* '''Many of Cyjon's mods require his [http://cyjon.net/node/323 Smarter EP Check] mod'''. Many of BoilingOil's mods do too. I recommend you get this mod now so you don't have to remember which mod needs it or not, and just leave it in your Downloads folder. It won't affect your gameplay in any way or form, so you won't lose or gain anything just by having it.

* '''Many of [[J.M. Pescado]]'s mods are available in his [http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,8.0.html Director's Cut]'''. I may link to it occasionally. The complete list of mods inside the director's cut can be found [http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=14444.0;attach=10692 here] (just unzip the RAR file and extract the .doc file). '''Note''': You do NOT have to install all the mods inside the Director's Cut! Only install what you want to install. Hack descriptions are available [[User:K6ka/Pescado's Director's Cut Hack Descriptions|'''here''']].

* Some hacks may conflict with other hacks. Hack conflicts are not the end of the world, usually. The game usually loads mods in alphabetical order, so mods that are closer to "A" will load first, and mods closer to "Z" will load last. Code that loads last will overwrite code that loaded first, so usually the coding in the mod closer to "Z" will override earlier mods. More information on load order [http://modthesims.info/wiki.php?title=Load%20Order here] and [http://modthesims.info/t/478024 here]. The '''[http://www.paladins-place.org/zips/programs/Sims2HCDU-02.00.03.zip Hack Conflict Detection Utility]''' created by SimWardrobe can locate possible hack conflicts and lists them. The HCDU lists hack conflicts by load order, so the mod closer to the bottom of the list is usually the "dominant" one.

** Anyway, the point I'm trying to make here is that I will usually list mod conflicts if they conflict with another mod that's also on this list, and I will usually provide a fix for it.

* This handy little food replicator allows you to instantly materialize any of the in-game foods right at your command. Now if your Sim wants to eat pancakes but doesn't have the cooking skill needed to prepare it, all they have to do is use this little gizmo and they'll be eating like a king in minutes.

* The food replicator also includes a number of custom foods that you may or may not want. I personally don't care and excluded their supporting files. The replicator works just fine without those custom foods.

* '''Note:''' For some reason the protein shake option on the ''FreeTime'' version of the replicator doesn't produce an actual protein shake, just a liquid instant meal. No idea why.

* This nifty little object allows you to pick up the phone and dial up for the instantaneous delivery of any [[Aspiration reward (The Sims 2)|aspiration reward]], [[career reward]], and many other exclusive objects that would normally take some effort to obtain. These include treasure chests (obtained after digging for treasure and hoping you get lucky), booty plundered from the [[pirate ship]], [[Rod Humble|Mr. Humble's gift]], all [[hobby]] plaques and magazines, the maps to all the secret ''Bon Voyage'' lots, etc etc etc. Occasionally you will also find an option to purchase items at a discounted price off the black market, although Slater, the "generous" merchant, seems too good to be true at times (Some of the objects I bought were broken right out of the box. Wow, thanks Slater.).

* '''Note:''' Don't click on the phone receiver as that will cause your Sim to "jump". If you have [[testingcheatsenabled]] turned on, they will receive an Object Error dialog, which you can resolve by clicking "Reset". Click on the phone base to access the options. It can function like a regular phone. [[Child]]ren can use this phone like any other phone, but won't be able to make purchases.
