Generating Professors
windy_moon:
Sagana -
What an interesting idea! I told you that you were more creative and have more energy than I do. :D
I can't help you much with techie stuff, but I can encourage you that SimPE is easy to use for the kind of Sim modifications that you are talking about. I hang out on this board because everybody here is more awesome than I, and even I find the SimPE sim browser and checkboxes a piece of cake. As long as you back up your neighborhoods, you're fine.
Even if you don't end up with SimPE as the solution for your professor idea, you should open up the professors in SimPE just to see how easy it is to make simple changes. Betcha get another idea tomorrow that you'll need it for.
My personal aresenal of change tools that any less awesome person can use:
SimPE
Inge's teleporter shrub
Merola's mind control mirror
Merola's multi purpose painting
Pescado's lot debugger (for upgrade of non Uni Sims or reroll of LTW)
You can pretty much change anything in existing Sims without blowing up your game or tearing your hair out. (I haven't created anything but townies, myself, so I can't speak to how easy it is to make NPCs or how exactly you should execute your professor idea.)
Good luck, and keep us posted on your Uni drama. I might just get interested in Uni myself.
Ancient Sim:
Interesting concept - how do you plan on getting the students to stay behind and teach classes? Are you intending to make them into NPC's? I've often thought I'd like to see Lilith Dreamer and Don Lothario as trainers in the game, they'd both be perfect for the job with their maxed-out body and total fitness, not to mention their personalities (especially Lilith). Not sure what effect it would have on the game to change them to NPC status, though.
Sagana:
Thanks Windy Moon :) - I still don't think so, but I'm glad people think it's an interesting idea. I just get bored easily and tend to have lots of big ideas - if I ever actually implemented any of them, then maybe that'd be true.
Thanks for the list, I'm going to download what I don't already have and play around this weekend and see what trouble I can get into.

Well, I have no idea :) That's one of the things I was hoping for help with. But I'm going to back up my neighborhoods and spend the weekend messing around and see what happens. I don't mind testing and see where they end up if I make them NPCs or seeing if I can find a checkbox or something to make them professors... there must be some way the game tags it, and if I untag the existing ones and tag new ones (if I can figure out how), it *should* work (not counting the world between should and does).
