Title: New hoods - dangling SWAFs?, no letterbox respawn? Post by: witch on 2006 September 16, 05:48:43 I want to make a hood with different default names for Maxis sims. Last time I was paying attention, deleteallcharacters was a bad thing to do because it left dangling SWAFs.
I also read that the respawn the hood characters command, attached to the letterbox was a no no too, it was apparently broken. Jordi has a packege with different sim names at MTS2, but the initial 'create a hood' process won't use new names, it will only work for subsequent sims. I'm so sick of Ivys and Goopys, does anyone have any good news? I could just change the base hood sims' names manually, but I'm sure there must be a better way.

Pescado on 2006 September 16, 05:58:26 Delete all characters leaves dangling SWAFs, but that isn't "bad", it just means you have to go nuke the SWAFs afterwards in SimPE.

Then if I just leave notownieregen out for a bit, then hopefully I should get a hood full of Doc Doofus' face templates and Jordi's names.

Edit: Yup, that works. Make hood, DAC, clean up in SimPE, make sim, create townies, add subhoods. Goodbye Goopy. |
