Fixes and patches for the game. You'll find the most recent stuff at the top of the list.
Patch for excessive Maxis prudery
Seems like someone actually is offended by badly drawn cartoon nudity, namely Maxis themselves. A new feature of Superstar is that any Sim who is idle (ie. doesn't have an action in their queue) and who happen to be naked, will automatically be dressed in their normal clothes. So, objects like the "Health & Efficiency" collection (on the objects page), or costume changing doors, etc. no longer work properly, and bang go all those wonderful nudist lots that you've worked so hard on.
This patch should fix the problem, but use it with caution, and remember:
- It only works with the first release of Superstar, with no official Superstar patches installed.
- You should remove it before installing new expansion packs, or any official Maxis patches for Superstar.

Buy and Build Mode Enablers for Superstar
Patches to enable buy and build modes on sowntown lots, vacation lots, unleashed community lots and studio lots for those with Superstar installed. You won't be able to save any of the changes that you make, but it will enable you to use the "move_objects on" cheat. These were all hacked from the Superstar version of the game; you should remove buy/build patches created from earlier versions of the game before installing them.

Hot Date Customised Restaurant Patch (Pre-SS)
Ever noticed how empty "cloned" downtown restaurants are? You can usually get your controlled sim and his/her date to eat in one, but you never see pairs of uncontrolled townies and neighbours eating there, like you do with the original Maxis restaurants. You might see the occasional solo diner, but that's it.
This patch should fix this problem for some, if not most, cloned restaurants - and more importantly, it won't affect the behaviour of the Maxis originals. Obviously, I haven't been able to test it with every restaurant that exists, so I can't guarantee it will work under all circumstances. In particular, it probably won't work for any restaurant that uses a clone of the DTController.iff file, instead of using DTController.iff itsself. But why not give it a whirl and see if it works for you?
Note: Cloned from the game with Unleashed installed, so probably requires Unleashed.

Silent Flies and Stealth Flies (Pre-UL)
A couple of patches which make those pesky flies that appear around dirty objects on the lot a bit easier to put up with. (Note: the spoiled food/old trash flies will still appear). Silent Flies show up, but don't make that annnoying buzzing sound, while Stealth Flies don't show up at all.

Renee The Barmaid's Head Texture
Renee The Barmaid is one of the three possible barmaids that you get with the Translight Bar Station in HD/SV. Unfortunately, Maxis seem to have forgotten to include her head texture - which is C038FALgt_rave1.bmp - in the earliest versions of the game, with the result that she shows up with a grey head. Download this file, unzip it, and put it in your skins folder to cure the problem.
