PhoneHackOld Doesn't Work with Vanilla TS2

[WestofYouLB]

I had a phonehack .package that worked as the phone hack was supposed to, until I recently moved most of my hacks to another folder.

Now, even when I install PhoneHackOld, I still get standard behavior for the phones. Behavior that really drives me nuts.

Can anyone sort out for me why TS2 with no EP's doesn't work with the Phone Hack file?

Thanks.

Maybe put the hack back in the downloads folder where it worked properly? Didn't subfoldering come with NL? I know you could always do some (except Bodyshop stuff) but still if it worked straight in the downloads and doesn't in a subfolder why not just move it back?

Other alternatives - you could have a conflicting hack that needs a specific load order and you've changed the order by moving around the hacks. Maybe you copied a hack by accident and ended up with two? That messes things up.

Also maybe try renaming the folder . I used put all the custom content (walls and floors and sometimes objects) that came with houses in their own folders in a folder called "Custom Lots" and half the time or more, the cc wouldn't load - sometimes it would, but often it wouldn't and was very annoying. I somewhere got the idea the game didn't like having another folder called "Lots" and changed it to "Custom Housing." It's worked nicely since - probably some coincidental thing that just seems causative but still... never can tell.

Sagana,

Thanks for the reply.

Sorry for the misinformation. I HAD moved the hacks out, but when I put them back in Downloads, that is when I expected the phonehack to work, but was disappointed.

Loading order? Could be. I gotta think what I could do about that.

OK! Removed everything that had to do with phones, and reinstalled PhoneHackOld. Works a treat now. Thanks.
