Reading thread can be good

Motoki, I just did some testing. In my fresh new hood, not used for hopping between AM and Indie, it works. So I think it's related to that.

I had the same problem, Motoki. I was thinking there could be other demands for validating the houses for the families - are there? My semibunkers don't have windows for example. What are the specs for houses being suitable? Beds and cribs, anything else?

The Library is the repository of houses, households and single sims visible on the down right side in EditTown mode. Its the houses/sims that came premade with the game, and the ones you decide to save. The warning when you save says you lose on-going wants/tasks for the sims, but I did it many many times and havent seen any problems with it.
A hint, if you are building something really special, is to have a Building Save, which you play only when building. I have one, which I emptied of sims and just have a couple with certain skills/tasks, like a farmer sim with high gardening/green thumb to plant stuff in the gardens I build, and such. He was also sent on a mission to collect all sorts of stuff for my science museum, which I successfully built and filled with rocks, butterflies and gemstones - then changed to community and now use in my hood. Worked like a charm. It's great that is is so easy to change between lot types

I agree on the philosophy of Pescado regarding this - sim driven story lines are better than "story driven" sims. Will be very interesting to see what comes out of it.

I would also be interested in testing the story functions. Let me know when and how.

Growing books! I didn't think of that, lol.

What I wish for, is that the books you write automagically shows in the bookstore list, no selling-books-to-store needed. You really sold the book to the publisher, didn't you? Who heard of a writer having to peddle his books at each store also. And they show in library, so why not in the store? Silly EA.
While writing wishing list on this theme, I'll add a Supreme Commander function to order them to write books. As titles are given, I would like to assign one ore more simmies to create books for the hood.
Posting this in request thread also, as it is probably more appropriate there - even if the discussion started here.

I have tried it now, it doesn't work for me either

I'll ask this here too, probably a better place for it than the Awesome Wish Thread . So, I want my sims novels to be buyable, and I have tried selling them to the bookstore. They don't show up as buyable books. Do they have to be bestsellers for that or what? They are all in the library. Selling them to the bookstore just made them vanish from my sims house, which is sad.

I highly doubt that. I think they just mislabelled Amanda as male. Kim, btw, is a name both gender can have, also. I think its just sloppy insanity by EA.

I am so annoyed about the selling of books. My sim writes a book, and its not for sale in the store. Why? It even became a best seller, but no one can buy it, only read it in the library. I guess this is core modding?

Especially as they seem to think Amanda is a male name. I have, so far, had 2 male Amandas in my game. Interesting. But I SOO want an improved namelistfile, as we had in Sims2.

I found the plane. It wasn't in the "community lot stuff" folder, look in the Deco - Outside one. The Landgraab fountain is still nowhere to be found. I finally made a copy of the Landgraab facility to remake into a new town square. I will also see if its convertible to a residential lot - maybe then its possible to steal?

Ok, I soooo want the Landgraab Industries Fountain to place on another lot. Whyyyyy isnt it anywhere to find in catalog? Am I blind? Did anyone else find it, anywhere?
I also had a plane briefly in the community objects section - a nice big deco plane. Now disappeared. Does anyone else have it?

I place it on floor and delete it, with moveobjects on.

This happened to me when I had high res skins installed and used, and set the game to low res. Try change the settings.

Now Christianlov DID update the All-In-One for AL, which I know interests a lot of people, so I defy the scary necromancy warning, and post the link here anyway:

To place cars to sell you need to use the wholesale toggle mode.

I made some humble recolors, so these items fit in my medieval hood.

Yeah, and Snooty Sims melted. If it comes back up, I recommend it, many funny people there, bring pop corn.

Well if they are monitoring this site, then they could also read this: if they start a store, where all non-US/Canadian customers are not welcome, they WILL provoke file sharing. When you at least welcome customers that want to pay but aren't allowed, then come back.
And also, what about improved versions of the faulty stuff in the store? (There is a LOT of faulty stuff there)  And recolors?

*worships SaraMK

If I could wish for something, it was a set of mill wings as hood deco, but placeable inside the lot, so you could build a nice old mill and put the wings on it.
Like this:

I used the whole wind mill and put it inside the house for this pic. The small one on top is SMB:s old modded mill that makes flour to sell, unfortunately not visible in hood mode. So a set of wings without the actual building would be a dream. Either as hood deco or as ordinary deco.
This mill turned out a little too big, more pics on this page:

but is absolutely playable (and will be even better with the new spiral stairs soon, when I get to play it next.)

Simlogicals forum is up and working, so you can get the test version there. I am sure Leesester appreciates more testers.
