TS2: Burnination / The Podium / Re: Survey at Official Site

I'm glad they're booting people off who click on the TS1 eps. Hopefully that indicates that they are trying not to repeat ep ideas. I see too many "bring back Superstar" or "Unleashed 2" ideas floating around.
I took the survey. I voted for the Mystery one. That one sounded really cool.

I use the Grand Trianon loft and bunkbeds in almost all of my family homes. It's great for kids and teens who either share a room or have a room with not a lot of space. Tiggerypum has some cute recolors for girls and boys.

It's my favorite of the three so far and that's a bit disappointing because I wasn't gaga over it but at least it has something for every stage and adds more depth to interactions. I'd say it's worth more than buying OFB but the two work better together than separately. The inventory is god.

Ooh, thanks for the link, MissDoh. I've been looking for something like this. I like having my playable Sims as shoppers but hate that they don't get refunded in full (or at all, in the case of food). That Squinge is becoming my new best friend.  |

Yeah, the Lot Debugger was the first thing I tried and that didn't work for some reason. And I think I actually (accidentally) took her off permanent platinum status. It's a long story where the moral is that I'm stupid.
Is there any marker in Sim PE that I can simply check to get her back to permaplat?

After many nights running on the espresso machine to build up logic skills on the chess table, my Sim finally got to the top of the medical career and earned her lifetime want. Through a series of unfortunate events she lost the permaplat status almost as soon as she got it.
Is there any way to do it. I can't be bothered having her fulfill another LTW the regular way, she's not even in my top 20 list of favorite Sims and I only her family because I have to play all the lots.

As of right now...*checks* 5.36 gb and 19,803 files.
It takes me about 10,11 minutes to go from cd tray to actually playing a house. I plan to prune it down to 3 gigs hopefully before the next ep comes out. Hopefully.

I've got only one townie left in the main 'hood. She seems to keep only the last 3 items of whatever she bought. Her memory panel in SimPE also shows 3 items only. All my sims currently only own home businesses though. I've been keeping the businesses alive by selling stuffs to the NPCs that came with NL too, and they also appear to only keep 3 items.  Same here. Just married a long-time townie who has bought probably up to 100 items and when she moved in, she only had two cakes and a cell phone (aka, the last three items she bought). |

Yes, they were extremely annoying in Unleashed and really didn't do all that much that was of interest but I'd like to see pets make a return (even though we all know they will). With the new 3d engine and expanded gameplay, they could do a lot more with them. They probably won't but they could. As long as pets isn't the main focus and there are no uninvited strays this time, I'll buy it.

Now, THAT is something I cannot comment on, having no experienced it myself. I can say that discreetly or non discreetly, no woman should ever be told to leave for feeding their children.
Tell that to Starbucks. Apparently the people running the empire were all brought up on the bottle, which probably explains their dour attitudes.  |

Does this comply with the 9-day cut off or override it (9-day cut-off being that your Sim's business stops making money after 9 days if they haven't been into the business since)?

Breast is Best <== I own a t-shirt that says that. It's such a shame the way people look at it in the U.S. I was breastfed until I was 2! Poor Mom.  But I'm big and strong like a Mongolian with a super immune system. Also kids who are breastfed longer have higher IQs.  |

I'm glad Maxis didn't release it. If it's Maxis, it's glitchy and the last thing I would want is a glitch where the mother gets stuck in the action and she spends the rest of the day with a baby attached to her tit.  Hell, I get that now! (Sorry the pic is so big, but I'm at work and I can't adjust it here) Haha, I knew it would happen! |

On the topic of annoying creators, I left a passing post on MTS2 on some celeb sim, saying that the sim was pretty but dissimiliar to the celebrity, and then the creator swoops on me and announces that her work is "objectively" good. Someone has quite a big head...
Gasp! A big head? From a Sims creator? But they're all so humble, caring more about freely sharing their works than credit to their name. Clearly you must be talking about some other game. The quote from Christianluv wasn't mean, just flip and rather pompous, but then again so is just about everyone else who makes just about anything on MTS2 or any major popular Sims 2 download site. If I based who I downloaded what from on their humility or whether or not their attitude pissed me off, my downloads folder would be sparse. I don't have to socialize with these people, I just click and go. |

It's in the adult section for the same reason the Sims don't pull their pants down when they pee even though there is a censor. Naughty bits are naughty bits, says the ESRB and angry Christian soccer moms of America, no matter whose food supplier they may be. I'm glad Maxis didn't release it. If it's Maxis, it's glitchy and the last thing I would want is a glitch where the mother gets stuck in the action and she spends the rest of the day with a baby attached to her tit. |

The restocking isn't a problem. What I want to know is how he has managed to own more than one Level 10 business by just having his Sim sit on his ass and do nothing. Or rather, what hacks are in play?

Actually, I laughed at this when I read it (but then again, I have a mean sense of humor). Classic example of bad customer service.
Sorry, non-native speakers get a lot of slack but that "answer" to the question is flippant in any language. A simple "my hack isn't the cause of your problems" would have sufficed. Unless he's Finnish, then I guess I can cut him some slack.
I remember downloading that hack but I took it out because I never used it and so never saw the point. Glad it didn't coincidentally crash my game and I didn't have to go back on the thread to report it.

How is the check-in sum calculated, I wonder? Is it based on the previous day's take or something else?
I'm not sure about the check-in sum, but I've been playing with the remote income variables for too long  the remote income calculation is based off the average of the last five sessions worked. So. If you work five days a week at eight hours a day equalling 40 hours (those are your five sessions) and you brought in 40,000.00, you earned approximately 1,000/hour. Your business -should- bring in about 8,000 daily as the initial calculation. That said, if you work five days straight (Mon-Fri), try to bring in as MUCH as you can during those five days, and your remote calculation will be higher. It's uncertain whether the money perks factor into this - I'll have to test it further to find out. Check in sum is equal to 100% of the calculated income, based on on a 40-hour work week (completely disregarding any sort of sweatshop-like business our Simmies might run), but if you don't check in, the most you will get is 50% and then it decreases by 20% I think, every day after that until you are left with empty pockets and your children wondering why mommy/daddy is a failure. UNTIL NOW! The hack's been working fine for me for the way too many hours I have been playing. So far, no income decay as long as I check in. Update:I forgot to ask if the hack overrides the 9-day cut-off for making money off remote management. I've only played for 3 days so I haven't come to this yet. Also, any chance of making a rider hack that allows for no decay without checking in? I'm not lazy. Updated again: Here's a pretty thorough breakdown of remote management/income decay from the Prima Guide on the BBS http://bbs.thesims2.ea.com/community/bbs/messages.php?&openItemID=item.103,root.1,item.43,item.41,item.23&threadID=4eec85e5bff0e364d23758af994a7f45&directoryID=103&startRow=1#ae47e2808d594c40787a65d2f91ab670 |

Attention all download addicts. I will surely be called an "enabler" for this.... I found this awesome new extension for firefox that makes downloading a snap!. https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=201&application=firefoxIf you are like me and insist on downloading a picture for every download (and if you are not, you should start, it makes things SO much easier), you know how tiresome right-click, save as, becomes. DownThemAll presents you with two tabs, one for linked files and one for embedded pictures. You can select with a checkmark all zipped files, and/or all picture files. It makes selecting a snap. For some sites, that just link their files, it's a snap to select all the pictures and files in one go. For some other sites, like MTS2, that use java script for their downloads, it's still very useful, because the pictures are just linked and you can download them all with a few clicks, instead of having to click on a picture. wait. wait. wait. Right click, save as....rinse and repeat. And last but certainly not least....it downloads like greased lighting. I'm sold. If this app would cost money, I'd pay for it. What do you mean by downloading a picture for every download? Using a picture of what you are downloading as an icon? I'm slow.  |
