I had the remote control car once when I was starting a legacy back in December and didn't know it was evil. I sold it because I got tired of them wanting to use the damn thing all the time.

wow! I love that skin tone! It looks really nice. Kudos to your son for that lovely piece of work.

I don't like huge big houses because they are just impatritical, they take forever for the sims to get from A to B, and they lag my computer.

I hate the new layout at modthesims2 as well. It's a pain in the butt.

vampirism is viral not genetic, the baby will be born normal.

Me likey! Aah, our sims now have their own ideas about mates. You don't get as much control over them as you used to do you?

I really hope that's true, but I'm not getting my hopes up, I'll believe it when I see it.

Yeah, I had a sim that took like 3 hours to finish a bowl of mac and cheese because she kept falling asleep in it. It was amusing ONCE. But 4 times in the same meal is a bit much.

In one of my neighbourhoods Joe Carr married the spare to gen 2 of my legacy challenge, we;; ONE of the spares lol, there was 4 spares (3 of them still aren't dead although 2 are elders and the other should be an elder except he and his wife had 10 kids and I used elixer to keep them young). Anyway Joe died of old age fairly recently.

oh and you need to use piles of trash. They need to be able to step over the fly infested mess as that is what triggers the flies. They can't step over plates.

Am I the only one who has NEVER had to reinstall the game? Ever?

I guess I'm just lucky.

don't active sims get hungrier faster though? Or am I misremembering.

I have a Radeon 9600SE but I can't seem to find any NEW drivers for it. I used to be able to invite 6 guests or so before NL but now I can only invite 2.

And the correct response to THAT is "You clearly do have a problem, you can't write without butchering the English language"..

you might want to empty out your hacks BEFORE complaining that there is a bug in NL.

I agree, with the introduction of Chemistry the swooning over Romance sims has lost even the little grain of sense and point it had. It should be made extinct like the dinosaur it is.

Yeah, I did that once already. Was intending to phone another sim but was going to phone the vampire later and was thinking about that so I clicked on the wrong thing, gah. So easy to mess up.

Nope, it doesn't freeze the needs of regular sims. Nor do they sleep all day regardless of energy fullness as the vampires will.

For regular sims the best way to deal with pregnancy is have them meditate.

Of course I seldom have trouble with pregnant sims, they eat a lot and sleep a lot but I can noramlly keep them from ending up in a mess. Sometimes though some sims just seem to handle it badly.

I noticed that a looooong time ago.

If this is old news feel free to point and laugh.

Somebody I know on the BBS has moved in some 200 NPCs in a neighbourhood, and just postd a breakdown of their aspirations and zodiac signs.

No.1 - 55 family (30 aquarius, 25 cancer)
No.2 - 54 popularity (45 aries, 9 leo)
No.3 - 26 knowledge (15 pisces, 6 sagittarius, 5 virgo)
No.4 - 21 romance (18 libra, 3 taurus)
No.5 - 9 fortune (3 scorpio, 3 gemini, 3 capricorn)
No.6 - 4 pleasure (2 aquarius, 1 cancer, 1 libra)

The game clearly generates a few specific zodiac signs for each aspiration. It's not quite clear with the Pleasure aspiration though, as the sample size is so small as of yet.

I just thought it was interesting and noted that almost all Romance sims are Libras! With the new "What's your sign" thing that could make it easy when I want to avoid moving in Romance sims.

I have to try that, montier a dormie doing an assignment then tutor them and then see if they do their assignments faster after that.

I would agree with aspiration decay when at work/school, but not while asleep.

I like the Discworld books too! And Death is awesome!

Not in my game, I made a new neighbourhood before installing NL and because I wantd a different set of townies and NPCs then the default I deleted all the characters, after adding Academie Le Tour, and it emptied BOTH the main and the Uni neighbourhoods.

sloippy sims eat much faster then neat sims. So a sloppy grilled cheese sim can finish more sandwiches in a shorter amount of time.

She's called Angel Chin or somesuch in one of my neighbourhoods.
