But is it -at all- possible to make some kind of modification that made sims walk instead of going by taxi/owned car? As for their work, for example, since YA:s can "go" to class (which, in a way, is their scheduled job).

I used to think about this before, really, and now it's all brought up again.

Yes, yes, I know exactly what you mean, it was my first thought too. I remember my mother used to have a little steel brush for frying pans that looked very much like it.

Oh, I don't know... I think they did a great job, assuming this was what they were aiming for:

I know, and what Rohina said: pictures can't do it justice, although I tried my best:



(I took these pics over a week ago, planning on posting them here but I forgot all about it. I also have no idea what the hair is doing in my game since I did a complete wipe-out not too long ago and have been very picky about what goes into my DL folder after that, but I was rather amused when my sims went to this restaurant for the first time and met the waiter as seen above...)

I don't like Rose's stuff and rarely visit her site but I did so today and this hair literally made me ROFL.

I suppose it's some sort of anime/gaming character hair, I wouldn't know, but...

No, words fail me.

Oh yeah, I'd really want to have a new 'party' option on the phone - funeral! Sims that had known the deseased could make random speeches, and... Well, I don't know, but it would be awesome! I tried to have a funeral in my poverty challenge family once, with the black buffet table and everyone dressed in black but it wasn't quite right...

There's probably too much to hope for from upcoming 'Celebrations', I'm afraid... 

Back when we were stuck with the base game only someone, Carrigon I think, made a mod that produced rain (extracted from the game somehow) and I remember that sims reacted to the rain. Clearly, because I was shooting a movie and had to redo a scene because my sim actors started doing some "its raining" gestures and then rushed off the set into the nearest building...

Extremely helpful! I'll Ctrl+C this for future referense, thanks a lot!

Perhaps s/he means a shower-proof bodytype with a skintone? I think Melody9's 'slim family' on MTs2, as mentioned above, works that way. I used to have her 'Fat Family' and it cane with a showerproof skintone IIRC.

For those who aren't comfortable with fiddling in SimPE, Wes_h has updated with two additional versions now - less bright and even lesser bright! I took "less bright" and tried it out and it looks great. See pics below:

IMHO you can't rate something you haven't seen in game and tested, right? So rating when you're downloading is a no-no, and I can't arse myself to try and re-locate the download after I actually put in in my game, and tested/looked at it (which can take hours, days or even weeks) so no ratings from me. Or very, very rare ones.
Stories I rate, if I like them. I'm silly I guess, but I can't give low ratings to a stori, how bad I yet may think it is. I feel so sorry for the writer... 

I've been featured twice on MTS2, so I very much like to believe that the featuredness depends on OMG!!!!111how good I am!!11... 

But I thought I took Insim out..?

OK, my DL folder is obviously a total mess. Again. 

I have those things already...  When I click on any active sim I get an option that says something like "Show personal stats" and that popup appears. This is since Pets AFAIK. I thought it was a nifty feature from Maxis EA but now I guess it must be because of debug mode (via UserStartup)  Do I feel silly!

Oh, that's mine!
I think it's easy to play even though it's a large lot and it should be easy to customize for your needs too (tear walls down or put in new ). The terrain is fairly smooth as well. Do you think I've pimped it enough now?

Well, then I have no excuses for not trying! Thanks for telling me; I should have no problems keeping myself busy in the nearest future.

That's not enitrely true; her older hairs are not binned, but the newer ones are, at least the (supposedly) natural colours, I never care for or download the other ones so I wouldn't know.

I also want to add that I really - dammit! - must learn how to bin hair one of these days, and agree with that Pegggy's reds really are very, very terrible.

Could it be the drivers for your card?

My game used to hate the (then) newest drivers for my ATI card, causing everything to freeze after 20-30 minutes of play. I got an old version of an Omega driver which I use to this day and never had a problem.

I have an ATI card though, and know absolutely nothing about these things so you shouldn't pay too much attention to me, I'm probably just trying to confuse you

You're so right, thanks for correcting me (so others don't get as confused as myself...)

I think it was a Nightlife bug (or 'feature', depending on how you decide to look at it...).

TwoJeffs have a "no lottery move in" hack, dunno if it's updated for Pets yet though.

My friend's ghost dog scared one of her teenage sims to death. Now their ghosts are playing fetch together at night!

(Ghost doggie also digs holes. Sigh.)

I have only had one dog die on me so far. You can see the gravestone in the pic (the urn looked like a sim urn, but smaller, if I remember corectly).

No ghost dog yet. 



(Note how the other dogs are crying/howling. Aww. And how the now deseased Mr. Pugsley had time for a last piss before her passing away...)

I can't understand why that wasn't put into game in the first place; the teens need that option a lot more than the college kids IMO... I thought about it just the other night and actually checked the pie menu to see if it somehow had been added with one of the EP's, but no...

Aha, that's probably it! It never hit me that it happened when pets got promoted only, but when I think about it, so, yeah...

Glad I'm not the only one. Everything else is running ever so smoothly in spite of my not so high-end computer. But everytime it happens I always think the game froze and is ready to reboot...

Oh, and the razzle obsession is bloody annoying and will continue to be so until someone makes a hack to stop the insanity. What bothers me the most, though, are all those damn visitors who immediately after entering the lot walks up to the dogs and start pestering them...

I constantly find myself screaming: "Bite them already!"

At the screen. I'm stupid that way.

They don't seem to drink from the toilet. Now that's another disappointment. Everyone knows a dog likes to drink from the toilet. It would've looked funny ingame, too.

One picture is worth 1,000 words, they say... This proves it true.

The blank, stupid look on her face (naturally)... The dog... The puddle..!

Thank you; day less miserable now...

Oh, I can't wait!
