And rig a spare speaker where you can hear it, so  you know when they're downloading spyware!

You can also do SimSurgery with SimPE to copy a Sims appearance.  You could do SimSurgery on each person in your Sim family and make duplicates of the whole family with BodyShop, move them into the game and pack them up.

I think if you open up each lot file in the LotBin (My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\LotCatalog) with SimPE, you can see a view for each floor and a front view (the jpg resources, not the Texture resources).  After closing the file, you can delete it.  Do not attempt this on the files in the My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Neighborhoods\N001\Lots folder.  Bad things will happen.

One great idea before you let the 3 kids loose again... Get some AV.  Any AV.  Also something like SpyBot.

Did you back up your Sims data directory first?

Even though I'm a huge fan of BYU, I don't use it in every household. Those lots with only one or two Sims who have a limited budget aren't allowed such luxuries, just so I can see what kind of interesting things they will do, such as playing pirate in the tub. (I know BYU is cheap, but I like to torture at least some of my Sims).
LUXURY?!? Terlet paper is a LUXURY now? What are you proposing instead, going back to leaves?

Yep.  The best kind is poison ivy.
105  TS2: Burnination / The Podium / Re: Augmented Sims... on: 2007 March 12, 02:38:50
I know asking here was a shot in the dark.

Warlokk's stuff is too encumbersome (heh!).

You have to pick outfits to match the body type... pick the custom skintone to the size you want then match all the clothes blah blah blah... bloating my downloads folder to an annoying size. I don't want all that custom content.

Warlokk's multiple hip/bra-size files have been somewhat superceded by his Pinup Girl body type.
106  TS2: Burnination / The Podium / Re: Glitch Uni/Seasons ? on: 2007 March 12, 01:57:52
I had this happen several times, mostly on students with very high skills. 

I just use College->Rampage to get them to max.  When College->Rampage doesn't come up any more, you know it's Finals time!
107  TS2: Burnination / Oops! You Broke It! / Re: Ottomas family in Seasons - normal brokenness and more brokenness on: 2007 March 11, 23:52:05
Not really.  You've got a lot of stray junk in your 'hood files now.

Better to get SaraMK's empty template which keeps them from getting created in the first place.
108  TS2: Burnination / Oops! You Broke It! / Re: Corrupt Mesh? on: 2007 March 11, 23:45:34
I saw something similar to the first two pictures.  I thought it was a weird posture on the part of the Sim.
109  TS2: Burnination / Oops! You Broke It! / Re: Wardrobe error and leftovers vanishing. on: 2007 March 11, 23:34:31
Gawd how stupid!  I suppose it's like outfits.  I really do think outfits should be in a sim's inventory so they move out *with* their clothes, and the same outfit can't be worn by the whole household on the same day!  Once they have grown out of them, the player could use normal inventory controls to hand them down to another sim.

It gets better... if a preggo Sim who normally wears custom jammies (or whatever) moves out, after she has the baby, her custom jammies are gone and she has to wear the ugly Maxis ones!  I haven't tried this again after getting Squinge's wear anything as maternity clothes fix.
110  TS2: Burnination / Peasantry / Re: Tutorial: Clean custom neighbourhoods + townie creation (updated for Pets) on: 2007 March 11, 23:27:44
Get the 5 templates Nailati has done -- she's (he's?) fixed the worst of the ugly Sims, so your Townies and Dormies will be better looking.
111  TS2: Burnination / Peasantry / Re: Face Templates - Testers Wanted - Update: 14 & 15 uploaded [09 March 2007] on: 2007 March 11, 22:38:06
Thanks for the two new complete faces!  BAAAAH!  BAAAAH!  BAAAAH!  BAAAAH!  BAAAAH!  BAAAAH! 
112  TS2: Burnination / The Podium / Re: Seasons objects.package and Seasons EP on: 2007 March 07, 13:07:13
I think I'd wait for the real port.  Just use the Pets hacks until then.
113  TS2: Burnination / The Podium / Re: Business and Seasons Help... on: 2007 March 07, 13:02:03
If you "serve" the juice, can you sell the other 5 glasses?
114  TS2: Burnination / The Podium / Re: Wanting to Re-Generate my Townies. on: 2007 March 07, 12:56:03
That's why I ask questions several days before I intend to perform any such procedures.
115  TS2: Burnination / The Podium / Re: Odd things I noticed about Seasons on: 2007 March 07, 12:01:41
Omg! I have got to see if I can kill a couple with woohoo exaustion!

You could do that before Seasons, especially if you got them woohooing in a hot tub over and over.  They'd die of hunger before getting smart enough to go eat. Smiley


I killed Don Lothario that way once.
116  TS2: Burnination / The Podium / Re: Wanting to Re-Generate my Townies. on: 2007 March 07, 11:06:17
Clothes:  Make the Townie controllable using various hacks and change their clothes with the DMA gadget.

Faces:  Make the Townie controllable and use the plastic surgery station or the DMA gadget.

If you don't know what you're doing, don't monkey with SimPE.
117  TS2: Burnination / Peasantry / Re: Empty and Cleaned-up Templates. [UPDATED] on: 2007 March 07, 10:14:41
Very true! 
118  Awesomeware / The Scrapyard / Re: Suggest Outfit Fix *EXPERIMENTAL* on: 2007 March 07, 10:13:20
If Seasons includes the fix from the Pets patch (or  you installed the Pets patch), you don't need this.  Try doing "Suggest Outfit" without the hack.  If it works, it's not needed.
119  TS2: Burnination / The Podium / Re: Quick Question about File Maintenance before Seasons Install on: 2007 March 03, 16:17:01
I figure if Seasons or its installer somehow screws up and I have to uninstall it, it will only delete the "new" The Sims 2 folder that it created.  My "real" game and downloads will be safe in the renamed folder.

You're right.  Renaming Downloads doesn't work.  You have to rename The Sims 2 folder.
120  TS2: Burnination / The Podium / Re: Quick Question about File Maintenance before Seasons Install on: 2007 March 03, 16:02:53
I'm planning to navigate to My Documents/EA Games and renaming my The Sims 2 folder something like The Sims 2 So The Stupid Installer Cant Find It.  Then I'll drag everything back bit by bit after the installation.
121  TS2: Burnination / Planet K 20X6 / Re: Feb MATY "More Awful Than You" CC Treasure Hunt: Pants! on: 2007 March 03, 15:52:41
SH!   They're going to have more contests, then about June, people will be told to build a Sim using contest entries.  Ugliest full Sim wins a year's supply of eye bleach.
122  TS2: Burnination / Peasantry / Re: Empty and Cleaned-up Templates. [UPDATED] on: 2007 March 03, 15:50:26
If I have all the stupid ugly Maxis townies, downtownies, dormies, etc. all zipped up where the neighborhood creator can't find them, do I need to unzip them to make the Seasons installer happy?

I'm just waiting for Ste to say GrowUp is Seasons-friendly and I'll be at EB pronto!
123  TS2: Burnination / The Podium / Re: Riverblossomhills...as a sub hood? on: 2007 March 03, 14:08:07
Yes.  It's in SaraMK's big thread about making Strangetown and Veronaville into subhoods of Pleasantview.

Do you have an error log?  That would prolly give Ste something to work from.
125  TS2: Burnination / The Podium / Re: Creating Puppies and Kittens for Adoption on: 2007 March 03, 13:37:57
So you adopt one and modify it with the mirror.  Not that I'm willing to install InSim to make it all happen.
