It's usually nicer to start your own thread for hacks & stuff, so that if you have to troubleshoot or whatever it's not hogging someone else's thread.

This looks interesting though. I'll give it a crack & let you know what I think - in your own new shiny thread.

I also found this over at mts2. It's very gritty. I love it, but alas, not quite right for steampunk. http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=39046

i saw some stuff over at mts2 & insim while I was trolling for steampunk. Much of it reminds me a bit of shadowrun/william gibson style cyberpunk. Definitely check out the goth-punk clothing over at mts2 for that sort of thing.

I know I was kind of going 'but but but, steampunk, not cyberpunk. Damn! when i saw them.

speaking of default replacements, i was fooling around with my hacks & had paladin's replacements in for a while (unthinkingly) earlier today. Now that I'm playing a normal hood without the requisite meshes, I've got npcs that look like your nannies.

wow. that is uniquely foul.

Is her name Flipper?

Those kids with boobs are creepy. No 8 year old should have a bigger rack than the average 20-something.

Trolling MTS2 I found this. It's not much, but it's a start.



Also this. If you can see nipple, it's whoreclothing.



Oh, and does this(the red one) get bonus points for being a featured upload?

That's autonomous casual romance, it's fantastic & I highly recommend it as an autonomous-type hack.

How do you turn that sucker off? I've managed to find all the other annoyancy-type things like the cut scene thingy, but that one strangely eludes me.

You think it's bad watching them do dishes in the bathroom? Try watching them ignore the perfectly functional & obstenaibly higher environmented & cookinated benches in front of them to go prep food in the very funky, green-smoking bathroom with the horrible locker-room bench-top. That's some fucked up shit right there.

It's a SA cliche. What's to understand?

yeah, well you know that only takes up a day. The rest of the time I get to be bitchy at everyone as my nerves fray at the thought of having to be around... you know, people... It's mostly the next couple of weeks you won't hear anything from be because I'll be too busy having fun & watching my husband spend money like water.

And who gets married in the middle of the week, anyway?


Feh. So am I. And strangely I still get people who claim to be my bestest buddy in the whole wide world who refer to me as he. We'll both live.

At least he's being consistent. And it is a sad state of affairs that I have come to the point where I will say that. Sigh.

That explains everything.

Lock it. That's one fear slot taken up by an unfulfillable fear instead of something stupid & way too common.

I wouldn't have a clue why it's happening, but I'd be happy if I got it.

I have got to stop looking at this thread. I'm staring to feel very not well.

those denim shorts.

barf!!

that may well be, but they just appear to drive right through them, thus my comment. I don't pretend to be geeky about coding, just about art.

That sounds really cool, except..... sims already act like they have varying intelligence, regardless of actual IQ. The best examples I have are Darren Dreamer & John Burb, neither of whom are capable of doing a damn thing on their own to enable thier own survival.

But I am all for anything that adds variety to my game.

ooh, necromantic.

The goal is to have fun, really.

cars ignore fences & walls in my game. I've done the moveobjects + fence thing & it works fine.

Has anyone else had a jump bug explosion since installing the patch, or am I just extraordinarily lucky?

Well, so far as I've been able to determine, it's "any subsequent toilet with a buy bogroll" that is the layout problem, and only since I installed the second Pets patch (the one for the game, not the bodyshop one, just to be absolutely clear).

As I said, I had this problem in different areas of the house if I moved the toilet, and with different layouts. I tried replicating the exact layout of the bathroom in the house that DOES work, with no success. I think I can safely assume that it is NOT a layout problem, but a multiple bathroom problem, and only since the Pets patch, in my game.

I haven't tested this in any other hoods yet, but I will later, and I will let you know if the problem is my hood, along with an apology for the inconvenience if required. But I do hope you will understand that this morning planning my hens' night is coming before testing your hack. I'll get back to you eventually, but trust me, I will get back to you. I'm annoying like that.


*EDIT: I haven't been able to replicate it on another lot yet, so it's quite likely that it's either that lot that's the problem or it's resolved itself. Unless BUY has a problim with paladin's servo recharger, which is another thing I'm going to look into.

*ANOTHER EDIT: It's the servo recharger that's the problem. Don't have it on the same level as a toilet & you're right. My apologies, and I hope this helps other people with the same nifty goodness.

normally an excellent suggestion, but the flashyness stuffs it up - it looks like I've paused with the "evict" mode on. And that's the only reason i sat around & tried for so long in game.
