If AllVampiresAreVampires seems like a good option for the configuration file, then CarnivorousZombies might be as well. I'd rather the zombie horde eat all my Sims' brains than all of their plants.


Good news, everyone! The improved CAS of Twallan's Master Controller features a werewolf transform button while editing existing Sims.

I was playing The Sims 3's very own generic Edward Cullen and realized that he does not burn up in the sun, nor does he get a vampiric vigor from the moonlight. It seems that vampires under 18 are VINOs (vampires in name only). It'd be great if vampires below YA could heat up in the sun.

This is getting pretty close to the ultimate recreation of the Sims 1 neighborhood. I like it. Now I will immediately compare it to CTNutmegger's Simsville: I love that you chose two different bridges into Old Town, and I also like the tunnel up there. I like that Old Town looks similar to how it does in Unleashed instead of suddenly being a crowded downtown area. The landscape seems a lot truer to the original.

There seems to be a scale issue, though; some lots that should be adjacent are down the street from each other. I understand how difficult it is getting the scale correct while also having everything fit together.

I also think that CTNutmegger had the right idea when she expanded the neighborhood and added the rabbit holes necessary for employment. If I were making my own Sims 1 ultimate recreation, I'd include a replica of Hot Date's downtown area as well. Maybe I'll try my hand at this someday.

Overall, is tasty. Keep up the good work.

Has anything been done with the racist trait yet? Perhaps making sims with said trait react to those on other skin sliders or of different general skin shades as they would react to a ghost? I think that sims react to ghosts with disgust more often than fear. I assume it's because ghosts continue to need to eat and digest food, but their bodies are fully transparent.

Is there any hack that changes the behavior of the World Editor in-game, and is one even possible? It'd be cool if there were a hack that allowed placement of lots on "un-routable terrain". I'm particularly interested in placing waterfront lots like the beach in Sunset Valley.

Why, yes I do. Thanks, you are on top of things!

I take a break from simming for a few months and come back to this? Some sick scripter who wants to give her sims genitalia, and who totally surpasses Crammyboy's TS2 attempt? Praise be to the Mother Llama! Keep up the good work.

My teens and elders aren't being endowed though; is the Map2 mesh not updated for them?

So, any body hair converted for ladies?

The imaginary friend looks fine, but I'll get tired of sims having such homogeneous imaginations. With a lot of skill and some editsim, I bet one could make an imaginary friend into a Hobbes.

Has anyone ever made a mod that replaces the default taxi for sims that don't own a car? A city bus would seem to make more sense for a broke and carless sim. Plus, travel using subways would make more sense.

It does indeed stop freezing after I remove my folder containing particularly intrusive hacks. I just need to narrow it down. Thanks for the tip.

I've had no trouble downloading Moryrie's convenient packages. The only problem I have so far is with the game freezing when I attempt to open the appliances section in build mode. Every section loads just fine except appliances, and the problem disappears when StoreObjects1 and Storeobjects2 are removed. I've downloaded them more than once.

I probably have plenty of bugs and CC incompatibilities, but I'd be annoyed with LN anyway. There was no cheat added to build higher than the standard maximum number of floors (the high-rising buildings are just aesthetic tricks) and the apartment "system" is totally half-arsed. These are things that probably won't be fixed in any future expansion packs, so so much for hoping that time would turn TS3 into something that's not a corner-cutting disappointment.

Your sim can woohoo in the time machine? Can this result in becoming your own grandfather?

I could have sworn that said "I Wanna Be A Guy" when I first glanced at it. That abortion@hospital mod should totally add a gender reassignment surgery feature.

The psychic police are only concerned with teenagers. If you're talking about children and their zombie-like trek home at exactly a certain time, you need to modify kChildStartCurfewHour and kChildEndCurfewHour in XML Sim_0xa29571c6f77aa18d. OR: use this attached tweak.

So, does the racist trait do anything? Does it give a sim a negative moodlet around sims of different skin sliders?

So, how is this done, and is anyone doing it?

Does this mean that anyone hoping for custom neighborhoods can abandon all hope? This was going to be the ultimate deciding factor for me in purchasing future expansion packs.

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!

I think I'm getting it through my thick skull that complaining to/about a large company makes about as much of a difference as voting.

Isn't it common for any large company to pretend their inadequacies don't exist? It makes me question capitalism.

I finally got my patch installed, but I'm crashing as soon as I try to open a neighborhood (even vanilla neighborhoods I haven't been screwing with). So, I went into my mods directory and used my mod troubleshooting method (remove half of your packages and run the game until you narrow it down to the culprit), but it seems the problem is there being any package in my mods directory at all. I tried reinstalling the framework monkey, but no go.

Does anyone know which xml files were most likely modified in GameplayData.package?

Since awesomemod is not yet updated for 1.3, I'm kind of glad that the updater failed me multiple times. But, for when I do want to install the patch, is there anything confirmed to get it to work? I took out my mods folder, restored my ini files to their backed up versions, and I never deleted the premade families. I figured my problem was my horrible, slow connection these past few days corrupting the update files.


It's just their core mods, right? Maxoids and pigheaded EAdiots seem less than enthusiastic about custom content that isn't just recolored CAST crap, so I wouldn't be surprised if they "fixed" our ability to add real CC. I imagine the reason would be that they want this series to die a quick, humiliating death.

I made a tweak to 0xA29571C6F77AA18D, but it only works if I put the package I made in my override folder. Indie Stone Compatibility Checker didn't find any incompatibility with my other packages, but it seems likely that awesomemod would modify this file. Does it happen to?

I like having Robotic Hand of God disabled because I enjoy seeing my sims wallow in their filth. Does this mean everyone in uncontrolled houses will be visited by the repo man or do they automatically pay bills?

I was rather disappointed when my "brave" sim ran away from the emperor of evil like a pussy.
