Neighborhood Terrain Surgery is detailed in the War Room.

Interesting enough, I deleted all the cowplants and the tombstones immediately stopped spawning. I put the cowplants back and it spawned one more ownerless tombstone and didn't make another. I'm now feeding them dormies to see if the ownerless tombstones will start appearing again.

All together, I've made 70k from selling the tombstones. XD

I recently moved a large number of sims from 1 hood to another, it was easy (and done right)


1, move any sims you wish to keep onto 1 Lot (I was moving a few familys and didn't want them to lose their friends and family relations with the other familys, 1 lot takes care of that) (note you can backup your old hood first and then replace it with the backup after step 2, if you want)

2, Make a list of the names of Every Sim on the Lot and then package the Lot to a file

3, make new hood, install your packaged Lot - using clean installer and make sure you uncheck every sim that isn't on the Lot (so you won't get tagalongs)


4, plop it down where ever you want it and then exit

5, open the hood in simpe (with Theo's new nifty memory plugin already set up)

simpe - plugin directions
Plugins - Neighborhood Browser

pick your hood

then select (on the left)
Neighborhood/Memory (then select the neighborhood memory file on the right)

wait for it to do its loading thing

In plugin view - you will see down near the bottom (middle) "up" "down" "nuke all"  and below that(slightly to the right) "fix memorys" click it and it will fix all the memorys in that entire hood.

after clicking "fix memories" remember to hit "commit" (bottom right corner)
and then remember to "save" 


6, enter your new hood and play   
note - If you have more then 1 family on the Lot like I did then you need to move them out carefully (specially if you have more then 8 sims on the Lot like I did (thanks to that family size hack) I suggest having Inges teleporter plus, you can then have 1 sim move out and then move into a new home and then teleport (and move in) the rest of the family, repeat for each family.


easy and I have not had any trouble doing it this way, no extra character files or screwed up memorys and my familys all kept their relationsihips with friends and family

I agree that the hair at that site posted (Rose Sims) is very pretty, but I worry that it won't look good once it's in the game. 

Let's try a better contest: Who's the biggest miser here?

Uhh...lemme figure it out...

Prolly about $50 or so in the past month.

Actually, I think I've bought enough stuff in the past couple of weeks that I will not be buying anything else for my game for a good while.

Yeah, that site has a lot of nice looking hair.  Damn it.


I've got too many things happening in the next couple of weeks to afford any more downloads lol. 

Too many pages of memories will not "corrupt" a sim in the sense that the game will explode in a big fiery ball visible from space, but may start to manifest symptoms of bad memory access (Too Many Iterations resets) anytime the affected sim attempts to perform various memory-access functions. With TMI now requiring 10x as many interations as before, this may take awhile, and when it does, it should be easy enough to stop, for instance, modifying the actions to only check the first 150-odd memories. All in all, the problem is presently only theoretical, but the possibility exists. It is not, however, fatal and can be repaired if it manifests.

In theory, a maximum number of memory tokens may exist at around 30000. This is potentially reachable and at this point, bad things happen.

Avg. Shanghai salary is about the same. And, I mean, $10,000 is the avg. salary of the nouveau riche in China. If she gets just 100 people to fork out a subscription each month, that's about $12,000 a year. She's frigging rich by Chinese standards. And I'm betting that she gets more than just 100 subscriptions a month, judging by how ubiquitous her content is online.

And I get that this stuff does involve some investment of time and whatnot, but honestly, it's not that difficult - cutting and pasting and some smart image manipulation. If you have some talent, it comes out a bit better. Still stands that it's not that difficult. It doesn't sit well with me that doctors make less than she does. Maybe that's why healthcare is down the sh*thole over there. At least EA has developers developing code and whatnot. That's definitely a heck of a lot more involved than meshing or texturing. I can do meshing and textures, but I sure as hell can't develop complex AI code. And the code developing is bound to take a whole lot longer than a few hours fiddling w/ pictures.

So yeah, I have never, ever paid for a TS2 subscription, and I am definitely proud that I haven't.

The Manual writes this:

Vampires:

* Don't reflect in mirrors.

* can turn other sims to vampires with the Bite Neck social.

* Don't age; they remain in their current age group forever.

This is written about adult vampires. Until after college, the kids grow as usual.

You know, considering that she operates in China, and considering the US-Yuan exchange rate, and considering that the avg. Beijing family makes about $2,000 a yr, I'm betting she must make a fortune off of this game.

Meanwhile, there are tons of pple in China who can't even get a proper education b/c of money issues. Her stuff is good, and sometimes I'm *really* really tempted, but then I think of the utter waste it would be, funneling money into a game, when it could be put to better use, that I always stay my hand. Not that I have money to spare, anyways - college student and all that.

In my game all the new born alien kids are linked again after the patch. The aliens born before the patch are unlinked.

If you read my earlier posts in this thread, I mentioned Windkeeper releasing some of her TSR windows at MTS2 under special permission. Unless you're talking about someone else. (I asked her about it and she said they let her upload the windows on MTS2 since the majority of her downloads are still TSR only)

Yes, those items are not Featured Artists items .


It may be that the items were released on the other sites first and then later TSR. The FAs do not get paid for these downlaods, I believe.

well I just checked in my patched game and the PT does not show up in the family tree so for me atleast it didn't change.

The polli-tech replacement file I use is from laverwinkle and has normal size eyes and pointy ears and I'm happy with it 

Thank You  Jysudo.     I'm going over to look now.
