The social worker will come if a babysitter is on the lot.  I threw 7 toddlers on an empty lot, had the adult call the babysitter, then kept the adult away for a couple of days.  The babysitter stopped caring for the kids after the first two or three started crying. Every morning, I got a pop-up saying the babysitter needed to leave, but he never did.  Social services came after 3 days, I think.

Is a tux really the best choice to play sports in? And what's with the bare feet, I guess he thinks he's Shoeless Joe?

Hank is a sports legend.  Do they all go work in formal wear? I can't decide if I want to change it or not.

I have a pony (or eight). It would be Awesome if Pescado could mod them, though.

I'd like to request cleans own stall and auto changes, to start with.

Soon, you'll level up enough to upgrade your objects to self-cleaning, though. Surely, that is reward enough.

The name of this thread is not a lie! That is a most excellent helpful tip.

It seems obvious now, you'd think I would have hit on it when I was typing in all the variations on edit I could think of. So not awesome of me.


Thanks.

Is editme supposed to be gone from the latest version?  I tried it out and am getting an unknown command response.

I don't want to put this in the bug thread in case it's a feature.

The ATI problem with Civ IV was worse than the Nvidia problem with the Sims 2.

If I don't see a problem, it's not a problem  . I don't care if it's fixed officially or not, my game works. The newer drivers do work with the newer cards.  My card and my driver are about six months old.

I'm up to 4 1/2 gigs of CC, thanks to PMBD . Guess I better buy more RAM, it's easier than deleting all the stuff I hate.

 

Well, if you want the expensive solution... upgrade to a 7900gt, a 550 watt PSU, and add a gig of ram (2g total).

That's what it took to cure my Nvidia problem after OFB. I had a 6600gt running on a 300 w PSU so it wasn't all Nvidia's fault.

Grimalkin is Old English for cat (and is actually the name of former cat of mine). So, naturally, my game names a freaking *dog* Grimalkin.   My "yay" quickly turned to a D'oh!

Dang, old age is too kind for some of them. Stupid Maxis EA.

Try enabling testing chests and adding a death token (shift+click, select kill for those who don't know). Save, exit, and reenter.

 I haven't tried this on a pet but it works on toddlers...
 

I use SimCriwhatever defaults from MTS2.  I am finding them a bit revolting (mmm, greasy ) but I was really bored with my old ones from Helaene.  I like that there are options to make light really light or tan really tan if one wanted too and the skins have good facial detailing but yeah, everybody has a low level glow. Seems a bit Jelenedra, you know?

Intergrated graphics are crap . I really don't think you'd be very happy.  If I had to pick one, I'd go with whichever has the fastest processor (I am not familiar with AMD so I can't tell which is better).

I'm using a 7900GT and I love it  .  My 6600GT worked great until OFB and then it locked up and died (while I was playing Civ IV in a thunder storm, I must mention in all fairness ). I'd bump up to at least the new 7600.

I seem to remember reading that the sims2 can't take advantage of the dual cards but I don't remember where . Something about it being more CPU driven than GPU.

If you figure that one out, do tell. I've been having the same issue . 

There are several free objects that adjust fitness.

Way back in the day, I had a hack that increased fitness through gardening. I miss that hack.

Screaming starving toddlers are the best reason to play. It's even better when they are stinky, too. If only there was a slap interaction for toddlers and babies .

I think all those years of babysitting have ruined children for me .

I had a sim fight his toddler and lose. I think it's utterly hilarious .

They can only fly on normal walking paths. If a normal sim can't get there, neither can the vamp . Stupid Maxis.

Brynne, I have that same blush and also no idea where I got it. Maybe Simphora, which is closed now?  Or Daha Fashion, who went to TSR?

Well, I've married in all the townies I intend to for that hood. I've got 15 or so families with 8 or 9 surnames and except for the Legacy family, no more marrying townies. I think it will be interesting to watch how the features evolve  (or don't). I am up to my third generation, a personal record. Yes, I do have a short attent...

I guess I'm the mean one. I pruned them out of my Tricou family tree. 4 of them are grown up and married off.  Since their children need to be able to marry each other, it seemed prudent.  I believe it was just another wacky Maxis error that they ended up related.

Forget mucking around in SimPE, if you are hopeless with it like me. Grab Inge's teleporter bush, Carrigon's memory bottle, and the resurrect-a-mabob.  Pause the game, teleport the Tricou of choice to your lot, make them friends via the bottle and unpause the game. You'll get the pop-up saying the Tricou died on another lot. After that, use the resurrect-a-mabob to bring them back to life.

Use Alzip! It's completely free for private users, no nagging, no reminders, will handle zips and rars. Also, it has cute little animal icons .

I had John Burb dump Jennifer and marry Brandi. They seems very happy and have gorgeous kids.  The Burbs are worth plaing as Lucy turns out very pretty.
