Most Wanted Hacks
First of all, thank you to everyone who helped me to troubleshoot my game issues in the last post. As always, I appreciate your help immensely. In the end, it was a simple matter of placing the no-cd crack in the wrong folder. I feel a little better knowing that I'm not the only one who has made the same mistake.
My next hurdle to jump in the quest to get my game running properly again is to rebuild my downloads folder. You see, I may have lost my entire uberhood (with ALL of the households played to 14 sim days) and a good portion of my downloads folder to the hard drive failure of my old PC. *deep breath* I'm okay. There's very little I can't just shrug off these days. And let this be a lesson to you all. Go make backups, and not just half-assed ones where you sort of have copies, but not really, and you're just swapping in and out hoods without also keeping a copy in your external drive. Seriously, double check that you have a decent backup. Do it.
On the bright side, I do still have Elsewhere and the Tomato Legacy and all of my other hoods. I also, by some strange luck, still have my Bodyshop and Build Mode sub-folders of my Downloads folder. What I do not have: Hair, Buy Mode, Defaults, Hacks, and Storytelling (hacks and pose boxes) sub-folders. I'm going to take the first two as a blessing in disguise and a chance to scale back my cc a little. I'll gather up the hair and recolours of buy mode items as I realize what I truly need and want. Defaults, I'll figure out. Hacks, I need pronto. Storytelling stuff is also pretty key.
What hacks do you absolutely need for your game? I know I need the MATY Director's Cut and ACR 2.0, and some of the others are coming back to me as I look into it, but I don't remember everything I had. If you wouldn't mind tossing out some of your must haves for me to peruse (or share a link to your resources post), I'd really appreciate it.
