ingeli - You have to do forcemovein from the edit town menu. If you do it from the main game you will force out your family and move the homeless in there. I learned that the hard way.

Your supercomputer allowed me to set a family relationship that the debug commands would not. You and Buzzler have allowed me to pollinate my neighborhood to replace the dying elders. Now this will allow me to do even more evil good in my game. I think you read my mind earlier today when I was wishing for this.

I've recently installed this and it is helping so much. My hood has been aging up, partly due to my having a heartbreaker sim this generation. I think he caused too many broken hearts so there are a bunch of single sims who are not romancing.
I had 124 sims, and 51 are elders. There were about 25 each ya and adult, rest kids. In order to get a jump on the next generation, I have been running around when ASM gives me a romance notice and using Twallan's pollinator on a victim. This makes it easier to do that. I bumped my BF up to about 2 right now, it should come down as the kids age up.
I'll let you know how the hood turns out.

Or, as orange is trying to say nicely, do a fucking search as this has been addressed in this very forum.

This is not a free country. This is MATY. Learn how to capitalize and punctuate or go the fuck away.

Yep, you're a horrible searcher.

You have three choices:
1 - ctrl-shift-c to open command window, type "setconfig <option> true" to set it up (use "showconfig" to get the exact names of what you want to change).
2 - click the link for the downloadable config manager on the AM page, make your adjustments, download and put in your mods folder
3 - learn to search better

Actually, you have 2 choices. 3 is not optional.

That's all that twallan's Kinsey scale shows - how many sims have positive values for attraction. The vast majority will be 0 or 4 due to the +2/-1 that occurs with each interaction. I have maybe 3 sims that I have had flirt with both sexes and they have scores of either 1 or 3 as they have positive values for attraction to both sexes.

If you have testing cheats enabled and debug commands enabled (I have them on all the time, set by config in AM) you can cheat a marriage. I have only had this happen when the house is at 8 and the game won't let me add in a new sim, even though I have overstuffed houses allowed. This is what I do:

- Get to the point where I can do the propose going steady interaction
- Ctrl-shift-click on the target sim and set relationship to fiancee (or if you want to skip the wedding step, select spouse).
- When I decide that it's time for them to get married, I shift-click on the target sim and add to household
- Marry will come up romance options as normal

Here's how I would do the workaround:
- Find the hidden traits. The fastest way to do that would be using Twallan's supercomputer, list sim by traits, figure out what hidden traits there are. I don't know of any for paperboy/girl. I found all the rockers, burglars and more in town this way. You may have to switch to another house to get her to show up in the list.
- Go to editsim, change the age back to teen
- Back in game, use CTRL-SHIFT-click to age up to YA
- Use CTRL-SHIFT-click to adjust regular traits
- Use addtrait to add any missing hidden traits

Again, I have not seen any hidden traits associated with paperboys/girls. This should work with any other hidden traits. Good luck!

Most of the losers I've met in my life - and as I live in Vegas, I have met many - are partnered. Losers should be partnered with Hopeless Romantics (so the HR can spend all his/her time trying to "fix" the Loser), Unlucky or other Losers. Now THAT would emulate life.

I haven't gotten the "rename" function to give more than 2 names. If you have Twallan's supercomputer (see pudding factory), there is a rename option where you can choose the first and last names separately.

Look to the right of the camera controls, there is a small house icon. That took me a good month of game play to find.

My one gay sim showed as +176 for male and -88 for female. He has done no romantic opposite-sex interactions. I'm wondering why the male was exactly twice the female number.

In other NRaas news, I love the option on the computer to select the orientation so I can just invite the ones over I want, or just the ones I want to change around a bit. Combining these two objects has made my neighborhood much more diverse.

In TS3 females can get pregnant up to the last day of adulthood. You could have just kept her pregnant all the time, just knock her up the same day she gives birth. Get Twallan's pollinator and you can just do it with a click if you want. I kept one sim at day 0 to aging for about 5 pregnancies that way.

Enable debug commands, ctrl-shift-click on the desired sim and select "die by" (might be "kill by" but the command makes sense). Or use Twallan's supercomputer in the pudding factory as it has a "kill sim" interaction.

This is EAxian in nature - poor genetic mixing. I'm on the 5th generation of one family. I've married in handymen, maids, firemen, townies and more. Every single female looks the same, just with different hair colors. I have some more variation in the males. I have a portrait of each person and I have to do the "view" action to tell who it is because they all look so alike.

I've changed about 5 sims' ages when IS set up an elder with a YA. I reset the elders to dult. No issues have occurred so far. Use "editsim <sim name>"

I saw a list like this over at boolprop. As you said, there is a random element. I know that some of the listed LTWs and associated traits are not complete. I may try to do my own mapping or get under the hood to see if there is something that I can find in the XML.
I've been randomizing my traits and I've had options to get most, if not all, LTWs by the 5th generation. I'm averaging about 5-6 kids per generation. Snob is good to get the money wishes, especially gold digger, which is the only time I have had that come up.

If you are "in the bubble" - the part above the choke point - then you skill faster. Aaroc did a study of this you can find elsewhere in Facts and Stategery.

The trait I have come to hate is Snob. I have 3 snobs in this current family (rolling for traits, no rerolls, ugh) and I had to kill one off because all the constant "gussy up" and "check self out" interactions slowed down her skilling. It would be 4 in the afternoon before she would allow SC to get her ass to the easel to paint. The next 2 snobs are toddlers, and they will get booted or killed as soon as I get fed up with them. I have to say the Neurotic is hands-down the best if you want to push a sim thru a career using "work hard."

Pools definitely don't kill in TS3 - the Sims can climb out on the sides. Drag the energy bar to zero while in the pool, maybe?
I just killed off an annoying Sim by dragging her food bar to zero. Instant death. I got sick of her doing the "gussy up" and "check self out" when I told her to paint. Plus, I needed the bed.

Nah, it's a simple door that you can lock in different ways. The "hall of ancestors" is just a funny way for me to make a room to serve 2 functions - store portraits and store urns. The lockable door just allows me to keep the ghosts in there without having to make a door in build mode every time I want to send someone in to mourn or view paintings or something.

There's a lockable door over at MTS. Use that door to the kitchen and the ghosts won't be able to go there. Or do what I'm in the process of doing - create a "hall of ancestors". Make a room for the ghosts and put their portrait on the wall with the urn on a table underneath it. Make sure the only entrance to the room is a lockable door. It keeps the ghosts on the property, allows me to fulfill "see a ghost" want easily, and yet keeps the ghosts contained. I used to lock them in a fenced-in area with a foosball table for company.

I'm on OSX and running 1.4 with AM - no problem. I had to use enablescripterror before, and remove it from this config.

Patched this AM. Played about 3 hours, no problems. On a Mac with digital download so I never patched to 1.3.

I agree with the idea that TS3 was broken upon release. I can't compare to TS2 as I never played that one.

First problem -  I was at Best Buy getting some cables or something and they had it at the register. I failed my saving throw and bought it. The DVD would not read in my computer. Went online and found a bunch of the same complaints. I returned the disk and bought the digital download version. This was a major complaint for the release.

Second problem - Story mode as written didn't work and EAxis admitted it. Once it was on it was always on with no way to turn it off. I lost several friends to move out. I found out about MATY from the BBS, downloaded AwesomeMod, and have never looked back. Without AM I would have stopped playing the game within about a week or so.

Third problem - (alright, not a release issue, just an EAxis one) - I could not update to 1.3 due to the Mac digital download not being available. So, I'm running 1.2 and old AM. When I get home I'll get to see if I can update to 1.4.
