Image quality, Super Duper Hugs, and writing.

[strangetomato]

Has anyone else noticed their images degrading in quality when they upload them to scrapbook now? For example, the image below seems like it gets sharpened considerably when I upload it, and you can see those lines in the background much more and the hair seems redder (it was taken with the in-game camera). I'm just curious to see if anyone else is experiencing this.

Ron Story, who lives in the House of Fallen Trees in Downtown Elsewhere, is now a teen. And cute. ^_^

I've also noticed I have the menu option for "DEBUG - Super Duper Hug" in the game when I play it right now. I'm reading this thread and see that it is/was hack related. I haven't added back many hacks yet (just MATY stuff and the no red lines mod as of last playing), so I'm assuming this happened when I removed a hack? Anyway, I'm following the advice linked above and I hope that fixes it.

I've also been thinking of setting a bit of a sim story writing goal for myself in the spirit of NaNoWriMo. I don't think I'll declare it publicly, since life can be hectic and my simming time follows my other priorities (in order of parenting, sleep, eating/washing myself, laundry, and maybe cleaning the house) but I have something in mind. We'll see how it goes. ;)

I second this! You have to go back through every lot, but it works. I got the bug after removing Merola's mirror to control visiting sims.

So every lot has to be dealt with individually? That seems like a pain. The mod linked to above ("LBFRemovesocial" file) works if it is just sitting in your downloads folder, so maybe keeping it in there for a while will take care of it without having to do much? I hope so.

It's nice to have more than one option for removing it, all the same. If one doesn't work out, I can always try the other. So far, the LBFRemovesocial seems to be effective for me.

I played a long time before catching it, and I had that mirror in nearly every lot, so I had to go back through all the affected lots to correct it. This was back in 2006, so I'm not sure if there was another workaround back then. Tedious, but it worked. The second time, I got it from a downloaded lot, and I caught it right off the bat.
