I dread sending sims to college because of the dormies. The dormies are actually quite hilarious to watch most of the time, but they have one single habit that drives me up the wall and causes me to take away every table in the dorm and make them hold their plate while sitting down and eating.

The damn dormie assignments.

The assignments themselves aren't what piss me off. the fact that they almost ALWAYS make the chair they're sitting at unusable and then come later and whine for hours that they can't sit down and do a assignment is the part that makes me want to scream. They will do this to every single chair in the dorm that has a accessible table next to it, then no one can sit down to eat.

I don't want a mod that prevents them from doing it as much; I want a mod that prevents them from doing assignments COMPLETELY if there is no way to stop them from breaking all my damn chairs in the dorm every single sim day.



But there is something odd the dormies are doing that may be causing these chairs to become unaccessible. I've noticed that since OFB, dormies appear to have a weird jump bug while sitting down for assignments. They go to sit down, then they abruptly jump beside the chair, the homework is gone, and the chair is now unusable. This happens almost every time they try to sit down and do a assignment. This never happens to controllable sims that are asked to do a assignment. Only dormies.

Here is a error log from when I forced a error on the homework while they were doing the homework. If this doesn't help, tell me when I should force a error and on what object.

Is there anyway to make them keep talking to a friend on the phone until their social bar is maxed out? This would prevent them from trying to call a maxed out friend every ten seconds while macro'ed.

Do you think there could be a option so it announces which day it is at 18:00 hours? I set the event day to tell me when it's a certain day on the lot, but that day comes and goes and I never get notification.

Well that'ss no big deal. I'll just continue to givee them low level foods, since they now give a huge amount of hunger relief.

I can't be the only person who notices this, and hates it passionately.

Macrotastics makes it that when a sim doesn't finish their meal; ANYONE without a current command will come racing to the dish to finish it off. This used to be somewhat annoying, but it was very easy to ensure it didn't happen by not letting them eat high level food that would max their hunger out before they finished, make every fat slobs who always finish their plates; I was able to cope.

Things have changed since seasons... the new sparkly food makes cereal and lunch meat sandwhiches fill someone up like grilled cheese and chilli would. Spaghetti is maxing out the hunger meter of sims who are damn near starvation.

Now I'm seeing negative effects of Macrotastics. ANY family, who is the least bit neat, are eating until their full... stopping, going to resume power idle actvities, do those for a ccouple sim minutes; BAM, they stop what they're doing and run break neck speed back to their plate, but are unable to take a bite because they're FULL. This will happen over and over and over, rendering Macrotastics completely useless and forcing me to take them out of power idle.

I hate sims who aren't in power idle...

Can Macrotastics be adjusted so they will only be summoned to food if their hunger level is at least 35% empty?

Oh my god.... BAAAAH! BAAAH! BAAAAH! BAAAAH!

I always hated how the social workers works. I remember being left alone at home for sometimes up to three hours when I was nine, and I was a very stupid child. I managed not to catch myself on fire.

The only time dogs look cute are when they're on fire!

I wish pets could burn. I always wanted to reinact cartmans cat catching on fire and zipping around.

I thought public woohoo occurred when someone was present in the room/area as woohoo intiated. The problem with it is sims will usher other sims out of the area before woohoo is performed.

25 is definately not too many for a cemetary. Me? I usually stop at 100 graves, and make another.

Want to do something fun? Get a 100 graves in a cemetary and put a knowledge sim in there for the night. If he/she lives; they'll be happy campers.

This is true, but the sound is much lower (Almost inaudible) for teens, adults, and elder. You know when you've retained child coding when it is LOUD and clear without having to get right next to the sims ass cheeks to listen.

I wouldn't have given a crap if it was a dancing naked monkey, as long as townies and dormies try to kick it and get the jebus shocked out of them.

That must be the gnome; that 3000 one. Now it does things that are a little -un-awesome even for me (Make sim pregnant randomly {bad, bad, bad}).

The thread topic states it all. There is a hack out there of a evil know that electricutes people when they try to kick it. I lost it when my computer got struck by lightning (How F'ing IRONIC) and have not been able to find it since.

I really would ove to have this gnome again. It gave me countless hours of fun and is a great way to eradicate the townies and dormies.


Edit: Found it!

I think JM should make a awesome version of the insim. I -have- to have the insim because I hate using SimPE and some of the debug modes options in the game have WEIRD side effects that you wouldn't expect from what they're doing (My all time favorite; Sim loses relationship with all family when de-aging to get rid of wacked out coding or for other various reasons).

So, I'm just fucked. I refuse to use the debug tools because of borked side effects that occur, but can't just do nothing because not one damn generation goes by where one of the children retain code, or something completely unexplainable happens.

Teen males should not be making musical pee. If this is occuring, then the teen has retained some of the child coding. Most of the time this will cause no problems and will either stop, or continue into even adult and elder age. But there is a chance they will leave the lot, then come back in a strange teen/child, adult/child, ELDER/CHILD hybrid because of the remaining child coding causing the other age coding to become borked, causing the game to use the usable data... the remaining child coding.

Don't -burn- them; it's a waste of time. You need to age them back down to a child, and age them back up to a teen again. If this doesn't work, then you need to age them back down to a Toddler, and then to child, and back to teen. I promise the aging down to toddler will fix it, because it wipes the child coding completely that was remaining.

That's the way you have to do it to slam it into their heads, both adult and kids. I've learned you -must- make them feel like complete idiots to make them change their habits. If you don't treat them like complete and utter shit; they will think it's the computers fault that these things are happening, and not the fact that they're too dumb to breath.

Anyone on my computers who pulls that crap wil be in "NO COMPUTER FOR YOU" Land for a long, long, LONG time.

I've taught the kids that use my comp that a computer is not a toy, unless your playing a game on it. They understand the rules, but they also know from one that thought he would be cute and try to ignore my rules (he can't use the computer at his house even now) that I don't play around when it comes to how computers are handled and what is accessed.

Children and teens are morons and should be judged as morons until absolutely proven to not be morons and versa.

Had the same thing happen to me with the burb's kid in pleasantview. Got the error when she got in the car, but eventually she left. Oddly enough, she came back as a CHILD! She didn't look like a child, but a weird kneeled teen. I found some of those pre-made sim children have some really fucked up coding that can only be resolved by turning them into a toddler, and re-aging them to reset the borked coding.

I've accidently deleted neighborhoods by not paying attention and being a moron. They should have that -moron proof- form of deleting stuff.

Delete? "Yes no"
Are you sure? "Yes no"
Are you -really- sure? "Yes no"
really DELETE This? "Yes no"

.... AW SHIT! NOT AGAIN!

That is frightening, but brilliant obvious solution. 

Damn... this reminds meof the song, "I'm my own grandpa!"

Rules when dealing with a computer,

#1. DO NOT HIT THE COMPUTER!
#2. DO NOT BITE THE COMPUTER!
#3. DO NOT PLEAD WITH THE COMPUTER!
#4. DO NOT BRIBE THE COMPUTER WITH SEXUAL ADVANCEMENTS!

If you follow these rules, you're computer will be fixed.

If you do one of the above, then you should now stand up and hit your head against the wall until you see stars, and or die, in that order. Honestly, if there is something wrong with your comp, find out what is wrong and fix it. A computer does not learn from physical abuse (unlike children, aunts, beagles); it just makes the problem worst or causes the computer to quit working.

Solution to your problem. Is it the tower vibrating? Does it stop when you firmly put your hand on top of the tower (WITHOUT HITTING IT) and press down to prevent any vibrations? Yes, put a book on top of the tower; no? Something is loose or (likely and in your situation) damaged and needs replaced.

*Sigh* Honestly, dumb people, children, and beagles make me wonder where the nearest wicker handbasket to hell is so I can stuff them into it.

since I don't have the cellphone bug killing me as soon as I get my hood going good; I've not got about 50 sims and rising rapidly (DOOG DOG! SKNAHT MJ). I can see when I hit about 400, using the decimate neighborhood, just to giggle madly as some of them insta die.

When you -burn- a sim; they aren't deleted from the game. Just save and come back and they will be sitting beside the mailbox with default motives.
