Ok Glamour is installed. Anyone have questions?

[lindaetterlee]

I tried using a bin and it wasn't working properly so its nocd until they crackers get working lol.

[Eilonwynn]

It's the nocd. The original one (no CLUE who did it). There's been an update to that - Might want to go back to wherever you got it and have another look.

I had the same problem.

[kattenijin]

Though this is so far before the release date that it must be a bootleg or something, frankly. It's not in stores yet, anywhere, back room or otherwise, at least in the U.S.

The Best Buy store across the hall from where I work in the mall has it on the shelves as of this morning.

[Simsbaby]

There is a whole race car bedroom hidden in Glamour. 

Objects
1x1 armoire
1x1 dresser
Race car lamp
Flags for the wall
Race car bed
Race car toybox
Race car desk
Race car rug
Race car end table

Colors
Blue
Purple
Red
White

I bet this was part of FFS, remember that flooring that was found?

[J. M. Pescado]

How's it hidden, and is it any GOOD? Count on a 12 year old to be impressed by such things.

[Simsbaby]

* simsbaby smacks Pescado.

The meshes and textures look well done (depending on how you rate maxis stuff), and the stuff is hidden like the Family Fun trees and base game paintings.

[proudbrunette]

how can things be hidden?

[BlueSoup]

All the games have had hidden stuff you can find in SimPE, if you know where to look.

Family Fun stuff had a lot of hidden stuff too.

This stuff pack sucks ass.

[Orikes]

Any good tutorials on how to locate the hidden objects and make them accessible?

[Mizz Rose Bud]

I don´t get it ... it the pics in this thread, the clothes isn´t messed up http://bbs.thesims2.ea.com/community/bbs/messages.php?threadID=1ec6f11458e219e17fbe9f196ad96b72&directoryID=107&startRow=1&openItemID=item.107,root.1,item.43,item.61,item.41,item.23 ...

They also look like they were taken from further away than nectere's pictures too.

[Jelenedra]

Just to clarify.

Software and video games tend to have a "soft" release date. Due to the whole 'not shipping them until the date we advertised for' that some companies do to avoid things getting pirated. Meaning they give a date, but it usually has a give or take thing applied to it. It's kinda one of those things that unless they give other instructions for, can be put on the shelf the next time they have a "new release" day.

Movies have a "hard" release date. They send you movies early so that employees can have a chance to snatch them up and tell customers that want to know "is it any good?" if it is good or not. Because they send them earlier than intended, they are VERY ADAMANT about them being out at the proper time. Again the whole pirating thing. Only for some reason, video games,they're not as strict on it.

Software and video games tend to have a "soft" release date.

I remember back in my days of Everquest when some Walmarts put the 'Planes of Power' expansion on the shelves a day early. People from my guild were rushing out to their local Walmarts to see if they could get the expansion early. It was like the lottery if you could get it before anyone else.

[Jelenedra]

*nods* I used to work for Blockbuster and I made a habit of reporting the Walmart next to us everytime they did it.

I know it doesn't STOP them, but if they're gonna break the rules, they can pay the fines.

Even had a customer let me copy his receipt showing that he purchased something three days before the release date and sent that.

Then again, I was mean when I worked at Blockbuster. Pescado would've been proud.

Then I started working at a bank and all the estrogen made me stupid.

[Simsbaby]

The clothing works fine in my game, I even uploaded a few mods already.

[Jelenedra]

The BBS thread had no graphical glitches in their meshes. And even if they were farther away, they were still from the same angle, so the pikes in the back of some, or the squiggly waist would've been visible.

[cabelle]

Any good tutorials on how to locate the hidden objects and make them accessible?

I'd be willing to bet that in a few days or so Numenor will have the hidden objects available at MTS2. He's done it with the hidden stuff from previous packs.

[Jelenedra]

Now it would be awesome, if the EP after the EP That Must Not Be Named adds ballroom dancing to go with all these fancy clothes.

[Tigerlilley]

Any good tutorials on how to locate the hidden objects and make them accessible?

anyone? I would like to know as well

[Orikes]

No tutorials apparently, since the objects usually need a little work to make them playable, but Numenor at MTS2 has made some of them available. http://modthesims2.com/member.php?u=4407. Look for the 'Maxis Lost and Found' entries.

[nectere]

They have upped the requirements for this pack, I had an ATI X200 and they have went up to x300 now so that is likely my issue with weirdness, which sucks because it wasnt an issue prior to this even tho it wasnt listed in OFB supported graphics cards, but now it is. I will be throwing my newish graphics card in tonight that I had bought for the other box (but it needed too much power) which is a GeForce 6600 - it SHOULD fix all the issues I have been having...we will see.

It appears these are lists of "legacy" boards that will run the game, because clearly the current ATI and nVidia product lines will run it—the X1000 series and GeForce 7000 series, respectively. One might expect the bottom-end budget models in each line might have difficulties, though.   

[Jysudo]

How about the new adult males' clothes? I thought the ones with ties are pretty good. Are those problematic too?

 

[Jelenedra]

I dunno, I think it might be a glitch on their video card, I've seen screenshots on another board that didn't have those graphical spikes.

[Baa]

The only real reason I considered getting this pack in the first place was for the Belle of the Ball dress... I think it looks cute, but I'm definitely not gonna pay 20 bucks (considering that's all I have right now) for something that could potentially screw my game up. I'll download it for free instead!
