Most Wanted Hacks

[strangetomato]

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.

stuff not mentioned yet:

Inge's school and prison, and various stuff
Becks at MTS has toddler and puppy/kitten-enabled stairs
BackalleySims: very interesting things in the adult section (Chris H...something has the fun stuff in his subforum forums - the site is horrible to navigate)
some vampire and werewolf-stuff from DJssims
Inge and Marhis have a special wedding-arc that IIRC allows multiple spouses and no relationship check before marriage
LdDarcy from MATY has some slot-enablers for Maxis furniture
Monique at MTS2 has some auto-payment mods (child support, etc)
NDR at MTS2 has some "flower bench is nature hobby" and similar stuff
I still have Squinge's pee naked and his "hire more employees" mods
SimWardrobe has some interesting stuff, especially the "make employees work" related, but others, too

ETA: I don't know where it's from exactly (maybe MTS2?), but "tunaisfish" has a mod that takes that one borked attraction trait and turns it into an "alien" attraction trait (there is also a version that works with cboy's cock mod that adds a "well hung" attraction trait, but you can only have one or the other, and I don't know where the cboy-related one is - probably MATY?).

Thank you! That's a great list. :)

The more links people post, the more I realize I had a LOT of hacks in my game. Perhaps I should try to take a more minimal apprach this time, at first. It's worth considering. (Check back in a week and I bet I'll have them all again, though. :P)

Thanks so much for your help. It's greatly appreciated.
