Is anyone else finding the game characterized by constant violence?
Mostly.

I have no idea how you could possibly do tribal stage nonviolently, as rival tribes are out to get you from moment one, and I haven't seen any way to turn a prehostile tribe to a neutral stance. I fail at this level. I really, really fail, and kept getting my entire tribe wiped out. Tips would be appreciated.

Oh, that's easy. You give them gifts. In social mode, right-click on their food... area... blanket thing... and a group of your guys with flowers and such will bring a wrapped gift basket.

Do this as fast as you can. Really. If they attack your tribe beforehand and get truly pissed off, they might well attack anyway. Then you can do the music thing. This is randomly harder for some creatures, mainly carnivores. I had a group of carnivores attack to the point where I (and some of my allies who happened to be wandering by while gathering) had to wipe them out, wait for their chief to respawn, and THEN bring them a gift. But that does actually work.

You can also domesticate animals, who will lay eggs that you can harvest. ...I domesticated a Darwin. Lulz ensued.

Always leave at least one person at home, though. Bastard wild animals keep trying to steal food. Also, someone has to be there to accept any gifts that allies might bring.

While we're at the tips, bring as many musicians as you can, divided up evenly between every instrument you have access to. Larger tribes seem harder to impress, and having more people playing music helps.

Really? I finished this morning, just shy of three hours ago.

So far so good, though I didn't have much time to play before I had to get to work. I'm at early creature stage. I got the Pacifist label after the cellular stage as I didn't attack anything. This is mostly because I didn't know how to. My doo-hickey had a solid "Run Awaaaay!"  Movies are absolute cuteness.

That's... terribly cute.

My torrent -should- finish sometime this evening. I checked before I left for work and it was still going on strong, around 100KB transfer rate. I... well, I ordered it, but I'm terribly impatient, so I'm going to get in some offline play before it gets here next Tuesday. (Who releases a game on Sunday? That's one more day that people who ordered it online can't have it. Jerks.)

I plan to populate a cemetery with any townies who show up in that face/body paint.

I plan to make them into pet zombies, dress them properly, and use them as butlers/maids/bodyguards/nannies/etc.

You KNOW their ghosts will probably show up in that...

It got release in Australia a full week early in some places. Why? Because the store owners FAILED and put it out as soon as they got it.

Wow. So, who's brave enough to index all the current fixes and what's contained or not contained in the Mega-Archive? I'm quite lost. *boggles*

I usually like Aikea's stuff but most of her lipsticks only work on light skinned sims. The dark skinned sims end up with very light flesh toned lip liner.

This is also problematic on skins which already have some kind of lip gloss/stick (Which I hate) or excessively pale skins.
33  TS2: Burnination / Peasantry / Re: TS2 Store Stuff on: 2008 July 01, 20:26:06
Thank you muchly for the tip.

Oh man, now that I see what that hair used to look like... HP, I love you. Why do hair makers insist on leaving massive bits of scalp showing, anyway?
34  TS2: Burnination / Peasantry / Re: TS2 Store Stuff on: 2008 July 01, 19:36:43
Baa here. EA's fail fixed once again. They've been failing hard lately, too.

(On that note: Has anyone arred the IKEA preorder thingummies yet? With SFV down, I'm not sure where to check for them. Googling it's a nightmare.)

Tiger... hybrid? Does that mean that a woman got it on with a tiger?

I don't think that works. Well, I should say "Outside of Greek myth." (See: Minotaur.)

Necromancy is bad m'kay? Even in the Sims!

LOL

Necromancy is not bad in the Sims. Necrophilia, on the other hand...

Period Hack

I recall the bug log once saying that they added "more aggressive tampon insertion."

auuuugh. DO NOT WANT

I hate that painting so very much. MOUSTACHES DO NOT WORK THAT WAY!

...why yes, Warlokk's Booty Girl IS the epitome of fruit-shape parts.

Ma'am, we suspect that you are smuggling either cantaloupe melons or human heads in your top.
40  TS2: Burnination / Planet K 20X6 / Re: More Awful than You! May: Clothing Meshes of the Damned on: 2008 May 14, 03:50:01
Or very hairy legs.

The daughter of Beauty and the Bigfoot did take after her mother... however, those legs were a problem. She managed to find a way to make it work with her, though, after seeing one of the outrageous fashions on the red carpet.
41  TS2: Burnination / Planet K 20X6 / Re: More Awful than You! May: Clothing Meshes of the Damned on: 2008 May 13, 20:13:13
Those aren't boots. They're Shoggoth spies.
42  TS2: Burnination / Planet K 20X6 / Re: More Awful than You! May: Clothing Meshes of the Damned on: 2008 May 02, 18:24:34
Usually I really like warlokk's stuff. I have quite a lot of it in my game, but this one just horrorfies me!
Look at the tiny feet! The gigant breasts! looks like baloons!/ baboons

I once heard a very good rule for drawing women. "If her breasts or buttcheeks resemble any type of fruit, you are doing it wrong."

This was dubbed the Sexy Fruits rule. That woman appears to be smuggling some of those rounder watermelons in her shirt and pants. FAIL!
43  TS2: Burnination / The Podium / Re: Married twins on: 2008 April 26, 18:50:00
Incest also tends to do some screwing up in the head. (Or at least be a sign of some screwing up in the head that's already there.) But that's on more of a psychological level, and we know Sims are screwed in the head anyway.
44  TS2: Burnination / Planet K 20X6 / Re: More Awful Than You! March: Fugly Models on: 2008 March 27, 17:47:35
I find the one on the left particularly horrifying. I am convinced it is a pre-op transvestite with a love of plastic surgery.

I know someone who looks just like that. Two someones, really, but they're sisters.

...their mother smoked considerably when she was pregnant with them. They were born... um, special.

So call it a Special Ed model.

Hey, HP, did you use the versions with fixed DNA?

Just making sure. Crashies are no fun.

Hitler in drag is also apparently without genitals whatsoever.
47  TS2: Burnination / The Podium / Re: Obsessive Diary-Writing on: 2008 March 04, 20:35:23
They really should freaking make the ballet bar more fun if they like it so much.

The reward one, too! What is WITH that thing? One crappy-ass reward...
48  TS2: Burnination / Peasantry / Re: Testers Wanted: New College Scholarships on: 2008 March 02, 17:10:28
I will say that I HATE that the Goth children cannot get orphan scholarships if Mortimer dies before they hit college. WTF, people!? Bella's gone! *thud*

There... really... should be some way to make sure the kid's of a certain age before he gets a membership. eegh.

Okay, am home!

http://www.insimenator.net/showthread.php?t=63625

Am not sure this is even working with BV, to tell you the truth, but I'd kinda like to have it. I can't have Mortimer go insane and build a new Bella without it.

Of course, the bastards change back on any comm lot, but hey, one step at a time.

(This is the one I found, though there was originally one by Squinge. This one is just the most updated I can find. Ehe)
