Terminology question: what is "NPC" in this case?
« on: 2009 August 09, 13:38:12 »
THANKS THIS IS GREAT

In the most recent update/changelog post in the AwesomeMod d/l thread, it says

Quote
Added "drop objects onto NPCs to transfer to other fambly" to options list.

I'm not sure what "NPC" means in this context: a game-generated character, like the "classic" mailmen/paperboy NPCs? Or any player-created sim that isn't currently active/selected?

(I can't just quickly test it to see for myself -- I'm on OS X, so I'm very much under the impression that any attempt to install the current patch would result in a lenghty uninstall/reinstall/banging head on keyboard procedure).

I'm on OSX and running 1.4 with AM - no problem. I had to use enablescripterror before, and remove it from this config.

In TS3 "techspeak", an "NPC" is a sim that belongs to anyone other than the inactive household. "Classic" TS2 NPCs are "Service NPCs". "Townies" are not a term that technically appears in the game, but in TS3, is typically used to refer to "Non-Service sims that the player has not created or taken interest in, or are homeless".

Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I cannot accept, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of those I had to kill because they pissed me off.

Ah ok. So basically with the new version sims can now give away their old couch to their neighbour, yes? Just like they can alredy give away ingredients, fish, books etc.

Cool. Thanks for the info. I guess I was just confused by the slightly different meaning in TS2 vs. TS3.
