C&C is proud
to introduce a new hacker family member!
Featured Artist: Deb
I was introduced
to the Sims a few years ago by my niece. Without playing the game, my
first thought was "Oh how boring would this game be!" However,
after being shown the game, I was intrigued. Then I made my first mistake,
I purchased The Sims and started playing. The next day, I bought the two
available expansion packs at the time (LL and HP). I've been hooked ever
since!
Not being impressed with the objects MAXIS provided
in the game and after the discovery of the plethora of wonderful objects,
skins and more available on Sims fan sites, I made my second mistake.
I was soon spending long, sleepless nights, downloading, collecting and
organizing all of the wonderful stuff available. I often thought how cool
it must be to be talented enough to create original objects that other
people would want.
Being a computer programmer and used to making software
do what I want it to do, I soon began to think that "this object
is great but it would be even better if it did ..." Enter my third
mistake, the discovery that objects can be hacked. At first I was dazed
at the complexity of the objects and wondered if I would ever be able
to "Crack the Code." But with the great tools made available
by other Sims fans and using my computer science training, I began to
dissect the objects, one piece at a time, trying to understand it all.
Eventually, the proverbial light came on and it started to make sense.
Not only could I enjoy the SIMS but now I could enjoy it the way I wanted
to enjoy it. And with many thanks to the wonderful people at C & C
Enterprises, I can now share my work with you.

DEB'S
IMPROVED MICE
26-may-03
No
longer do you have to search until you are cross-eyed for the elusive
tiny dead mouse left behind by your cat after its mouse chase. Dead
mice laying about can send room scores plummeting down, not to mention
attract more roaches, flies and
even more mice.
TWO VERSIONS ARE
AVAILABLE - BUT YOU CAN ONLY USE ONE!
Deb's Improved
Mice - Just Catch version: With
this version, the cat ends its mouse hunt after catching the mouse
so that it can use its energy for other things, and does not leave
the dead mouse behind. Rumor has it that the cat eats the mouse
(Yuck!!). No dead mice, no more flies and no more low room scores
caused by dead mice. Both versions still increase the cat's hunting
skills and the fun and hunger ratings are increased as well. You
will also find that your cat will want to catch mice more often. Download
the "Just Catch" version.
Deb's Improved Mice
- Bring to Master version: With this version, the cat
brings the dead mouse gift to its master (i.e. if the master is
not at work or otherwise unavailable), but does not leave the dead
mouse behind. Rumor has it that the cat eats the mouse (Yuck!!).
No dead mice, no more flies and no more low room scores caused by
dead mice. Both versions still increase the cat's hunting skills
and the fun and hunger ratings are increased as well. You will also
find that your cat will want to catch mice more often. Download
the "Bring
to Master" version.

PODIUMS
It is black tie only at any restaurant featuring
the Emerald Isle dining podium. Have you just spent
the day at the beach and you forgot to bring your formal clothes
for dinner? No problem! The leprechaun's will do their magic and
you will be instantly transformed into your best formal attire ready
to enjoy your dining experience.
It is 'Expanded' black tie
only at any restaurant featuring the Emerald Isle
ExpandedFormal dining podium. Be forwarned,
even if you purchased a formal for your Sim, using this podium will
dress your Sim and every other Sim that dines into the expanded
formal. If you want to see your Sim in the formal that you bought
for them, then use the Black Tie Only Dining Podium (with the gold
celtic knot on left).
Make sure you download the booth and the NPCS below to make
those podiums work!

BOOTH
Ahhh, the leprechaun's have been at it again. With the Emerald
Isle dining booth, every date will be magical. You will
find your dining experience truly enjoyable, exhilarating and refreshing
and afterwards you will both be ready to have fun. If you truly
want to impress your date, take him or her to a restaurant featuring
the Emerald Isle dining booths.
NPCs
Finally a Maitre D' that works with user created
booths and podiums without standing near your Sim's table for the
entire meal. Sims need their privacy just as we do! How are they
going to cuddle with the Maitre D' staring down his nose at them.
He is a Maitre D' not a chaperone!
Have you just gone out for a
romantic dinner and everything is magical until, like a needle screeching
across a record, the musician pulls out a parrot
puppet to entertain you? Are you as tired of this as I am? Well,
if you are, this patch is for you. No more puppet
entertainment, only violin and guitar for a quiet, peaceful, and
romantic evening.
ACCESSORIES
When you see the mug and shamrocks beckoning
you inside, you know that you will find good friends, good fun
and good Guinness!
When the Shamrock sign is outside, you know
that you will find a pleasant relaxing dining experience inside.
Emerald Isle Awning May your every day be a bright green diamond day :D !!!!
Emerald Isle Erin Go Bragh painting full of
celtic symbols, the golden harp and shamrocks, brings wishes of
'Ireland Forever' in Gaelic. The true Gaelic words are Éireann
go Brách, but the English spelling is Erin Go Bragh.
