Title: Do great-grandchildren satisfy wants for grandchildren? Post by: wishy-washy on 2005 July 28, 15:13:41 I have an elder sim whose lifetime want is to have six grandchildren. He already has three grandchildren, but his only son just died. If I get one of his grandchildren to have three kids will his LTW be satisfied?
Seeing as I don't think that Sims recognize great-grandchildren as family this probably won't work. If not, would it be possible to make a hack that causes family members to actually recognize that they are related to someone if they've met them before?

Family sims are annoying like that. What's more, you probably weren't going to get this one satisfied even if you had children still alive and spawning, because there's bugs associated with indirect want satisfying. Shoulda thought about that before you killed his son.Quote If not, would it be possible to make a hack that causes family members to actually recognize that they are related to someone if they've met them before? I do not understand.Title: Re: Do great-grandchildren satisfy wants for grandchildren? Post by: wishy-washy on 2005 July 28, 15:18:13 I mean that underneath someone's name in the relationships panel if they're related it usually says "Family." I don't think it does this for great-grandchildren.

Title: Re: Do great-grandchildren satisfy wants for grandchildren? Post by: J. M. Pescado on 2005 July 28, 16:50:42 You can still get your platinum gravestone even without the LTW. You'll just have to do things the annoying, old-fashioned way. Hopefully all of his wants slots won't be "play handheld game with person who doesn't live here and doesn't have one".

:P Title: Re: Do great-grandchildren satisfy wants for grandchildren? Post by: ZephyrZodiac on 2005 July 28, 21:19:00 Difficult if you use the No What's This? hack!
Title: Re: Do great-grandchildren satisfy wants for grandchildren? Post by: J. M. Pescado on 2005 July 28, 22:29:43 He *CAN'T* go "Where did it go?". The entire purpose of buying it is to get him into platinum for his DEATH, so by the time you sell it, he is *DEAD*.
Title: Re: Do great-grandchildren satisfy wants for grandchildren? Post by: ZephyrZodiac on 2005 July 28, 23:34:29 Since my sims all live in Never-Never-Land, I've never seen a platinum tombstone! The only sims I kill are townies who really get up my nose! (And their mood is always very far from platinum when they finally kick the bucket!)
