Sigh - another dead megaupload link. Would someone be so kind as to re-upload the Hunter career?

Of course Havelock's megaupload links are all dead. Does anyone have these files to re-upload?

Several of the non-tattoo files are also gone - which is what I'm really interested in - but of course I also need Havelock's meshes.

Unfortunately neither of Havelock's download links for the Castaway easel are working now. Would someone be kind enough to re-upload?

Yes, I admit I am being necromantic but because this thread appears to be the last word on M&G detection, I do believe it is important to update it.

Mansions and Gardens detection is actually quite easy, even if Apartment Life is not available. Simply do a dummy load of any object that is unique to M&G. If Create New Object Instance succeeds then M&G is available, but otherwise the primitive simply returns False rather than producing an error. For example, lets look for some magic mushrooms! (Mushroom Mania, i.e. Sculpture - Rock Mushrooms)


A similar technique can be used for Holiday Edition/Holiday Pack detection.

Witch, I went to download your lot, but got this nasty message:

"Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /~witch3/Soggy Swamp.zip on this server."

Is this something you could fix?

I have a bit more information which might be helpful. In my high horsepower computer at home, I have the Sims and all expansions installed, together with a lot of custom content. With that computer, I found that even in the tutorial I was hard pressed to come up with a consistent output. Sometimes colours wouldn't move from one bin to the other properly during assembly. Sometimes one colour = often the blonde - wouldn't show up in the output file.

However, I am presently on the road and using a rather clunky Pentium III laptop with a primitive video processor. Although practically speaking it can't effectively run the Sims, it is quite useful for doing hair recolouring sinced the results are extremely reliable. Two possible reasons come to mind to explain this. It may be that on my home computer the large amount of custom content is in some way interferring with this plugin, and/or the presence of all the expansions including FFS is in some way overwhelming its operation.

Now that I have reliable plugin operation I am using me time away to rebin some of DJ_Mur3's wonderful hair designs.

Hi Theo

It looks like this is going to be a wonderful tool that I will use frequently. The tutorial at http://theos.home.sapo.pt/ts2/walkthrough.html was easy to follow and working very well. However once I tried loading colours other than Plicka's black I ran into problems. No matter what file I select it always loads the black set. In the case of blonde I do see a colour change to blonde in the preview window, but no change in the filenames.

I have tried this with other hair files. Sometimes I do see all of the other colours in the preview window, but the filenames always refer to the black files.

Unfortunately I just upgraded to Family Fun Stuff yesterday - before running this plugin - and of course SIMPE complains that it is not compatible with expansions more recent than OFB. Perhaps this is the problem...

Cheers - David
