My simmies are most grateful to you, Chaavik.  They're also curious as to why dancing together is no fun...?

Shame on you, Jordi.

I'm fairly certain that dragging the texture tool is the fastest way to do it unless you create a saved style and then use the eyedropper to clone it.

Ah.  Yeah, I was talking about how it affects some players, but not others.

Heh... it's voodoo, Motoki.  Ryder's got the right idea, though; temporarily renaming Mods to something else will work, as will moving your Mods folder temporarily to your desktop.

I'm pretty sure this LTW is broken.  My sim had 21 different varieties of perfect fish and needed all of 'em in bowls before the wish fulfilled.  Now I wonder if it would work if he'd ONLY had the 13.

My apologies.  I stand corrected.

In the Bad Parenting category:

The LTW is borked in my game, too; it takes 14 fish to fulfill it.  Once the sim hits platinum, though, I delete everything.

Not bad, Silverdrake.  I can only imagine the hideous spawn he'd throw, though.

I experimented a bit to see if maybe dressing other sims in another's favorite color had anything to do with attraction.  Each had two different traits in common and he hooked up with the same girl twice.  This means nothing, though, because of the traits system.  I suspect that some are more heavily weighted than others.  But it would be interesting to see the results of a real test.

Yes!  It would be extremely awesome if there was some way to tell the game to randomize gender preferences.  And a pony for the furries.

That may be it, Quetzilla.  I play the Collector's DVD Edition and have to remove my Mods folder to install sims3packs.

It's on the tab with the traits.

Is that what the resource.cfg is - a traffic controller?  I'm sure it helps to move Mods out of the Electronic Arts folder.  Things are susceptible to burning chicken feathers in there.

Voodoo or not, removing Mods is the only way I can install sims3packs too.  Otherwise, it just hangs until I kill it through Task Manager.

How does it know when a household is "player-created or controlled"? 

No word about restoring the Beautiful Vista buffs?  Are those generated by spawners?  Yeah, that definitely needs testing.

I just got another one.  If it helps, it happened just as my sim picked up a chunk of silver.

I was playing a gardener when this appeared across the street:



It looks like four different sims?  Five?



I got one name when I moused over the thing and tried a resetsim on it when my played character froze.  I had to shut down through Task Manager.

   I think I'll stick with just family and neat then.  Or... wait... is there a trait that conflicts with bookworm or childish?  I really don't want them pulling a book out of their back pockets or breaking the video game console when they're supposed to be doing better things.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's just a way for Good sims to meet someone new - like a Friendly Introduction wish.

Motoki, did you happen to change their traits while you had them in CAS?  If so, what did you give them?  I'm thinking of taking a page from your book, but I wouldn't know what to do with their personalities beyond family-oriented and neat.

Is that the babysitter sobbing? Serves her ass right, for interfering in baby care.

That would be my guess, too.  You can return to the Main Menu and enter testingcheatsenabled.  It should work then.

Even worse, my sim with all the charisma challenge perks doesn't have the option to "Fire" a maid or babysitter.  I guess it's because they're automagically friends as soon as they step foot on the lot...?
