Bon Voyage, Stuff Packs and Download Searching

[Delphy]

Hi All,

The downtime earlier on was so that I could update the site and add the following:


Bon Voyage EP selection to profile and download / upload screens
Celebration Stuff to download / upload screens
H&M Fashion Stuff to download / upload screens


In addition, you'll notice on the top left of the Download browser that the Search box now has 2 options: All and This forum and children. This essentially means you can search within, for example, Pets, or Lots, and it will return only results from that forum and below and not results from the entire downloads section.

That's it for today - more coming soon.

Regards
Delphy

thanks Delphy :P

[Masterofallvideogames]

nice Im getting mine Sunday at Circuit City( I like saving money)

[roxyran]

The new download template is brilliant, Delphy. Great work!

I can't wait to get my hands on Bon Voyage, as well, if my school schedule allows it (geez, isn't it so, like, inconvenient when teachers give you homework?)

[maxpax318]

Thanks for keep the site up to date Delphy :)

[patul]

Useful search tool improvment thank you again and again Delphy and all the staff.

[Cidira]

Ooh, thank you for making it easier to search just specific subsections of the site. I could already do it in advance search, but this is less of a pain in the tush. ;)

[Elephant]

what about the holiday SP or holiday edtion? Shouldn't there be an option that says an upload requires that?

[Daisie]

Thank you Delphy. :D I love the search feature especially! However...

I hate to post a problem, but any time that I search with the drop-down box in the navbar, I get this message: "This is not a valid download forum." I tried search terms that I knew would normally get results, but it still didn't work (in IE7 if it matters). I figured you'd want to know; I'm not trying to be a nuisance. :)

[Starfish of Terror]

I really like the new search feature as well, but the "this is not a valid download forum" error keeps throwing me off. I finally located the new search system under the download tab, but it took me a while. And I still keep getting the error. xD;

Thanks so much for all the work you do for this site. =D

[andrewbyrner]

Can someone tell me why my sims 2 Bon Voyage won't load for me ?

[larsson1970]

The new search option is a very good improvement. I think the navbar-search will be updated next (but makes there a 2 option search sense?).

[br3no]

I Got Bon Voyage Yesterday Overall Im Very Impressed!!

[Loverat]

Bon Voyage is out? Well there ya go I had no idea hahah =) Funny I was just last week wanting to search within a forum and here you are doing it. Its like ...we have a connection....I know it was for me and me alone that you did this...I thank you from the heart of my bottom =)

[ChaoKuang]

Sweetness. :)

Question, is something wrong with QXpress? I keep getting a Division by 0 error message and can't get it to work. :/

[The T]

Nice improvement, Delphy.

[Delphy]

Okay navbar menu search has been fixed. Also, just a note. Only the search box on the top left of the download browser window is context sensitive. The ones in the navbar dropdowns are not context sensitive.

ChaoKuang, please read the thread in site issues.

andrewbyrner, this is not the right place to ask that. See the help forum.

[crocobaura]

Thank you Delphy! This is wonderful news, especially the search function improvement. :)

[rejected.one]

Thank you, Delphy. :) Now searching will be easier for everyone. <3

[RealGanacampo]

The searching improvement sounds great, thanks.

[Lost4Eva]

Thank you:)

[Petchy]

Thanks Delphy, I'm getting mine from the US, From Ebay, (i know, I know!) I don't have a DVD player so the UK won't work for me >=( :lol:


Thanks for the improvements!!

[zolabee]

Thanks for all you do to improve and advance the site! Much appreciated.

[Mihura]

Yes thanks Delphy ! :)

[MizzesSimmer]

Thank you for the constant improvements! Your hard work is really appreciated.

[UserLaura76]

Thank you Delphy. :-) I really appreciate all the hard work that goes into keeping the site up to date.

[mauriemom]

Thank you Delphy. You're efforts continue to make this the leading Sims2 site!

[Masterofallvideogames]

Dang it Circuit City has the $12 dollars off sale, but when I got there they were out of stock. They said they might recieve the next shipment this Wednesday, so I'm going to try to get it then. I now know it must be good if it sold out. *mumbles to self*

[pangolin282000]

Thank you :)

[losonogo]

when i read the headline i thought it meant bon voyage to stuff packs and downloads......what the! that got me in a split second panic, then decided to re read and that answered itself lol
man do i need some much needed sleep
great work delphy....
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[$RaMRoM$]

Yay! thanks D! i cant wait to get bon voyage

[treeag]

I'm wondering if there's going to be a new section for 'jewellery'?

[nixie]

Thank you, your rubber duckiness for the constant imporvements to this already wonderful site.

[Rayea]

hmm..thats gota be usefull...:D

oh, im not sure where to ask thins, but it looks like clean installer can no longer access the packaged file once you go up to Bon Voyage :(

just made a nice family hotel, packaged, then went to use clean installer and when i tried to overwrite the file, it gave me a string of reasons why it couldnt do it and deleted the file.
it also cant even see the file even when its saved to desktop in a seperate folder.....
it also didnt seem to be assosiateing itself with sims2 pack files any more, but i could still look and check all my downloads in the DL folder.

will have to look and see if an earlier (pre BV) sims2 pack file will read and clean.....if yes, then it looks like theres gona have to be a lot of investigating and gnashing of teeth and fist shaking in EA's direction by the installer team

:(

[gonkski222]

I am so very thrilled by the new search feature! I've been wishing and hoping for that for a while. Once again, Delphy, you make our wishes come true!

[AceHole]

MTS2 is a certified UTOPIA ...........THANK YOU guys/gals.....I love this place!!!!!

[Delphy]

Rayea, Clean Installer hasn't had an update since 2005, so it's highly unlikely any teeth gnashing will go on becuase nobody is working on it. :)

[verenaheu]

Thank you for updating and improving all the time!! We all love you all for it!! :)

[johnsnavywife]

Thanks so much!

very nice delphy. awesome site!

[VoVillia]

Yep, I agree!!
Delphy is the MAN!!

[Tragic_mistake]

Thank you for keeping the site up-to-date and running so smoothly. ;)

[ooga booga]

This site gets better all the time! it's just great :jest:
Thanks a ton.

[XTS]

Bon Voyage is a Fantastic EP and Delphy, YOU ROCK.. Of course you know this, I make sure to tell ya but.. I gotta say it again.. Thank you for your devotion!

xts

[Trissle]

Can I ask whether any new jewellery (i.e. jewellery that appears in the maxis jewellery section as opposed to the glasses section) is going to have it's own section or whether it should still go in the accessories section?

[pedroion]

Thank you Delphy, but you guys, beware the Bon Voyage's bug! If you don't have it, wait the official patch release or wait the guys here at MTS2 make an unofficial patch. But thank you Delphy, cool improvements

[Phaenoh]

pedroion, what bug are you referring too?

Delphy? Is it possible to make the second part of the downloads classification part able to accept multiple categories? I hope that makes some sense, I tend to upload things in sets and they don't ever seem to fit right. I make similar outfits for multiple ages and then have to pick one age to put it in. I'm sure other people have run into this before as well. I'm also about to upload alot of buy mode recolors and I wanted to group them similarly. I just wanted to upload them as Seating, since it has dining, living, recliners, and beds in it, but again, I have to pick just one. Would this be hard to change?

Also, I second the request for a BV Jewelry section.

Thanks for listening! Love this site!

[Delphy]

Phaenoh, multiple categories has been on my list of things to do for a very long time, but it's actually quite complex in terms of how you do it, and how it's displayed and handled in the download browser. So it's not something that is possible, but may or may not get done in the future.

[olympia147]

Hi, Delphy!
I can only agree with all the others here; that this is a great site. Thanks for all your fantistic work, and your kind help, when we ask for it. :)
You make my sims game look good.

Thanks again. :)

[enidmaeve]

Thanks, Delphy! You guys do a wonderful job keeping this site up and I'd be lost without it.

[khorkan]

:beer: 3 cheers for all the people involved with making mod the sims a reality for us all :beer:
this is by far the best site out there for sims!!!!
you guys do the best job!!!!! :up:

thanks to you all!!!!!!!!!!!!
and please keep up the wonderful work!!!!!!!!!!

oh & bon voyage rocks in my book 1 of the best they have done yet.

[Smgirl825]

ありがとう (Thank you!)

[BrentMc36]

Thanks Delph your amazing, keep up the brilliant work.
Bon Voyage :)

[texasgirl75006]

I actually bought it yesterday, and i noticed it wasnt very custom content friendly...so i have to disable it in order to play it properly. i hope EA games comes out with a patch soon or maybe someone can tell me how to be able to play bon voyage with my custom content working?

[Wrightguy0]

I'm sorry to be the one to say this, but there does seem to be a wee bit of trouble with the new search feature. It seems to want to return to "this section and children" whenever I put in a search, now this wouldn't be a problem, but for some reason it messes up my search. I can usually get one page of lets just say 60's stuff and then it won't let me go on to the next page, it says there are 29 downloads, but I'm only seeing 15, there are 14 creators who are being left out of my potential wave of sudden downloading.

Once again, I'm sorry to be the one to complain, but if I didn't the problem might not be known, and therefore remain a hinderance to the operation of this site and the sharing of creations that so many people worked so hard on.

[rtexasgirl]

Thank you

[Delphy]

wrightguy, tell me the *exact* search phrase you are using please.

[Wrightguy0]

I just type in "60's", I'm finding that some things work and some things don't, Like if I'm looking for a specific thing like "Victorian" it works, But when I'm looking for Decades, that's where the problem is.

I'm also finding it annoying when the selction button switches back to This Section and Children, and I move on to a new search topic. It gives me an error message *This is not a suitable download forum* :wtf:

[Delphy]

That particular bug with the blank pages occurs only when you use special characters in the search terms (ie apostrophes)

[Wrightguy0]

ok, I had a feeling that it wasn't as big a problem as I thought, thank you for clearing that up

[TheGlamS2]

I just got mine yesterday! I love it! Thanks for the update, Delphy!

[pamelasboyer1960]

I have noticed that the Bon Voyage Expansion Pack has to be downloaded in a seperate place then the rest of sims2 and its expansions. So ummmmmmmm where do I put it?
I tried once already and made a mistake of installing Bon Voyage in the same location and it didn't work. Plus I lost all my downloads too. So now I am starting :cry: from scratch again.
Could you please give me an idea where to install bon voyage, and will it interact with my other sims2 expansion packs?


Thanks

Pamela
