Electing the Slapper?

[chintznibbles]

So, I recently decided to make my own neighborhood from scratch for the first time... Previously, I'd just modified Strangetown or Pleasantville to suit my (highly evil) needs, but since I reinstalled with OFB I figured I'd make a go of it.  I downloaded a bunch of houses, made a few more for good measure, set the whole thing up with a crop of sims, and it was looking good, until I bought one of my sims a telescope.  Delighted, she immediately began looking through it, apparently scoping out the neighbors, which I more or less didn't think about.

Two minutes and one logic point later, her best friend suddenly shows up on the lot and slaps her for peeping, or whatever the point of that ridiculous interaction is supposed to be.  I guess I just got used to there being a given slapper in a neighborhood that was that one sim that literally nobody likes, but having to deal with this situation is a little bit irksome.  It does make sense that the sim in question would be slappy- she's pretty dominant and has a nice score of 2, but... still. ;p

Any way I can force this role onto some ugly hermit-like sim that nobody cares about anyway?  It's kind of nice having someone to sneer at in community lots, after all. =p

I've seen a "no slapping from look-through" hack around somewhere, but now that I'm looking for it I can't seem to locate it.  Plus, I have no idea if it works on OFB, so... help me out here.

Was that best friend sim by any chance the first one you created in the neighborhood? I know that previous to OFB, at least, the first non-townie sim created in the neighborhood was the designated slapper. I wouldn't be surprised if it hasn't changed.

Damn - I thought you were talking about some bald guy.  No wait, that's slaphead.  Or did I mean some frowsty old trollop with too much make up?

[Motoki]

That's what I was thinking lol. Isn't slapper British or Australian for a tart or a whore?

The hack you are looking for was made by twojeffs and it is OFB compatible, you can find it here:  http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php?topic=1189.0

EDIT:  Normally one of the members of the 1st family you will place in a new hood will take place as the shover.  So be careful which family you place in 1st

Uhuh, Frowsty Old Trollop with too much Make Up = Old Whore

(well, if you're being mean, that is, and I'm always mean)

i was going to elect Brandi Broke (at least, she's my games slapper) but then realised my translation of slapper, being a Brit, got a bit warped

My town slapper has changed since installing OFB. I used to have two slappers, one from the base neighborhood, and one from downtown.

Now it's one of my vampires who should really be in her coffin during the day. Maybe I should take TJ slapping mod out, and see what happens when she comes over to slap.

Pleasant View it defaults to Mortimer I think.

Yea, it did in my game, and then John Burb became the slapper when Morti died.

Yes.

The thought of John Burb being the neighbourhood slapper is one almost too disturbing to contemplate.

LOL from that description it sounds like the type of women who go on the Jerry Springer show, basically skanky white trash hoochies.

spot on

[chintznibbles]

Wow, I had no idea the term had such... rich cultural meaning to it.

Thanks for the info and the hack, it has solved my problems for the most part. :p

That description sounds like a good number of the sims in my neighborhood also.

When I created my new hood, I intentionally made the first sim as the town preacher. It somehow seems appropriate to have the preacher come over and lecture the peeping Toms. So far, he hasn't slapped or shoved anyone. Since he is the preacher, I gave him high nice points and made him a family sim. He just does a lot of pointing and lecturing.

This is inspired--designating your town 'slapper' as a sanctimonious, pontificating preacher...art, imitating life, eh?

For some reason, my self Sim is my neighborhood's town slapper.
