ZZ, I really have no problem with people that really do need help (I know I get confused about stuff) it's the ones that don't try to help themseleves first that drive me nuts, they want all the answers handed to them  I've given someone a link to a help thread and had them turn around and ask me to post the answers "here" because they couldn't be bothered to read that whole thread  I'd be one of the first to jump on people who can't be bothered to scroll up one post to read a how-to, or check out the RTFM that is in the downloaded zip file. I definitely agree that that's just plain laziness. However, I'm not going to go and read a 50 page long thread on MTS2 (that covers all updates of a particular mod) to find an answer if I know that people here use that same mod and can probably give me a quicker, more sensible, and most importantly CORRECT answer. Waiting for my browser to load it's way through a ton of pages that mostly say 'great mod, keep it up', on the off chance the answer I need is going to be on that page just doesn't cut it for me. EDIT: changed 1 letter to fix a typo. |

I think that's a bit different from expecting someone to basically go and find all the information you need and then paste it all into a thread here in order to answer your question! In your case, you are really asking for people to give you an informed opinion, which they can do without chasing all over MTS2 on your behalf!

that whole thread I mentioned above was a help thread and had only 2 or 3 posts  I'd skip a hack rather then read a 50 page thread *laughs* If I was really interested enough I would read a few pages to see if I could find out what I wanted to know and if I didn't find the answers then I would post with my questions. The community I was involved in before getting addicted to TS2 was mostly kids and most of the questions asked daily had to do with how to hack the files for such and such result, not how to download something so we can't say all kids don't think for themselves.

To be honest, I haven't downloaded that mod yet. I'm still debating whether I want the All in One NPC enough to read a thread that is now 54 pages long. In spite of what I posted above, I'm the conscientious type who does tend to read the entire thread when I download something as I want to know what I'm getting into before I put something in my game. |

I didn't mean to imply that was true of ALL kids - just some! (I was a teacher for 20 years, and I'm well aware that some kids are very independent thinkers, but there are some who I remember would come out after every sum they did to get it marked! - and not necessarily kids who had difficulty, just kids who were either constant attention-seekers or who had no self-confidence, and that is often the result of parents who do all their thinking for them!)

Forget about reading 20 pages. People won't read 20 posts (or even the opening post!). One just has to spend 5 minutes at MTS2 before you find yourself in a sea of "How do I install this?" refuse and people asking the same question over and over and over, even when the answer is one or two posts back! Typical MTS2 dialogue:
Author: ...Nightlife Only! This mod is not compatible with University or TS2!...Just install to your downloads folder.
.
.
.
Moron 1: If I install this to University will it screw up my game? Where does he go?
Sleepycat: Did you read the opening post?
Moron 1 (5 minutes later): Well? NE1? Is anyone going to answer me?!!111
Jase439: This mod is compatible with Nightlife only.
Moron 1: OK, Thanks! I'm going to try it right now!
Moron 2: Hey, I installed this and my YA won't go to class. Please fix this mod!!! I have Uni.
Moron 3: I have that problem 2! This is a stoooopid mod.
Sleepycat: :banghead:
Author: Again, please do not install this into University or TS2.
Moron 1: This don't work in Uni. Just thought ushould no, like k? He doesn't show up in my game like u said. So bye!
Jase439: :banghead:

Lovely. Just been to have a look at the Debugger, don't think I need anything that it offers just yet, time will tell.

Actually, the Clear AWOL Headmaster fixes a known bug which is present on every lot!

Not exactly ZZ. The controller for the headmaster scenario is present on every lot, but it's not always damaged. In the words of JMP, "The AWOL headmaster option appearing is not the sign of a problem, merely that the scenario controller will always respawn itself, and the object fixes a damaged controller by destroying it and causing it to respawn. Thus, it will always destroy one object." |

Well, I always FixAwolHeadmaster as soon as I load a new lot, and it tells me that 1 object is fixed, so I naturally assumed that the error was there until it was fixed.

Game play in all my houses, from the one-room tips to the 20-room symbols of wretched excess, is smoother and faster once I fix the AWOL Headmaster. Even if he wasn't broken to start with. |

True! Also broken mood boosts, if they appear in the menu, slow everything down until they're fixed!

You know, I agree with Hairfish. I want to know who Draklixa is too and why Pescado includes her in every RFTM.

I think I've asked this before in the chat, when I get home I'll check through the transcripts and see if it's there (Trillian records everything ever said when I'm in there). Also, just from doing a google search, the only hits that come up on Draklixa are from www.tradewars.com and this site. |

Maybe she's a sim he uses to test out his mods?
