I moved a sim into the empty lot across from the beach and he had the Beautiful Vista moodlet even though the lot was empty. That was when I realized that moving houses wasn't such a good idea. I had used that lot before but had moved a sim & house to it and they never got the Beautiful Vista moodlet and at the time, I didn't realize they should have. 

yes, they can.


I use the child age for them to work on the skills they can work on, like fishing, painting, logic, cooking ...can't remember about writing. There is a farmer book that I think helps them start their gardening skill.   heh, children can actually learn quite a bit even though there is a cap on how much they can learn some skills.

Thanks Hanlon Razor!

a good half of the clothes I made for TS2 were based off 'invisible clothes'  

no top at all would be nice too 

heh, I set a guy to teaching his son to walk, out in their front yard. I then saved & switched active-house to the women across the street (to give some stuff to her kids) and looked across the street in time to see the guy finish teaching his son to walk. 

My information comes from someone who got her copy on Saturday. After installing she ran the game from the launcher and the disk and then checked for suckrot (more then once to be sure), it was not to be found. She then installed the stupid download manager and checked again for suckrot and again suckrot was not on her computer. She is one of the people who had massive problems due to suckrot before and has removed it from a dozen computers, so I will take her word for it.

neither the disk version or the stupid download manager have suckrot.

your welcome 

yes, it was a huge job but I felt it was worth it, specially since I'd be sharing them with others.   My versions that I gave plastic surgery to are being enjoyed more then the originals.  

I tried playing HP's Megahood but couldn't stand the fugly!  I thought it'd be really nice to be able to have the pre-mades I liked, in any hood I wanted. Which led to me finally doing something about it.



LOL

that is caused by her not knowing her husband is dead. In the normal Bluewater, if you teleport her dead husband to the Lot so you get the 'so and so died on another lot' message, it'll fix the problem. If I remember correctly, Denise and her son will also then get the memory of him dying.

For those people that love the idea of playing a Uber-Megahood but want to pick and choose what pre-mades are in it (a Mini-Megahood lol) - I packaged and cleaned every single pre-made family from all the Maxis/EAxis hoods.

My friend Trif did all the 'extra pre-made bin families' and also teenified all the pre-made Uni students (handy if you want them but use clean Uni templates)

I dislike how all the pre-mades look but still wanted the families so I gave them all plastic surgery and made it genetic.

you don't need to make a sim in CAS with the skintone of choice... just open the skintone file (if it isn't a default) and copy the family (dstring) line.

Changing a sims skintone in Simpe is a easy copy & paste job. Here is a nice tutorial (with pictures) to show you how.

yup, I have around 40 terrains and most of them have beaches (flat beaches).

If you have FT, you can always use the terrain cheat to edit PV. I did and even uploaded the hood for others.

99% of all InTeen issues are user error and/or a hack conflict   

yes, you can. Just go up to the roof level and put floor tiles in 'under the roof'

With empty templates and a good set of default face replacements, why would anyone need to create NPC's themselves?  (unless they were doing a theme hood or something)  The game is quite capable at creating them as needed and with a good set of default face replacements they aren't fugly.   


If townies are actually wanted, it's easy enough to turn playables into townies/downtownies/social townies or shift-click on the mailbox for the option to have the game force create a batch of 30 townies.

ya, I've known that for a very long time now.     I used "extracted in SimPE & then cloned in Bodyshop" clean files.  edit - and I packaged them as soon as I moved them onto a lot.

I use the face replacements by selzi now.



If you want some different sims for townies I have a ton of them already packaged in houses. Most were born in-game in one of my old hoods.

The ones in this thread are base-game compatible and are cc/hack clean.

the attraction marker problem your having is probably caused by how you aged them, read this --> http://www.simbology.com/smf/index.php/topic,1352.0.html

You don't need LotFullOfSims to play lots with over 8 sims living on them. You only need it for breeding more then 8.

Did you update your hacks for AL?

empty templates don't affect already created hoods, like Belladonna Cove (minus certain empty templates like Pets since BDC was created without Pets). To have an cleaned up Belladonna Cove, you need a cleaned up template for E001.


I rid my hoods of the social townies and bin families by backing up E002 and then deleting the neighborhood package file and all the characters. I then put in pre-AL copies of my hoods. The game can't add what it doesn't see.

no, the link is broke 

It points to a creature.zip not creaturefixes.zip and you get a "404 - Not Found" error

I grabbed it from the directory a while ago but some silly people might still be waiting for your broken link to work *laughs*

Squinge is sort of back -->  http://www.insimenator.net/showthread.php?t=91412

already been updated for AL - at the sims2workshop where her stuff is.



edit -



Jase will probably check these at some point, either before or after he updates InTeen.

except Pets. You can un-install Pets and not lose anything, not even your hoods.
