HARDER Harder Jobs, Please!

A couple of portraits in my Sims' house are worth a bit over §3800. The Sim who painted them has been dead for three generations now. Two grilled cheese paintings are worth about 1k less and the painter of them has been dead for about two Sim years.

How long do you mean with a "sim year"?

[gynarchy]

4 seasons.

That's a lot of simoleons!  Let me guess, the family doesn't need the money from selling it by now so the value is pretty irelevant except that their bills are nicely impressive!

.... what does it do for room score I wonder.....

The obvious answer is to move in a bunch of townies and have them paint, then off them.

I didn't get to check on Mystery's painting last night. I was playing the eldest, Oscar the Mayor's house, and saved on day 2 of a 5 day rotation. Only to have the game crash due to one of Aikea_guinea or Geyldh's meshes that I'd downloaded that night when I tried to buy adult female clothing for Bonnie, the eldest. It was on day 5, when all seven children grew up, after all the birthdays. I was pissed, but it's my fault for not saving before a birthday like I normally do. TJ's SimBlender to the rescue.

Well, in this case the paintings are portraits of previous generations so no one is allowed to cash them in. I have another hallway full of masterpieces that the family has painted in case of emergencies but they are indeed very well off so they are just wall clutter now. I don't think they do a whole lot for room score. I have them on the ground floor in the main hallway area and I can't seem to get the room score there above half. I don't know if it's the stairs, the elevator, or the amount of open space but the environment score just doesn't want to budge. I thought having the paintings there would help but the meter is still stuck at half. Maybe I should change the color and see if they like violent violet or something better.

Haha, if I ever manage to play through more than one generation of a household, I'll definitely have to get portraits of each generation.

But I get too attached to my CAS sims and never let them die or grow old.  I just had my first sim become an elder yesterday...since I bought the original Sims 2 game way back when...

And I only let that one age because it was a genetic experiment using plantsims.

It's not obvious to anyone but you!   But this idea is too good not to nick for my own 'hood.

Did you get it from the booty?  Could you pleasepleaseplease go tell Hecubus which one it is?  I'm forever having crashing problems with their meshes.  Now that they've defected, Hecubus is going to try to figure out what the fuck was going on with TSR tagging and their meshes.

A while ago I tried to start a biz where half the time they paid via the ticket machine to paint, the other half of the time they were sold their own paintings. Didn't work, as apparently sim visitors will not autonomously paint. Bah.

I put all the new adult female stuff in a quarantine folder last night so I could get the kids back to where they were supposed to be and clothed, with Bonnie out in her full-service massage parlour home biz. It was maybe 12:30 when that was done. I'm going to do binary tonight. Someone else at PMBD grabbed all of their stuff and said it was one of Geyldh's flannel shirt meshes for adult females, but that one is working fine for me and the crash happened when I switched to adult female outfits, not separates.

Someone else over there reported a problem with the Metal Postcards mesh...  Could it be that one?
