THANKS THIS IS GREAT

The only Twallan mods I have are Overwatch and Decensor.  I have Buzzler's Dig Site Fixer and Same Energy Gain for All Beds.

THANKS THIS IS GREAT

I'm not getting an aging bug.  My sims are aging up at the rates I specified in game options.  Could it be tight pants?

My only mods are AM, assorted Twallan (SP, overwatch, register, careers, master controller) and Buzzler birth control mirror.  The statement by Pescado here : http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,18136.msg574415.html#msg574415 seems to suggest it might be Twallan SP (unless I'm really misunderstanding it) but others in this thread say they aren't using Twallan SP.  Curious.  

You are grossly misunderstanding it. I don't have the aging bug. I did have a hiccup in my game when two playables aged up at once and story progression tried to fix the hiccup. Awesomemod complained. I posted the error report for both pes & twallan not knowing whose mod was responsible. Story progression will eventually get a rewrite in that area to fix the issue awesomemod didn't like.

I have one of the teens maxing his sculpting skill.
After breakfast I make him sculpt and when the school bus arrives he finishes the sculpture instantly even if he just began  30 in-game min before.

Did someone else notice this ?


Yes. I wonder if it makes any difference that my insta-sculpting teen had raised sculpting a lot as a kid, making sandcastles, or it affects all teens.

Mine didn't make any sandcastle. I didn't even know he could raise sculpting like that : good to know !

But he had his first skillpoints with the after school activities. He already was a teen though not a child so I'm not sure it's the same.

Also it seems it's only when the school bus arrives that it happens, not when you cancel the sculpting action on the queue for another reason.


Now my teen is grown up so I'll try making him sculpt before the carpool arrives to see if it happens with work as it did with school.

Looks like sims with the daredevil trait can slide down the railing on the spiral staircase. I play daredevils so rarely that I don't remember if that was also possible with the regular staircase before.

ETA: It's actually all teenagers who can slide down, not related to traits, after all.

Yes, I know you didn't have the aging bug - Pescado seems to indicate there that Twallan SP plays a more active role in aging up sims than might be expected, which may have implications beyond your particular bug.

I'm not certain he's right about that, if that is what he's implying. At least no more so than AwesomeStory does, comparing both around the time I did the switch-over. To my knowledge SP hasn't really changed in that functionality. It's more about using what's already in game in part of the background of your game, same as Awesome. At any rate, aging has changed in a big way in Gen, so perhaps it's more that the game now requires a different approach.

Speaking of the aging bug - my observation is that it appears that people who have played around with the new aging settings aren't having the aging bug, but those sticking to their favourite aging hacks are having issues. I'm not by any means suggesting that the aging hacks themselves are broken, however it might be an idea to move the aging sliders around (and just pop them back to normal) then save changes & see if that helps resolve any aging issues. I'd love to know if my observation is circumstantial, correlatory or has basis in fact. Actually, it might be better to do a show of hands & see if my observation is made of fail. So, if you've played with the aging sliders & are still having the issue, you're encouraged to tell me so in the most obnoxious manner possible (prize for the winner).

I noticed last night that a couple of toddlers from other households that I never touched aged instantly to young adults. I have played around with the age settings in the game, and I use no other aging hacks than what comes with AM (test version).

Speaking of Twallan's Overwatch, it's been recently updated again to version 29.  Apparently version 28 was causing borked famblies upon return from a vacation world.

I seem to have lost my clouds. I've been playing for a couple weeks now after an extended break and suddenly realized there is never a single cloud in the sky. I used to get them all the time, although I can't remember how long ago that was. I've tested it without mods and I haven't messed with any INI files since reinstalling a couple months back. Anyone else not getting any partly cloudy days anymore?

Interesting. Well, there goes my theory. I guess it must be random dumb luck as to whether or not you get the aging bug.

Is anyone with no mods at all getting a swarm of meteors?  I'm open to the cause being mod conflict but I don't use the mod previously fingered as the culprit (only running Twallan mods at the moment), and even adding in a "no meteors" mod I still got a hit on my active family last night.  The dead are piling up in a pretty inconvenient manner for a closed neighborhood.

That mod previously fingered is not the culprit.  I've never had it, and I had a problem with it. Remove Twallan's mods and see if you still get them...if you do, then one of them is outdated at least.

Is anyone else noticing that when they buy large items on vacation those items don't go into the family inventory as before? I'm missing nectar makers, treasure chests, etc.

I've been playing mod free for many sim weeks and have not seen a single meteor strike. Now I kind of want to have one.

Has anyone else tried inviting over a sim and asking them to woohoo in the shower? Afterwards my sim gets pissed and lectures the guest for behaving rudely and even gets the debuff of a guest acting inappropriately. It's not major but it is amusing.

I think you can avoid that if you ask them to spend the night.  That flags all objects for "appropriate" guest use.

I think I need to play a few more generations of teenagers because the boarding school/graduation thing doesn't really make that much sense. I sent a teen to one of the boarding schools and he randomly came back one day, unannounced. That night, I got a message saying "That concludes the dance, make sure your teen goes straight home so they don't get into trouble with the police. Check your inventory for photos." Maybe I missed it, but I don't remember getting any notifications of a dance. Anyway, so he missed it, and he's been home for a few days now. He's 5 days away from aging, so why he's still home, I don't understand.

Also, it would make more sense to hold graduation on the last day of the teenage life, instead of after becoming a YA. The only plus was the entire family got a paid day off.

Ugh, another useless EP.

Just had the same thing happen to me with a set of sims both brother and sister.  Both came back or showed up at home from separate boarding schools to go supposedly to prom.  They went but afterwards they did not go back to their boarding schools, even though they have both grown up they do not have diplomas even though they should have.  The problem I am now having is that because they grew up and do not have diplomas, they can not get a job so they are pretty much useless in that department.  Anyone know of a way to fix this or give them a diploma?

The whole dance thing does seem glitchy. I had two teenaged Sims suddenly return home in their formalwear. I didn't get any kind of notification about a dance, but I'm not sure what other reasons there could be for the clothing. Also, does every teenaged Sim get to go to prom? I've got one teenager who never got any kind of prom pop-up, and he's two days away from aging up.

I had that problem before I updated Twallan's Overwatch to version 29.  Now vacation objects in family inventory are still there when I return home.

I had all the sim teens in my household go.  The  boarding school teen's sister, who was in regular school, graduated and was then able to get a job.  It is like the game does not see the other two as young adults or teens (because they also can not get part-time jobs).

About time someone did that. Of course, I'm still hoping for outright replacements for the EA ones, mostly because I'm paranoid some poor sim will be generated with the EA options. Although I'm not sure: do game-generated sims ever get body hair applied? It seems like a good idea if they did--but only if the EA options are completely replaced. Still, the more options the better.
