I've got an uncle named Rolf.  He's pretty hairy, but not a furry.

That'd be the one, yes.
And yes, spawn gun, I guess the official name is "NPC & Townie maker" or something like that.
I think, but don't hold me to this, that it would be enough to use the gun on one local (of each kind), and then copy the tokens to other locals with SimPE.  There doesn't seem to be any way to copy tokens from one neighbourhood to another, otherwise that'd be the best way, and like I said; creating tokens from scratch caused errors (and I did copy them exactly, from raw data).

I tired that.  I copied everything exactly as in the test neighbourhood, but I got horrible errors on all dancing (and tai-chi).  I think greetings worked.
Use the townie gun.  It's cumbersome, but it works (if you have the fix).

I'm enough of a geek to find this hilariously ironic.

I love those tiny islands, but I hate the slope down to the beach.  I want FLAT goddamit!

How did you manage that?  The chef is one of those characters that can not normally be interacted with.

Not just the nameless ones...  The taxi driver and the Nightlife chef and some others I can't remember at the moment, do have names, but are not good people to mess with.

I have to admit it: I'm terrified of furries!
Some of these things makes me want to run away screaming.

Pescado fixed it.
I believe it's part of alfixes.package

They work perfectly fine without the badges.

I learned that the hard way too.  You need the townie gun fix from the peasantry, and you need to use the actual gun, which is hell since you have to browse through every name in the neighbourhood to find the sim you want to move.  You might be able to just move one sim with the gun, then copy the tokens to all the others in SimPE, but I don't recommend trying to create the tokens manually (that's what I did), even if you apparently make tokens that are identical to tokens from a test-hood, they still end up borked, and you get errors at the dances (can't remember about greetings).

Deleting all the lots in the program files lot bin when installing clean templates would cause this kind of problem, but a re-install would fix that.
I imagine playing merged neighbourhoods might also result in weirdness.


The number of SS members is equal to whatever you've set "intProp maxNumOfVisitingSims" to.

The whole of the DC is 1.1 MB.  That's about the size of one badly made CC outfit.
If it's the size of the downloads folder you're worried about, you're starting in the wrong end.

Does it work on puddles?  It doesn't work on wave watching or sandcastle building.

Just curious; have you ever seen a creator do that?

That, unfortunately, is perfectly normal game behaviour.

Exactly like that.  Unfortunately, I suspect people of being too lazy to do that, and the creators certainly won't provide us with them in their propaganda.

That would be great, but it requires example shots for full effect.

I'm still waiting for a "Freaky Furries" month.

You can check in SimPE.

Screenies:



The OFB ninja uniforms buyable by, so I've just re-categorized them to appear in Athletic as well as Every Day.  Only the BV ninja is hidden, so I've unhidden it as well as re-categorizing, I haven't replaced those textures.  They're all flagged so that townies will not be spawned in them.

The first file is just a texture replacement that replaces the OFB "black" ninja outfit with your black texture. The same texture is used for both genders, adult to elder.  It won't conflict with yours in any way, put if you use both the texture replacement and your recolours you'll have two identical outfits.

Same thing happens in my game.  The fringe show before I place them, but once on the floor they vanish.
I wonder if this is related to the graphics bug that makes the stepping stone "rug" lose it's 3D when placed.

I know it's a tiny and silly thing, but the toddler drawings from the FT play table are also unshiftable.  They'd be so cute to plaster walls with.

I always weed out all the duplicate stuff that you don't want/need.  Hence the "too much work".
Beware when colour binning hats and weird hairs; if you don't change the flags, townies and NPCs will generate with the hairstyle.  In an old neighbourhood I had a taxi driver and restaurant chef both wearing a modified knight's helmet.

Making a default replacement would be less troublesome, but you still have to change the category string for every age and every colour, and I'm lazy.

Edit: OK, I'm not quite as lazy as I thought.
Default replacement version of black texture uploaded.
Recategorized ninja outfits and headgear, available in athletic and everyday, both OFB ninja and BV ninja (unlocked) included in separate and clearly labelled files.  Place in %program files%\EA GAMES\The Sims 2 [LatestEP]\TSData\Res\Overrides to avoid CC star.

Sincere apologies for the invasion, Khan.

I forgot to take it out, but I haven't had any problems.

The only very minor hack problem I have had is with uni_ltws_sns.package.  Unnamed wantable wants are back, but they all seem to be solar panel/windmill related.  It doesn't break anything, it just forces you to guess what it is your sim desires.

It's certainly less conspicuous than all the joggers running by in ballet tights.
