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:

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:

Pet Smoke!
Buy Mode Price:  15
Buy Mode Category:  Decorative -> Miscellaneous
Statistics:  May show some lighting for extra effects
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:

A fully animated but harmless decorative array of smoke effects you can place anywhere on your lot.  They can intersect any Sim or object.  For a different look, you can change the size and/or type of smoke:  black, white, green... eleven (11) different options are available.  Lastly, this smoke will never go out... unless you snuff it out.  Enjoy! :)

GAME PLAY INFO:

The thumbnail pic in the Buy Mode catalogue will say "No Pic".  That is part of the game code, because technically the smoke object has no true texture.  It's nothing to be concerned about.  When you place it on the lot, it will appear as an invisible object.  But when you go into Live Mode, the smoke will appear immediately, and you move it or change it to your liking.

The Pet Smoke will NOT lower the Environment score, so use as many of them as you want.  The only place they can't be placed is in swimming pools (sorry, no "smoke on the water" just yet).  ;)

Depending upon the speed of your processor, filling a lot with smoke may or may not cause some slowness.  

When you change the smoke, it will take a few seconds to take effect.  If you're in a rush and try to speed up the game, it won't change any faster that way.  You might also notice a "fire" thumbnail image in the action queue, but it means nothing and can be disregarded.

If you enjoy this, try complimenting it with our TS2 Pet Fire, in TS2 objects on page 9 at the time of this writing:

NOTE:  Objects shift to latter pages over time, so if you don't find it there, try the next page.  Or try searching by keyword via our Search Page here:  http://www.simslice.com/search.html

For those that enjoy the original The Sims (TS1) game, we also have a "Pet Fire" for that game too, posted in our TS1 Lighting Objects page here:

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.
