1  TS3/TSM: The Pudding / The World Of Pudding / Re: Creating a Prison System to explore Sim Inequality! on: 2009 July 30, 06:28:46
I have heard that the IndieStone Story Progression Mod has a town slut which I haven't seen yet but if I do she's headed straight for prostitution and a women's prison.

So you see prostitutes as criminals in this scenario of yours?

To be fair, prostitutes are considered criminals in a lot of countries and will be imprisoned if caught. Although, here in Denmark, it's legal as long as they don't cheat on taxes  Roll Eyes

I believe it is "Superior Equipment". And yes, it has an aura that affects everyone in the same room. I always thought it was slightly odd, but put it down to the Sims being happy with their Superior Equipment every time they look at it. It might be what was intended.

This thread is nothing but an exhibition of  verbiose pomposity . I think, in all my life, I have never read such an outpouring of needless animosity to other people, regarding almost irrelevant triviality. As an Englishwoman, I can assure you that English is a language constantly changing in form, structure and content. So much so that our dictionaries and grammar books are updated regularly. In other words, we don't actually give a damn how you write something, as long as it is clearly understandable.  We even have a Society for Plain English (who would consider this thread as an offence to the English language) who are held with great regard. We do have basic rules of grammar, but beyond that, it is our greatest joy to toy and play with our language and  find new ways of expressing ourselves. In other words, UK English is constantly growing, and long may it continue to do so. Britannia rules, OK!
Your inane chitchat regarding the minutiae of  our wonderful and adaptable English language is no more than v.d. pontificated by anal retentives, pompous self-deluded asses with nothing better to do with their time
In plain English - what a load of tripe!

Still, you need to stop using double spaces, and especially spaces before a full stop, no matter how you decide to spell. Also, it's spelled "verbose". I think you should stick to plain English, really.

Just in case anyone else gets this problem: When starting the game, I got bitched at for not having the CD in the drive. But removing aweconf.package fixed it, it started up fine now with no bitching.
5  Awesomeware / AwesomeMod! / Re: question: garden inside on: 2009 July 21, 10:00:06
Thanks for the tip.  If I understand correctly, does it mean that if I turn moveobjects on, in Live mode, I will be able to plant whatever plant "indoors"?

No, but you can plant them outside, then move them inside with the cheat.

Did he have a father at all or it just wasn't the husband? There is that thing called marital affair which would have nothing to do with parthenogenesis.
I still had a single-parented baby spawn suddenly.
No father at all. Thus why I called it parthenogenesis and was mystified.

Did you move the pregnant woman, or her parents? That's not quite clear to me from your description.

This is so in my game as well -- when a pregnant sim moves house, the family ties to the father are cut. The only solution I know about is to not move. I haven't tested what happens when you'd only move the father. It is rather annoying that the game does nothing to prevent this, since to me it's not always immediately obvious whether or not a sim is pregnant =/

Well, I don't remember getting her pregnant before they moved... However, if we assume Awesomemod is awesome, then I must be unawesome, and probably got her pregnant and just forgot about it. In that case, it's just a combination of Eaxis phail and personal phail. I will assume this is what happened. Thanks.

Parthenogenesis woes: I'm always playing with the newest version of Awesomemod, but I still had a single-parented baby spawn suddenly.

I'd moved out a couple from my main house, and the very next day, my playables get the want for a grandchild fulfilled. I check the family tree, and their daughter has spawned a son named Igor, but the baby has no relation to her husband. I thought Awesomemod would prevent this, or am I doing it wrong?

Edit: Aging was off.
8  TS3/TSM: The Pudding / The World Of Pudding / Re: What did you do with the Wolff family? on: 2009 July 12, 14:21:49
I haven't done much yet. I tried to have an affair with Thornton, but he kept refusing, despite finding my Sim irresistible and having maxed relationship. Later, I noticed they had a son, and suddenly, one of my children met a little black boy in school, with the last name Wolff, but he didn't live with the Wolff family and I never got around to figuring out if he was even related to them.

If Danish is anything like Swedish, there are rules for which words are en or et/ett, but they haven't been taught in ages. My grandmother was taught it when she had grammar in school (she's born in 1919), but I don't think my mother was. In my grammar classes the teachers said it "didn't matter", "because everyone knows it by sound", which makes me curious of how they teach it to immigrants (my guess is they don't, BTW).

Yeah, I am pretty sure that there are rules somewhere, but I have never ever actually heard of them. Not even when I lived in the Faeroe Islands where Danish is taught as a second language. So they aren't taught, native Danes are just expected to know.

Fake edit: I went and looked it up, and there is NOTHING about en/et in my huge Danish dictionary. They must expect you to learn them by heart, since every single word is marked as either en or et, but there is no rule mentioned.
The closest I can get to a rule is that things with a gender is "en", the rest is it. So a man, woman, cow, girl and so on, is "en". A house or a tree is "et". However, a sheep is also "et", and a rock is "en", so the rule only takes you so far...

I am pretty sure immigrants are taught to look every single word up and memorize it, really.

The Danish Wikipedia is generally very bad.
Well, there's too few editors. There's only like 6 million people who speak Danish worldwide. Most Danes I know only use the English one anyway, except the ones who are 12 and no speak no English.

Your boyfriend was scared of a deer? A deer? Really? That's like being scared of a fluffy little bunny. Deer are not that smart, and not at all violent.

We have problems in a nearby forest/park every spring. People like to jog in there, but during mating season, the stags get bloody aggressive, and chase people around. Some people even got attacked and got hurt pretty badly. Don't fuck around with anything that has antlers!
11  TS3/TSM: The Pudding / The World Of Pudding / Re: Does the Vegetarian Trait affect anything besides food choices? on: 2009 July 02, 16:27:13
Okay.  I do like smores.  Maybe the fire burns the bad sorcery out of them.

Of course, why do you think they used to burn witches? Wink

Try some 100% organic, free-range, all-natural, automotively processed meat.

I did once, actually... my grandmother hit a deer with her car, but since she actually has a hunting license, and it was within hunting season, the police let her take it home after they checked it out... Free venison!

I even have to correct my teacher sometimes, despite the fact that he lived in London for 6 years.
The fact that people are taught a foreign language and then expected to teach it to others, is, when you think about it, slightly pathetic.

Indeed, I would love a native English teacher. Also, well done to your mother for managing to learn Danish, it's so ridiculously complicated and inconsistent that we can't even speak it properly, I think half the Danish population still calls it "et hamster", when it is actually "en hamster". (Similar to the difference between a and an except we have NO RULE to identify when to use which. You just have to remember for each and every possible combination...)

There are people who say "take" a decision?  My head would explode.

You would be fun to have in my English class then! (I'm Danish, so English is taught as a foreign language)
People in my class have the worst spelling and grammar errors I've ever seen, and I might not even spot all of them, since it's my second language too  Roll Eyes I even have to correct my teacher sometimes, despite the fact that he lived in London for 6 years.

I think being able to fish in swimming pools is tied to the "Insane" trait, but I'm not completely sure.

I don't think so, I've seen it a few times and I haven't had any insane Sims.
15  TS3/TSM: The Pudding / The World Of Pudding / Re: Old Homework In Inventory Issue on: 2009 June 13, 10:44:11
Also, if a child ages up to teen in the morning, before school, they can't go to high school until the next day.

I've had some weird issues with that. When they age up in the morning, it tells me that school starts in 1 day, but after an hour or two, it suddenly says "Missing school!" and I can send them to school. Seems like the game can't really decide what to do.

There's a smaller reward - a food processor - for the culinary career as well, but it might just be the one from the buy menu.

No, it looks almost the same, but it has a different version number in its name. So I assume it's a better version.

Deathflowers can't be used in food, can they?

Not as far as anyone knows, all they do is act as a "Get out of accidentally dying free" card.
18  TS3/TSM: The Pudding / The World Of Pudding / Re: Objects I miss on: 2009 June 11, 16:03:56
This is not a missed object, but someone above mentioned objects being too attractive, like guitars--another one is the garden sprinkler. Every time a Sim is idle now, s/he wants to go play with that stupid sprinkler. This would make sense for kids or those with the Childish trait, but a Neat Sim just traipsing off to get messy in the sprinkler? I don't think so.

Seconded. I really want to stomp the autonomous playing with the sprinkler. I had a scientist with a nice garden + well-stocked pond, and he used to fish whenever he was idle, but now that he got a sprinkler, he spends hours in it. Strangely, his kids seemed to prefer reading pregnancy books when idle. They weren't even bookworms. And pregnancy books for 6s? Colour me confused.
19  TS3/TSM: The Pudding / The World Of Pudding / Re: Objects I miss on: 2009 June 10, 21:49:14
The piano, violin would be nice too. Something that children can use.

Shelves! Half-walls. And the stage.

A big aquarium dammit! I refuse to keep 13 fishbowls in my house. I want one big one with room for 10-15 types of fish. Then you'd look more like a fish enthusiast and less like some crazy fish hoarder.

I also want the activity table to have an option to draw. Seriously, the paper is there! Gief painting skill.

I believe she was trying to imply that I could not turn my cat into a tea-cosy through the magic of cross-stitching.  I am wondering what about this would be desirable.

But... I always wanted a cross-stitched cosy-cat! My OCD likes the alliteration. Where can I place my order?

Why so nasty!?  It's not that easy for me. I have my Sims on it's own drive. No internet connection and nothing running but the essentials......I come here for help not snooty ass people that run others off with their superior little insecure attitudes! Not every is a tech know how...If I brought you into my expertise....could diagnose an ill pet, can clean and stitch properly....most likely not

Why so nasty? This is MATY. People here are More Awesome Than You, and are thus superior. The attitude helps keeping children and tards off Pescado's lawn. If you don't like it, try a different forum. There's plenty of "nice" forums. Like the BBS  Roll Eyes

Look closely at the lines on the ground. What I find is, that if you set the table in a "normal" square (as in, unbroken lines), Sims 2 style, the chairs fit. If you set it half a square to the side, it's borked.
I haven't had a single issue with borked chairs since, but it may or may not be luck... it's EA after all.

Argh, sorry for crap explanation, I no can haz awsum English.

I've been able to make my children and toddlers use the play table together. Unfortunately, there's no skill benefit in it for the toddlers, but that would be too convenient, I suppose  Smiley
