Big Hairy Night Life Question

[surprised_by_witches]

Something just occurred to me, and I was wondering if someone "in the know" knew the answer.

When I install Nightlife, would it be a good idea to graduate all my sims from Uni first? Do I run the risk of my college students getting disconnected from their family trees if I leave them there during the install?

Just thought this would be good to know ahead of time, thanks.

[Kristalrose]

Hummm, I hadn't thought of that. Yes, that would be something nice to find out before we install. LOL

[Mirelly]

To be honest I wouldn't be surprised ... but being the eternal optimist I'll continue to assume that the Maxoids will at least have tested an install over a University-ized installation (including one with active students at a campus)

I suspect that the old advice will remain good advice. Before installing expansion pack make sure that all playable sims are at home in bed asleep ... if necessary get night-workers to take a sickie or vacation day. Just have them all asleep before you save at 5am game time. If you don't you will find them at home, wide awake and possibly standing under a foundation saying something meaningful like "shooflee".

Why all of the sudden I'm picturing big, creepy, crawling, spiders inside the nighlife ep...

*groans*

Because you most likely will find that big, creepy, crawing spider inside that EP. But as long as it is not too big, I think I will cope just fine. (Finding a sim under the fountain saying "shooflee" will be mildly entertaining and the least problematic thing we have to look forward to).

Does anyone know when Nightlife will be available in the UK? Or is it out already and I am just stoopid?

[slimsim]

I only found a spider in a game once, I blame it on the store :D (JK)
When i Installed Uni I didnt do anything, just installed, and nothing happened. Nothing happened (like sims saying Shooflee) when I turned the game on. It was the same as usual.

[suitemichelle]

that's the way it's supposed to work, backing up your games is a precaution so you don't lose everything in case you end up have to reinstall everything.

[garyalexza]

Large spiders would be a good addition to the game. They can help prevent bug infections, and scare away unwelcome guests.

[surprised_by_witches]

Or eat them.

[garyalexza]

Exactly ... we really need large spiders. I mean we already have zombies, aliens, ghosts and now vampires. The only thing we DON'T have from the horror genre is large hairy spiders. Or scary clowns. So yes. We need large hairy spiders and scary clowns.

[babewithbrains_14]

What drugs exactly has the doctor given you again? I'd go back, 'cos they don't seem to have worked.

[person123]

Can questions be hairy? I guess this one needs a shave.

[surprised_by_witches]

You can't shave a spider ... hee hee hee .... :D

[babewithbrains_14]

You could if it was big enough.

[Kristalrose]

Okay, I am soooo confused!!!:rolleyes:

[Lynet]

So am I. Are we talking about shaving a hairy night? I've had a few of those. :p

[person123]

A hairy night? No, a spider! I suppose it'd be possible to shave a very large tarantula, but it'd probably bite you. It's hard enough giving my hamster a haircut (Yes, I do give him haircuts--he's a long-haired, and grows really long bits in random places. Recently, though, I haven't done it as much because it looks cool and funky.)

[babewithbrains_14]

A tarantula wouldn't bite you if it was asleep.

Unless it sleep-bites.

[surprised_by_witches]

So, you're going to drug it first?

[babewithbrains_14]

It'd probably bite me when I was trying to drug it. :p

Will be out on the 16/09/2005:knockedout:

[J. M. Pescado]

Meh. Mine isn't due to arrive for about 6-8 weeks.

have to buy a pair of glasses before ts2nl sigh

You know, this whole spider thing has reminded me of this story my old science teacher told us (it feels weird calling her old, but now that the new school year has started...). Her younger sister used to collect little plastic spiders. She had this humongous one shaped as a tarantula, and it was really realistic and even had little hairs on it. One time she and her friends and her sister were fooling around the in the basement of the house, throwing them at each other, and she bent down to grab the plastic tarantula. Just as she was about to close her fingers around it, it moved! She started screaming, her sister started screaming, their friends started screaming, and they all ran upstairs...screaming. Now she figures it was someone's pet that got loose and somehow got into the house. Isn't that pretty creepy?

Well, the whole screaming thing reminded me of another story, LOL. Okay, first of all, my siblings are Claire and Matt and my cousins are Kenny and Chrissy. So we were in Chrissy's bedroom with the lights all turned off. Only a small candle was in the middle of the circle we were sitting in. We were telling sary stories to each other--they weren't that scary, mind you, because we were all relatively young--and the fact that we're sharing scary stories with the lights turned off and in Chrissy's room where the trapdoor to the attic is might sound a little weird, but my cousins rope us into doing that sort of thing really often. Matt started telling this story about a fly on a ceiling, and it kept crawling around and sniffing (well, I don't know if a fly really sniffs with that tube thingy) and occasionally flying. It was a pretty stupid story, but since we were all young we were a little creeped out. Then Chrissy looked up and saw a fly on the ceiling of her room, and she started screaming, then Ken started screaming because Chrissy was screaming, Matt was screaming because he decided that if Ken was screaming it wouldn't be girly if he did, and then Claire started screaming, and, of course, I started screaming, and we all ran downstairs where our aunt was cooking dinner, and it was nice and warm and bright.

Wow. Long post.

Meh. Mine isn't due to arrive for about 6-8 weeks. Since many will wait until you fix Nightlife or say it's the biggest piece of garbage ever programmed...can't you light a fire under that agent that brings your stuff? 6-8 weeks is starting to sound like a pattern. That's not a good thing. Personally, I think it would be better for you to find a Wal-Mart and buy a copy the day it comes out. That has a real element of surprise. I checked the gun laws, so I know you can even wear that pack and go armed to the teeth without being mistaken for a suicide bomber or terrorist. I'm pretty sure this look would clear out the electronics department and let you be first in line. You'd be in and out in less than 5 minutes. Just think how nice it will be not posting "I still don't have the game" hundreds of times. This is not an efficient use of time either. The only problem was that I could only find 6 Wal-Marts in Montana. That can't be right, can it?

[Lynet]

Wow. Montana :cool: . Never been there but I picture lots and LOTS of space. Maryland is so crowded. And too close to D.C.

[Kristalrose]

JMP, I haven't been over to MoreAwsomeThanYou for a few days. Have you told all your followers that it will take that long for you to get it yet? I'm sure they are crushed! ;)
