How are managing to have the house name automatically become the same as the household name?  Do you have a mod that renames the house to match the name of the household?


It's not automatic; you have to rename the house yourself.


I know that.  Figwit was saying that in their game it is automatic, and I was curious about how that was happening.

I was also wondering if perhaps they were confusing house name with household name, which may explain why AM's "ancestral home" feature doesn't seem to work for them.

I don't know if this problem came with indiestone mod or awesomemod but I have the same problem. In my neighborhood the "Roomies" became the "Mcgraw" and the "Single moms" became the "Mcirish". I suppose it is changing the lhousehold name to the last name of the oldest member in the home can someone clarify?

One of ISM's features was that it would change the household name in the manner you describe.  This is not the same as the lot name, neither AM nor ISM changes the lot name.

You are confusing lot name with household name.

my game doesn't just freeze at 1 am. it freezes every 2-3 mins (game time) i have to go to main menu and go back and then its fixed.
any idea anyone?. (i still prefer getting a big freeze at 1am than constant slowing through out the game)

I used to hate the 1am freeze but now i almost wish i had it instead of what's going on in my game now. I'm at a loss as to why my game is lagging so bad. I've gotten some tips in the bug thread like "towderelicts" and even creating a new hood at the possibility that my hood was corrupt but nothing seems to be working. I don't even bother playing the sims 3 right now. It's at like 3ps, lol. I don't want to play The Sims 3 without Awesomemod... It just improves on so much.

You did try playing in a lower resolution, or with reduced graphical settings?
Especially a setting like high detail lots can be disastrous to your gameplay. Leave it at 1.


Yeah, I'm playing at a low resolution and I've always kept the detailed lots at one. My computer can definitely run the sims pretty well as this problem only happens with awesomemod installed. When i take it out, things run fine. It's weird, awesomemod had been good to me until i updated it.
