I'm really enjoying the pack now. I had some frustrating days because I seemed to get the NAP glitch worse than many people did. My Sims couldn't do anything really until I installed the right mod. But now I am back to loving the pack! I love the world, the premades, the Sim traits, the lot traits, the CAS items, and the build/buy items. I haven't done much yet with the community lots or with trying to turn the worlds green. Using the fabricators and other machines is a lot of fun. I'm really glad I bought the pack!
In case you haven't seen these mods yet, I am using:
Simvasion's updated (second version) Civic Policy Tweaks mod. This solved all the wacko NAP issues for me!
I installed Scarlet's No Eco Footprint Decay mod. I don't know if it's working yet, because I haven't really tried changing my worlds' eco footprints yet.
A mod called MSNoRoughhousing. This stops random fighting. It works perfectly! I haven't yet tested to see whether I still need this mod now that I have the Civic Policy Tweaks 2.0 mod.
