The bork pool for L&P Sims 2 "Free Time / Hobbies / Numpty Crap" EP7

[Jelenedra]

Neighborhood resets will cause fixed cars to revert to their original broken state. Neighborhood will reset after everytime a car is repaired.

[Lord Darcy]

The "Maximized XXX skill" memories will be borked. Sims cannot correctly gain memories/fulfill wants by using new FT skilling/crafting objects. Knowledge sims cannot fulfill "Maximized all 7 skills" LTW via new FT activities. Either they gain no memories, or they get false memory spam just like currently borked (and fixed by Pescado as usual) Eggplant Juice. Of course, eggplant juice will remain borked, or they make yet another half-assed attempt to fix it only to bork it MOAR, requiring update of eggplantjuice hack.

They'll attempt to increase the chance of alien abduction with some new perk what'll result in certain abduction every time a sim gawks through the 'scope. Sims will get random crushes from watching others play violin or basketball.

I too watched a trailer; a new creature is going to be the Clown.

Oh gods I hope not.  I'd been thinking that was just another costume.  I wanna ragdoll sim, dammit. *sticks head back in sand*

Personally, I find the clown unoriginal and creepy (there was a clown in TS1 which I hated), and the ragdoll-idea just creeps me out. Perhaps because I've seen quite a few horror-movies/series and read at least one book revolving around dolls or a particular doll (mostly of the porcelain kind) coming "alive" or there's something else creepy about them, like belonging to a ghost-girl that died tragically. No matter what the reason, though, the thoughts of living dolls creep me out more than vampires or zombies ever could.

[Jelenedra]

I just hope that it is not a clown simply because it's not a CREATURE sim. Unless it's something like Sweet-tooth, and he's some evil clown that shows up when your parties are going crappily and torments your sims.

I just think that the "living doll" would be really cool. No need to eat or sleep, all it would need would be social and fun. And of course, an allergy to water, for the lulz.

[Venusy]

Maybe it's actually an NPC...

Wait, if it is the Tragic Clown, and it does have the same method of "removal", won't that mean complete disaster given the increase in the deadliness of fires in TS2?

FAKE EDIT: Or was there an easier way to get rid of the TC in Sims 1? Back when I played TS1, I got most of my information from the Prima guide... oh.

[witch]

I had a painting in sims 1 that kept the clown away, if memory doesn't fail.

Do you have a link to this trailer? I didn't spot a clown when I watched the EA video.

If your sims got happy enough, the clown would leave on its own. Later, enough people complained about the clown, that they made new NPC's that you could download to remove the clown if you called them.

I used either Paladin or SimSlice's hired goons to eradicate wayward mimes and clowns on sight. (This, of course, being back in the day when SimSlice was actually pretty innovative and clever and his hacks didn't farkle your game or duplicate more elegant, less bloated ones. Or cost money.)

There was, yes, an anti-clown painting. But it was kind of fugly and less entertaining.

My other fave Sims 1 hack item was a blue "Do It All" kind of mirror...a mini-InSIM before there was such a thing. Every house had a foyer with a lovely blue wall mirror in it.

There needs to be another L&P thread made. The new lies and Propaganda is a stuff pack by the name of Kitchen and Bath designer stuff. So says the game release thing at work. It's listed for April.

<Snip>
So much L&P that now the page doesn't even exist. They are toying with us.

Here.

The Clown creature would be a particularly nasty, evil thing, that's why I think it's quite possible, coming from EA. 

[J. M. Pescado]

Video is fake. Notice how the toddler is at an impossible height. How does it get there? What is it DOING there? FAAAAAKE.

[dorquemada]

D'oh, forgot to mention a potential thing of awesomeness - death by bees! And there're two kiddy sadists observing some trapped ants, but death by ants is probably too much to hope...sigh.

    1. Since this is the bork pool, i hereby claim the possible borking of the 'Attack Of The Killer Bees'.  The bees follow the sim for ever and ever.
    2.  'Ants, Ants everywhere, and not an Uncle in sight!'  The animation of the Ant Colony borks and spreads onto other objects.  The fish aquarium, tv's, mirrors.

[Nepheris]

A whole variety of fuckups will occur with the contest options.

Contests will not finish properly, cause game errors and generate a bucketload of judges every single time your sim enters one.

I am imagining this like the "clinging bubbles" effect. Harmless, but endless. It would be kind of cool to have a person made of bees.

Ha! Tis true. It's gone now. They've pulled the page.

[Jelenedra]

Maybe because EAxis hasn't made an annoucement yet? Probably waiting for the Free Time EP to come out, so they can make their pretty fliers to put in there.

[kuronue]

1. Death by sewing needle

2. "Sports" will consist of two (and only two) sims - a free-throw contest, or practicing with one sim kicking a soccer ball as the other one goaltends. There will be a total of 3 animations per sim per sport, and we'll get incredibly board watching them grind Sports to gain some minuscule benefit. This will be entirely useless for filiming as the animations are so ludicrously repetitive and unnatural that nobody would buy a video made with them.

[SilentDream]

1. Death by sewing needle

I was once told that if you take a hot needle and stick it in someone's eye that the eye will explode. Sorry, that just reminded me.

However, an animation of that might be hilarious.

[witch]

And if you run your finger under a sewing machine needle, the tongue explodes.

Does EA Thailand count for anything?
