Does the LTR mod stop the infernal pop-ups 'so and so is no longer a friend?'  I get them for people my sims have never met and I don't care if their relationship decays or not.

This disables the 'lifetimehappiness' cheat for more reward points.

A very much needed mod and very much appreciated. Thanks 

Would anyone know what would cause playables to stop showing up in common areas?  I've taken out all hacks and they still do not show up.  I even went so far as to reinstall AL. They used to drive me crazy playing on the playground, in hot tubs or swimming pool, monopolizing the pool table or chess tables, at all hours now there is no one, ever. 

There is an NPC replacer here: Paladin's Place  It allows you to choose the outfits your NPC's wear.  Here's a good place to get period clothing: All About Style

I don't know if this is borked or EA's stupid logic, or are those the same thing?  Anyway, I only get the walk to school/work option for a brief moment right before the bus/carpool arrives.  Shouldn't you be able to walk to work/school up to an hour before they come, then not get the bus/carpool?  They wouldn't actually have to leave that early but have the option show up so the bus/car pool doesn't show up.  It is really irritating to have them walk to work while the carpool honks their horn for an hour and the kid ignores the walk to school command and gets on the bus.  (I play with free will off)

Also, is there any specific 'rules' for the 'read to sleep' action?  I only have one family that gets the option for their child; the other 3 families don't have the option.  The room configuration is pretty much the same, there are no obstructions on the floor or anything I can see that would prevent it.

ETA:  I'm playing a trailer park.  One family had a baby.  I exited that family and went to play another one in the same park and the baby shows up in this family's thumbnails.  WTF! I clicked on the baby to see where it would take me and this is what I found:



The baby was doing smustle-like movements.   

When I went back to the baby's family it was in its crib. 

I'd like for the landlord/lady to stop using playables trash compactor.  He/she just barges in and uses the compactor all the time.  If the compactor is blocked he dumps the trash on the floor and leaves it for my sim to clean up. 

Will do, thanks

That could be a work-around.  I'll try it.  I would think that as long as it doesn't include the apartment door in any way it may work.  You probably couldn't move anything within the area but that would be okay. Thanks

Wow.  I searched but didn't come up with anything.  Anyway, it was pointed out to me that they are not really broken but since the game sees them as walls (without doorways) everything outside the 'fences' is seen as common area.  If you changed it so the game didn't see them as walls they wouldn't work at all, would they?

You know those little dividers in fences that came with Pets?  They don't work with apartments or trailers.  It's not a big deal but I like to use them to divide dining and desk areas when I want an open look but don't want stupid sims reading at the table or desk. Worked great, until now.  It's okay with houses so it must have something to do with apartment doors.    You don't suppose EA borked something else, do ya?

   Thanks, Inge.  I never thought of it that way.

Thanks.  I'll check that out.  I just played another family in the same complex and immediately got the message about the child missing school and not doing well.  I had not played this family yet and it was only 9:00 am on move-in Monday. Poor kid hasn't had a chance to go to school yet.

I'm playing an apartment complex with children.  My playable child got on the school but but the others did not.  Okay.  When 3:00 came around I get pop-ups telling me all the other children lost a grade because they missed school!  WTF.  I can't control whether or not they go to school.  Is this another "feature" of EA?

Thank you a million times!  My favorite beach house uses these windows and the red ones look horrible.

I just started using this a month or so ago and I loved it.  I wouldn't care if it doesn't sync vacation time just would like it for community lots in the main neighborhood.

This is something that has annoyed me since the beginning of TS2.  Can I try this if I don't have Pets installed.  I have it, I uninstalled it because I thought it was causing too many problems.  I'll re-install it if I have to.  I have all the other EPs installed but no stuff packs.

Thanks, I'll try the no-parent greet but the real problem isn't children greeting parents.  The problem is any sim returning from work, some don't even have kids and their aspiration doesn't seem to matter.  They just stand beside the car cheering.  One guy even lives alone so I guess he's just cheering for the neighbor's sake. 

Ever since installing Seasons there seems to be an increase in the cheering when sims return from work.  They stand beside the car for a half an hour yelling and posturing.  It is really annoying.  They do it everyday, not just for promotions.  Is there a hack for this or could someone make one? I've searched and searched and can't find anything.  Thanks

The over-heating stopped as soon as I removed the kitten killer. I'd say that it was totally responsible for the problem.

I've had 3 different bed fires.  The beds just burst into flames, or the sims in them do.  The first time it happened, the old couple died, after that I installed sprinklers above all beds so the other 2 times it happened no one died.

The excessive water balloon prank is annoying but I think it is a feature.  The bathing/showering is due to heat (I think).  Is their thermometer in the red?  Mine were all red all the time and I finally traced it to the InTeenimaor.  I removed that and everything is fine now as far as the bathing goes anyway.  I've noticed in a dorm I'm playing a couple of the girls (non-playable dormies) keep fighting each other and the cafeteria worker, slapping, shoving and actually fighting constantly.  I've never had that happen before.

I used to use Inge's fridge but now I use the no autonomous cooking one and it still works in my game.  If they can't autonomously cook thay don't need to go to the fridge.  I think it's by Squinge.

My people are constantly showeing and bathing, I mean CONSTANTLY!!!  Is there anyway to make a no autonomous bathing hack.  I don't know if this is a feature, glitch, bug or *gasp* hack related issue.

I don't have either home grown or home caught food and my daughter's food doesn't sparkle on her computer.  Anyway, all my food sparkles and none of hers does.
