Thanks, ZW! For sure, people wouldn't go through such trouble to write elaborate mods for the game if they liked the way it was right out of the box.
I haven't tried it yet but, for the record, now I've installed all these goodies from Ancient Highways:
ah_TeenTeachHhomework
ah_UniFamilies
ah_YAEnabledPregnancy
ah_YAMarriage
ah_YAweddingarch
InTeenimater_FlavorPak_ResidentialGraduates
I don't have InTeenimater installed. I used to have it but took I it out because it conflicted with another hack that I wanted even more.
I also installed TwoJeffs's
No More Secret Abductions.
Now all I need is some time to play the game!
