Quite frankly, I want EA to make a lot of money off of this.  You see, if they make a lot of money, they will keep on making supplements and improvements to the game.  If they don't make money, the game dies.

Where did you find that price? If it was at EBGames, they overcharge in Australia a LOT (I would know, i live in Australia)

The Sims 2 Remastered is another attempt from EA to take our money.

By the way, your name is perilously close to copyright infringement. Cease and desist please.

Well it explains why this EP is being pushed out pretty quickly. It's not surprising in the least though.

TS3 was supposed to include the entire World Adventures thing, too. I saw references in the code to a moodlet for "Adventure", just like with weather and pets, meaning all these things were ALREADY in the game and were intentionally cut. We know they already existed because they are already solved problems, and thus the only reason they are not present is because they were intentionally cut to be resold seperately.

I got these copied text files from two .ini files in TS3 from a friend.

Chann already has a utility to convert a simple comma delimited csv file to a string table or vice versa:

I am also curious about how to enter the name files in the Auto Config. I made my own replacements, but am not entirely sure how to add them in to AwesomeMod. In other words, I do not understand what the Auto Config is asking for. Also, I have all 3 (male/female/last names) combined into one STBL so I was wondering if I needed to change that. If anyone could help, that would be great. Thanks!

That is normal. Sims tend to initially start out playing the field a bit, otherwise they'd deterministically settle into their best relationship, which people think is boring. However, after they reach the commitment stage, the other relations are frequently terminated, to avoid the previous pattern of the retained relationships resulting in constant affairs.

I'm certain that they could have made neighborhoods customizable even with the lack of borders, but they designed the system stupidly and lazily, sacrificing user customization for superficially pleasing curvy roads. Making these neighborhoods customizable would require a lot of effort; it isn't worth the effort because they figure most players won't give a crap, and they are probably right, so go them!

Out of topics. Do you casually know if Beds are global? I couldn't find the xml that says "Availablity: todldlers, children,teens, adults, elders - true or false". Reason: the highest required mod over here is to avoid that kids use double beds.

I don't like it, some of my friends vomit if they see a kid in a double bed.

I was thinking of something like a Preferences or Settings utility that would be universal.  It might generate a mod XML but that would be transparent to the user and you wouldn't have to know its name.  You could have everything set up in a nice GUI app with the EA defaults that you could change as you pleased, all in one place.  Why have several different mods with different names that aren't terribly descriptive of what they do if you could have one app that does it all for you, all in one place? 

If, then, you wanted to change something, you could just tell people what setting to change in the app rather than releasing a mod.

Sure, we could tell users to edit the values in the mods if they wanted to, but some users can't for some reason or other. Or have their reasons for not wanting to touch anything out of fear they might screw up their own games. 

I wonder how hard it would be to make a single offline GUI utility that would let you modify all or any of those values and then spit out a single XML package that contains them all.  That way you wouldn't have to keep track of all the individual XML tweaks you have in your system.

@chann: Even if you destroy all humans the game will start to generate at least some new ones. How many depends on which story mode you are using. With ASM and EA you'll get minimal ones but still get some, particularly when needed like coworkers and such, but also just some townies. With Indie stone new sims will be making a run for the border to your town like crazy.

Is there alleged communal ownership of property in the TS3?  No?  Well, then it's not communism.  It's definitely centralized economic planning, though. 

I do not the Riverview Hood in my game and it doesn't matter which one I download it never works in my game. I place it in the saves and it shows up in my game as an empty tumbnail. I can click on it and it seems to load. Soon after I get a message that something is seriously wrong with it and it recommend that I restart the game.
I know that Sunset hood has a very big file in the root game that seems to have all the elements necessary to fire the hood. All I get from this Riverview is a save game that never works.
What file is missing?  I could have got the Riverview directly from Store because I have 1000 points granted, but I cannot download because it seems that it requires the damned launcher that I do not use and do not have in this computer (the one connected to internet) that doesn't play Sims and does not even have capacity to play it.
Thanks.

BTW, channTL's and my list are about 90% identical. I guess we used exactly the same source and just made different choices
