Sims 2: Downloads question

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.the-sims (More info?)

When you download stuff, like say lots, sometimes their creators have
used custom objects and whatnot, and these are included in the house.
But what if some of them are hacked? Can they cause problems with your
game?

Yes they can.

Any hack on one lot can affect all lots.

Yes, but there is a program somewhere (possibly at modthesims2.com)
that lets you install only the stuff you want. There's a checklist,
and you can uncheck anything or everything that came in the house.

Barb's right on. It's called the Sims2Pack Clean Installer. You can do a
search on MTS2 and you'll find it. It works terrific.

Where have you been Guardian? That program has been out for quite some
time now. LOL

Clean Installer is a great program, however it *does NOT* catch all hacks.

Now, I don't like the sound of that! That will worry me from now on. I
do have one of
dincer's objects that the program tells me that it can not open! It is
one of dincer's original meshes.
Hopefully, the program will tell me if there are other files it can't
open.

Like a virus-protection program, it can only catch what it is designed
to hunt.
