I see that you are not a lawyer.

There's a lot that's dubious about this, though. The most important, which is what Pescado was getting at by mentioning nobody wants to fight it in court, is that such EULAs have never actually been tested, so it's unclear whether EA can actually legally do that. As of right now, there's basically zero law on the subject, EA just SAYS they can own everything made using the game, and nobody has said they can't. You can think of certain problems with this that would obviously have to go to court if it came up, such as... SimPE is one of those third-party programs, not game content itself, and what's-his-face who makes it COULD put in an EULA stipulating that everything made with it is the property of Inge. This would be just as valid as EA's EULA, so which one wins? You might easily say, well, EA made the actual engine this is all running on, of which SimPE is just a functional appendage, so EA's EULA takes over in the end... but that's something for a court to decide, which has never happened yet. In common-law jurisdictions, the law is only ever what a court says it is, and when a court hasn't spoken, all you can do is speculate. EA's claim of ownership is simply unproven at this point. However, PMBD operates on the assumption that such EULA is actually enforceable, for convenience.

Wrong question. Neither party owns it. Nobody owns a bunch of numbers. It's possible for someone to own a copyright interest in it, which is enforceable only in certain jurisdictions.

It wouldn't crash your game regardless. All the code in the mod is still accessible, so even if it did somehow trigger something from that feature (which I doubt), it would work fine. You can infer this from the fact that people used to complain that awesomemod gave their pedo sims the pedo trait even when they used other pedo mods instead.

You found a bug in SMF, though, that's neat.

That is the answer that I expected, for the record. I was planning to say more, not just totally leave you hanging with my useless response like that... but then I lost power for days.

Pescado used to call the process mentioned in item 3, of counting up to overflowing the NID slot, "certain 16-bit doom". I liked that phrase so I wanted to make sure it was mentioned.

I know the correct answer to your question, but what I really want to say is lol

After checking the package contents and double-checking in game, I can absolutely confirm that the full trait names are actually ChosenSacred and RadarTagged. I apologize for my earlier incomplete information which was based on something Pescado actually said, but I guess he was being terse in describing the names.

I'm not a stranger, I'm tsen. Well, Pescado changed my username, but still. I'm not a stranger, I've been here for like 13 years! Anyway, I'm not clear on what effect it has on that - do they need to HAVE boats to spawn boats that way? If so, not having boats would prevent this (if you take away their boats). But if not, no, it probably has no effect.

For the record, I was using that exact document as a source since I have it from you in your TS3 director's cut.

PROBABLY none of those things should matter, excepting possibly the last one: If you have the steam version, definitely don't use the steam version, since it may or may not change something awesomemod needs, like potentially how traits are defined or something like that.

It may simply be unimplemented/unfinished and I've asked about it already, so I'll let you know if I hear back, but, in principle, you should be able to add the option to the internal XML file in aweconf.package, if you know how to do that.

Update: Pescado says that it is implemented, and that what it does is stops free boats from spawning in sim inventories so they have to pay for them properly. He doesn't seem to recall why it's not in the config tool.

Update update:
17:40 <@Pescado> Okay, there, I fixed it.
17:40 <@Pescado> The server didn't have the latest aweconf file so the page script wasn't
                 listing it.
17:41 <@Pescado> The config option made it so sims don't get free boats outside of the
                 Boat World.
17:41 <@Pescado> Default game, apparently, gave every sim, everywhere, regardless, a free
                 boat that they didn't need.
17:42 <@Pescado> AwesomeMod changes that so they only receive the boat in the boat
                 Neighborhood, because that's the boat world.

Can you add, uh... "incontinent", "pedobait", "narcolepsy", or "tealdeer"? If none of those work (disclaimer: I'm not sure whether any of them might have been removed, because some of the traits were never fully implemented, although I think those all were) then you probably don't have any of the Awesomemod traits, and you should check your config first and then check for possible trait list conflicts.
I actually think there's a command you can use to list traits, but I'm not sure what it is. Try "traitinfo"? That might just be for info on specific traits though. (You should still use it to test out specific traits to see if that might give more useful information.)
If one or more of those DO work, then you have at least some Awesomemod traits, but you might be missing the Administrative traits (which is what sacred and radar are) in particular. I've asked Pescado if there are any others that you can try to confirm; I'll let you know.

Just to be totally sure, try using addtrait on a basegame trait you know exists, too, to make sure it isn't trait-adding that's broken somehow.

(And, to be clear, it's definitely "sacred" and not "blessed", that one I have seen in the game specifically.)

The trait for sacred is 'sacred'. It looks like the trait for radar is 'radar', but I didn't confirm that in game or by looking in the package. The command actually just applies the trait, so it's exactly the same - doing it for the whole household just means applying the trait to everyone in the household. Well, I guess it's possible it could be doing something extra I don't know about - ask Pescado.

For the record, witch's advice here is completely unrelated to anything that could reasonably be the problem.

Can you add traits to the sims using the command?

Can you add those specific traits to sims using the command?

The houses are households the active sim knows. Orange (that's orange) tags with sim faces are missions. Under certain circumstances the tags may also be red (low-detail mode, I forget what this ultimately means) or yellow (sacred). I've never seen them blue.

Recommended solution: Take OCD meds and find something better to rub off to because the game implements random variation, like in real life. What kind of creep looks at sims' faces that closely anyway? I bet you crane up within two inches of people's noses on the street too. Besides, in your pictures, the kids look just as ugly as the parents. This just seems like something only terrible people care about.

Procedural question: Is the Judgy Judge's job to judge the perceived judginess of the lot? If not, why not? It ought to be.

While she was definitely wrong to claim that "double-glazed" was in error, she's not wrong when she calls it "double-paned". Perhaps it's a regional thing, but I see that far more often, and google certainly believes it's a real thing.

Not that I mean to imply that google is a scholarly source, of course.

You'd be surprised how unfavourably it compares. The data I was able to gather suggests that 1kg of wood produces on average approximately 1900W when burned in just a normal, non-clean-burning fireplace. A typical solar panel may produce as much as 200W per square metre in ideal conditions. Unless you are getting 24-hour direct equatorial sunlight somehow, it's pretty obvious which one is more efficient and cost-effective. For some reason people always remember that the sun is an enormous ball of ridiculously hot plasma, and forget the little glitch that the intensity of sunlight is basically jack shit by the time it gets here, and on top of that we can only manage to harness a tiny fraction of it.

If you are going to whine about "eco-friendly", at least know what that MEANS first. Besides, no sim house will ever manage to approach real-world standards of environmental stability until you can make a nuclear pile. :D

... you know "less" isn't a verb, right? It didn't occur to you to choose a topic subject which is a little less grammatically cocktarded? I mean, how much harder is it to type, say, "reduce"? This is not rocket science.

Goatfucker, are you trolling or just really stupid?

I dunno, cwuntz has a point - after all, the paradigm for sequels among commercial games is "this game, but more so" - generally some kind of generically new content is added, because otherwise it's hard to justify making a completely new game, but the major changes are all minor tweaks to the fundamental concept. Certain things which were problematic in the first game get adjusted to better suit the players, new features are added to improve the "depth" of gameplay, but it's still fundamentally the same game. Sometimes independent developers - especially those offering the games for free - will make major changes and tie the new game to the previous one only in terms of storyline, but it makes sense that companies like EA wouldn't kill the goose that lays the golden eggs, no? Still, by this definition, TS3 is a sequel, which is exactly what it's supposed to be, so I have no idea what he's whining about.

But no, an emulator isn't a remake; an emulator is more like "digitally remastered on DVD" and the like. A remake is... still called a remake - they are rarer in the video game world, but they do exist; the version of MULE that was played as a #grah game for a bit was a remake of the original, for example.

It didn't occur to you to put this in the thread called 'The "Where Can I Find This CC?" Thread - Because you fail at Google'?

I am conflicted: On the one hand, my IQ higher than 4 permits me (alone, apparently) to understand what Claeric actually originally meant (and you people accuse me of not getting sarcasm?), but, on the other hand, god DAMN that latest post was retarded.
Maybe Claeric should date Hook.

Ummm, you do know it only takes one, right?... OK, apparently not.
It only takes one.
Since you are clearly functionally retarded, I will provide a further hint: Start at the thread titled, quite prominently, "New Patch 1.15/2.10/3.6/4.3" and work from there.

ETA:Discredited trope. My life is awesome, I'm just a sociopath. Does it hurt to be that stupid?
