Title: Neighborhood population out of balance or what is happening? Post by: Cyron on 2009 July 19, 13:22:49 Hi,
I'm running awesomMod with "NoOneGetsOutAlive", "NoBusKills" and so on. I have the story mode enabled but all households I play with are "sacred" (about 50% of the population). Aging is turned off. So far for my game config. Yesterday I played several families in Sunset Valley. About 2 or 3 new familes have been created by the story engine. The size of te savegame exploded about 14Megs in just one day (which is 57.6MB total by now)! I have an idea about that but please don't hurt me if I'm wrong. Could it be that creating and moving in new families while not allowing to move out or kill "unsacred" Sims brings the population out of balance? I don't know, has EA implemented a population balancing system which is not working properly anymore due to awesomeMod? Title: Re: Neighborhood population out of balance or what is happening?

Post by: Fikcija on 2009 July 19, 16:19:36 Not sure if it fits under the "population out of balance", but I play with story progression on, aging on and "no one gets out alive", but families keep moving out until after two sim days of playing I'm left with 2-3 families, one of them being the one I'm playing and the other 1-2 the ones my sim happened to meet. So basically I'm left with an almost empty neighborhood and I said it in the buggedness thread but was ignored... Um, save files? I haven't saved actually. I just quit the game, triple-checked my config file, tried again and when it all happened once more I also didn't save. Off to try once more and save this time... Be back with a save file.
EDIT: Ok, false alarm here... I didn't think of deleting cache files and when I did it works properly now. Title: Re: Neighborhood population out of balance or what is happening?

(i.e., per the AwesomeMod instructions, I always delete scriptcache.package before installing or updating AwesomeMod, but I always wondered why) Title: Re: Neighborhood population out of balance or what is happening? Post by: Cyron on 2009 July 20, 19:02:34 @J.M.: Filesize of Sunset Valley yesterday: 58MB
Filesize of Sunset Valley today, with the actual version of awesomeMod: 44.2MB That's an absolute normal value. You sure have done a great job here, J.M.! :) Title: Re: Neighborhood population out of balance or what is happening? Post by: nekonoai on 2009 July 20, 19:40:12 EDIT: Ok, false alarm here...
