Well, firstaful THANKS for the awesome idea! I'm pretty new to this page and didn't know that there was stuff like that to download! AWE-SOME!

But (there's always a "but").. I downloaded it on my first visit to this page (this is 2nd) and i can't remember if it was befor July 27th or not. What happened: I installed it but right when i start the game it shows an error to this hack, so i could enable all the other custom-stuffs but this one. Anyways, i re-downloaded it and REALLY hope it works!

Thanks a lot for your effort, you guys seem to be crazy ;-) in a good way!

BTW, i have all 3 EPs. Grettings, Sue*

Default Won't work
I installed the program in my game and I can't get it to work. I have all the EP's and I have the Inteenimater 1.4 and 1.4a flavor pack installed. I uninstalled the inteenimater and it still sisn't work. I have tried everything. Can you please help? Thanks. This is really cool, it makes the game more real.

Do you remember what the error was, and if you can post the error log for that error it would be even better. BTW your English is fine.

It can take up to 7 days before a sim has her initial period, after that she'll have a period every 4 days. You can refer to the tweaking guide, that is included in the download, on how to turn the Display Stats feature on. This will show you when a sim is due to start her period. You can then turn the Display Stats off.

How long before the warning appears again (tampons need to be changed every 3 hours)? Does a message saying she changed her tampon appear after she uses the toilet?

No, there's no message saying she changed tampon at all, that's why I think maybe this hack doesn't work correctly for me.
the warning, as I remember, appeared for twice, the 1st time was "she needs to change her tampon soon", and the 2nd was "final warning". then there's a message saying "she used a tampon" but I didn't let her use any toilet. actually, she was at school when that message appeared.

Wow, you guys here come up with the greatest ideas. I love the mods I get here, however a period hack is something I would have never considered, but it's orginial.

this is a BRILLIANT idea! i was shocked that someone actually went through with the idea, and i downloaded it (i had to install Win rar today so I hope it'll work in my game!) immediately after seeing this. great job, i hope it is compatible with my game!
thanks!

When a sim is at school or work she will automatically change her tampon if necessary. I guess it's possible that when she used the toilet before the controller didn't catch it. I've uploaded an extra controller that will let you click on a sim to make her use a tampon.

I tested this one.

It's nice. But I had the weirdest thing - Or it's written and I'm just stupid: My adult woman was on the phone with a friend, Miriam. In the middle of that call I had a message "Miriam missed her period, that has to mean..." or something like that. To make it clear, Miriam doesn't live on the lot I was playing! She's a friend of the adult woman with a 100/66 relationship. After that message Miriam came to the lot and sort of went idle, I didn't try to make my sims communicate with her, the whole family was sleeping. I used moveobjects on and deleted her, but she walked in again as if she was just on a regular walkby. She continued to do so for - I don't know - five, six deletions.

I have a few hacks, but no age or teen etc hacks, just some anti-stupidity hacks. I have all the expansions and Family Fun Stuff installed.

Oh, forgot, I downloaded it yesterday.

When your sims phone others, it brings the other sim to the lot but they are invisible (so you can't see them). As I remember it, the instructions for this hack said any female sim on a lot will have their period. However, it does seem to have made a bug in that it's made the phoned-to sim become visible on the lot.

@ smonaff:

Yepp, now it works ;-)

The problem was... let me see if i can describe it: Well, when i start the game there's a boy appearing. i can either disable or anable the custom stuffs. but right above the "checkboxes" (where u put your cross in) there's a list of all the custom stuffs. and next to the period hack there was a yellow triangle with a "!" in it. So that did not work. but now it does! just re-installed it and it's fine.

So thanks a lot!

P.S. Some people have something under their screenname like u have "lab assisstant". How does that work? AND: What is the inTeen? Is that the Teens-wohoo stuff? If yes, where can i get it?

Greetings, Sue* and yes.. i'm tryin with my english, thx for the nice comment ;-)

The 'Sim X has missed their period. Surely that must mean...' correctly flagged up in my game when one of my sims was in the first trimester of pregnancy. I thought that was a really nice, unexpected touch.

Oh my word! Your hacks are the best! Just when I was running out of ways to torture my sims!

But I must agree, there really should be a Chocolate craving function! And maybe one to crave salt. Those are the two things I crave on my period! Whew! I hate mine!! MEN-stration, MEN-opause, MEN-tal illness...are we noticing a pattern here?!!

Btw, what was the message in the pic that said she missed her period? Does that mean instead of playing the sound cue, it pops up that message when she misses her period?! That would be awesome!

Inteen has a miscarriage funtion? Is that new?

Default Strange Behavior
I've been playing Sims 2 for quite sometime now. I'm no expert in bhav hacking or address modifying even though i've tinkered in a bit of it.

I've been observing the behavior (automonous actions) of the sims on a lot i constructed not to long ago. Before I go on i'd like to mention I have all 3 episodes installed, this does not include the Holiday Pack, or Family Fun Stuff.

I was running my game earlier this evening with this lot, and found my sims to be fully automative and active. If i left them alone for longer than 10 seconds they'd walk off and find something to do - Which is what I wanted them to be like, semi A.I.

I installed the Tampon Packages tonight just to see how it would look in the game, although the hacked packages did do what they promised, several sims had their periods, changed them on the toilet, and their hygiene did decrease before hand.

I noticed an interesting bi-product if you will of the addon, it killed my sims automative actions. at first I thought it was just a fluke messing around with the built in options several times just to make sure I wasn't putting blame on something for no reason.

A few hours later, and after going through literally 100 hacked objects, pulling and putting them back into place to find the source of my decreased auotmative behaviors between my sims. I come across the culprit, which for some odd reason was the Period addon.

I'm not sure what caused this, I don't even know if you can replicate this error and if you can't don't worry then. I'm just reporting it incase someone else has this issue.

I've tried several methods to try and correct it, as I stated earlier all the intentions and predicted actions did happen, it just killed my automative behaviors of my sims. They went to a minimum of "survive or die" mode, they would stand around for literally hours on end before they would get something to eat, with their bars near in the red zone, or go to bed until they passed out on the ground.

Most of the sims in the lot I was testing were very well kept sims, and after eating they refused to clean their own dishes, or wash their hands. These aren't incorporated behaviors I was hoping for.

Anyways, I'm sorry if i'm making this product harder on you to complete. It's not my intentions.
