Pudding Factory is MATY's TS3 version of the Peasantry forum.  Create one new thread for each item or set you want to share; attach files if they are less than 640kb, or acquire a host like 4shared.  Use Photobucket or Imageshack to host your pictures.  If you can't manage that, stick with sites like MTS and put a link to your uploads in your signature instead.

You need the Awesomemod to prevent random shit like that.

There is a little arrow that will hide the motive bars.  Use a little self control and avoid peeking, and you'll never see a motive again.  Wanting a hack for the same function is incredibly stupid.

Thanks for letting me know.  The link is fixed now.

In TS2, Goopy was a nice (7 points), sloppy (2 points), outgoing (8 points), and lazy (2 points) Romance sim.  I would recommend:

Good
Slob
Friendly
Couch Potato
Flirty

The "grumpy" trait is stupid.  The sim isn't grouchy, he or she just gets sad instead of angry.  Just use hotheaded instead, and use grumpy where you would use "pathetic" or "whiner".

This would be far more useful with some hard data.  I'll move it to the Facts forum if you update it with facts: exact mood boost given, differences you have observed personally with a reasonably large sample over a reasonably long time, and other things that aren't taken from L&P like the Prima guide or Snooty Sims (if there is even a difference between those two).

So I got a modern video card, and now I can actually see what I'm doing.  The old BastDawn sim is surprisingly accurate; I've changed the face so little that the base game version is still okay, although I seem to have made the formal outfit out of old knitted sweaters or something.  (It looked like linen with my old card.)

But the base game version still sucks, because it doesn't have a pirate hat!  Get a pirate hat at MTS2 and you can have a much more awesome version of my sim to torture.  I took the screenshots below with the default texture replacers removed from my game, so the sim should look even better if you are using those.


Screenshots:
sim without glasses  (Yes, I'm smarter than I look, and yes, that's not saying much.  Heh.)  
wardrobe
the crappy base game version (still attached to this post)

I used the Steampunk Savvy swashbuckler outfit from the EA store MiskyK's sharing files for the main outfit, and an outfit and a texture from WA for the workout clothes and swimsuit.  I also used jonha's CAS Sliders, but the sim will still work without them.

Get the WA BastDawn pirate sim here:

Traits:
Artistic
Bookworm
Frugal
Green Thumb
No Sense of Humor

If you have the hacks to add in the hidden and extra traits, give me the Pizza Appreciator trait.  Absent minded is also okay if you can stand it.

The Lifetime Wish is Visionary, but Master of the Arts, Illustrious Author, Swimming in Cash, Living in the Lap of Luxury, or Renaissance Sim would all be equally plausible.

Favorites:
Indie music (really just a little of everything, so any category is fine)
cookies
Irish green

This sim is YA, but Adult is probably more accurate for my actual age.  (I look more like the YA version.)  Strip off the makeup if you want; I don't usually wear it, and I added lipstick only to get the lip color right.

No one at TSR has a reputation for making hacks or complex tools.  They were not involved with development of SimPE, and people go to TSR for meshes and recolors, not hacks.  It's not surprising that some people think they would be incapable of developing a Sim3 tool without a lot of hand holding.

Because we would EAT HIM ALIVE?

Win!  Seriously, this is the best suggestion yet.

Right click, choose "open with", and select the last option, "choose program..."  Select the Clean Installer from the list of programs, and check the box that says "Always open with this program".  This may not work if you have Vista; I use XP.

The SecuROM in Pets is the benign version that no one cares about.  You shouldn't have to worry about any expansions you purchased before Bon Voyage came out in September 2007.

I run the game on two computers; one is pretty low end.  For that computer I stopped at OFB (and later added Glamour Life), and it works pretty well if I limit the extra meshes I download and keep everything low-poly.  You can install everything up to Pets on a crap computer and still have it run reasonably well, although I would skip Pets as it's much buggier than the OFB engine.  If it's REALLY low end, just get OFB for the engine upgrade and leave it at that.

I don't see fitness in that list.  Is that intentional?

Is it faster than running down the stairs?  That would make it a useful part of Macrotastics.

AL only, or is this compatible with earlier expansions as well?

They aren't charging, but they profit from it nonetheless whenever someone who downloads your stuff sees advertisements on the page -- something that wouldn't bug me much if they just stuck with advertisers to make money. 

When I got sick of their greed, I moved to MTS2.  Continuing to upload stuff to TSR would have easily been seen as an endorsement.

I think Sony will probably change SecuROM's name to something no one has heard of yet.  That way, EA can say, "No SecuROM!" and be sort of telling the truth, for a given value of honesty.   

Good point.  We only have four (other) sticky threads in the Podium at the moment; this can be #5.  Hopefully that will prevent additional threads with this topic.

No.  It's never been good for that, and now that I know Pescado will purge the thread when it gets too big, all such questions will be moved unless they are too stupid to matter.  Congratulations, you have started a new thread!

Why not?  If they try to enter the bathroom on their own, they must be standing around idle with no commands in their queues.  They might as well make themselves useful.   

For my own game, I downloaded hacks that hid all of the worst clothing and then opened it with SimPE and deleted all of the files that related to the items I wanted to keep. 

Try on of the hacks by Jordi as your base:

I vote for the return of Pixie Goopy.  I liked him.   

ETA:  And Aggie, what the hell is wrong with you?  Zombie porn?

Did you seriously reply to this thread about three weeks after it died just to remind us all that you're a lazy twit?
