Amorata, there have been several requests for babysitter improvment; they're kind of a pain in everyone's ass.  One imperfect solution is to simply create a sim caregiver and move him or her into your sim house as a live-in nanny.  Annoying, since thier babycare is completely unautomated so you have to tell them what to do all the time, but also good because you actually *can* tell them what to do so they don't just stand thier picking their nose for hours while the spawn screams in hunger, hygene, and social despiration.  Another bonus is that you don't have to pay them.   

Yes, and worse some hair distorts wildly (ie the conversion of Nouk's Donna hair which is availalbe at GOS and Mod the Sims) if certain sliders are adjusted more than the tiniest bit.

Someone said the only clothing mesh with issues was the t-shirt, but I have issues with the goth dress as well.  And not just with making the breasts too big; it looks really, really strange on my sim who's breasts are smaller and higher than normal.

You could have killed her, or just watied for her to die of old age.  Or, you could have been *better than* her.  Just because a sim is already Leader of the Free World for example, doesn't mean they will always have that job.  If your sim was outperforming her, your sim would have been promoted and that sim demoted.

Delphy warns that some clothes will look strange or just plain won't work with this (so far all the clothing I've tried it with looks fine); however,  I discovered that certain hairs will have issues with it, depending on where you place the sliders.  Honestly, it's not a game mod I would have bothered with but my husband insisted I download it.   

A whole lot of CC doesn't have any CC symbol, and some of it I think claims to be from the Sims Store when it is not.  It's very confusing if you're trying to share something and trying to remember if that content was actually base game or what.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean here.  I don't want all the teens in the hood to age up all at the same time.  I just want them to age at the same rate as my playables.  So if my child meets another child on his first day of school, she won't be an Adult before he's even a teen.

Thank you so much for sharing these.  I have been wanting to start my own medieval TS3 hood since my TS2 one never got off the ground.  These will provide some much-needed inspiration since building has never been my strong suit.

Well, in my expirence paper cariers don't age well at all.  I had two female paper carriers who were children at the same time as my playable was a child.  When he aged to teen, they were still children, then they aged to teens a few days later.  However, a couple of days after that, they were suddenly adults (possibly/probably YAs).  This is in the same hood (Hatchet Falls) which I downloaded from the Pudding Factory where I had several inactive todlers suddenly become teens while my todler was still a todler and my child was still a child.  I'll have to do some more testing and such, since I must provide a series of saves to verrify this happening. 

Would it be at all possible to expand the no fast aging of inactive babies to include no fast aging of any inactives?

I always update my awesome mod before I play, so I know I have the newest version.  I have inactive toddlers jumping right to teens (apparently?), and inactive children aging to teens and then aging again to adults all while my playable teen is still a teen.  I don't understand why the game is so broken to begin with, but a fix that forces the entire neighbourhood to actually age in sync would be *greatly* appreciated.

Can we still age ghost babies with the birthday cake?

eta: Ok, I'm stupid.  I forgot about inactive ghost babies.

I started playing the Calendar family yesterday and I must say I like Hatchet Falls a lot.  I did notice, though, that the Leftover Autumn Salad in thier fridge spoils while they are eating it (causing mom Calendar to run to the bathroom to throw up a while later).  Not that I need that "fixed" or anything, just a head's up to others so they'll know to simply delete it and prepare fresh food if they're playing that family.

Eta: I've been continuing with the Calendar family, and I've noticed some oddities.  I'm wondering if it's just me.

1. Some "wild" plants are unharvestable, though they are displaying "Harvest" as their growth state.  The only option I get on them is "view".  I have noticed this in 240 Sunnyside Blvd (I wanted those peppers!) and the apple trees at the school.  Other wild plants are functioning normally, such as the tomatoes and potatoes at 260 Sunnyside Blvd and the trees in the park.

2. The Westley todlers somehow aged to teens though the Calendar boy is still a child and the girl is still a todler.

Is it intentional that the watermelon plants growing on 270 Sunnyside Blvd are Foul and Putrid quality?

Usually, I direct my simkid to interact with the other kid, which works fine so long as the other kid isn't passing out on the floor (which is usually what happens!).

Do you have anyone in your town who is actually capable of having children (that is, do you have any Young Adult or Adult females)?  If not, you'll probably have to manually move a few in to avoid total town extinction.

Did he have the Insane or Innapropriate traits?  If so, this is normal behavour and has absolutely nothing to do with the outfit in question.

They are called "cattails" in the game and they came with the base game.  Imo, the thumbnails kind of suck; you kind of have to place them to see what they really look like.

Teeldeer, TeeldeerImune, Narcalepsy, and Incontinent AFAIK.  Don't quote me on those spellings, though.

So it's only the very cheapest of these items that are harmful?

Nice.  I like how you put cribs in them. 

They are all very pretty and have such interesting layouts.  Gosh, I wish I could build like that; all my sim houses are boring, ugly boxes.

I have to ask, do any of the pre-built houses contain cribs?

I havn't downloaded yet because I currently have my game running, but this looks fantastic.  I'm excited to try it out for myself now that I've seen the screenshots.   

Is she Flirty?  That or Commitment Issues will cause married sims to cheat.  I remember that one of the Roomies, the one with long hair and a pink headband who's in Politics is Flirty.

Svetlana Baker who is an elder and starts married will also cheat on her hubby with all the YAs who apparently don't find her age (she's a grandmother for goodness sake!) or her marital status a turn-off.  I'm just hoping she dies soon.   

Is there a way to force the game to believe a want has been fulfilled when it has in fact been fulfilled, but the game is being stupid and pretending it hasn't been?  In TS2 we could just ctrl+click on the want, but that doesn't seem to do anything in TS3.

Well, in my hoods the libraries have computers, so sims can easily gain Writing without needing to buy thier own computer.  I also added some easels to one of the parks and to the school lot, so if they are smart enough, they can go paint on one of those lots.

The one thing they will not have available is gitars.  I wish they could just buy themselves one straight into thier inv, as I hate micro-managing things like that for the whole town.

By the way, this new storymode skilling thing is totally freaking awesome.

I think there are still some bugs with sims who shouldn't be cheating on their spouses still cheating:

Here we see proof that Leighton is in fact married:


Here we see his traits.  Note that he is neither flirty nor Commitment Issues:


eta:  I do in fact have the very latest version of awesomemod available as I just checked.

Yeah!  ...as long as it doesn't get kids taken away by socail services like it did in TS2 Seasons. 

edalbformat, I think I'd need a degree in WTF to understand what the hell you are trying to say in your post.

edtied to correct the transposing of letters in "understand".
