When a sim drinks a bliss elixir, then is put on supreme commander, the macro uses the motive manager to get rid of the positive "blissed" moodlet.  Nerf, please?  Very irritating; I wanted the LTH bonus of a higher bar.

Not something I put in, dude.  There's some douchebag code that says if sim has pumpkin in inventory and has been left alone for a nanosecond, s/he will whip that fucker out and start carving it.  So much hate.

Also, now that we have poison apples because magic, I want my damn poison wine. 

Nerfing of automatic pumpkin carving?  Stupid sim, I want to make pie out of those!

Hm.  Finals are making me blind.  Baa for the correction.

Those are the ones I found that up the energy, but I want ones with upped *comfort,* as well.

Arg, FFS, my google fu is annoyingly weak.  Are there any mods people know of that give all beds in-game the highest comfort and energy?  I've seen them with highest energy but low comfort, and while I get why, I'd like to be able to use more than just the top six beds or whatever.  Failed on Google-Fu for the past half hour.

Some recipes that produce "amazing" quality:

9 life fruit, 1 pomegranate - the highest value nectar

7 life fruit, 2 flame fruit, 1 plum

7 life fruit, 2 flame fruit, 1 watermelon

6 life fruit, 3 flame fruit, 1 cherimola blan grapes 

5 cranerlet nuala grapes/5 life fruit

2 gralladina, 2 cranerlet, 1 flame fruit, 1 life fruit, 1 cherry, 1 pomelo, 1 avornalino, 1 meloire 

2 life fruit, 2 gralladina fran grapes, 2 cranerlet nuala grapes, 2 cherry, 2 pomelo

5 life fruit, 5 pomelo

5 gralladina fran grapes, 5 apples
 
5 apple /5 renoit grapes

7 Flame Fruit, 1 Life Fruit, 1 Avornalino Grapes & 1 Plum

5 life fruit, 5 cranerlet

8 flame fruit, 2 cherries

5 apples, 5 renoit

5 apples, 5 gralladina

No, I haven't been able to play enough to test that far.  Laptop likes to overheat.

I've not had a single problem with that.  I've had two sims marry others from the vacation 'hoods, and it was simply a matter of mashing the romantic interactions until the "extremely irresistable" level, whereupon the options for steady/engagement came up.  Both were engaged upon vacations.

Donated.  Title unimportant/unnecessary.

Look, kids, all he's doing right now is proving concept.  If he can make the concept work, then he can fork with the tone issues after.

It's a good start; I look forward to see what more can be done with this... and hopefully, a not-shiny-at-ALL version will be available once the underlay principle is perfected.  *hates shiny skins*

The one of the bunny shirt, I believe, is the fulfilment of the prophecy that "Someone is out there right now making the blue leopard skin."  And, if anyone remembers their Sims2DVD Extras DVD, they should remember that.

I am feeling judgemental today, so I shall begin my judging this morning, and let folk rest before Amber announces whatever new contest is for December.


Category: Most barf-inducing walls.

Everything by that Agent420 person.  The non-food ones give me epileptic twitches, and I don't even have epilepsy. But, the ones that disgust me most are the food walls.  Seriously, it looks like someone ralphed up their college Godfather's orgy.




Category: Most Pointless Outdoor Stuff.


First Place: Dewshine's recolours of those fugly abstract art roof things.  Seriously, my sims would go blind looking at them.

Second Place: Pointlessly Shiny Rock by SimAddict 99.  This kind of crap is why I stopped using his stuff.  It never made it past my routine fug purge.







Category: Most Annoying House-Type Stuff.

First Place has to be Glittergirl7189's Portal of Peace recolours.  I already hate this door (and the other "groovy" items) with a burning blue passion, as they are useless to normal homebuilding, and then she just went and made them worse.  Death to the Groovy Set!




Normally, I'd say congratulations to the winners, but in this case, I prefer the "SCREW YOU ALL, YOU MAKE AWFUL STUFF!" approach.

Since November is my month, I volunteer to judge. 

These are all spectacular! I think I might actually join in this one if I can wrangle time... and not just download them all so I can make an army of Pascal clones.   

Finally, an excuse to use my natural "BAH!  HUMBUG!" to make fun of people, and posting means I won't have to judge. 

TSR:



"A tasty kitty.  Put under your tree and watch it grow."    Yanno, in my house, cats are not food... nor are they spray painted.  They're mobile space heaters.




"Candy Cane ~ the christmas clown to help your sims celebrate the winter festivities"  ... I don't think so.  I can do JUST fine cursing winter without the help of ugly-ass clowns.




"Recolor of Dgandy's "Lovers Suite" in a peppermint stripe just in time for Christmas."   Uh, yeah, because I always repaper/recarpet the room and change out the furniture for blocky weirdness for one damn month out of the year.  Right.




The obligatory Buntah entry.  Poor textures, improbable pieces, visible asscrack, and yeah, that looks REAL warm.  This is a woman who obviously does not know what 'winter' means.  (Or 'good taste,' for that matter.)




"Here's a fun candy cane lipstick for the holidays. Available in all ages and both sexes."  Because, yeah, like that's really going to stay, like we're really going to take the half-hour it takes to get it to look like that (for the ten seconds before it goes all mushy). and like a GUY is going to take all that time unless his three-year-old daughter is sloppily painting it on him.




Uh-huh... because candy really *does* float and hover...




Better yet--cubist candy, in all shades of WTF?




Oh, I've *always* wanted to sleep in a bowl of freakishly-large candy corn... not.

Oh, I'm not really pissed or anything, Amber.  Just a small nose-thumbing at the Irksome One.  I'm going through and checking out a bunch of modded objects along with the mods themselves, so if anything else (aside from the damn clothingtool) freaks out, I'll make mention of it.

I'm testing these right now.  Somewhere in here is the one that was giving me fits about fried chicken, for some weirdass reason.  Buyable Work and NPC Clothes worked fine, and I'm loading the game again now to test the Maxis adult clothes for A YA & E.

Update: It is the Preg and Servo Change Appearance Pack.  This is what caused the problem about which the FoJ blew me off in OYBI.

I've been through my entire downloads folder trying to figure out where I might have a "Fried Chicken Menu" mod or object, but honestly, I can't find anything.  Attached is the errorlog--I click on the clothing rack, and the error pops up before I can select anything else.  Am I reading the conflict right?

Oh, this is not optional.  It will be done whether I like it or not.  I'm just trying to find the best ways to minimize headache as much as possible.

1.  Okay, I'm not insane in my desire to back stuff up.  I've had far too many BFBVFS to view the thought of not backing up without trepidation.

2.  Sounds cool.  I'll have to go through tonight and make a master list of stuffeths I absolutely need to get back once it's all done.

*click*  Baaaah.

These are very small questions, and hopefully easily answered.

My brother in law wants to reinstall my OS without wiping any data from the hard drive.  He insists that doing this will not touch or harm anything except clearing out the registry, nixing hidden temp files, and a few other system stuffeths.

1.  Is this really going to not touch my stuff?  I'm betting it'll be a darn good idea to back up all my used files somehow just in case there's an "oops."  I seem to be the Goddess of Entropy; everything except weaponry breaks when I try to fiddle with the insides; if it can fark up, it will.

2.  If everything goes well, and I don't lose any data, will I have to reinstall the Sims to get it to work again, or will it run afterwards without futzing?  I already know I'll have to spend a lot of time putting codecs and players and other stuffeths back.  Just didn't know if this'd be added onto the list.

This explains the lockitude of the noneawesome house contest posts.

Why "glasses" instead of "glass jaw?"  To have a glass jaw is to be a pussy and have a jaw that shatters easily.
