I remember when I discovered the danger of (pre-Seasons) hottubs. My man was playing his self-sim's son, who got engaged to the Cheerleader in college, before we knew it was a VBT, and at his Wedding Party he starved to death in the hottub (I wouldn't be surprised if it was partially 3-bolt syndrome!). Since he hadn't married the girl yet, there were no residents on the lot to plead for his life. As his first accidental sim death (this was, like, a week after we first got the game and Uni and NL) he ended up quitting without saving. His elder self-sim hadn't even died of old age yet!

I voted for increased deaths, but really I'd like what a lot of people seem to prefer, not so much more stupid or bizarre death (although I admit I do have 2J's satellite drop increase hack), but illness should be deadly on occasion (I never treat sims different when they are sick, and they never die on me). Of course, I micro-manage my sims, so whenever they try to do something stupid, I can usually tell them to do something else. I really ought to let more of them electrocute themselves, I guess, but the first time I figured out that was possible I killed Nina (who I had my self-sim wooing, and she's one of my favorite sims), so I ended up not saving it. And now that I have Monique's save game reminder, preventing an accidental death (usually from me neglecting one sim for another) that I don't want is even easier. It also be nice if sims who froze could die from cold rather than having to die from starvation eventually. They could be treated like drowned ghosts for all I care, they leave puddles everywhere because they're "thawing out".

"LTW's" is appropriate grammar, because LTW is an acronym. You also should type as "TV's" and "VCR's" as other examples. "Life Time Want's" would be incorrect, sure, but acronyms are supposed to always use an apostrophe.

He's probably had bodyguards for 30 years, I'd guess you have to get used to them at some point.

I think the game treats greenhouse walls like fences rather than like actual walls, which is silly since they made the room dividers which are fences treated like walls.

The nanny only tracks one sim's schedule, so if you want to go that way your best option is to have the one that leave later schedule the nanny and have the other one send her home after getting off of work. I don't think the game can track more than one schedule to try and figure out what hours there are no teens or adults around.

Doesn't that usually remove all the objects from a lot? If it works fine that way, that's great, if it doesn't the other option would be to make the sim into a custom townie with the teleporter shrub (or something like it).

Since the sitter hack stopped working for Pets, what I  have done is use the teleporter shrub to bring a relative, neighbor or family friend to the lot, made them selectable, and afterwards send them payment with JM's money order object. It's more work than the sitter hack was, but it could be useful for story purposes.

Deleting just the sim will not delete the custom content. Just to be safe, it'd probably be best to do it from the BS or in game, rather than trying to delete the package straight from your folders.

I was worried that maybe I'd typed the cheat in incorrectly. Nice to know I'm not the only one with this problem, irritated with it like everyone else that wants it. Who wouldn't want free lighting?

Just a note on the original question: I had the same thing with Lucy Burb, but she had all wants and fears completely empty. Rerolling with the Lot Debugger didn't work, but she got one want after school that first day (I always time warp back about 5 minutes so the bus will come), and after sleeping some in the evening before her dinner and homework, she rolled up all want and fear slots except one. I also left the lot and restarted the game when the Debugger didn't work, so I just had to wait for her to make up her mind on her own. Of course, Seasons borks the beginning plots for at least the Goths, the Pleasants and the Dreamers even more so than other expansions did, with wants they should have starting out not being there the very first time they are loaded. (Cassandra didn't have the want to marry Don, Daniel didn't have any woohoo wants at all, for either the maid or his wife, and Darren wasn't so keen on increasing his creativity. It was strange. Didn't check the others out too much except to know that Brandi and Beau looked about right, and Dustin didn't. Don and the Calientes were all moved into the Goth lot by marriage instead of playing their original home lots.)

Actually, miscarriage is a function of InTeen.

Almost makes me wonder if Maxis used the basic electrocution memory for lightning strikes, but since Knowledge sims want to experience the latter but not the former, I'd think they'd have made a new "positive" memory for lightning.

I don't use any custom items (at the moment anyway) but I did have the back of the cheapest shower sink into a wall after placing it in a Riverblossom Hills home. Didn't occur to me until I saw this thread that it's not supposed to do that (it just looked like the piping was in the wall, actually very realistic as glitches go).

I don't know if it was ever officially released by EA, but the "lost" racecar bedroom set for kids is in Seasons. So if you have it (Numenor version or otherwise), you can pull it out now.

Was this post-Seasons? I mean, were they possibly spontaneously combusting from overheating in their own beds?

The link doesn't work anymore, any chance it can be updated just in case someone still needs it? I've heard rumors of people without Pets having BS problems in Seasons. If this isn't the case, nevermind.

I like the idea of a puppy and kitten to adopt only clean template for the pets loading, and I would certainly be interested in that myself, since they are the only pets I'd be interested in adopting (and after raising the initial ones, I could breed them to make more).

Nice edit Amber! Look a lot like how I wear my hair now, and I like it without the wispy bangs since I have none.

Sounds to me like maybe something got corrupted after install? You should back up your neighborhoods and downloads and try reinstalling Seasons.

I'm pretty sure ML stands for Mary Lou, she and Numenor do the extended cabinets. Actually, I think those are window hacks, though. I know that there are windows and doors with those names, but I don't remember what they do (even though I have them too).

I've left mine in with no problems, but it (obviously) doesn't affect the new clothes in Seasons (yet, hopefully!).

Man, I just repatched yesterday because I couldn't find this! At least what was conflicting on me the first time is not in my system anymore.

If you are having problems with extracting the floor .rar's and don't want to deal with WinRAR, I suggest 7-zip. It's free, easy, and I used it to extract the series so it can do it.  (As a note, I did select them all, right clicked, then used the 7-zip menu to "Extract Here")

I took a look at his Gisele Versace sim. Scary!
