That's weird... your logs both have Fountain - Pond and Cheap Crib in them.  Do you have any hacks that allow people to drown babies in the fountain? 

Try backing up your 'hood and removing all fountains and cheap cribs from the lot.

I think Jeanne's queue was empty when I asked.  Maybe an autonomous romantic interaction (they'd just got engaged, after all), but nothing more.  It was there a short time.  I think the animation might have started but don't remember exactly.


Yes, I always have debug mode on.  However, my game's been throwing weird errors from the dog's grave and from simply having more Sims than my puter can really handle living on a lot.  Will try to find it tho.


Well, my Sims have now founded their own frat house and have their boy and girl-friends move in and become playable, so I doubt I'll be doing this again.


The only changes I can really ascribe to the failed Grow Up is the extra diploma and one lock (she now has 3, didn't notice it before).  Other than that, I can't tell what came from the failed attempt and what came from the real attempt.

Since the inviting Sim was an adult, the Uni comm lots are off limits, and I don't have many Uni comm lots anyhow, since this is a custom Uni hood.


Regular.


Everything seems to be fine except the extra diploma and lock.  Her GPA is the one I picked, she's got 6 want slots (but 3 locks), two diplomas, one set of memories, etc.

 

Or she could hang one on the wall and move... I'm still debating the future of this family!

You can fix her with TwoJeff's college adjuster.  I had to fix one of my Sims this way.

You can avoid this problem in the future by using Syberspunk's Grow Up mod, which will also let you pick their honors level (non, cum laude, magna cum laude, summa cum laude).  You can also get rid of ugly townies by asking them to Grow Up until they're superannuated and the Reaper comes for them.  My primary use for the Grow Up mod is to keep childhood friends the same age as my Sims.  http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php?topic=4842.0

Bladerunner was based on Philip K. Dick's short work, "Do Androids Dream of Electronic Sheep?" which was published far far earlier than Gibson or any of the other cyberpunk genre.

The stupid names happen when you install a lot with the Maxis installer.  If you use Clean Installer, you get the original file names.  Still looking for the equivalent for Sims2Skin files!

If you cross reference between this tutorial and SaraMK's clean 'hood tutorial, the game will automatically generate your Townies, Downtownies and Dormies without all the ugly Maxis created ones.  If you get Jordi's betternames mod and Nailati's replacement face templates, you'll actually get some decent looking ones with interesting names (and fewer repeats).

When I finally got all my hacks properly updated, my sinking dog problems were over 95% gone.  I bet you've got something outdated in there.

That's why I'm not an early adopter of Seasons...

If you've got "move_objects on," try turning it off.

Ah ha!  Thanks!

Slight weirdie: My adult Sim proposed to her YA girlfriend during a date on a community lot.  I stupidly figured might as well do the whole thing and Grow her Up too...  Well, the transition never happened. 

No real harm done tho.  The next day, she invited the fiancee over and asked her to Grow Up (complete with the submenu for grade point), and it worked fine.  The only harmful side effect I can see is that she's got two diplomas in her inventory!

Grats on getting your own subforum!

If this hack is in place when you created the hood (or played it for the first time with Pets), you shouldn't get a ton of strays/adoptable adults.  That means when all the puppies and kittens have been adopted, you'll get new ones automatically.  I assume there will be a giant pause when they regenerate...

I have a residential lot with 2 graves, one human, one pet.  I believe both died in the house and were dragged outside.  Every now and then I get an error about the pet.  I don't think any Sims were mourning at the grave at the time of the error. 

At the time of the attached log, the grave was "facing" and "near" the back of the lot.  It hasn't happened since I turned it around, but it doesn't happen very often anyhow.

Dunno.  Haven't managed to adopt all those puppies and kittens yet...

Did you know that if your kitten refuses to eat and is taken away, the officer takes the bird and the cage too?

Well, once you completely empty the adoption pool of puppies and kittens, the pool will repopulate, even with nostrayrespawn.  I kind of wish it would repopulate by type, since I had only one small puppy and two large puppies and three kittens...

If the lot sync timers work on Uni lots, you could set the lot time on the uni lot and get the notification at the correct time on the home lot.  If not... just make a dummy lot with some stupid ugly Maxis Sims as residents and set it on their timer.

Yay!  It works!  It gave me a choice of 2 identical large breed puppies, 1 small breed puppy, and 3 identical kittens.  I actually don't care!  My Sims can get puppies and kittens now!

You'd basically have to follow JMP's instructions on how to Delete A Sim.  Or you could drop satellites on them while they're visiting your lot.  Or you could move them into a playable family and let that family sit in the SimBin forever.

Thought ears were fixed in a Pets Patch or maybe I was hallucinating.  If not, they're still borked.

As of Pets patch 2, Syberspunk's Grow Up hack worked wonderfully; any adult (CAS,  dropout, graduate, graduate with honors) could invite a dormie to Grow Up and you could choose their "status."  Not sure if Seasons broke it again or not.

In the nostrayrespawn thread, JMP claims (yet again, he's claimed the same thing for the last 5 versions) that the most recent version of that hack will not hang... So I've downloaded and will try it yet again.

Hairfish has YA/A/E clothes on Mermaid's Cove as well.

There is a cheat that will let you build right up to the sidewalk, but none for the sides or back.  Two squares of pristine grass on those three sides!

Bed time, shmed time.  Send 'em out to look through the telescope.

I'd actually fire up the game and try the adoption call again... I'd probably delete the 'hood afterward, I don't want 100 stray pets!

Oh  yeah!  Shelby Rice married a townie who turned out to be a general with a ton of exercise equipment and an aquarium in his inventory!  We're talking immediate house upgrade...
