Oh, so that's what the problem is. The only co-joined lot I played was the Cho/Riley lot. I really should have played with it more before opening my yap about the issue.

Hurr durr, don't mind me.

Likewise, I don't see the point of the apartment feature if everyone has to be controlled separately. I wouldn't mind it so much if the other player houses were blacked-out and the Sims inactive, say for going to work or school, but they aren't. They're fully, er, conscious and going about doing stupid things. Perhaps I am just a control freak, but it bothers me a bit.

Perhaps, once I screw around with some throwaway Sims, I'll get over it or learn to live with it.

Like:

-Apartments. I always wanted them since I first got the game. These are great for Sims who just got out of college and CAS Sims.
-The ability to move paintings and such up and down the walls. This expansion is worth it for that alone.
-Shelves.
-Magic. I haven't done much with it, but I have a feeling I'll like it quite a bit.
-Vending machines. These will be useful for community lots.


Meh:

-Playground equipment. They are somewhat useful if the spawn have nothing else better to do, but otherwise they're a waste of space.


Dislike:

-The start-up music. It is too sleepy and slow, in my opinion. It may just be me, but I expect game music to be bouncy in some way.


Loathe:

-The fact that you cannot control ALL the families in an apartment, you just get to select one. Perhaps I wouldn't mind it if the other families are inactive while I am playing with one, but they aren't. I figure I could use the mind control mirror, but I worry that time is kept differently for each family, plus I could inadvertently do a VBT. I will have to test this out, but it simply irritates me to no end.

If I can't figure out a way to control all the families at the same time, then I'll have to restrict one family per apartment building.

According to some of the results of the Google search of SHeur (a direct search of SHeur.CILH didn't turn up anything), it could very well be a false positive. However, there is also this brief report on Microsoft's Malware Proection Center. Hmm.

This chum seems to have been around since 2006. Ether it decided to turn troll for the lulz, or it is one of those dense sheep who think that EAxis can do no wrong, and everyone else's complaints about SecuROM are part of one vast pirating conspiracy.

ETA:


Mass Effect only allows three installs. Good luck wasting them, you dit.

Man, there sure are a ton of shitty computers out there, then... especially odd since most of them gave no indication of being shitty before SecuROM. Could it be SecuROM's fault? ...Naaah, it's all your stoopid pirutez fault.


I feel rather strongly about buying current gen games. I bought every expansion pack up to Seasons. Once I heard the troubles SecuROM was giving others, however, I decided I rather not support a company that treats its customers like criminals. I have yet to have SecuROM on my computer, but I am not going to risk it, least my computer is too "shitty" to withstand a rootkit fucking around with it.

Do you have a cafeteria worker serving food, or is it pretty much self-serve? I am wondering how your dormies die off so easily. Sure, mine stink, piss themselves, pass out, and do everything else, but they don't die. I want to start a campus cemetery.

There is a way to "turn off" the witch look and keep it off, right? I want to teach my "psychic" Sims witchcraft and pretend it is PSI, but it kind of ruins my imagination if they all look like witches, or if I have to constantly keep the costume from showing up.

I have just finished downloading AL, but I am waiting until there are new and updated hacks before installing it.

I seem to be having a problem downloading your lot, Count Four. The zip file doesn't seem to want to extract correctly. Perhaps reupload it?

Either way, it looks nice. There is a lot of improvement from the original.

My suggestion is to check the comments and the amount of seeds a torrent has. Usually if a torrent is bad, people will post comments saying it is so. Go for the best, most seeded torrent. (note: If I am wrong about this, let me know) I also agree with others about Vitality.

I don't usually read Sim stories, but I sometimes stop by Sexy Sims 2, just to see if I can find some tacky sex stories. Usually, I am not disappointed.

Here's a sample: Cumming together: In the begging

Basically, it is a story about Cyd Roseland screwing numerous people, including his own son. How wonderful.

Notable pictures:

...why is there a baby object in the background?.
NWS: I don't know why, but I am very amused by the face the fireman is giving.
NWS: ...the hell.
NWS: Those breasts! Ugh!

Quotes:







They all die by fire, which is very deserving. Now doesn't that turn you on?

Is it alright to post stories from Sexy Sims 2? They require registration to see, but there are some terrible 'sex' stories that deserve P&L.

Oooo, that looks good. However, I don't see a download link anywhere.

Have you tried uninstalling everything completely (keeping a backup of the neighborhoods, downloads, lots, and everything else of importance, of course), then reinstalling from scratch? I have a feeling it may be due to an important game file corrupting, possibly during installation/patching.

I know it is the EAxian solution to everything, but it is the only thing I can think of that may resolve this.

I found K&B to be worth arrrr-ing, in my opinion. Then again, that's because I actually liked the kitchen sets. The bathroom sets, not so much.

I haven't bothered with TSS, mostly because I couldn't care less about teens. I will probably arrrr Ikea sooner or later. Some of the stuff looks good.

From the Pit of Despair, and from Atwa no less:


http://www.thesimsresource.com/downloads/sims2/sets/561568/

I don't know if she was trying to make a poorly-done jab at PMBD or what. It looks more like a bandit mask than something a pirate would wear, but when did Atwa ever make sense?

The background amuses me, if only to scoff at such a weak attempt at an 'insult.'

EDIT: Fixing typos and adding the URL.

Here's a story I found a few months back.

The Shea Family
Very tl;dr, but humorous. Here's the gist: woman has a ton of sex with this one guy and gets four kids, but the guy won't take care of them. She asks mom to help her, but mom FORCES her to be with him and be his "slave." Kids and mom get beaten up and abused. Mom moves away. Then suddenly, they all die of the plague. THE END LOL

Why the aversion to the Puppy Killer? If you just download the OBJ version, it doesn't affect anything. You just spawn the object to use it. It is pretty much a in-game SimPE.

Then again, perhaps I don't see the point of a hack like this, unless special actions are added along with the ability to tag kids as married.

If you have failed the challenge, doesn't that mean you're not keeping score anymore?

If insane largeness is what you're looking for, then Madisim has that covered and abused. Here is just a sample of his too damn big community lots. And all pay!







I wonder if Madisim can even play his own lots.

Here's something I found on TSR:



Terrible terrain-painting, terrible design, and lack of space if there was stuff in it. I hope this is suitable.

If you have produce garden, make sure there are not any broken sprinklers. It is sort of hard to tell, but having one immediately plunges Environment.

I am more horrified at the skin. Did someone dip the poor Sim in a tub of oil or something?

I've used it as well, but it seemed to have problems with GLS.

Also, the program itself is no longer being updated. The makers can no longer sell it, either. So much for that.

Why do people want any sort of custom content in their game? Besides, the "fat" version in the game is hardly fat, just a bigger belly.
