Title: Lucky Palms fails to recognize the existence of arred EPs?
Post by: Yzisme on 2012 July 04, 02:32:04
I downloaded and decrapped Lucky Palms from here. Although Store worlds are supposed to recognize which EPs you have and plop down the respective lots, it only did that with one EP- Ambitions, the only one I bought.
Is this normal? Am I being stupid?
I'm guessing that either I installed the EP's wrong (I don't use cracks, just Awesomemod's NoCD) or it somehow checks. I can, of course, download the lots I'm missing separately, but I'd really like to know what went wrong and fix it.

I have all arred EPs. A little wizard popped up and asked if I wanted to be guided through placing the Showtime lots. I said yes, out of curiosity. The first two lots I was offered, starting with the largest and working down, had no available lot I could find to place them on. So I cancelled out. The Pets equestrian stuff I had to place myself, but the adoption household established itself fine. Otherwise I had to place stylist/tattooist, consignment store and junkyard. Can't remember if the pictures lot was there or if I placed it.

All the lots should be available on the community lots tab in edit town.

But those are lots that came with the EPs, no? The Store worlds come with prebuilt lots for EPs, such as those placed by the game for Ambitions. I've had the same problem with Lunar Lakes, but I was under the impression that it was because I torrented the town.

Who knows? I never get those messages because I have an STFU mod I made for that.

Just place the lots manually and quit whining about it.  The game's auto-placement sucks anyway, and you end up with most of them rotated out to face the wrong way, or in lots that are twice as big as they need to be.  You're better off placing them yourself.

Where's Fat Gwilly People?  We need this mod NAO.

Lucky Palms does not autoplace any EP lots by default and neither does Lunar Lakes. It has nothing to do with being arred or non-arred.

AFAIK only hoods that came with expansion packs do auto-placement, none of the store hoods have that.

Everything I got installed atm is legit, with the exception of the store stuff of course, and I didn't get the message to let the game add the lots either. As far as I know the game didn't add any of the EP lots itself but tbh I didn't pay attention. I do see performers from SHT all around the world though and one household had the icon for a pet adoption.

AFAIK only hoods that came with expansion packs do auto-placement, none of the store hoods have that.

Doesn't Hidden Springs have auto-placement? I remember people ranting about the ambitions lots looking terrible in it because they didn't align properly.

You know wrong, since Barnacle Bay, Hidden Springs and Riverview do auto-placement of Ambitions and Showtime lots.

The reality is more complicated than either of you believe it to me. But Fat Gwilly People haven't asked.

Huh! Here I was thinking I had gotten the mod that does this in my game from here. Wonder where it actually came from then...

This is probably the mod you are thinking of, Ambitions Community Lots Auto Placement Fix (Updated to Patch 1.31/1.32/1.33/SHT) http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=424222

That particular mod automatically places community lots -- and it's OLD.  The FOJ's mod probably makes it so you can add them yourself without the game nagging you.

Don't make me spam you with PMs.

Fat Gwilly People probably aren't going to ask, unless you have a handy ouija board.
