Check Barbara's link under the thread "5's not enough", as to the possibility of installing in different directories.

If you install the game in different directories you will not be able to play the same game from both installs. If you want to use both mods for the same games the easiest way would be to make a folder under images called halloween, and one called thanksgiving. then whichever one you want to play simply copy (not cut) the images into your game images directory and start the game. If you want to play the other one next time simply copy them over the ones currently in there. Then it will load whichever ones are in the images directory

Gosh, I know I prob sound like an idiot, but I don't think I have Winzip on this computer. I did the download and I can see all the image files, but I don't know how to get them into the VV Image subdir. When I download, it offers to do one of the following:

-Open with "compressed folder" (default)
-Save to Disk

It looks like either option places the files in a temp directory. I want to play the halloween mod, too. Boo hoo. I'm so screwed. I think I'll just drink that oily red liquid after all... :0)

It doesn't give you an option to choose the directory? If it doesn't, then use the temp directory, and copy/paste them into the Image directory.

Having installed the Thanksgiving mod a couple of times I've found kids halfway up the (uncarved) idol/totem pole. This happens even when the game is running, and I can place them there myself. (See screenshot)



Has this anything to do with the mod?

i noticed mine doing that too! it happens with the adults as well.

Its because the totem pole was bigger than the graphic. With this game the graphics are simply stacked. The carved idol being slightly smaller than the uncarved rock so when you are done carving it they simply remove the graphic. I had to increase the size of the over rock to cover the whole totem pole behind it. So the walking boundries of the original rock are slightly smaller than my rock. No biggie it will happen to everyone who uses it.

Hey, it's a new skill for the villagers -- Rock Climbing.

I was able to extract the file in the image subdir. Nothing is different in the game, tho.

I assume it would have asked you if you wanted to overwrite the existing files... are you sure you didn't say no?
