Yup, I removed it from the sims folder completely.  I noticed that if you click around the shoulders of the dogs (at least the wolves) then you can greet them.

I don't think Squinge's no autonomous greet is what's causing this.  I still can't greet certain creatures even when it's disabled.

Just did some testing on a copied hood.  Everytime an apartment sim would walkby that I haven't modified, I killed it.  I ended up with 21 kills, which got rid of most of them.  (The walkbys became a maze of tombstones  ) Then I jotted down the walkers.

Out of 50 walkbys:
15 were original sims.
7 were then killed.  (apart. sims)
the other 28 where walkers which consisted of just 5 sims.

I'm assuming the game isn't using pure random function to decide who goes.  It appears to favor the newer sims a lot more.

Yes! About timne they did that.  This will be very useful when centering sofas and tvs without having to turn the grid off.

Strange thing is, it seems to be just a select few.  I've made those over so their not so ugly, but still I'd like to see my regulars walking by too.

edit: On community lots, at least those owned ones, I'm getting about 75% pre-AL's and 25% post-AL's sims.  Now if there's a way to get that one residential lots then I wouldn't complain.

Is anyone else having problems that only the new roomies (townies) from AL walk by your lots?  I think I've seen only 2 of my regular-playable sims walkby since installing AL.  I removed my downloads folder and they still keep on walking by and I know I've got at least 50% pre-AL sims so you'd think they'd also walkby.

Ok, thanks. I wasn't sure if making any modifications to them would corrupt the file.

Edit: Thanks, that was the problem.  No-one knew these new sims that came with AL, mainly due to their appearances.  Now the fun really begins 

This is what I mean:


I was hoping to use the alt sim surgery and replace the ugly roomies with some new dna that I personally didn't make. For a bit more randomness in their appearance.

Vers 0.72.1.33855, AL is checked on filetable.

Strange thing is to even see them in the neighborhood viewer, you have to check Uneditable.  Even then they won't have a picture, just their name and details.  Do these roomies have special coding attached to them or am I missing something obvious?

Why do the new (the roomies and such that came with AL) have Mr Potato head?  Also, I was going to use the Alt Sim Surgery to make them over, but they don't appear on this list. 

Does the intergrated cards even support Aero?

I've had this happen one several occasions, especially when they have large list's of sims.

Strange, I could have sworn after I made a selection at an owned business, that the sim would automatically go and pay for the item. 

When I release models and game vp files, I usually end the filename with the date.... aka "Mymodel-09-02-08.vp"

Duh moment... I forgot I saved the url for each of them...
Unfornately alwaysinsult and pokeshoveback, which was at insim, is gone.  I believe the topic title (which I normally use as the watched package title) was "Always insult when insults" and "Sims always defend yourself"  Did Inge put his/her stuff on insim?

Anyways, neither of them are really important for me.  Althought they're good at making enemies. 

Well pulling them out/ putting them back in is no problem.  I've got a program that keeps track of what I install.

sub-thought: was there ever an updated version of visitors stay longer?  BV broke it, and I kinda miss it.

Sorry, thought a lot of those were squiges.  That cuts the list down nicely.

Based off the hack diff:

• Age Duration Hack.package = probably deals with elders
• AlwaysInsult.package = insult back when insulted
• bath-shower-for-visitors-ft = not sure if this is from here
• Caged Pet Fixes
• Carrigon_TeleportHackFT
• CtfG_EP5_RakeFaster.package = rake faster
• Homework Sometimes
• jaxad_DoorGlobalsHack = I think this goes with christian luvs all-on-one npc (B 0x7FD0DEBA 0x2046 Sub - Locked - NPC Allow?)
• LdDarcy_MaxisMoreDecoSlot_Dresser-SlotOverlap = for more slots on dresses and stuff
• Low Food Warning
• MakeOutFun = this might be squige's???
• marhis-marriage-lastnamedialog_updatedforBV
• marhis_pizzabox_notondesk
• No Pet Code Spam
• Object Min Cost Want Hack = i think is for buy $$$ wants
• OFB_NoBadSales
• PartyNoCops
• Perfect Plants
• pokeshoveback
• School bus - bring friend dialog
• Social Sanity Fixes
• ]Students Move Away From the Portal
• Toddler Potty Fixes
• Welcome Wagon Dialog
• work-deliver3-40-20 = i believe this one will have the sim bring home pizza/food after work
• zTwojeffs_Preg For All Genders
• Christianlov_Controller_AllInOne = this was broken in BV, but still "works", just can't have room service in a hotel, no biggie

I'm rather upset that OFB_NoBadSales is broken.

Was that part of that 4GB newsgroup upload several months ago? 

I've got that same house.  I ended up using grid paper and rebuilding it from scratch.

It's quite out of date, but still works.  The only real problem I've run across so far is when you order room delivery on a vacation lot, the bellhop resets and you don't get the food. For me, a small price to pay.  Oh, also you can use All-in-1 to use her as a housekeeper without having to have her playable.

Has anyone tried to make an updated version for paint faster/write novels faster?  I tried and I think I'm missing something because it still takes forever... 

Good, at least it's not just me that's having that problem. The shutdown time with Vista isn't too bad, but for 2003 it was absolutely horrible. Took longer to close up and clean up than to actually start the game.

Not only that, but I bet it breaks multi-user support.

Already tried that, reported no conflict with it, which confused me.

How about mod A works and mod B works and mod A & B works in BV but in FT mod B breaks mod A?

Ugh... now it works
