No Autonomous SSX3 hack

I used th give the college kids a break, but I just make them finish the term paper all the way too.  If they need fun back up they can go play red hands or dance to the radio if someone else is already kicking stuff.

Or woohoo in the hot tub!

Thanx!

There are still some sad, benighted heathens who refuse to see the light, though.

Now that's and ode to your macrotastics if I ever read one. It could've been written by you, but I'm sure it's not, it lacks the insults. :D

By the way, love the link to the German page. More paise-singing, this time in my own language.

I would sure hate to be one of your Sims.  The poor things must be petrified everytime you click your mouse!

No you wouldn't. Because I don't click very often. Macrotastics is totally more awesome than you.

Ah-hah! I've been thinking about this for a while, and this adds the final piece. A Geek centered expansion pack! Primarily, it makes computers functional and interesting. Yes .  . . Of course, it's really just an excuse to have tabletop RPGs in the game.

SSX3 is friggin' EVIL. Never ever ever buying it. Ever. I have SSX1, it's a fun game, and I considered getting SSX3 before Sims, but no more! Between this and the obvious "Argh! The suits rushed the deadline for financial reasons and now the game is craptastic!" aspect to both S2 and Uni, I now officially LOATHE that towering edifice of Evil that is EA. I used to like them, because S1 probably wouldn't have been made without them buying Maxis out (long story there) but now that they have screwed the franchise over with their stupidity, I doubt I will ever buy anything that has only the EA label ever again.

Has anyone else noticed that they are pushing the EA-ness of TS2? TS1 was in the "Maxis" folder. TS2 is in the "EA Games" folder. I guess it is rather appropriate though, seeing as they're responsible for the game being what it is today. Gah.

Just a little bump to say thanks to the people who drew my attention to Inge's hack. It works like a charm . Death to SSX3!

What always annoys me, you send your sims to the shops, they buy Bustin' Out or whatever, but everytime they turn on the playstation it's back to the default!  I'd love a hack that locks it on the last program played, so only the human player can switch it back!

There's no memory of the last program played. You always have to pick one to play when you start the game.

I realised that, that's why I wondered if it would be possible to do it.

Not really. It'd require the creation of an entirely new attribute, for starters. That'd be messy. Doable, perhaps, but would be messy and potentially prone to future conflict....and for what purpose? If you want to create a Deathmatch, you have to initiate it yourself anyway. If you don't want a deathmatch, then why are you putzing around with that dumb thing?

[ZephyrZodiac]

A bit of an Alice, I suppose - just curious!

Pardon my ignorance, but how do you start a deathmatch?  I have your hack concerning it, but I don't really know how to use it.

Thanks,

Either get a game console, or get multiple PCs and use the 'join lanparty' option after a Sim has started playing.
