So EA accidentally released the new world Dragon Valley, and now they're asking people to be good Samaritans and kindly delete the files off their computers.

Just wondering if anyone around here managed to snag it in time?

Without WA installed, this is the only way to get a proper camera (it would have made more sense to just sell it at the supermarket though).

I managed to fix the problem with editsim. As soon as it loaded she reverted to her old appearance, so I just accepted the "changes" and everything was alright again. Very annoying though.

Wasn't too impressed when I sent my sim back to uni for the next term. The game reassigned all the role NPCs, so former roommates became mixologists and cashiers, and a barista became my sim's new professor. One of the pre-made professors ended up taking over the coffee shop.

In case I regret my choice of accomodation, or want to get well away from annoying dormies?

It would be nice to have the ability to move house while at university. Seems like a glaring omission.

So this totally happened.



I had my sim take a smart phone picture with one of the sorority girls, queued up some romantic interactions, and when I next looked back she had regenerated into a clone of my sim.

According to EAxis, performance decay is intentional.

So, uh, I'm getting a "herp derp license limit reached" when trying to install store content with that horrible launcher. Has something changed with that recent update?

EDIT: Never mind. Something fucked up during my UL install.

Wow, about time they pulled their finger out. And actual gameplay fixes too, not just "fixed obscure voodoo crash".

I patched the day the patch was released, and my game has been working fine until updating to the 19th November AM, from whatever test one came before that (I haven't actually played the game in a few days, just updated the mod in the meantime). I did manage to get it load after leaving it a few hours, so it's literally just a vastly increased loading time.

The latest AM seems to be causing a vast increase in loading time for my save, to the point where I simply can't load it. I've tried several times, and after seeing the loading bar still at 1/3 after an hour I just give up. Took out AM and it loaded in about 5-10 minutes. Put it back in, and it's taking forever again.

It's nice to have weather at last, although the ep is lacking in assets.

Anyway I've had a whole bunch of problems. Seasons seems determined to kill off the population of my hood. Sims starving to death from the eating contests. Spontaneous combustions all over the place, in some cases getting stuck in a loop that prevents sims or rain from putting it out.

My weather stone has turned invisible, and AM's Nuke option has disappeared, so I'm not sure what to do to get it back. I can't even redeem festival tickets. As far as the merchant is concerned, the ones my sims have in their inventories don't count at all.

Patch 1.42 includes a new debug object hidden in the game files. It allows you to convert playable sims into townies (homeless sims) or service NPCs. This is a simple override to enable the object.

Debug interactions must be enabled in order to utilise the object's functions. No interactions are available otherwise. Use with caution, as sims converted will be immediately removed from the household.

The object is found under Debug > Misc

I don't know if this is of any use, but I seem to recall one of the torrents for that EP having a strange method of installation. Initially, it can appear installed when in fact many of the required files for the game to run aren't actually present (until taking some further steps).

A new update has been released.

Patch Notes

Well it kinda is optional. The button on the right of the Buy Mode panel toggles Store Mode on or off. When it's off, you won't see any store shit. It's exactly the same as before except for the button itself. You can't disable the button's presence, but hiding it with a mod should be trivial to do.

The new update for Supernatural's release is now available.

Undocumented changes

Sauna not working for me either. Luckily the Massage Table and Shower work fine, apart from the usual missing accessories/props.

For some reason, the gold version doesn't have the retreat lot in the world by default. You have to place it yourself (at least it's 30x30). I used the evil launcher and placed the lot, and amazingly none of the objects disappeared on me (I usually can't even get the package lots to show up correctly). Looks like the massage table drafts a random sim to act as a masseuse.

I notice there are several oversights with the DJ booth. Was wondering if some changes could be incorporated into Awesomemod.

- There is a DJ Service NPC for hire in the game but DJs don't actually appear on community lots, where they would actually be of some use. It's kinda stupid how most of the Showtime venues are silent unless you actually send your sim to do the damn job themselves.
- When a sim starts using a DJ booth, it doesn't automatically disable other music sources in the room like the instruments do. You have to manually disable/enable stereos, which is annoying, or otherwise allow your ears to bleed.
- The LN dance floors require music to be playing in order for sims to dance. Apparently an active DJ booth doesn't count. I'm guessing this is probably something to do with the music from the DJ booth actually being made up of sound effects. But whatever it is, it's still stupid.
-Making a Groove, or whatever, seems to prompt every sim on the lot and in the household to react to this interaction. I had a sim run out of work in the middle of their shift just so they could go home to boo the DJ.

Does anybody know if someone has made a single ear version of the male hoop earrings that come with Showtime? I could have sworn I saw this somewhere once, but I just can't seem to find anything of the sort now.

Which category are you selecting it from? There appears to be two versions of the speaker. The Community Lot Objects version has the alternate designs available, while the Buydebug version does not, for whatever stupid reason.

They've replaced the "Steel Scalloped Roof" texture with something completely different.

The objects won't appear on the lot itself if you decrapified. The venue shell doesn't show up in the catalog either, so simply replacing the missing objects isn't really an option either. Just use the packages: Download

Place "Ep6VenueStageSet.package" in the mods folder. "UltimateVenue.package" goes in your Library folder.

This is a simple override for the hidden marker object that tells Proprietor NPCs where to stand on a Venue lot. It can be used to create certain effects, such as having them stand behind counters, or just to keep them in some out-of-the-way location. By default, the object is not in the Buy Mode catalog, meaning it cannot be used for custom venues.

Place the package in your Mods folder, and you can find it under Debug>Misc. The object is called "proprietorPlacement_ftp"

Ehhh, it's a bizzare method of installing, but pretty straightforward and works just fine on my end.
