Fine with me if someone else wants to update these mods. In case it's later found that one of us made an error in one of the files, be sure to change the filename so people can distinguish them from mine, this way people will know who to blame.

Yeah that one can be a little tricky.

I enjoy the single player of MW, multiplayer sucks balls compared to BF3, unless you like a rehashed version of quake multiplayer, and I was never an Arena or UT player.

I can't say which mods need updating without actually going to update them, and then I might as well. Likely a lot wont actually need updating, but if they do, it might crash or cause strange behaviour. WinMerge is very easy to use. Just copy the xml from my mod  to the one side of winmerge, and the same xml from gameplayData.package (same resource ID) into the other side of winmerge, and compare the data. You will quickly see what I have altered and what (if anything) is missing.

It's a pain when mod authors don't update their mods, but as I stated, I only provide files for the version I'm currently playing. Unfortunately for the majority at this stage, I'm still unpatched. This is why I encourage other people to take my mods and do their own edits. It's very easy once you know which file to change, as finding the right xml to tune initially can be the most difficult part.

Anachroschism is the soldier name, but unless you are in Australia, I doubt you'll see me playing.

The update for pets is about priority. Skyrim and SWTOR this week. Then between now and Christmas there is LA Noire, Batman: Arkham City, MW3, Jurassic Park, Assassin's Creed Revelations, Metro: Last Light, Trine 2, LOTR: War in the North............ etc. I hope to fit in Pets somewhere between all that.

While I can patch these files without the Pets EP or play testing, there isn't much incentive for me to do so unless I want to play too. If there is a mod you particularly like, you might be best getting winMerge, and altering the files yourself. It's very easy to alter XML files. Or even finding a similar mod on MTS, which there are no doubt plenty.

All I can say at the moment is Soon™

Here is the direct link to the file http://www.mediafire.com/?9unqftk2kifasrs

If that doesn't work, there must be something you are doing different than the other 10000 downloaders, which mediafire doesn't like.

It is still there. Maybe Mediafire was having issues when you last tried. I double-checked and all is fine currently. I'm also still waiting to get Pets.

There should be no conflict with my mod and awesome mod. You can check for duplicate files by opening both in s3pe. It's more likely dashboard is reporting a false positive, or it's telling you something other than conflict errors.

You can use your mouse scroll wheel to see more skins if you can't use my mod.

Sure do. I'll do it once I get Pets, which should be next week. Looking forward to playing it. However, I plan to be playing Battlefield 3 next week too, so it might take me longer than expected.

Soon as I get pets I will look into it.

Finally finished updating to the current patch, although I'm still not actually playing at the moment. There shouldn't be any issues, but as always, let me know if you come across anything.

Also I have included a couple mods that I generated with velocitygrass' tools (MTS), simply because they were in the folder where I keep all my mods. For those two mods in particular it maybe best to generate your own using velocitygrass' mod tools, that way you get your own choice of options. Up to you.

There is also some Generations clothing marked for pregnancy, but it has no morph. More sloppy EA categorisation.

Well I know there was a bug with 1.22 that caused Sims to get stuck pregnant (if they got reset), but I've not heard of the opposite, nor have I had that issue myself. The only difference with my pregnancy tweak is that it makes the pregnancy duration longer, so the bump may take longer to show than with the standard length pregnancy.

I'm in the process of updating mods as we speak, and the pregnancy mod should be fine, as no updates were needed.

Unless Buzzler has done something new today with his interactions mod, they shouldn't share any similar files. His mod adds his own tuning files, and doesn't change any existing game xml. I can't remember all the changes off the top of my head, but If Buzzler tweaks a similar interaction, then it will likely overwrite/replace any settings I have changed for the base interaction, so you can safely use both together.

However, mine haven't yet been updated to the latest patch. Not sure when I'll get around to it at this stage, as I'm having a much needed Sims 3 break and finishing off a few other games I bought but never played.

There's nothing obvious I can think of that would cause that. Check the s3sr directory for a log file.

Make sure you have the latest s3sr.

Are you running your own script or my script?

Yes I am and yes they could.

BTW. I have not yet checked these mods for compatibility against the current patch, and I'll not be updating these mods until possibly late next week, so use at your own risk.

Uploaded a test lot. There are 5 Gothique "Urinomicon" (installed via package) and 5 Overachieving counters from the Bayside set (installed via sims3pack). Content is NOT decrapified.

Ditto on the test lot.

Kitchen, Main Bed, Bathroom were all last year stuff.

The only stuff she has installed via package is new content. Older stuff she has via the launcher. However, the sets themselves to matter, it works the same regardless of sets, so if you name a couple sets, I can ask her to build a very simple test house specifically with that content, which should make it easier for you to track.

ftp.kludgemush.com/incoming/OakishHome.7z

This was a test house made with a mix of package and sims3pack installed store content. Neither the lot or the content was decrapified.

I tested the imported lot vs decrapifed issue with the help of my Wife, as I wanted finally work out what was going on. I decrapify all my items, where as my wife doesn't. She has some of her stuff installed via launcher and other via package, none of which is decrapified. She built a lot for me to test, using a mix of items from from her packages and her launcher installed items. I took the sims3pack and decrapified it, then installed it. No Store stuff showed up when I loaded up the house, only base game and EP/SP stuff.

So it appears that the method used to install stuff doesn't matter. It seems that if the author doesn't decrapify their items before building the house, then the downloaded house will have no store objects for us decrapifiers.

No big loss. I can make do without.

Updated some stuff. Don't ask what, as I don't recall. It's like a lucky dip.

The base/EP/SP stuff is located in the relevant GameData\Shared folder of your installation folder.

It appears you aren't aware of many things. The water slide is the thing on the lawn, with water, that Sims slide on. Though I'm sure enough people have informed you already.

Interesting that even with all these real world facts, there is still no one here that has proven my comment wrong. In fact, even witch has agreed (below) with my points of regional differences and types of power generations, as well as that water slide you failed to see.

Keep trying.


Just to reiterate and clarify. It is a nice Generations equipped house. It simply didn't jump out and say eco-friendly to me. While this maybe down to regional based opinion, and lifestyle, it's still an opinion. No amount of trivial debate can change that.

I'm sure a lot of it is regional. Such as wood heating here is considered harmful, and leaving the tap running is considered a waste. Which is the basis of my original opinion. It appears every other post was attempt to correct my opinion with facts, but failing to allow for regional differences in environment, power generation, and the likes, which I tried to point out in my second and sixth post. Also pointed out by witch. At no point have I suggested that anyone's facts are wrong, and it's obvious I don't need to.  


I tried pointing that out in my 3rd and 4th post. Maybe I should have been more clear. I had never intended my opinion to start a Google fact finding mission to educate me in the environmental impact and power generation of wood. At least this gives me an excuse to up my post count
