Canny Norns for C2 still have OHSS?

I got a bit of a problem, I'm currently using the Canny Norns for C2 (and also the remastered patch) but they still seem to get OHSS once they past 2 hours old. 1 of them started walking into a wall, and they all refuse to eat any food whatsoever. They occasionally pick up the food but somehow "forget" how to eat, then keep moaning about being hungry, being intensely hungry, etc. I'm getting tired of injecting them with food and tempted to just let the little bastards starve to death... but as manly as I am, I simply can't bring myself about to doing it.

I'm dead certain I used the Canny Norns properly as they came as EXP files, which I had to import into my C2 game and aren't born from the ingame eggs. Do I need to download any other mods to get rid of this OHSS?

Thanks in advance

You need to use JayD's modified Canny genome which properly solves the wallbonking issue, and my "Say Need No More" cob to prevent them spending most of their lives staring at the camera and complaining.

These two things will hopefully improve the experience a lot! :)

Thanks alot! I'll check it out. I downloaded the v1.2 Canny Norns from this site: http://www.seeyou7.net/creatures/shee.demon.co.uk/creatures.html kind of disappointing, I was under the impression the author of the site was supposed to be reputable.

I'll definately need to check out the "Say need no more" cob. I'm trying to play the game with as little mods as possible, but seems like I need these things to get rid of the annoying bugs. I swear I didn't have this much problems back in the late 90s!

Lis Morris is very respectable in the Creatures community. Her work is good, it just has a few remaining problems that weren't fixable at the time with our limited knowledge of the game. JayD's variant came much later.

My personal recommendation is to grab all of the patch/fix cobs and scripts you can find. It's the same vanilla game, but without so many show-stopping bugs. To use a bad analogy: as technology moves on, old code begins straining at the seams to stay together. These days we're lucky to be able to run the games at all, and it's only possible through the use of patches. You'd be shooting yourself in the foot not to. :) But again, that's just a suggestion.

Apparently default norns in the albian years don't get OHSS from my experience. Dunno if it's only the GOG albian years or it's true for the original disk also.

Thanks for the replies

I forgot to mention that I'm running the GOG edition of the game. I'll be sure to check out the mods as I really want to revisit this game. Used to play it as a kid but obviously I didn't understand all the genetics and stuff.
