type board! Pointing and laughing is good.  :P

Yep, you obviously need a warning about the big scarey people on the site. There's Rohina too, the 'gold standard of evil', better watch out for her.  ;D

Nope, merely figured it was easier that way. Don't want to be clogginhg the boards with useless crap now do I? Plus there was hugs and fluffies in it and I know how much people here hate that.

Witch - you are intitled to your oppinion and I'll try and keep the hugs and fluffies down  :)

Li'l Brudder - I only learnt about "glomping" yesterday and will try and keep it down if it upsets everyone so much  ;)
