Poopy

I have today off, which is a very nice thing indeed. I've mostly been puttering at the new neighborhood, but eventually I decided I should probably head out and take care of some errands. While I was out, I stopped at Best Buy and picked up Mansion & Garden Stuff.

I figured I would install it now before I get too far into making the sims for the neighborhood. Upon arriving home, I set about backing up everything I had so far and even went so far as to start putting the disc in when I realized that I was forgetting one crucial issue.

Nothing is updated for it yet. Specifically, SimPE is not updated for it yet. And I still need that to finish up the transfer of sims (I'm not going to write down all their interests and such when I can just pop open two instances of SimPE and compare old and new neighborhoods).

Crap on a stick.

Well, I've got this shiny new box on my desk winking at me as I grumble and continue plugging away at the new hood. I will have those new hairstyles. I will have them!

Well, at least you realized before you installed.

You want the hair; I want the quartertile cheat and the roofslopeangle tool. But things I keep hearing are putting me off of this pack a little bit. I wonder if EA will end up patching it.

I'm sure they will. From what I've been able to gather, M&G is almost a mini-expansion pack. With the building cheats it adds and the new animations, it does more than most of the other stuff packs do.

Some of the stuff I heard made me worry a little bit, but I've never had a problem (knock on wood) installing new stuff. And while I don't want to discount problems anyone is having or forgive bugs that really should have been fixed before release, but there tends to be a Chicken Little effect with Sims2 stuff. A few people have a problem, complain really loudly, and suddenly the community has their pitchforks and torches pointed in EA's direction again.
