Hmm. Can't say I've heard of that before. There isn't even a story progression event that changes occults back to normal, so obviously, protection from Story Progression does nothing. Do they lose their occult status immediately when you switch out or something?

I've been playing with three households in Isla Paradiso, all of which I've made Sacred, and two of them contain mermaid sims. When I switched over to them after playing with my human household, the mermaids had tuned back into humans. I had to make them mermaid again with NRaaS Master Controller but I'd like to avoid doing that every time I switch to my mermaid households. So I'd like to ask, is there a way to protect occult sims from loosing their occult status and turning into humans?

Gotcha, that makes sense. I imagine changing that might also affect how skill classes work. It seems taking a class will still raise a skill by a vanilla amount although I haven't thoroughly tested this.

Hmm, I think the reason for that is because, unlike most forms of skills progression, your Gardening gain is being driven by one-shot event-driven gains which are not a function of time, which is different from regular skill progression over time. For some reason I applied the patch only to this one spot instead of globally to core AddPoints, and I can't remember why. What I am not sure about is what happens if I change it and whether this will have some sort of unexpected fallout.

I started using awesome mod to slow down skill and job progression because I play with epic lifetimes. It seems to be working for the most of the skills I have tried so far, such as cooking and painting. However, gardening is still leveling up very quickly, seemingly at the vanilla rate. Each action gives approximately 300 or so points, and my sim is leveling up gardening after working on 5 plants or so. In an attempt to fix this, I have set "ScaleSkillDifficultyToAging" to true, "RegularSkillingDifficulty" and "VacationSkillingDifficulty"  to 10, and checked that is shows up in game with showconfig. Is there something else I can do to make gardening not level up so quickly? Thanks in advance for any help and thanks for making the mod!

Thank you. I'll probably start using NRaaS, since it allows me to do so.
In that case, I guess I can still use the Sacred household feature, since it lets me skip the whole edit town hassle when I wanna switch control to a different household.
Ok I'm so sorry, this is actually mentioned on the XCAS page at Mod the Sims. The two mods aren't compatible, I guess I didn't see it yesterday because I skimmed quickly through the page but today I read it again and it's explicitly mentioned there. For anyone who might be having the same issue, I managed to get the expanded tattoo locations by using NRaaS Master Controller with the Expanded Tattoo module + the Cmar package file provided at the NRaaS homepage. You just need to click on a sim > NRaaS > Master Controller > Basic > Tattoo. It doesn't work in regular CAS though.

Thanks for helping me!

I don't remember implementing an aging-control for singular specific households. Just TS2-style where only the household you are currently playing ages vs. Default. If you want finer-grained controls where ONE specific household doesn't age while everyone else does, you probably want some other mod on top.

If you have NRass SP, AwesomeMod SP should turn itself off and yield control over to that. At that point, Sacred does nothing unless NRaas is supporting it.

Not that I know of. I have not touched this area and have received no reports of it.

Hi, I've been using Awesome mod for a few days and I really like it! However, I need some help with three things:

1. Can I somehow disable aging for specific households? I know I can disable story progression by making a household Sacred but what about aging?
2. If I use NRaaS Story Progression instead of Awesome mod's, will the Sacred Household system interfere in any way with it? I'm not asking if it'll disable the story progression - I know it won't - I'm just worried the two mods might conflict or something, since Awesome Mod isn't programmed to work with NRaaS SP.
3. Does Awesome mod interfere with the tattoo system in CAS? I'm having trouble with Cmar's expanded tattoo locations since I installed Awesome Mod, and I'm trying to figure out if it's Awesome Mod causing it not to work or something else I have.
