Where are all the townies?

<< < (9/10) > >>

Silverdrake:
I think FamilyFunds only works when sims are placed on a lot, because they haven't been initialized when they're sitting in the bin. I just stick mine on an empty lot, fund them, and move them from there.

I have not tried it on the Townie families though.

chaos:
Alas, I can't seem to place a household on an empty lot. I have to go put a bush on it, or something, so that the game sees it as being habitable. Stupid EA.

Silverdrake:
TS3 is full of little quirks! and not the same quirks for each person, either - maybe it's a "feature?"

Kiirkas:
I was able to place all the homeless households in my 'hood with the instructions provided.  For some reason or another, within one in-game week, half of the families I placed had moved out again during story mode updates done by the game engine.  Do sims like being homeless, or might there be a bug in play, or does the game's decision-making process just suck that much?

It's not a huge deal at the moment.  I think I'll try another route around this issue: moving in homeless sims with which my one fambly has high enough relationship scores, then moving them out again to new abodes in the town.  At the very least I can control the flow of money with the familyfunds command so as to not bork my fambly.

ETA: Using the above solution I went from ~20 homeless families to less than 10, and they're all staying in their houses after two in-game weeks.  This is probably a better way to go to avoid borking.

I'm having a couple of glitches with the newest available awesomemod*. One is that when I use the runstoryaction Move In Family, families are moved in correctly but seem to move out within a day or two. The other glitch is that my sims, after I used the runstoryaction cheat, now are both displaying a red box in the relationship panel.
Runstoryaction was intended for my personal debugging use only and is not meant to be used by the hoi polloi, so any problems you cause with it are your own fault.


I too am getting red boxes in relationship panels/all household members sharing the same relationship panels/Reward Points showing up on the wrong members/etc.  Hopefully, re-doing the Awesomeconfig to turn the 'testing cheats' and 'debugging' back to disabled might fix the problem.  (At least, that is what i'm going to try - if not, looks like i'll have a BFBVFS on my hands.  :)
