Help with the Homeless
« on: 2009 August 02, 07:10:00 »
THANKS THIS IS GREAT

A family I'd like to play is listed in the homeless population.  Is there a way to get them into a house where I can control them?  I'm using the newest AM with the IS mod, and I do have the latest EA update installed.

Did you try searching this topic before starting a new thread? There's plenty of information on this, if you'd bother to look for it.

Yes, thanks, I did.  I wasn't finding what I was looking for.  Can you guide me?

You gotta search from the main page.  Maybe that was the confusion.

My claim to Sims fame?  I was featured as a Sims 2 fan on an MTV show about The Urbz.  I'm badass like that.

Thanks for the assistance.  It's appreciated.  Obviously I didn't search correctly.  Not that I was expecting anyone to do my work for me.  I just thought some knowledgeable simmer might be willing to help me out.  My bad, eh?

Thanks again.

You perhaps (hopefully) already found it, but this thread is a good place to start.

http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,15885.0.html

If the methods outlined there don't work for you then read through the rest of the thread (it's not very long) as at least one alternate method is discussed.

Also be advised that Indie Stone has been reported to cause mass quantities of homeless. I don't know if they are fixing this issue or when but you may want to check into it further on their board at ModTheSims.

One thing you can do to try and prevent that is to not have any sim families in your library bin, not even the defaults. Delete any custom families in your bin (make a copy somewhere else if you want) and also the families in C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\GameData\Shared\NonPackaged\Library (Baker, Funke, Glover-Wozny, Lum, Martinez and Williams).

NOTE: It has been reported by multiple people that they could not patch with these families removed and had to restore them back to their original directory. Do not delete them but rather move them to another directory so you have the option to move them back at a later date if some future patch gets picky.

Or you could wait for the Awesomemod update with Awesome Story Mode due out very soon.

An Awesomemod update with Awesome Story Mode?  Now, that sounds truly Awesome!

So far, nothing I tried from the thread worked, but I found one family who still had a friendship with the homeless family.  I invited the father over, had him move in with his whole family, and seriously borked my game  LOL.  When I tried to move the "new" family into a house, they took all the old family's furniture and money, and for a while, it was a mess.  

After a restart everything seems fine except that I have one very poor family.  I'm blaming it on their poor investment strategies, and in time, they'll recover.  But I'm not going to make any further attempts at bringing back any homeless families.
