I didn't know fire & burglaries were a timed event.  That maybe it, I only have a few sim days of play time on anyone lot.  Since, I have mainly been updating my lots with driveways and cars, and the family's with attractions.

I don't know if it is just the luck of the draw, but I haven't had a single spontaneous fire or burglary attempt on any of my lots since I installed Nightlife.  I have considerable game playtime in since the install and should think I would have had some trouble by now.

I did check, and can create a fire in a toaster.  I don't think I have any hacks running other than the coffee cup hack.

Has anyone else noticed this?

Still need the coffee cup hack.  Started running the game post patch and that was the first hack I had to quit the game so I could load.

Nope, I was forced by Steam to upgrade my video drivers to play Halflife2 even though it was running fine with my older drivers.

Had a little clash with my anti cookie/popup software, putting the site on my white list seems to have fixed it.  Sorry about that.

I don't know if anyone else noticed, but bump mapping now appears to work correctly with Gforce cards

To enable bump mapping in the game with nightlife I don't have to force my Nvidia driver shaders to 2.0.  I have a Nvidia Gforce 6800GT and I was having to force my shaders to 2.0 with Riva tuner to get bump mapping working in the game.  I recently upgraded my drivers to version 68.01.  I checked at that time and still had to force the shaders to 2.0 to get the bump mapping to work, but now with Nightlife all is well leaving them set on default.

I like burning toaster pastries.  One burning toaster, and everyone in the household are ready for a shower.

0 for 2 on my hunt for perfect score.  First the repoman then the loosing gold status upon entering the energizer.  Third time should be the charm.  I am starting to get a whole section of my neighborhood devoted to the email challenge

Great you have your own place.
