Thank you for downloading from SIMSLICE! :)

Please do not copy, clone, hack, sell, distribute to others or post on other sites.  If you have questions about anything, or if you obtained this from somewhere other than Simslice, please send an email to service@simslice.com.  Thanks, and enjoy! :)

NOTE:  Sims 2 content is not compatible with the previous The Sims "1" game.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

UPDATE:  Updated the file to work with the The Pets expansion pack, if you have it.  If you don't, it doesn't matter because this object also works with any version of The Sims 2.

Unzip and put the file 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"))

DESCRIPTION:

Halloween Tombstone!
Buy Mode Price:  666
Buy Mode Category:  Decorative
Statistics:  Fun 3
Enabled for use at-home and on all away-from-home lots
Requirements:  None - Made to work with any version of The Sims 2 game

Object Description:

This tombstone comes with R.I.P. plaque and a variety of scary features.  Sims can use this to scare off any Sim from the lot at anytime!  They will drop what they are doing, approach the Tombstone, react in fright and run off the lot.  A fun way to get rid of leeching guests or annoying NPCs that you don't want to have around (like the Social Worker or the Burglar).    Sims can also pay their respects - but not-so-nice Sims might prefer a desecration..... Also, TS2U users can turn any Sim on the lot into a Zombie at anytime!  When you're done with your Zombie party, you can turn them all back into normal Sims.  Happy Halloween!

GAME PLAY INFO:

If you don't have the Sims University (TS2U) expansion pack, you won't see any of the Zombie actions.  That is because those require that expansion.  If you have it, you'll see them.

Sims can only scare visitors off the lot, not family members.  When a Sim is scared off the lot, there is occassionally a Sim who will stand in front of the Tombstone for a few seconds after screaming in fear and before running off.  No biggie, it's just the way the code processes the leave.

For TS2U Users:  Depending on your processor, the game might lag for a few seconds as a Sim is changed into a Zombie, or a Zombie back into a Sim.  Children cannot become Zombies, but they can turn others into Zombies.

Happy Halloween!

Updated January 2006:  Nightlife users can now turn any Sim on the lot into a Vampire anytime.  They can also cure any Sim of Vampirism.  If you cure a Vampire in the daylight, in some cases the "sun steam" might stick around.  If that happens, certain activities will remove it, such as going to sleep in a bed and then getting back up.

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.
