This Add-on is also known as a Village Controller - its a cloned version of a file that is already in your game.  It controls the NPCs in the community areas.  

This Halloween Village Controller enables you to generate the pet trainer with the Halloween dog and cat pens, generate the fortune teller with the Halloween candle display and mask display, and generate the jazzman with the Halloween espresso cart.  All these NPCs will be dressed up for Halloween so they will look differently, but they will still behave the same.

The Halloween dog and cat pet pens will work without this Village Controller, but you will not have a halloween pet trainer.  

The Halloween candle display and mask display will work without this Village Controller, but you will not have the halloween fortune teller.  

And the Halloween espresso cart will work without this Village Controller, but you will not have the Zombie jazzman who plays the sax.  

With the Village controller and the Halloween items in this set, you will have these NPCs all dressed up for Halloween on your community lot.

Please note this applies ONLY TO COMMUNITY OLDE TOWNE LOTS  it will not affect any downtown, Studio town or Vacation Island lots.

If you have the Maxis Pet items, candle & mask display & coffee vendor then the default NPC's will appear in addition to the Halloween NPC's that come with this set. Please note that there is a limit to the number of visiting sims & NPC's that can appear on a community lot, if you have both the Maxis NPC's & our Halloween NPC's on the lot at the same time then it is quite likely you may not get other sim familes visiting the lot whilst you take your selected sim family to visit the lot. We suggest not having the Maxis items on the lot. The number that will appear depends upon the speed & memory of your computer.

To Install:

Put the following files in the same folder you usually put your objects in (Downloads, or Gamedata/Objects or Gamedata/Userobjects). You can put these in a subdirectory or a .far file if you wish.

CYHWVillageControllerptftjmUL.iff
CYHWSaxPlayerNPC.iff
CYHWPetTrainerNPC.iff
CYHWPalmReaderWomanNPC.iff

The pet trainer comes with skins files, so put all these .bmp, .cmx, and .skn files in your
GameData/Skins folder.

The fortune teller comes with skins files, so put all these .bmp, .cmx, and .skn files in your
GameData/Skins folder.

Like other skin files you should not put these in subfolders or far files.

If after following these instructions carefully you are finding technical problems with this set & these particular NPCs please contact us at techsupport@parsimonious.org with the subject Halloween Set in the subject line.
Please make sure you have all the necessary expansion packs installed before contacting us, if the skins for the zombies & the Grim Reaper are not present & you have either Living Large or Deluxe then you have either deleted or corrupted those skin files & we recommend you reinstall your game & check the items again before contacting us.


After doing all this, you are set to go to Old Town and have some fun with the Halloween ghouls.
