Thanks Misty for the tip, it certainly worked.  My sim is pacakged and ready to go 

Simpe is great, wish I downloaded and used it earlier!

Yes, I backed up my game Motoki   I never go to the BBS, only went there once after I registered and that was about it really.  That place is downright scary!

Ok I managed to do as Zeljka said, took me awhile to find the sim surgery bit but after I selected the sim and chose "clone" I saved him to desktop.  Now he looks something like N005*numbers*.package.

Now my question is *drumroll* what do I do with it? I tried putting him into one of the other nieghbourhoods files but he still doesn't show up in bodyshop.

I've never actually used Simpe, been meaning to download it but I'm just paranoid I'll ruin the game somehow.

I know I should just do it and learn it, as it seems inevitable in order to do certain things.

Thanks for suggestions and input witch and Zeljka

*Skips off merrily to blow up the game* 

I don't mind sharing them virgali, thing is I have no clue how to upload a single sim.  These two are already in a family.

<--Newbie when it comes to packaging anything as I've never done it before.

If anyone knows a site or tutorial I'd be happy to try tho.

Wow this is fantastic! I have alot of elders now in my game, since I'm on my third generation and this certainly helps a great deal.

Thanks for sharing this with us 

I'd like to share pics of my third generation born twins, Hunter and Alex.  Usually twins don't look so similiar when they turn adult (at least none of mine ever has).







Hunter is on the left, Alex on the right.

Can you tell them apart at all? Anyone else ever have twins that look so alike?

Off topic but I noticed that a couple of my sims always get the "Influence someone to garden" want almost everyday - weird thing is there is no plants at all 

Bug perhaps? or do I need to plant something just to get rid of the silly want?

Ancient Sim : That's the way I thought it would be, I just love the idea of playing sims that have been created by others, then sharing the different outcomes of every family.

Eventually my sims end up looking the same, and it gets monotonous playing the same way over and over.  Main reason why I haven't been playing for a couple of weeks, and this put some interest for me into the game.

I know I am new, as well as alot of other people I've noticed have recently shown an interest in this - so what I suggest is that you and Motoki and maybe a few others who know each other better and can work together decide, and the rest of us that wants to join will accept the rules as you all see fit.  This is just my humble opinion.

Sorry didnt't mean any disrespect for Missdoh.  I just think that maxis made sims look utterly horrible, so please feel free to throw those tomatoes my way if you feel the need to

I'm up for whatever you guys decide on

JadeElliott: I think ure Whimsy Valley is beautiful, I know it's not entirely up to me but you have my vote

I have original game, uni and NL, and I'm all for the idea's here.

Personally I don't think custom skins/eyes/hair would be a problem for most, is there really anyone out there that doesn't have custom skins etc for their sims?  I can understand houses perhaps cos you could accidently get a hack or two in if ure uploading a house.  That shouldn't be too much of  a problem if you use clean installer either. Just my humble opinion of course.

I certainly don't mind any custom content on any sims, and I can always change some of them after I get the families. I think it's actualy better to try and use the sims as is, cos everyone has different tastes, and I would actually prefer to play different looking sims etc.  I thought the main idea was for this to be different playing experience for all.

I agree with Motoki/Ancient being in charge somehow, I certainly don't mind, I'm in for whatever you guys decide on.(That's if you guys think it's OK for most of us lurkers just coming out of the blue like this ).

I'm not the least suprised you'd know that Motoki

So tell us what's with the bizarre nanny obsession thingy? 

I think that 1 point you have in niceness is way overrated 

Good luck with you're appointment ness.

I've had 5 sets of twins born since I installed nightlife.  Comparing to the two sets of twins I had previously during the whole time I played original/uni.

It's probably just a random thing tho.  My romance sim Rebeka had twins (risky woohoo), then managed to get pregnant again just 5 days before coming elder (again risky woohoo) which also resulted in twins. 

The first set of twins she had (boy/boy) are so identical I can't tell them apart at all.  All my other twin sims usually just resemble each other but I can never tell these two apart.

That's the funniest sim pic I've seen ever! Poor baby will be scared for life heh.

I don't think I could handle any of my nannies walking around in the nude like that, it's just too wrong

That sounds like a great idea ZephyrZodiac.  It shouldn't be too hard to create families/homes with just maxis content.

I'm looking forward to playing a new hood if this works, Yay!

I know exactly how you feel Motoki!  I go through my sims stages, which usually consists of playing only sims for a few weeks, then I will get bored and do something else with my spare time for another few weeks.

I haven't played for about 10 days now (even though I come to MATY almost everyday to read) which keeps me a lil occupied and sometimes I'll read something that will give me ideas to start playing again.  Brynne's sims stories anyone?  

The last time which made me plays lots was when I downloaded Lizzlove's bed, I had so much fun with that it was way cool.

I really like the wildcard idea, would love to play/share any lots or families, count me in too please  

Looks interesting.  I've been looking into some new games I can purchase, but haven't found anything I want to play.

Reminds me of superstar too, although when you move the simmies they yell like they are in pain or something, seems a tad annoying heh.

Most of my sims are knowledge/family and I have to admit it's gotten fairly boring playing them now.  I have noticed a change in family sims since I've installed NL.  Most of my family sims don't even get the "Teach wants" once the baby turns toddler.  I even tested it with 4-5 families I have and only 1 sim rolled the want.

Fortune sims are not too bad to play.  I've only gotten the shubbery want on one sim, all my other fortune sims have never rolled that want, and I have at least 7-8 of them, half of them elders already.  So depends on star-sign maybe?

Romance sims can be fun to play, I always have a few of them stirring things up now and then  

Pleasure sims....I have to say is the worst aspiration ever.  I've played about 6 sims who are about a few days away from turning elder, and 2 that have turned elder.  They dont mind being married but sheesh, have some wants towards the wife/hubby/kids. Never got a want for teaching toddlers anything (even some of my romance sims get the want)  Rarely get a want for flirt/gossip etc.  If they go on a date well diff story, but that doesnt make them unique cos all aspirations get the same wants when on a date.

How many times can you constantly use the bubble-blower, play SSX, play chess and then it goes back to the same thing over and over.  My elder wants to jump on that silly couch every morning when she wakes up   I can go on and on but I think I've said enough  

Cheese Asp doesn't appeal to me much but I guess I'll get around to it sometime.

Np

I downloaded an abduction one myself few days ago.  I'll take it out tonight to see if that is the problem.

I'd appreciate if you let me know the cause if you find it. Good luck 

Yes, I've noticed that this has changed, at least in my game it is.  I checked over a few days and even tho the maid just left, my sim still has the option to clean the toilet, or sometimes the shower.  Mine was fine before NL too.

No idea if it is a neat/sloppy sim thing but I'll take a look into it tonight.

Oh and I don't know about you guys but the "Influence someone to Clean" and "Influence someone to cook a meal" comes up as a want on almost all my sims every single day :/  Almost makes me think why I take them to college to get the extra want slots.  Mind you it doesn't seem to matter if the house is clean and the hunger meter is full.

I seem to have the same problem.  I only have J.M's and T.J's mods and the inseminator. Oh and Inge's doors (can't live without those!) so not quite sure what could be causing it.

Don't think it's the insem tho, as I've had that installed since I did a clean install and was no problem then.  Unless its conflicting I have no idea what can be causing it.

Just checked I have like 15 mods, I can list them for you if you like.  It can help narrow down you're list if you have more than me.

Hi Everyone

Not really new here as I'm always reading this section but decided it was time to register and quit being lazy and all to say hello

Really glad to see T.J here, I have almost all you're mods and don't know how I could play without them.

Thanks and Welcome
