In my game the zzZZ are removed from the coffin, whether it is used by a vampire or a normal sim... Anyone else having problems with the coffins?

Ahh! This explains a lot...

Som "zzZZ" are "global", i.e. I can remove them from *all* the existing (Maxis and custom) objects with a single hack. Other zzZZ are "private", i.e. embedded in the single object, like the coffin: my hack can only remove the effect from the Maxis coffin, while any custom clone will still have the zzZZ.

As for the need to sell and re-buy the Maxis coffin, this may be needed, in some cases, in order to force the game to "realize" that the hack is now preventing the effect.

Thanks for the feedback

I can't download the file - Has something happened or is my computer just having a fit?

Thanks for this anyway - Will be really helpful when I can download it!

Forget the things we swore we meant.

This was definitely needed. Any chance you could remove the sparkles from food?

Hi Numenor!

I love your hack, but unfortunatly it causes a bug with the new expansion freetime. Every food disapears after cooking, when this mod is in the downloads-folder. I hope, you can fix this problem soon.

Thanks for reporting, I still couldn't check this mod against FreeTime.
I wonder what connection there may be between the "zzZZ" effect and the foods, but dealing with this game nothing can surprise me any more

However, please go on with your tests, just to be sure that it's this mod really to blame.
Have you tried to remove all the custom content except thi mod?

Hi Numenor, I have the same problem like Stev. When I put your mod out of my download folder, the food problem doesn't exist anymore. Greetz, Doc

I also had this problem I have spent the past 2 hours going through ALL my downloads and testing all of them and this one was causeing the food issue and when I took it out I can serve the food just fine.
I even made a post on the bbs and people who tried it all say it works for them when they take it out.

Yeah, like everybody's said, I simply removed the file and cooking was functional again. I should be able to run tests with this hack as the only custom content tomorrow, but in the meantime, would you like an error log? I don't know if that's even helpful, but I thought I'd offer. :p

I took all my downloads out and use a sim in the new hood and starting to put hacks in one by one. When I put this one in alone they had stop getting the food, they can cook it just can serve it the food disappears then the sim jumps back. I know I thought it was strange that it affected the food too! I never would have thought this hack was causing this.

Just a thought I know that the sims could fall asleep while eating what that has to do with Freetime that is different I don't know.

Things that make you go Hmmm.

Thread Update!

02 MAR 2008 - UPDATE & BUGFIX

Fixed for FreeTime: Got rid of a conflict that caused a sim reset when most of the hobby activity (including cooking) were performed. Now the code is clean and perfectly compatible with FreeTime

Please download the updated mod from the first post.
-----------------------------------------------------

Stev84, Doc Jones, Y2kRobie, Daisie, toriamos: As you can read above, the problem was more serious than just cooked food disappearing; every time the sim performed an activity that increase his passion for a hobby (this includes cooking), the sim just had a "jump bug" because the game couldn't create the hobby icon over the sim's head. Now the problem is solved; thank you all for your valuable contribution!!!

The problem was so obvious with cooking, I didn't even test any other interaction.

Thanks for fixing the mod that quick.

Thanks for the quick fix! It's really appreciated.

One small thing - you might want to change the thread title so no one overlooks the update, the way I almost did.
