What the...??

[clem]

My game has done something new and cute--I keep putting in the cheat to hide the censor grid and nothing happens. I tried it in another lot. Nothing. I looked it up on the web to make sure my brain didn't die and I am spelling it correctly. And I've used it hundreds of times before, so I don't know what's going on now.

BTW, I have few hacks, all of them Pescado's except the final exam fix from Twojeffs.

Any ideas? Maybe I should just restart and try it again and hope for a one-time game fart?

You are doing this:

intProp censorGridSize 0

Right? Or are you leaving the game in Pause mode? You have to unpause to kill the censor.

Right. And I don't pause for that cheat, so that can't be the issue.

I'd say restart and see what happens.

There is a hack in Mod the Sims 2, named "unblur", which you have to put in your config folder. It replaces the "userStartup" file, so save your config folder before. Search for unblur.

Why do you need it? I used it once, and all I saw was naked dolls - nothing interesting, and I took it off. My sims have sexy dresses, and that's far more interesting....

Spoke too soon.  The cheat worked on restart. But thanks all for the quick responses. Looks like today is not the day for a fbvfos.

gali, I use the cheat mostly out of habit, and partly just because I can. It's my private rebellion against the prudery of the U.S.

Just add the cheat code to your userStartup file in Config and the blur will be permanently gone.

You can also download an unblur file from Snooty Sims...I don't think it replaces anything (though it's been a while since I got it).

Well, for me, I hate the way it blurs out the whole baby when I'm trying to take a picture of baby's first bath in the kitchen sink!

That's my biggest peeve, too, it interferes with my baby bath pictures.

You want to DISABLE the CENSOR!!??  Aieeeeeee!  W.W.J.T.S. (What Would Jack Thompson Say).

Who gives a damn what Jack Thompson thinks.    The blur is one of the first things I had to get rid of when I got the game.  I find the blur very distracting and slows things down.  I don't get any perverse pleasure from watching "barbie doll" sims, but I'd rather see them au naturel than with some stupid blur like on TV shows where they are trying to conceal someone's identity.  Covering something up only makes people more curious to know what is being concealed.

I downloaded a file from MTS2 like the ones you are talking about.  It is basically the same as putting the cheat command in your startup cheat file.  I now have that one as well as the debug cheat and the cheat for more sims at a party, especilally since these last two have to be entered from the neighborhood, and I always forget.  (Some functions with the debug cheat don't work unless you exit the lot and re-enter.)

One thing I don't understand is why they blur the baby on the potty?  You can't see anything, and you can see babies on their potties anywhere.  They even show naked babies on TV!  So what's the big deal about seeing a baby getting their diaper changed.  I just love the toddlers.  One of the cutest things in the game is the way the toddlers fuss about being put on the changing table, and I adore the way they pat the potty while they are on it.  But I assume these things wouldn't even be viewable with that danged blur.  I didn't realize it was blurred until I saw a picture in the Prima Guide where the baby on the potty was blurred.  I have had the censor blur removed almost since day one, and I hadn't played toddlers yet then.

Ugxh, don't get me started on that. Completely asinine.

By the way, love the avatar.

And some functiomns (like the simDNA cheat) won't work at all unless you put the debugging cheat in your userStartup.cheat file.

Thanks!

And rainbow, I know JT is a schmuck.  I disable the censor all the time as well.  In fact, the cheat is in my cheat.startup file or whatever. 

[Oddysey]

The only problem with disabling the censor is that it makes me start wondering how sims pee with their pants on . . . deep thoughts. Maybe I should ask the BBSers?

[Trubble]

Haha I dare you!

Yeah, I figured you knew that.  I saw your post about him way back when the whole thing started.  I just couldn't resist commenting and giving my two simoleans.

[LK]

I think you should make a post about that on the BBS as well.  The exchange rate between dollars/euros/pounds/simoleans.

Jack Thompson pees with his pants on, too.

[ZephyrZodiac]

Explains why they so often need a shower after going to the loo!

[RainbowTigress]

He looks like a sim guy when he showers too!!! 

[LK]

Yes, even Jack Thompson sometimes has to download custom skins...

[Kitiara]

I need a new hobby. I think goading BBSers into inevitable stupidity sounds like fun. I plan to ask the BBS to answer questions, and see what responses I get. Should the pee thing be the first question (if I am allowed to steal it), or does someone have another suggestion. I have no shame, am not afraid of being banned, and do not care if they think I am an idiot because they do not get the joke. All suggestions will be considered.

I can't remember if you've been on any of the Daily Idiot threads, but you should go over there and join us (even though it's slow today, for some reason).
