How often does the bar fill for just keeping up a generally high aspiration?  Does having a gold or platinum aspiration affect it differently?

  All right, it's working now.  I've just had so many Maxian bugs (like the nVidia drivers issue) that nailing that one down was driving me crazy.  In my case, I uninstalled Pets, then uninstalled Glamour Life just as a test.   The Pets installation had to be removed manually though, which isn't hard but tedious.  Reinstalled GL and Pets and the GL stuff is back.  Thanks.  Worth every penny of my illustrious subscription fees.

At least you can get the Glamour Life furniture to show.  All the Glamour Life additions are missing since I installed Pets.

Installed patch over OFB patch 1.  Ran the game with a full downloads folder.  Besides the usual reseting Sims, everything was fine.  No re-installs, nothing.  Fortunately, I have no globals that are overridden by it.

The link still isn't working - it seems the file doesn't exist.  I was also trying to get the NL version since I just got a copy for my sibling.

Snip.
That went away with Nightlife for me.  Did it come back?

Anyone else seeing a previously platinum gravestone turn gray upon putting it in the graveyard?  I had this happen to one of mine and it's driving me mad because I have no idea why this happened.

I like the perma-plats, because it's one less Sim to stress over when things get hectic.  These Sims are the ones who get to cook the meals, clean the house, etc.  If things are calm, then I just go back to shooting for wants, in particular, the power wants (such as "30 Best Friends") that are insane.

Admittedly, some Sims are nearly impossible to satisfy the LTW.

I have had a ridiculous amount of woohoo rolls on at-home dates, while this phenomenon has only appeared once on a community lot date.  I still prefer the community lots, if only because it's slightly easier for my romance sims to run and hide on those.

Actually, the first sim I ever made married Benjamin Long and they get along great.  He's also friends with about half the neighborhood.

It's not genetic because kids can't be vampires.  Just have their parents chomp on em' when they hit their teens and say it's a rite of passage.

I've been down to two guests   Any NL compatible hacks out there yet?

I've been digging the casual outings aspect of this expansion.  It always bothered me that Hot Date only gave anything fun to dates, and that this generation has had nothing to do for people who are friends.  Now they're hopping around all over the place.  The popularity Sims love it.

I like it for the variety.  It used to be a pain making anyone NOT like each other.  Now there's some spice.

Example.  In my Pleasant household, Coral Oldie has been living with her daughter Mary-Sue ever since her husband Herb passed away.  Coral watches Daniel like a hawk, and she caught him with a floozy making out in the house.  Like any loving mother would do, she stood up for her daughter by assaulting the harlot.  After losing miserably, she hit the furious reaction and now bad mouths the slut at every turn.  Mary-Sue won a fight with the same woman within minutes, but since she kicked her ass, she isn't furious.

I should point out, however, that I'm getting corrupted memories everytime I use the "Bad Mouth" option with Coral.  It's a real pain, but it's pretty funny that they can trash a relationship with a separate sim by talking trash.  I just thought maybe we'd seen the end of squiggly line memories.

Heh heh.  In my game, Nina Caliente married Don, and she's currently sleeping with one of the townies as well as Daniel Pleasant on top of her husband.  Her sister Dina married Mortimer.

Dina gets a call from her sister to go out.  So I send her out and stupid Nina brought as her company all THREE of her lovers.  So it was quite a juggling act to keep them from catching each other, but I'm proud to say, Nina got off scott-free.  In my game, Nina is a much more successful cheater than Don (who's had several of HIS dates pummled into submission by his jealous wife), so this actually worked out.

Too bad Nina never noticed her own sister never did get over her obsession with Don

My matchmakers have been incredibly bizarre.  First round, Nina Caliente gets an old guy on his last legs and those are her turn offs.  Second time I tried with Kimiko sakimoto, a sim I rolled entirely to fart around with Nightlife stuff.  She gets a young, handsome popularity Sims that absolutely adores her, leaves her flowers, takes her on fun dates, etc.  They're wild about each other and their last date consisted entirely of them rolling wants to woohoo in the car (and can I state my objection to a lack of car woohoo cinemas?!  Sheesh.)  They only had one bad date, actually, just do to Kimiko being just a wee bit too frisky with her date before he was ready.

I have no idea how the matchmakers are picking these people to get such polar opposites

In my case, it's happening on home lots, but I haven't tried it on Downtown or other community lots.  Their parents don't even show to collect them, the kids just say "Look at the time, I need to be getting back!" and just leave.

I'd like one that includes kids in it - NL seems to tell children to leave at 6PM!  They can't even stay for dinner anymore

Does payatbox.package still work?  Kind of afraid to try it.

I have the FFS Lot Debugger in my game still, since I had some non-Uni sims I wanted to upgrade.  I haven't tried any of it's other functions, but upgrading their want slots hasn't caused my game to explode into a big fire ball visable from space.
