Title: Idiot questions about townies.
Post by: Bleached on 2008 September 05, 10:37:26
Two things. One, I was playing around with the Townie creator, and I accidentally clicked "show all townies". I quit the lot without saving and played a Uni lot. After about an hour of playing, a window popped up saying that my game had a terminal error, and that it needed to quit. Is this a VBT?

Other thing, is there an easier way to make a townie than the Townie creator?

Thanks.

Not necessarily 'easier', but many of us make our own townies using CAS, putting the resulting sim on an empty lot, and using Inge's teleporter cat to turn them into a townie. Many MATYians are townies in my game this way.

I'm kinda surprised I never thought of doing something like that with my friends.  Nonetheless, thanks for an idea I'm going to start on right away!

Thanks. I used the teleporter cat and it worked. but the game just gave me a terminal error again... I haven't put anything new in the game, except for a few sets of clothing, but they wouldn't do that, would they? I have everything except AL...

Yes, clothing can cause that (a bad mesh would be the issue), as can hacks that haven't been updated for FT. Take your newest CC out (other than the cat), and try it again.

I don't know anything about the terminal error you're getting, but I feel as if I should warn you about the townie creator.  Even if you decide not to keep the townies it spawns, the files are still there, and will clutter your sim folder if you turn down alot.  I did this in my game and the load times doubled next time I played.  Thankfully, I'm finally free of all those useless files, and I'm never making that mistake again ::)

Yeah, I noticed that my load times are longer, but how do I delete the townies without borking my game?
