Yes, but going through all the townies and doing that is a severe pain and takes a ton of time.

Doing stupid shit, or at least watching other people do stupid shit, is how people learn "common" sense in the first place.

I really wish someone would create a tool that would allow old townies to use new face templates genetically. I don't know if this would even be possible, though.

In other words, Ms. Perception is right, it's Squinge's career wants hack. I non-awesomely accidentally left one part of it in, in my OFB folder, and the same thing happened to me.

I totally second this. 3 trees and a small garden, and the gardener is completely unable to finish his work. It's one of those "did people even PLAY this game?" things.

I have yet to have anyone overheat, but that sounds very annoying too.

See, that's your problem: if you were self-righteous, you wouldn't have issues. You would realize everyone else had issues.

Then there's that person, you know, the person who posts in that one way. I just can't stand that person.

A bunch of 12ish spammers took over, starting stupid topics and replying to every single thing anyone else posted, with something stupid, of course. Now, there isn't so much spam, but there's a whole lot of stupidity of differing degrees. Example: a poll topic about how the poster hates "noobs", with people discussing the definition of "noob" and other people waggling their fingers about how everyone should be nice and not call names tsk tsk. When I read a reply to another thread that said basically "I hope no one here would be that mean", and the poster was not summarily tarred and feathered for sounding like she was addressing a bunch of preschoolers, I realized it wasn't the place for me.

PMBD could use another BlueSoup-style cleansing.

With the added benefit of "be nice!" scolds.

Wow, that sounds absolutely disgusting.

Well, I couldn't get into either MATY or PMBD for the same period of time. Being able to log into PMBD is hit or miss still, though.

Oh right, I should have checked there -- wait. Same server.

Actually, I still can't reliably log in to PMBD, not that I particularly want to considering what's happened there.

Personalities also matter. Make a neat-freak shy Sim of any aspiration, and s/he will fear using a public toilet and throwing parties.

What about people who couldn't even get on MATY for the donation instructions?

My cat is more of a smothering device, since she likes to sleep on my neck and the lower half of my face.

I like doofy-looking dogs, and I think that dog is cute, too.

I hope there's a new chapter soon...

I don't think helaene's 111 skins are particularly hairy, though the darkest skin tone does have too much hair -- people of African descent usually have less body hair. I think they just look like real men. Of course, anyone who's been paying attention (OK, wishful thinking) knows that I like my men to be kinda manly .

I use helaene's 1111 defaults. I think they're at sexysims now, because they aren't Barbie. I like them because they look somewhat realistic without being oily. The only problem is that the undereye is too dark, but that's very easy to edit.

In the very little programming I've done, I've had comments all over the place. This is probably because I'm not actually a programmer, so I think in English rather than code.

I'm another one who would be willing to help with translating programmers. I've felt the same problem in regard to finding advice on how to do things -- I've figured out a couple incredibly simple things on my own, but I can't go any farther. I also find many of the tutorials that do exist to be extremely difficult to understand. It seems that SimPE isn't the best way to really learn how to mod, either. It's great for recolors and editing saved games, but there isn't any way I can see to tear into the real guts of the game with it.

I do. Got a picture?

Your friendly local PC dealer, not a chain, and not online. Every town has a couple random guys with their own PC businesses. I got my very shiney new computer from one such guy. It cost about $2000, and blows away a $7000 Dell. I checked online, and nowhere has a computer this good for this price.

That's actually quite a good graphics card, and the computer should have absolutely no problems with the game. The white pools thing sounds like just a little glitch; that, or it's because of your MASSIVE downloads folder.

I haven't found charisma to be a factor in schmoozing. Like Eleonora, I've found teenage girls to be the key. Male teens are only a little bit better than adults at schmoozing, in my experience. It's rather disturbing.

I usually skip schmoozing and just have my Sims spam "ask about interests" a lot. Chatting normally seems to work OK too. Schmoozing has too high a failure rate for anyone but teen girls, ime.

That happens to my Sims constantly. Every time I play this game for any extended length of time, I'm reminded how terrible the programming is . But yes, I want a fix for it too.

So long as a guy doesn't call it "woohoo", I really don't care what he calls it.
