INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

Unzip and put any files ending in ".package" into this folder: 
C:\..\My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Downloads
Or if you are a frequent downloader, it might help you organize your downloads better if you created a new folder and named it "Simslice", like this:
C:\..\My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Downloads\Simslice

(Note:  The "Downloads" folder is not created when the game is installed, but only when the auto-installer from the game is first used.  So if you don't have this "Downloads" folder or if you are new to downloading, simply create the folder in that location (spelled exactly the same - use the capital "D"))

NOTE:  If you previously downloaded the Wonder Woman NPC, these SI and Mad Bomber files may already be in your game.  You can over-write them or not - they are the same files.  See additional info about the files below under "TS2 GAMEPLAY INFO".

DESCRIPTION:

Captain Hero, Sr. NPC & Stress Doll

Buy Mode Price:  12
Buy Mode Category:  Hobbies -> Recreation

Enabled for use on all lots
Requirements:  None - made to work with any version of The Sims 2.
Statistics: Fun 10; Comfort 5; Brand NEW character for The Sims 2!

Object Description:

Ready to fight off burglars and criminals... usually?  The "original" Captain Hero to the rescue! (...mostly).  After all, he's not as young as he used to be.  Use this Captain Hero "classic" doll to summon this brand new NPC (Non Player Character).  He is NOT a "replacement" NPC - it is a completely NEW and UNIQUE character we created, with his own needs, personality, skills and interests.  And you can materialize him onto your lot at the click of a button.  He is fully interactive with ALL social interactions available, just like with regular Sims.  He can live, eat, sleep, interact with Sims, go to work and even die (...perish the thought).  You can play games with him, date him, move him into your family and even marry him if you choose.  Fun new surprises have been coded in as well (especially if your Sim is in Law Enforcement).  In fact, even our surprises have surprises!  If Captain Hero becomes a part of your family, she will stop roaming about hacking up a lung and be a fully controllable Elder Sim.  Additional details are in the enclosed "readme" file that came with this download.

This doll is dressed in the Captain Hero "classic" uniform (from TS1 days).  In addition, it also functions like our "Stress Doll" (a different download) - the doll can take any abuse you dish out, providing stress-relieving Fun & Comfort.  Plop it down on any surface and give it your worst!  Smush it, Punch it, Yell at it, or even blow it to smitherines!  It rebounds back into shape, ready for Round Two.  Surprises also included here too.  Enjoy!

**SPOILER REQUESTS:  There are MANY surprises in this download, as is the case in just about everything we make.  If you want to know ahead of time what the surprises are and what they do in this download, ask us and we'll tell you.  Just do these three things:
1)  Send us an email at service@simslice.com
2)  Include the words "TS2 Superhero Surprise Request" in your email subject field.
3)  Include the email address associated with your subscription (if it's different than the one you're emailing us from).  We will send the spoilers to that address.  Please double check - if the address is false, you might not receive a response.

TS2 GAMEPLAY INFO:  

What Does NPC Mean?:
"NPC" means "Non Player Character" and refers to Sims in the game that are not controlled directly by the player (such as the Paperboy).  However this is a fully interactive NPC with game (and expansion pack) social interaction options available, just like with other Sims.  If you move him into your family, you will have direct control of him, just like any other family member.

Resurrection From Death:
If Captain Hero dies in the game, you cannot re-spawn him with the doll... sadly, you can only see him by visiting his grave.  However there is a way to bring him back.  Delete the tombstone/urn, save and quit the game.  Then delete the "7Simslice-TS2-CaptainHeroSrNPC.package" file from your Downloads folder, extract that same file from the .zip file you originally downloaded from us, and put that file back in your Downloads folder.  Then run the game and re-spawn him from the doll.  Wahlah!  It's a miracle!

Saying Goodbye:
If it gets late, he is bored or if you click "Say Goodbye", he will leave the lot just like any other visitor.  To bring him back, just re-spawn him from the lamp.  If you need a relationship point boost to help move him into your family, see our "Love Crystal" notes below.

Protection & Socials:
Captain Hero is willing to fight any burglar or criminal on the lot at anytime... but where the spirit is willing, the flesh is weak(er) and he may not always do this.  In fact, you might see him off in the corner somewhere hacking up a lung.  But keep in mind if you spawn him on a lot owned by criminals, he may not take kindly to their presence.  He will however show a particular desire in sharing interests with Sims who have careers in Law Enforcement (teens, adults or elders).  If you move him into your family however, he will behave like a normal Sim and no longer take extra special interest in these things.

Stress Doll Too:
Other than a spawning device, this doll will also act like our Stress Doll.  If you want to download the original stress doll, at the time of this writing, it is posted in TS2 Objects on page 2:
http://www.simslice.com/thesims2/ts2objects-pg2.htm

Face Changes:
Depending on your game, Captain Hero might have a slightly different looking face than seen in the website pics and he may even be sans his beret.  It just means your game doesn't have certain files, so it automatically generates new ones.  It's no biggie.

Love Crystal - Helps Boost Relationship Points:
If you want a high relationship with him instantly to get him into your family fast, check out our "Love Crystal" which maxes out Relationships with any Sim or NPC you chose, including him (your choice, either as Friends or Lovers).  You can download the Love Crystal separately in our TS2 Objects section, on Page 10 at the time of this writing:  http://www.simslice.com/thesims2/ts2objects-pg10.htm

NEED MORE HELP?:

If you have any questions about downloading, unzipping and installing, please visit our FAQ page which has very detailed instructions at http://www.simslice.com/faq.htm 

Any problems with crashes, freezes or objects not showing up are 99.9% of the time related to either "requirements" not being met, OR a fluke in the downloading/installing process... but it's NOT because of the actual object coding itself.  Check our FAQ page for a very detailed list of these issues and resolutions you can do to resolve them.  Typically the fix is to double check the requirements, and if you meet them, then delete and redownload the item.  Do NOT use Simzip to unzip them.  Further information as previously stated, is detailed on our FAQ page at http://www.simslice.com/faq.htm.  If you still need help after consulting our FAQ page, please contact us and we'll try to help further.
