Why not just try it.

[Motoki]

Has anyone used this with awesomemod/anything else?

http://modthesims.info/download.php?t=354748

I am curious to know how well it works. There are a few mods I'd like to try but they are core mods and as a result I cannot use them with awesomemod, but supposedly this will combine them. I figure Awesomemod is probably a hell of a lot more complex than the mods I'm looking at, so it'd be best to ask here about it and how well AM handles being combined with other core mods.

It is an old, old tool and really more of a proof of concept. Besides, RTFM or just the overview page on MTS. What part of "This tool will only be useful when (or if) modders agree in develop and distribute core mods in the expected format (dll + config xml)" do you not get?

If you had looked through the comments, you also would have seen that Pescado commented on it and why it is not feasible for him to tailor Awesomemod around this. Lastly, the creator also noted he compiled this tool with 1.2.7 version of the game which is many patches ago and over a year old.

Basically, you could try it if you insist, but yeah, good luck.

[Claeric]

Well that sucks. And pescado won't enable the functions from the other mods I'm looking at so I guess I'm out of luck.

[J. M. Pescado]

Which function are you trying to get?

[Claeric]

Male pregnancy, polygamy, and family relationships not inhibiting romantic socials, in particular.

All sorts of heathen stuff.

IIRC you are opposed to male pregnancy because people who choose to use it may not have male pregnancy morphs in their game and would get invisible sims, and I don't remember the explanation for the other two, but I know I've seen you shoot them down.

[J. M. Pescado]

Male pregnancy

Exists, if the pollination is performed by a third-party item at the Scienceworks, with proper simulation of the resulting chromosome sets.

polygamy

Can't exist without a major rewrite of how the game works at all: The basic pointer structure of the game would have to be written. People have tried to fake it with other things, but internally, this really screwed up your game. If you want a harem with concubine relationships, you're going to have to wait until TS3 is a finished product and such massive changes can be made.

and family relationships not inhibiting romantic socials, in particular.

That is in the queue. I am working on calculating the right procedurally generated deformities and the Inbred trait.

[Claeric]

Will the family thing include marriage as well as woohoo and kissing and such? How about inter-age interactions?

I want my sim to marry his adoptive son with which he is sexually active, please

[Simius]

Male pregnancy,

I've recently installed many of Twallan's mods and I just tested male pregnancy.  I was able to try for baby in bed and then one of the males became pregnant successfully.

So, you can at least try that.

[Motoki]

Male pregnancy

Exists, if the pollination is performed by a third-party item at the Scienceworks...

Which doesn't exist and at least one person attempted to do so but it seems it still didn't work. However Twallan's woohooer circumvents this and allows you to do it with normal woohooing on beds etc.

Wow, I won't even touch this one. I will just say that your request is very much a niche that I don't think would appeal to very many people, or at least very few would be willing to admit so publicly.

[Claeric]

People actually erupted in mass excitement when such things became possible for The Sims 2.

Except the whiny babies. They bitched about it.

[rohina]

My goodness, you are an unpleasant little man.

[friendlyquark]

Claeric, while I am normally very supportive of you and enjoy both Wraithlands and several other things you have done, you have supplied me now with just a wee bit too much information. I am going to go scrub out my brain with peroxide now.

Back on topic - Is the Wikki getting updated regularly, or do I just need to keep on top of this board for additional info? I keep finding new commands and Easter eggs mentioned places and I was wondering if anyone has a complete list (Besides our Lord and Master) ?

It truly is TMI and because he is socially retarded it completely goes over his head that people should generally keep their perverse little fetishes to themselves. In this case, sharing is not caring.

[Claeric]

While I would like inter-family relations to be possible and inter-age marriages as well, it was supposed to be a joke. I was just combining all the options.

Yeah, of course it was a joke. And I'm a little teapot, short and stout. Way to backpedal, creepy vole.

Thanks for volunteering. Yell if you need a wikki mod to unlock or lock anything for you.

[friendlyquark]

I assumed that "Do it your own damn self" would be a possible answer and have no problem with that. I will start compiling the bits that I have found and when I have something worth bugging you about, I will ask for an unlock so I can add them.

I'm trying to set a Martial Arts outfit for my sim, and followed the instructions I found by searching (make a new outfit in athletics, then type in outfitmv athletic.2 martialarts.1), except it's not working. A message pops up saying "MartialArts is not an acceptable category for age." The sim in question is a Young Adult. Has the command changed, or am I just doing it wrong?

[coltraz]

I want, and have been waiting some time for the incest aspect of Awesomemod too, because I want to try starting a neighbourhood with only 2 Sims and then slowly populate it. Impossible to do unless the siblings mate. I am excited for the realism of having an "inbred" trait and for Sims to be genetically and mentally malformed. I've said it before but I think it's worth mentioning again - as happy as I am that they will behave "inbred", I hope that over time and with the passing of generations, they become less and less fucked up.

[cwurts]

Why do they necessarily have to be siblings?

[lordrichter]

True.  You could have father and daughter or mother and son procreate to make the third generation.

[Zazazu]

Yeah...but it would still be considered an incestuous relationship by the game. And society, for that matter, though I suspect Coltraz is trying to simulate Genesis.

[coltraz]

Precisely, it doesn't matter WHO they procreate with, since everyone around will be immediate family.

I've been trying to add a 'Slave' trait since you mentioned that AM can support 3rd party traits, but have been unsuccessful.  In the process I was able to bork my game so no EA traits existed.  I went into editsim to check something out and the game made fun of me.  It only listed the 'stupid' trait that you added as being available.  Anyway, I was wondering if you'd be able to point me in the right direction on how to create my own trait.  Also, I imagine that you meant to have the stupid trait hidden in CAS.
