I believe I've gotten praise on non-schmoozy sims when they have a child who just made the honor roll.

Of course. 

*sigh* Why can't I leave well enough alone? Well I just updated to the new 9.7 drivers and now I'm getting graphical glitches and oddness. I'll have to play around and see if it enabled adaptive AA by default and if so disable it.

Apparently, she has her own tools. 

She also can't be arsed with elders or just generally doing things correctly, but maybe automating the process will get her off her lazy ass to do it.

Of course she won't actually be using this. She will be using her own tools uniquely developed especially for Peggy Zone. 

Please. Do you even have to wonder? I give her a week tops until she comes out with a 'donation' hair. I am sure all these sites are dying for more donations since TS2 is going the way of the dodo bird for the most part.

Funny thing is, I looked at the image for that new "free" hair on her front page and it said "Rosesims2" on it so for a second I thought it was TS2.

I've had several accidental deaths actually. Another happened while repairing the computer and got electrocuted, but luckily, the sim in question was unlucky.

One got electrocuted from repairing the damned trash compactor too.

You know, I strongly suspect this game was not well tested over long term with a lot of character entries ending up in the neighborhood. I've found by poking through the save that character entries seem to remain even if you get rid of those characters from your neighborhood.

I know TS2 starting having issues when the save file had lots and lots of character entries. With this game I seem to notice more issues in neighbors that I've played longer or mods (like Indie Stone) have moved tons and tons of sims into. I suspect there's a correlation. I guess time will tell.


It can always get worse! 

Cool. I will try it out.

You did mention a whole mess of kids at the school in the morning. Have you had any issues with the zergswarming to all get into the tiny rabbit hole at the same time?

I followed someone's suggestion in the other thread and edited one of the ini's to let the sims walk through each other.

Honestly Coconnor if you had 600 bogus clone entries PLUS all your sims in your neighborhood, even if you gassed them all, I have a suspicion that particular save file is already borked.

When called on it:

Okay then I am just going completely senile like the nannies. 

Still, I had less fires in years of playing TS2 than I have in one month of playing TS3.

Since Pescado's usage and modification policy is "meh" can you post your version or at least tell us how to modify ours?

I am sick and tired of my god damned neighborhood sims never going to work or school. 

  Well I am glad to know I am having a good sim life.

I had to have the danged nannies. Pescado even has a hidden incontinent trait so that works out just fine for them.

Ah that must be it. I think it's rare that everyone is asleep. And I admit since getting the damned moodlet manage my sims are addicted to it and have dispensed with sleep altogether.


Really? I think probably 75% of the town died when I did it.

And the first fire I had way back was quite by accident. child sim was sitting down sort of by the fireplace area but not right in front of it either doing his homework and granpa was helping him when suddenly they both catch on fire. Gramps got away with just being singed. The boy was not so lucky. I was thinking (like TS2) that kids couldn't die in this game. Wrong. 

If Pescado put cats in the game all of the BBS would hail him as their hero and build a statue to him.

Then they would ask for a pony.

Meh, screw that. I have the socialized energy xml mod from MTS.

I got tired of always feeling forced to use the same damned bed and sometimes that bed does not match the type of house I am building. Also, he has a good point that a bed doesn't make you magically sleep longer (or shorter).

The beds still will give positive or negative moodlets based on their comfort so a cheap bed will still give you a sore back.

I don't know Pescado, I am with Gus the amount of fires from fireplaces is way too overzealous and over the top. On the other hand, other things in the game, like being burglarized, is way too underrepresentated.

I have played this game a lot for over a month on a number of lots and family types. I have not had a single burglary yet I have had TONS of fires. It seems to be a common as breathing or going to the bathroom in sims land.

While you may enjoy fire and think it's a good thing because of your own personal just wanting to set the world on fire biases it really is annoying.

I like the warmth bonus but I won't touch a fireplace with a 10 foot pole, put any furniture near it or even have my sims go near it until I upgrade to fireproof and even doing that I need to get a sim who has mastered tinkering and has all the bonuses or guess what? They start a fire upgrading it. 

I have just been, pardon the pun, burned too many times.

I'd actually like to do the changing colors fireplace upgrade but I don't dare because while the fire may be pretty and ooh ahh colors, my sims will be singing Burning Down the House every day.

This was the best I could come up with. He still looks kind of doughy. I may do another version at some point when there's more custom content out there. We'll see.

I think the only custom content I used was the first jeans pattern from this page at Around The Sims 3 http://www.aroundthesims3.com/patterns/pattern_fabric_01.shtml

It's hard to tell though. If you install stuff the MTS/package way and not the Exchange/sims3pack way you don't get an icon next to your content letting you know it's custom and not default.

Oh and I used a familiar pattern for my PJ bottoms

Uh, call services. 

What tweaks would these be exactly? I would like to know because mine never take their asses to work. I don't want to play them all and I don't necessarily need to physically see them going to work or school, I just don't want them to have their performance constantly in the toilet and get fired all the damned time like they are doing right now.

So dumb that TSR made this pay. Ugh.

If you get a moment would you mind explaining the steps you use to do this? I tried alpha editing the shaggy male hair to raise the bangs so you could actually see their eyes (and so I might actually want to use it ) but I clearly did something wrong when I repackaged it because it crashed my game when I tried to select it in the CAS.

It's also like to make that male 'sticking up' hair less (or not at all!) sticking up. Then, again, I would actually use it as I don't now.

Oh you should probably repost the 'pineapple-less' hair either here in the first post below the bun one or else in its own thread. Several people have asked for it and I've directed them to your post in the SAU hair thread, but it's kind of buried.

@Tangie: If you don't want stasis then you can just set them to moving off. All the other things will still function as normal and I believe this only prevents the family from moving and not necessarily individual members if the situation warrants it.

But anyway, this is more an Indie Stone tip than an Awesomemod one.

Haha yes, they have been doing that in this community since TS1. People will constantly paint on bows and such like this that are utterly flat without a hint of depth. If you don't have a a mesh for it or at least a good bump map, then no. Some things a little shading will help, like body textures, but when you have something that requires significant depth it becomes readily apparent on the side profile that it's flat.

Okay see if these files work.

For the tops I used the first (one on the leftmost side) denim pattern from Around the Sims 3 http://www.aroundthesims3.com/patterns/pattern_fabric_01.shtml

You don't have it use it if you don't want and can just do solid white or another pattern, but I thought it gave the shirt a nice material look.

Let me know if the files don't work. This was sort of an experiment exporting clothing recolors via the CAS and then extracting a useable package file from the sims3pack.

It's kind of buried.
