Well... MY cassandra goth is married to eve logan-goth, after a nasty breakup with Don.  Little alex is a teen now... Cassandra just got herself bit by a vamp, is preggers, and alex get abducted by aliens... (one of those times is regret the teen hack I'm using, because he came back to the sound of chimes)  So... I think there's a baby boom afoot in pleasentview.

Since it overwrites the main executeable, does that mean it also updates/overwrites the objects.package?

IMO? No. Not many new interactions. The mistletoe sounds like trouble and slaps and fights waiting to happen. Santa didin't impress me much. He's anorexic and left me coal. Tongue

Do you mean that figuratively or literally? Lol. Can the Santa NPC actually leave you coal? Cuz that is somewhat funny to me. Tongue

I forgot about the mistletoe. I wonder, does it allow anybody to kiss? Or does it restrict it to non-family, and only if you are in crush/love/engaged/married. Tongue I personally think that it should be like a family kiss between family members, a platonic kiss between friends or best friends, and a romantic kiss if you are romantically involved. It should only be rejected if a) you hate the person, b) the person is a total stranger, or  c) you're in a bad mood.



I had an issue with baking cookies where they dissappeared. It's related to a download but not a custom food but which one is anyone's guess. I don't feel like taking them all out one by one to check and taking the foods out didn't fix it but taking them all out did.

By download, do you mean all of your downloads? Including game hacks/mods (i.e. hacks that modify bhavs)? Or do you mean only your object mods (i.e. hacks that either modify existing objects or add completely new objects that have their own GUID and custom bhavs such as mood adjusting paintings, etc.)?

If you only mean objects, and it isn't custom food that conflicts, I imagine it would have to be some kind of object that modifies kitchen related objects (the fridge, oven, etc.). But... if you mean that you had to take out your game mods as well, that's a bit crazy (not you of course, I mean Maxis Tongue). My guess is that hopefully it would be a food related mod, like Serve Everyone or smartserve? I can't think of any other game mods that change the way food is prepared/served off the top of my head.  Undecided



Besides Santa being skinny? :p I dunno, I guess the fact that the cloned all the window meshes to make frosted windows rather than doing them as recolors annoyed me.

Hrm... about the windows, that is lame. Tongue I wonder if those were included in the object count of new items. Roll Eyes It woulda made more sense to make them recolours so you can just change the "colour" rather than having to replace the entire window. Who's idiotic idea was that? I wonder if it adds more to loading time, loading an entire set of objects rather than just recolours.

As far as Santa being skinny is a bit annoying... couldn't you just take control and edit their body somehow? Maybe make their fitness realy low? It really irks me that there aren't a variety of body types/meshes in the game to begin with. I really like some of the body meshes out there, like beosoboxboy (sp?) and marvine's stuff is really hot and faeriegurl's fat body meshes as well are very cool. I wish there was a lot more variety in the game like there seemed to be in the original sims. It's a shame we only start with two choices in CAS/BS: skinny, and not so skinny. Tongue

Although these cool body meshes look awesome in game, if I understand it correctly, I don't think they would get inherited via genetics? I could be wrong. I  hope that Maxis might eventually someday release an EP that adds more variety to genetics, body shapes and types, skin tones, hair, etc. I think it would be great if they ever do a Superstar update, this could be included as part of the fashion aspect.

Ste

Actually the BBB and Marvine meshes do have special linked skins that pass on the mesh with the genetics.  And there are tutorials for linking other meshes to skiins to do the same thing.

LOL @ twain and Kewian...

It's okay, you are not the first one to wonder about MATY...  I've seen the question on other boards (which is how I found this place).
205  TS2: Burnination / The Podium / Re: I can not believe what is happening.... on: 2005 November 25, 18:59:12
it's the skin I'm using.  I'll put up with that for the damn muscles...
206  TS2: Burnination / The Podium / Re: Deleting pictures from the neighbourhood on: 2005 November 25, 18:57:29
Oh cool tip.  Thank you.
207  TS2: Burnination / The Podium / Re: I can not believe what is happening.... on: 2005 November 25, 08:48:02
well this is sort of on topic...

My Riddick sim met the girl of his dreams... she's still a teen but I'm using a hack that allows her to have adult behaviors (don't kill me now, it just works for me to have her smaller than him...) I've been reading about twins in nightlife... I've never had twins born before.  (I have had both the male the female sim preggers at the same time and give birth one right after the other, but then I'm mean that way sometimes).  Anyhow... Audrey Riddick just had twin girls... My first set of twins in the game... (and I've been playing for a long time).


Here's Richard and Audrey on the sofa.  I'm using skins by beosboxboy (Med for him and pale for her) so any kids they have will carry on his buff genes... and males will develop muscles when they become teens)


This is Riley


This is Jackie.

thought I'd share how cute his babies can be.
208  TS2: Burnination / The Podium / Re: Deleting pictures from the neighbourhood on: 2005 November 25, 03:53:45
Right... I never touch those.  Too much turkey I think dulls the brain... LOL
209  TS2: Burnination / The Podium / Re: Deleting pictures from the neighbourhood on: 2005 November 25, 02:58:06
You know... I delete pics from the storytelling folder that I don't use all the time.  I've never had a problem with it. Then again, I rarely use the storytelling features... usually I take pics of sims for avatars, or items I've made.  None of those stay in the game files.
I've never had any problems.

folks looking for eyes:  http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=106078
these are by exnem.  his stuff is usually top notch.  the screenies look very nice.
211  TS2: Burnination / The Podium / Re: Changing eye color, is this possible? on: 2005 November 24, 10:06:44
*sigh*

OK, I have two problems which are probably very easily solved if someone will just point out where it is I'm being stupid.

1. I go into SimPE and do SimSurgery on all the sims with ugly eyes. I click "commit" after the surgery. I close SimPE and say yes save changes to neighborhood004. I open the game, go into a house containing one of these people. She has nice, normal blue eyes. I send her to a mirror to "change appearance", and immediately her nice normal blue eyes are gone, replaced by the same old ugly ones--which are no longer in her DNA at all, either dominant or recessive. Why, and what do I do about this? (She shows the weird eyes in the mirror, in close-ups in the game, in her thumbnail--but she has normal eyes in cinematics.)

2. What I really want to do to try to get around this is to import new eye colors into the files of the old ugly ones, except that I can't figure out which files they are, because what the DNA tells you seems to have absolutely no connection to the filename. Is there any easy way to find out what the actual *file* is? I know I could work around this if I had enough patience, but well, I don't. Too many eyes, too many that look the same.

Could you post a picture of the eyes (in the sim) you are trying to change... I have lots of eyes and might be able to help you track down the file... Or do you have clean installer?  using that program you can sort your downloads by type and then click on each file for a preview of the eye color... another way to track down the file. (I'd offer to do it for you but I don't think that's possible).  hehe

Motoki,

Have you looked at SimderZ's eyes?  her eyes are my favorite ones.  http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=67003&highlight=simderz

she also has sets at http://simderz.moonfruit.com/ and 8th deadly sims...

At her site look for the link Downloads/The Look.

the eyes have some shading but I don't notice it in game...

213  TS2: Burnination / The Podium / Re: I can not believe what is happening.... on: 2005 November 24, 01:25:17
Ah but he does have hair... it's just very very short!  LOL
214  TS2: Burnination / The Podium / Re: I can not believe what is happening.... on: 2005 November 23, 21:23:46
Okay...  You can get him here: http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/dewshine_recolors_for_sims2/

He's got maxis default stuff and is skinny... whine enough and I might tell you where to get his hair... (It's at MTS2)
215  TS2: Burnination / The Podium / Re: I can not believe what is happening.... on: 2005 November 23, 20:14:20
who me? awesome??? 

*Hides my lips*

If you are interested in having a Vin Diesel or Riddick sim of your own I can package him up and put him at my Yahoo Group.  I'm not 100% happy with him yet, myself.  I keep tweaking the base model every time I pull it up in CAS.  To get him really right you need the Bodybuilder mesh series from Marvine and Beosboxboy  (from here).  I use the Teen Titan series so that he keeps the muscles as he ages.  There's a special genetic skin that's linked to the nude mesh so the muscles stay when he's showering too.  If I upload the face model though, it will have maxis default stuff and it will be up to downloaders to put the finishing touches on hiim. (I have the correct eyes at my Yahoo Group already, as well as pants and goggles).
216  TS2: Burnination / The Podium / Re: I can not believe what is happening.... on: 2005 November 23, 16:37:14
Dewshine, I want to squee at your avatar a bit because hey, it's Riddick from Pitch Black as a sim!

*Squee!*

Okay, I'm done now.

Hahaha.... Why yes!  it is.    Grin 
I'm making all the parts needed for him in the game (thank goodness goggles came with nightlife).
217  TS2: Burnination / The Podium / Re: Nightlife made Homecrafter go 'splodie - and it did a number on BodyShop, to on: 2005 November 23, 15:50:19
welll, having both EPs I find that homecrafter works fine.  So I'm no help there.

Bodyshop does cache thumbnails for me, too.  However I only use it with the base maxis stuff and the custom meshes I'm currently needing for new projects.  When I make new sims in bodyshop I use all maxis stuff and them update with custom things in CAS. 

But then I have two profiles for Sims on my machine.  A clean one with no hacks for lot building/Sim creation/object recolors and a hacked one for game play... And I only use bodyshop and home crafter from the clean side.

So I'm no help at all here...
218  TS2: Burnination / The Podium / Re: I can not believe what is happening.... on: 2005 November 23, 04:19:39
welll, he's a 0 friendly sim and I dropped him into a lot with nothing... so before the newspaper arrived he just stood at the mailbox looking up at the camera, punching his fist and doing the furious animation every now and then (without the flaming thought bubble).  It's not something I ever want to do to this particular sim again...
219  Ye Olde Simmes 2 Archives: Dead Creators / Ye Olde Crammyboye Archives / Re: Let Slobs be Slobs Version 2 (11 Nov) on: 2005 November 23, 02:33:52
Oh, yeah... I like this hack.  It works great for my trashed out family of slobs who live in a tiny one room cabin with the stove in the front yard.  Every sim walking by has to stop and do the "it stinks" animation... even if the green gas has stopped coming off the slob... hahaha... And what I like the most? He doesn't care!  hahahaha... 

Thank you.
220  Awesomeware / The Armory / Re: Stuck Object Remover on: 2005 November 23, 02:27:26
Now there's something that could come in handy... 
I love it when some hack alerts me to a problem I don't even realize exists yet.  I better download this for future use.
221  TS2: Burnination / The Podium / Re: I can not believe what is happening.... on: 2005 November 23, 02:07:48
okay good 'cause he's kinda scary looking...

Hahaha...  On most days he'd take that as a compliment....   Shocked
222  TS2: Burnination / The Podium / Re: I can not believe what is happening.... on: 2005 November 22, 01:56:19
 Grin 

Now that the original question has been answered... please take it any direction you like.  I'll keep my sim on a leash. Hahaha
223  TS2: Burnination / The Podium / Re: I can not believe what is happening.... on: 2005 November 21, 20:02:09
Hello. I joined this site tonight because I have been told that a problem I am having is due to a hack from this site. Now there is a few things wrong with that statement. #1 I've never been here before right this minute. #2 I've never knowingly downloaded a triplets and quads hack. #3 it isn't showing up in my clean installer.
I guess I should explain what the problem is. I have had one heck of a baby boom. I thought that it was the inteenimator but I was told by them that there hack doesnt give options for adjusting odds for trips and quads. I could even live with the hack if it weren't for the fact that even setting the odds to zero is resulting in trips and quads. My poor Sims are loosing thier mind could someone help?

For hacks of this sort that might have jumped into your machine with a lot you need to check everything... Downloads, lot catalog, saved sims, and teleport... the entire ball of wax.  chances are the hack is a string of odd numbers and letters, not what TwoJeffs named it.  I've found hacks in the oddest places and they don't always announce themselves.  What I would do if you can't find it is to remove every download that is a string of numbers and letters... scan those and put back the ones that clean installer identifies as items (usually clothes, makeup, eyes, and skintones from packed sims or objects and recolors for packed lots).  Then you have to carefully add a few of the unmarked ones at a time to put any full sims back.  Or not... depending of if you have bodyshop or downloaded sims.  Any of those that read as "career" even if they don't show red are hacks of one sort or another.
Good luck!

I have an experience with the matchmaker too.  I had one sim give her 5000 for a date and get a 3-bolt match that led to a dream date.  He then caught her cheating with another sim and was rather pissed...  My other sim that gave the matchmaker 5000 for a date ended up getting food spilled on him 3 times and the date was a diaster.  I won't waste the time on her anymore.   Roll Eyes
