Desk Fix
Submitted by Cyjon on Sat, 2008-09-06 08:46DESCRIPTION: Children can place items like homework on desks more successfully.
Does not fix the Country Desk from Seasons since it uses its own weird slots to keep people from reaching through the solid hutch on the back. Should work on all others desks including custom desks.
People still occasionally have trouble if the only access to the desk is on the diagonal but the behavior is inconsistent.

No Visiting Professors
Submitted by Cyjon on Thu, 2008-09-04 23:36DESCRIPTION: Prevents those creepy Art professors from stalking your dorms.
Plantsim Fix
Submitted by Cyjon on Thu, 2008-09-04 22:21DESCRIPTION: Fixes a bug that prevents players from getting plantsims unless they play the same lot without saving for several game days.
As you may know, you become a plantsim once you have sprayed crops more than a certain number of times. The problem is that when you leave a lot, whether to go to the neighborhood or to go to a commercial lot, it doesn't save the spray count so it resets to zero.
Job Typo Fixes
Submitted by Cyjon on Thu, 2008-09-04 21:41DESCRIPTION: Fixes typos in the job titles.
A "douser" is a person who throws water on someone. A "dowser" is someone who searches for water. After the dowser has found water, then the douser can throw it on someone.
There is no such word as "restauranteur" in any language that I know of. The correct term is "restaurateur".
Although "investigatory" is technically a word, the correct phrase is "investigative reporter". (I later realized that might be a deliberate Zoolander reference, but it's still wrong.)
Clean Neighborhoods
Submitted by Cyjon on Mon, 2008-09-01 18:02DESCRIPTION: These are copies of Riverblossom Hills (from Seasons) and Desiderata Valley (from FreeTime) that have been cleaned of excess characters. They include only the playable sims with no townies or NPCs. Installation instructions are included in each zip.
No Soaping Fountains
Submitted by Cyjon on Thu, 2008-08-28 16:55DESCRIPTION: Soaping fountains is not longer allowed, either autonomously or player-directed.
Covers fountains in all the EPs through FreeTime.

KNOWN ISSUE: According to http://www.simbology.com/smf/index.php?topic=8675.0 there is apparently a bug in this mod that prevents business inheritance. There is a link to a corrected version. If I get back to modding, I'll take a look at it myself.

No Visitor Dance Bar
Submitted by Cyjon on Thu, 2008-08-28 16:45DESCRIPTION: Visitors will no longer use the dance bar, either the one you can buy or the Dance career reward. Playable sims can still use these autonomously, since this is one of the few autonomous skill building actions they will do.

No Auto Perform
Submitted by Cyjon on Thu, 2008-08-28 16:43DESCRIPTION: Sims will no longer perform with instruments or join performances autonomously.
