I've counted, and whereas ingame it takes at least 5 seconds to delete an item, w/ bodyshop it takes about 1 second, at most 2. Now, 3-4 seconds doesn't seem like a lot, but when you've got tons of stuff to delete, it all adds up. And on top of that, it just sucks waiting for the thing to delete.

In my game he still has his black hair color, albeit a custom hairstyle, and he's still pretty hot, if I do say so myself. It gives him a dark & mysterious vibe.

The longer bodyshop is open, the longer it takes to close. I think its just the way bodyshop is written, and I'm pretty sure its an universal issue, and has been an issue since bodyshop from b4 the game came out. I usually just force quit. I haven't had any problems as of yet.

Hopefully not, cuz goodness knows we all need his computer up and running as soon as possible, and to stay that way.

Wow. I don't normally follow all the nonsense that goes on w/ that site. But the fact that the siteowner has managed to piss off practically everyone in the sims community is just ridiculous. At this point, it'll only be a matter of time before her hypocritical, immoral ass sinks into complete irrelevance. Especially w/ 2jeffs gone, there's pretty much nothing holding her site up.

If only her ship'll sink quicker, cuz we definitely don't need this much drama in a game community.

I think NL did something to townies and their clothing. I used to be able to make a townie selectable, then direct him over to a dresser to change clothes. Now, after NL, whenever I do direct them to dressers, nothing ever shows up in the selection bin. So nowadays all my townies are stuck w/ their atrocious outfits. I really hope someone *hint hint* can mod it so that townies can change clothes again. Cuz it really is driving me nuts.

Yay! *Does happy dance*

Now I don't have to schlep around for my mods, cuz they'll all be in 1 place. Woop-dee-do!!!!!

I so agree. Whenever I'm tempted to pay for a TSR membership, I remind myself of the exponential rate at which my downloads folder will grow as a result of such a membership, and then the temptation is effectively squelched.

2jeffs has a mod that gives them to any sim. So you could go check there. I believe it's called something like - personal electronics adjuster... or something to that effect.

Wow. He looks very cute. The rest of them remind me a lot of Don Lothario's boys in my game. But this one is a hottie.

Nah. Paris Hilton ain't as pretty.

There's not even a skinny. All they've got is chunky and thin. I definitely agree on the more body types thing. 2 types is just way too few. But I hope they can execute it properly. The current system doesn't work too well. When sims change body shapes, their faces remain the same. So chubby sims turned thin end up looking like lollipops. And thin sims that gain weight also end up looking really weird. Next time they do bodyshapes, they should take the face into consideration too. So that they gain weight along w/ the rest of their body. Otherwise it just doesn't look right.

Alexander ain't that bad once you get used to his ugliness. I've given him a lovely fiancee to mate with. It'll be interesting on which side of the attractiveness spectrum their kids will turn out to be.

Wow. I never would have guessed. I just figured most pple were young on account of this being a game site and all. Except for JMP of course...I always knew he was old.

That actually sounds interesting. By TJ I assume you mean twojeffs?

But I think there just aint enough aspirations out there. There are only 5 distinct aspirations, w/ pleasure being just a mish-mash of 2 of the 5, and 5 asps spread out among 100s of sims, even if it were an even distribution, means dozens of sims w/ the same exact asp. So its kind of hard to have variety w/ that.

High waists are back, you know. So what w/ Maxis' fascination w/ trends (bad in a game, which isn't as temporal as fashion - just look at the Uggs! they went out of fashion ages ago, but they're still stuck in the darn game), maybe you'll get your high waists after all.

It's no big deal really. I hope you don't think I meant anything by it. Just noting that some of those sites are pretty popular. Which on the one hand is to be expected if they have good stuff, but on the other hand is a huge drag b/c it takes 9 billion yrs to surf the site and d/l everything you want to.

But I guess its a good way to curb download-aholic-ism (yea, that's not a word. I know), b/c my d/ls folder is getting WAY too big. Just a few months ago, I had 2.5 gigs of d/ls. This month, I open up my d/l folder and check the numbers, and all of a sudden I find I've got 3.5 gigs of CC. Not a good growth rate...WAY too fast.

You know what's kinda sad, and an indication of just how much of a download-aholic I am, is that I recognize, and have pretty much been to every single one of the sites pple have listed. Even the "obscure" ones, some of which aren't that obscure - SimsTV has had major bandwith problems of late, which kinda sux, b/c they have GREAT stuff.

Simshowcase is pretty much *the* best resource for d/l surfing, b/c they give you updates from practically every site out there. It's the main reason why I know all these sites. So if you're looking for new sites, you can pretty much just go there. It's like one-stop shopping for the sims.

I'd like to see things that the modding community can't do, at least not currently, and probably not for a while, like new animations, interactions, ltw, turn-on/offs, etc.

Custom content I can get anywhere, and it's stuff that Maxis always gets wrong anyways. So that I'm not too kneen on that. I definitely think Maxis should capitalize on things that aren't available elsewhere, in better forms, but rather things that as of now only Maxis can provide.

I so agree. Especially for the business tycoon level. I mean, do you really think pple like Bill Gates and Warren Buffet make a measly $2,000 a day? Heck no!

That's why I went ahead and overrode the Business career salaries to give a more "realistic" salary curve. W/ this, my fortune sims can achieve perma-plat in about 5 working days. And I so don't consider it cheating, b/c in real life, there are business tycoons who make WAY more. I only kept the salary at the level I did b/c I didn't want the game to be too easy.

I also had a problem with a house crashing on me everytime I tried to go in. I tried looking into the log folder, but there were dozens of logs in my log folder, and I wasn't sure which log I should be looking in. I told the comp. to arrange the logs by date modified, but even then, there were a whole bunch of logs that were modified at the same time.

So...which log should I be looking in?

What is this database?

Aren't those just names for the different layers??

W/ university, I had the same problem w/ lots that wouldn't load. It turned out to be an object file that wasn't even on the lot - the lot was a clean Maxis one. Maybe this is the same problem? If you try loading a clean game, and it works, that might be what it is.

In my case, the obj was called vssofamod from vitasims...I haven't downloaded an object from there since. 

No, it doesn't just affect wants. It affects memories too. Replacing the objects.package should do it. You could also make the file read only so that it doesn't get screwed up in the future.
