Sims 2 content is not compatable with the previous The Sims "1" game.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

Unzip and put the filed ending in ".package" into this folder: 
C:\My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Downloads

NOTE:  If you installed the game in a different folder then adjust that directory path appropriately.  Most of you have the "../Downloads" folder already, but if not then just create it.  Scroll to the bottom of this page for additional tips & links.

DESCRIPTION:

Plum Bob Crystal Routing Patch
Buy Mode Price:  49
Buy Mode Category:  Decorative
Enabled for use at-home and on all away-from-home lots

Requirements:  The Nightlife expansion pack.  At the time of this writing, Pets is the most current expansion released -- it works with all known expansions and all the SPs... just as long as you have Nightlife installed.

Object Description:
Now your Sims can move around the lot using any of the 7 main movement (routing) options at anytime, including "Teleport Here" (even Toddlers can use it!) and "Sneak Here" which was reserved for the Burglar NPC.  They can also get "Fly Here" and "Stalk Here" whether they are a Vampire or not.  And also use any of the more normal ones too, like "Run Here", etc. All these options work when you installed the file, so you don't even have to "buy" this object from Buy Mode if you don't want to.  But you should REMOVE THIS FILE from your game BEFORE you install any new expansions or official patches.  A safety alert is also in the object in case you forget.  Additional details are available in the game by clicking "Info".  A quirky "Gaze" feature is also included, to increase Comfort & Fun, but this euphoria is slightly draining (in Energy).  Hope you like! :)

GAMEPLAY NOTES -- PLEASE READ:

*****************************************************************************
*****************************************************************************

If you have The Sims 2 University expansion pack, you will have a cool glowy foggy effect around the crystal.  If you don't, you'll have a smoky steamy effect instead.  awwww yeaaaah duuuude huhuhhuhuhhhuh....  %}

"Gaze" into the crystal to increase Comfort and (for some) Fun, and decrease Energy.

This object is also a patch.  It does not need to be bought in Buy Mode to work, it only has to be installed in your "../Downloads folder".  You probably noticed that Sims can't always route (move) to places the same way everytime - for example, sometimes the "Run Here" is available, sometimes it's not.  This patch will allow your Sims & Guests to use all 7 main routing options at anytime:

"Teleport Here" (adjusted to include Children & Toddlers!)
"Sneak Here" (the hidden movement which was reserved for the Burglar NPC)
"Run Here"
"Go Here"
"Skip Here" (not one of our favorites, but...)
"Fly Here" (whether Vampire or not)
"Stalk Here" (whether Vampire or not)

Note that Sims currently swimming or holding objects (including babies) might have to stop doing that before they can have access to certain routing options.  At anytime if you want to return your routing options back to the game norm, then simply delete this ".package" file from your "../Downloads" folder.  Everything will revert back to normal.  

IMPORTANT:  This patch has been adjusted for use with the Nightlife (NL) expansion pack and anything older you may have.  It also works with the newer expansions Open For Business (OFB) and Family Fun Stuff (FFS), as long as you also have Nightlife.  

At the time of this object's last update, Pets was the newest expansion available.  We HIGHLY recommend that you remove this object from your "../Downloads" folder BEFORE installing any newer expansion packs or any official Maxis game patches.  If in the future, you install expansion(s) released after Pets, you might still be able to use this but obviously it's impossible for us to know for sure since nothing newer has been released at the time this was written.  Any questions, please contact us or visit Simslice -- we might have made a newer version.  Either way, we hope you enjoy it!

NOTE:  This patch will probably supercede any previous destination hack you may have (...if any - for example if you downloaded and installed the Insimenator dest edition from another site).  If you don't have any other patches, then just disregard this Note.  Special thanks to Guabaman for bringing this to our attention.  You can read and post more on this topic in our forums, 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.
