I smiled at that Drawn Together reference. 

Thank you for taking the time to reply.

I decided to go with the Debug Interactions and Celebi-fy and Vamp up some random townies. We'll see how it goes from there.

My question is.. will AwesomeStory automagically spawn Vampires and Celebrities in a 'hood after using the "destroyallhumans" cheat? If not, is there a way to easily "spawn" a few of each around my town?

I've been playing my current sim for at least 4 sim-weeks and still no fangs or stars in sight. :\

Search MOAR and you'll notice that it doesn't fix CAW. >_<

It might be of interest to others who are having similar problems, to know what you did to fix the problem. If just to save people from posting this question again?

My firefighter has caught the "running bug" and I've heard people say their Private Investigators are getting a "sneaking bug," so this bug seems to be everywhere. :\

Wow, and all this time I thought that was a weasel in a ball gown! 

Insane (and maybe Inappropriate) sims do this frequently. 

The sim in my test save had a girl on the first try, and I didn't eat/do anything to change the baby's gender.

EDIT to avoid double-posting:


Boring enough to make you rant non-stop... <_<

That's good to know, so according to my test fambly, I do not have to worry about falconpunching. Cool.

Question is, does this work the same with the male pregnancy meshes? Or are they separate pieces of clothing?

That's why I love Create-a-Style.

Well from the way "genetics" seem to work in the Sims 3, they seem to be all about looks. There was an article in the forums somewhere, stating that if a parent changed their hair color via the "Change Appearance" option on mirrors, that it would be passed down as if it were their natural hair color.


When you say CAS, do you mean editing through the "editsim" cheat or using the "Plan Outfit"/"Change Appearance" options? If you mean the latter, that would suck if the sims ends up with ugly randomized maternity clothing. >_<

EDIT: Was looking for that article again and found this...


What I'm wondering is if this applies to the "bodysnatch" changes?

The game does this automatically, what I would like is for the adopted sim to look as if it were a biological offspring. Because fugly maxis genes are, well.. fugly maxis genes. <_<


This worked great, thanks.  Just tried it in a "test save" everything came out as should be except that my sim's outfits (all of them except nude) were the exact same, I'm assuming this can be changed via the dresser or editsim though, right?

Apparently. 0_0 The idea worked better in my head, I guess. <_<

I'm going to have to look up this "bodysnatch" feature you speak of, heard it thrown around once or twice never thought I'd need it.

So the tutorial did end up being deemed "un-awesome." :\

I'm kind of tired of my gay sim's adopted children looking... well, adopted? So I looked up surrogacy mods but found nothing other than "tutorials" on moving in a female sim, knocking her up, and moving her out once the baby was born, and well I did not find that to be a satisfying method. Which is why I came up with this idea...

Let me know if this is "non-awesome" or might result in a BFBVFS, but I wanted to point out that I haven't encountered any problems with this method so far.

So here goes:

1 - You'll want to use the "editsim" cheat and open up each sim parent and save them to the sim bin. (Note: this doesn't seem to work for sims who are not on the currently selected lot."

2 - Once you have both sims saved, you'll want to go into "Edit Town" and into the "Create Sims" tool.

3 - Using the sim bin "saves," recreate the sim parents.

4 - Now depending on whether the parents are of same or opposite genders, you'll need to have them of opposite genders, easily achieved for same-sex couples by ticking the opposite gender on one of the sims. (Obvious, much?)

5 - Anyways, now you'll want to use the "Play with Genetics" tool, mess around with it until you have an offspring to your liking. This might also be a good time to plan out outfits, change personality to resemble the parents, etc.

6 - Save the offspring to the sim bin, cancel the household and return to your game.

7 - Now to apply the changes to the offspring, simply open up the cheats console and use the "editsim" cheat on the offspring and apply the sim bin save.

6 - Create household, place somewhere in neighborhood.

7 - With the adopted offspring selected, use the "bodysnatch" cheat by entering the offspring "replacement"'s name in the cheat console like this: "bodysnatch Simmy Simons" Simmy Simons being the replacement's name.

8 - And voila, a child that looks hopefully "more" biological.  

Hope this helps.

Please comment.   Thanks.

Oh, cool. ^_^

And thank you so very much, it's working now. 

Thanks for the reply. ^_^

Is there another new one? 0_o I just had mine expire two-three days ago, and got the newest then.

I recently experienced a problem with one of my sims not being able to join the Firefighter career.

That led me to trying to make him quit via the phone and then apply, but no matter how I do it, my sim just can not quit his job. I also tried with his parents, one level 10 Law Enforcement and on Self-Employed Writer. Only the Writer could quit his "job."

Now as I tried over and over again I noticed that when I do it via the cell phone, the sim kind of "resets" after going through the regular process. The sim would call, I'd get the usual prompts asking if I'm sure I want to quit, and a notification that I quit. But when I check the career panel he is still in that career. When he does it on the laptop, it gets stuck open with the screen animating until someone interacts with it.

I hope/think that all made sense... <_<

Anyways, the CC/Hacks I have atm are Sims 3 Store items and Awesomemod.

Thanks in advance for any help. ^_^

You don't miss opportunities for not answering the phone. You should still receive them once the phone stops ringing.

You need to talk, discuss, joke about work and get the topic started to get the options to ask for raises and promotions. The sims 3 socials are very contextual.

I would say that unless it specifically mentions the word "simultaneous" than it's not. I mean in the sims 2 romance sims' lifetime wants all spoke about simultaneous-ness...

I'm having the same problem though I had no hacks in my game at the moment of testing. (Other than a lighting mod and a camera mod)

Also when visiting townies apartment I noticed that objects I had placed off the grid with boolprop snapobjectstogrid false reset themselves to the closest grid block making. And also some objects (kitchen set from Kitchen and Bath and some custom content) disapeared from the units owned by TOWNIES. The two things mentioned actually don't happen at all in my own units.

Help, please?

I've got good news and then I've got some bad news.

Good: It's not my downloads or userdata. I tried it again my sim disappeared but right before it did I clicked on the menu and was able to send the invisible sim to the hobby lot.

Bad: I'm probably going to have to reinstall the game OR wait for a patch if that doesn't work.
