Hi all,

The rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated. :P

Ok, so there haven't been any actual rumors about my death, but I know I haven't been around much, or really participating much in the Sims 2 community as of late. Due to the SecuROM scandalous issues, and my own problems with my poor PC (BSODs and such ), I have sort of taken somewhat of an extensive break from TS2 and modding. Perhaps, when I find the time to stabilize my PC, I'll get back into it. But for now, I do plan to continue updating my mods.

I recently updated two mods, and I will continue to look into any issues that have been reported so far. I also haven't had the time to fully update the Enable Woohoo Wants for Teens mod. I will get around to it eventually, when I find the time. So, I thank you for your patience.

In the meantime, I hope all o' y'all had a happy holidays!

Cheers!

Hello faithful reader

For those of you who don't know, I've finally managed to get my own section on MATY. I encourage you to check it out, but be forewarned, we're not very fond of

So, I recommend lurking around a bit before you decide to actually post. Feel free to read things before actually registering. If you only plan to go there to download hacks, then it is highly recommended that you actually DON'T register. No need to waste database space.

But if you do plan on being an 'active' participant, then I recommend that you definitely lurk around a bit. As with any forum, you really should get a feel of the 'atmosphere' before you jump right on in. Seriously, it's really for your own good. Don't say I didn't warn ya. :D

As for MTS2, I will continue to update my mods here as best as I can. But if you don't see an updated version here immediately, then I suggest checking things out at MATY. Thanks for your feedback and your patience.

This is a preliminary based on the diff between EP4p0 and EP5p0. I don't have Seasons yet, and although I plan on getting it, I am not quite sure how soon that will be. It may be sometime next week, or perhaps a little later. Unless I break down and just acquire it temporarily until I get around to it.

ETA: 2/28/2007



WARNING: Also, as a reminder, if you are using the Teen Woohoo wants hack that changes the core files, you might (apparently I was able to install ZOMGPETZ!!!!1111oneoneone last time without reverting... but just in case, why take chances?) need to revert your files back to normal BEFORE installing Seasons. It goes without saying that you won't be able to put the hack back until I get around to updating it.

Hello all,


I've had a couple of people ask me if I plan on updating my hacks for Seasons. I consider myself somewhat of a "die hard" fan of the Sims 2. So, unless something tragic happens to me, or my computer (*knocks on wood* ) you can most likely rest assured that, as long as there will be Expansion Packs coming out for the Sims 2, I will continue to update and support them.

Having said that, I am unsure yet whether I will be purchasing Seasons this week. I might wait a couple of weeks or so. Furthermore, I am also in the process of purchasing parts for building a shiny new machine to play Seasons on. My compy is 4+ years old, with a mediocre graphics card, so I'm a bit due for an upgrade.

As such, you will have to be patient until I either get Seasons or build my computer and re-install everything. However, if I manage to get a copy of the object code, and the current version of SimPE works (or when a new version for Seasons comes out), I can most likely provide tentative updates of my hacks. I wouldn't be able to personally test them, but theoretically, I could still do the updates.

OTOH, I might just break down and end up getting it right away. We shall see how it goes.

I've been busy with real life lately. Go figure. But I finally decided to release some mods over here at MTS2 that I have released or were kinda testing over at MATY. I thought, 'tis the season and all, so why not share and spread the love and joy and what not. Plus, right now, there are a lot of "new beginnings" (and rebegininnings) happenin for me: got a new job, a new tivo! (my very own personal tivo!!!), a new edition to the family recently (yay for baby nieces!), new video games, renewed motivation in life, love, and the pursuit of happiness! Not to mention, a new year creepin up around the corner. So I figured, why not also start anew with this journal too!

I'll be a lot busier with real life from now on... so I may take a bit of a break. I guess I'll have to see; it will all depend on how well I can manage my time. Anyhew, I still have a few more tricks up me sleeve, a couple of sorta experimental hacks and fixes that are still being tested out somewhat or sort of still works in progress.

Plus... there's the new EP that isn't too far off, assuming it isn't delayed of course. And you know what that means, there will always be more hacks and fixes to come up with. The new EP looks pretty interesting and I'm pretty excited about it. So who knows what modders will come up with next.

Well, Happy Holidays if you're actually readin this. :D
