Safety
All user-made objects are potentially risky to your game. It is good practice to use a spare neighbourhood with Simmies you don't care about for testing new downloads when you first get them; and keep another spare unplayed neighbourhood for overwriting the test neighbourhood if it starts to crash frequently. Even if an object works fine in most people's games, I can't guarantee it won't crash yours if you have something set up differently.
From the original release notes (archived from the now-defunct Hexen Modding Network):
None of these changes alter core gameplay—no “rebalancing” of the brutal difficulty of Deathkings (famously harder than original Hexen). It remains a gauntlet of chaotic cleric-fighting, but now without technical frustration.
In the sprawling, community-driven history of 1990s PC gaming, few engines have demonstrated the longevity and adaptability of the id Tech 1 engine (used for DOOM and Heretic) and its slightly more advanced sibling, the Hexen engine. While DOOM WADs are legendary, the custom content for Hexen—Raven Software’s dark fantasy puzzle-shooter—occupies a unique, moody niche. Among the countless fan-created files stored in forgotten FTP archives and dusty CD-Rs, one filename stands out for enthusiasts of total conversions and expansion replacements: hexdd.wad v1.1. hexdd.wad v1.1
For those discovering this file in a modern source port directory or an old backup, understanding what hexdd.wad v1.1 is, how to use it, and why it matters requires a journey back to the modding scene of the late 1990s.
Hexen: Deathkings of the Dark Citadel is the official expansion pack for Hexen: Beyond Heretic. While it was initially sold in stores as a standalone disc, it required the original Hexen data to run. In the modern Doom/Hexen modding community, this expansion is known technically as HEXDD.WAD. From the original release notes (archived from the
The v1.1 designation is significant because it includes bug fixes that plagued the initial retail release (specifically breaking level progression bugs), making it the only truly playable version of the expansion today.
Q: I downloaded a file named hexdd.wad v1.1, but my antivirus flagged it. A: False positive. Some patches used executable patchers (like BSP or WinPatch). Always download from a trusted source (Doomworld ID Games, ZDoom forums). The WAD itself contains no executable code. community-driven history of 1990s PC gaming
Q: Can I use this with the original DOS Hexen.exe?
A: Yes, but you must run it with the command line: hexen -iwad hexdd.wad. The v1.1 fixes were back-compatible with the final DOS executable.
Q: Is there a v1.2 or v2.0? A: No. v1.1 is the final community patch. Some source ports include “improved” versions, but they rename them to prevent confusion.
Locations
The objects on this site, unless otherwise stated, are designed for use on residential lots. Many of them will work on locations such as Downtown too, but I cannot specifically support you with any problems arising from use on locations. User-to-user support on such matters however is welcomed in the forums.
How to install Simlogical Sims1 downloads
Look to see if there is a .txt file in the zip that might give you any special instructions. If there are none, then take any .iff or .far files out of the zip and put them in Maxis\The Sims\Downloads. You can make a folder called "simlogical" inside Downloads if you want, but don't keep the folders that your unzipper made.
