Title: Is it possible?
Post by: Happythoughts on 2011 March 16, 21:19:44
Someone I know is  interested in Marhis/Inges modded wedding arch.  Basicly they were looking for a way to 'promise' their children at an early age for marriage to another.  Not neccessarily getting marriend until their of age.  Her exact wording was
*(" What I'm kinda looking for: - Parent/guardian A 'proposes' a bethrothal to parent/guardian B between their 2 tots/children/teens/young adults.  And then when the children 'come of age' they will get married.  The children don't need to know or like each other...they just get married per the parents command.  This in turn, could give plus or negative (+/-) effects based on their personalities, relationship and interest and stuff.  It also could effect (+/-) the relationship with child and parent/guardian.
 I was kinda hoping for the interaction between the parent/guardians and the (+/-) between the parent and the child!

Arranged marriages for her medieval hood.  I thought something like a generic custom content item like a peice of old timee parchment would represent the promised arranged marriage, but she's looking for something a little deeper than that.  I'm not sure on the policy of letting other modders tweak or play with Inge's things so I wanted to run the idea by of the lot of you first.

How about instead of the lot of us, you run it by Inj herself?

I didn't want to necro that thread, nobodies touched it in awhile.  And yes I would have ratherred pm'd personally but I wanted maybe a more open discussion of whether this is even worth suggesting to Inge or anyone else interested in an idea without using the wedding arch.

Inge has told me that a) she is not really doing TS2 modding anymore and b) she is fine with (me, at least) modifying (a particular [different] mod of hers, at least), so it seems probable that she'd be find with letting someone else mod her wedding arch.  OTOH, you'd have to find someone who would actually want to do that.  I'm not sure how much of a difference this mod that you have in mind would make anyway, though, as it mostly just seems to be a matter of a social interaction and a few relationship points.

Also, IIRC it is fine to necro Peasantry threads if you have actual non-stupid questions/comments about the hacks/objects.  Or, you could just PM Inge, which is what I did to get the above information.

Thank you for the information, I am always reluctant to bother creators.  Especially those with a decent reputation.  Pm's are well personal lol, I feel bad leaving messages that are only half baked to begin with.  I was merely looking for the information that I recieved from Rufio and I appreciate you going that extra mile to ask Inge already.
sheesh.   :)

I don't have a decent reputation, I am a total cow - and everyone knows it!  Is Marhis still around?  I can't remember anything about this sims2 stuff any more, sadly (or gladly, depending how you look at it)

The real problem is this is just for one person, not a public upload.  I know how hard it is to trust someone not to reupload someone else's work after changing it.  I've told my friend to get in here and help me explain her idea lol , as for Marhis, I haven't seen his name in anything recent anywhere so far.  It's a cute idea, it's just finding someone to either start a whole new mod, or tweak a mod that has most of the wanted functions already attached has become harder to come by, short of learning it all yourself.  Everyday it seems the way to go is to grab all those programs and tutorials and hope you can rap your head around the new info to make your own mods.

Unless Manhis has specifically stated otherwise, the default usage policy on MATY is "Meh", so do whatever. To view things otherwise is rather hypocritical: This is a site where we rip out, fix, and then repost broken and badly-behaved code, so why should anything we make be immune to the same?

Amusing point J.M. Pescado and thanks. 

And Inge, I don't care if your a cow, a swine, or a full blown jackass.  Your a creator!  That's more than most of us barn animals can claim.

I agree with HT, Inge, you're more than just a cow! We lowly peasants bow in your presence!

I am the incompetent that HT mentions about wanting this mod.

I play a Medieval 'hood, and thought it would be kinda time appropriate if the parent/guardian arranged the marriage of their child (tot/child/teen/young adult) to that of another sim.  I have googled this to some extent, but, other than several others interested in something similar, I haven't found anything - other than this arch, which came highly recommended by others. And the arch has been quite handy! I would just like to see it bumped up a little to include the possibility of additional interactions. Or if adding to the arch isn't feasible, maybe a separate mod that would work with the arch.

HT quoted my initial thoughts in the 1st post. Thanks to all for your comments.

I like the sound of that too.. Ive recently resurrected my old S2 medieval 'hood since Sims Medieval was a pile of garbage. Never thought about it before, but it's a pretty cool idea ^^;
