Do you mean when you are using Power Idle, or anytime? My Sims always seem to chat when they are sitting at a table if their relationship is high, or they are family. I don't use Power Idle much, so I wouldn't know about their behaviour then.

Thanks, Inge. Now when I get K & B I'll be ready to go.

Description:
So here is my SelfSim! It actually looks just like me and I'm so happy, because my other SimSelves were true disaster


It "looks just like" her. Do you think she actually has the tatoos??

How can you build charisma without skill building objects or caged pets?

Thanks for the clues. I am soooo not awesome. I think someone in another thread said they were dangerously unawesome. Uhh, yeah.

Yeah, I was afraid of that. I was too lazy to clone them. I guess my next question is, what files do I save so I can recreate them when I burninate? It won't be a tragedy if I can't resurrect them, I don't have any trouble nuking my neighborhoods and beginning again. Funny, I don't like to have them die in-game, though.

Whenever I send my Sims to a community lot, I can't get them home. If I click on the phone booth, or try to get them to walk to another lot, the game goes into pause mode, and I cannot unpause. The save button is greyed out and the only way I can get back to the game is to exit to the neighborhood without saving. I only have MATY hacks and ACR in my game. I have all EPs. I am too unawesome to be on top of the details...for instance, it happened with a challenge sim from TSR before I installed Free Time, but I never tried with one of my regular families. Now it has happened with one of my regular sims. But, I did move my sims to a new neighborhood, so I suppose that could have borked them. I can still play, just can't have any useful time on community lots...can't save when I leave. Is there any hope of salvaging my neighborhood?

Not only am I boring, I guess, but brain dead too. What the hell is NatG?

Thanks, Tigerlilley. I have a chat client, just didn't know where to look! I did search about 18,000 channels.....anyway, I'm there! Thanks.

Where can I find your chat channel? I've been searching MATY for days, and only found a thread from 2005 that seems to be outdated. I hope I 'm not too N00b to learn the secret handshake....

Thanks. Will I lose the customizations? Will my game revert back to the Maxis neighborhoods?

I use Game Jackal to boot my games. I am so clueless, but I don't think that qualifies as a no-CD hack. I do plan on doing what I can to avoid SecuRom, however.

I am soooo unawesome.  I usually just lurk and learn. 

I used the tutorials on this site to combine my neighborhoods into one using clean neighborhoods. I have been playing successfully for months, no problem. (Thank you!) Now I am considering BV. If I just install it over my current set-up, will my game explode? I do know enough to back up my game before I install anything, and my hacks are all MATY. I also know to remove the hacks on a new install...(I have the all EPs including Seasons, and some stuff packs, not H&M or later.)

Please feel free to laugh and poke with sticks.
