I always forget about InSimenator. I hardly ever go there. I might wander over to an actual request forum and ask. Thanks! Btw, since posting this, I found a beautiful set of meshes in the Alchemy Lab set from CaravanShopSims2.net. If only they functioned. Anyway, thanks again for pointing me in a more productive direction.

I had found the Cauldran. It hasn't been updated to include the potions from Pets or Seasons although it does still function. The look isn't what I was wanting. Nor the brewable potions really very useful in the non-HarryPotter 'verse. Aaand the rate of learning the skill was way too fast. I mean I'm not picky or anything... Thanks though for pointing it out. I might just be forced to use it anyway.

Mmm... I'm not terribly familiar with the modding community or where to go to make requests. I'm pretty particular about the source of my hacks and use as few non-awesome ones as I can get away with. So, when I couldn't find what I was looking for I hoped this would be an acceptable place to ask. What I'm interested in is a craftable potions station. I'm well aware of the buyable potions mods out there, but I really prefer to make my sims work for things. If this isn't the place for requests of this nature but someone could point me in the right direction that would be appreciated as well. Thank you.

ack! What happened to the list of families in the neighborhood with the number of days each has played?

hmmm... it poked through the floor in my game... though I haven't tried in a while. maybe its changed since then? worth a shot I suppose.

and Rainbow while I agree I love the morphability of twojeff's ACR controller I didn't want to ask for anything that elaborate from J.M. I thought the plain "placeholder" box was asking a lot as it was! *laughs*

Edit: I just this minute checked and it definitely still sticks up through the floor in my game.

I know its been asked before and I don't mean to be a nuisance. Its just that I was playing last night and again this bugged me. Is there any way possible this could be remeshed into something smaller? I'd actually prefer the plain square box like Macro and the Debugger to this huge neon green fits into none of my houses monstrosity. Those at least I can hide under the foundation or under a bed. Its not that I'm ungrateful. I use this item in every one of my houses after all. I thought it might hurt a little to ask but figured I'd give it a shot anyway.

Coral and Herb Oldie has this going on in my game after adding noinstantlove. I think it has to do with the fact that Coral is a family sim and Herb is a romance sim and those just aren't compatible. Herb falls for Coral alright but Coral just never get the little hearts. They manage to get through the day to day marriage type things ok but I suppose maybe that's just Coral being traditional and sticking by the man she married even if he turned out not to be all she hoped for.

If your sim had bought him dinner would you have expected him to casual woohoo? *laughs* sorry I couldn't resist. The whole "can I buy you a drink?" "sure, thanks for the drink *walks away*" scenerio just amused me too much. ~.^

removing Echo's community sleep mod fixed the problem for me.

I made a brothel a long time back. All my 'girls' were skin-job servos. No worries about pregnancy that way. Less needs to worry about as well.

Oh, its here its here! I've been looking forward to downloading this. So, when's the next one coming huh huh when wheeeeen? Oh and happy birthday yesterday. ^.^

Gee. You mean the sim was trying to repair it because it was broken? I wonder how I managed to miss that connection. Thanks for your pearl of wisdom there. Come on, J.M., as I had already stated the actions would have made perfect sense if the sim in question was controllable. However, seeing as how the sim was visiting the lot it caused problems. Its not like I gave them only a single non-functional toilet by plan. It just happened to be clogged right before the pregnant sim finished a conversation and was thus standing idle and nabbed by the BUY. I attempted to call the pregnant sim away from the task hoping to break the cycle but to no avail. A more convenient way of dealing with the problem would have been to not allow visitors to attempt repairs in the first place. God knows I wouldn't try and unclog my neighbors' toilet but would politely excuse myself and head home. Hmm. Which by my way of thinking is in fact another choice.

I just had a visiting neighbor get snagged by BUY to repair a clogged toilet. The visitor was pregnant and was about to pee on the floor but kept trying to repair the toilet instead of using it. I used the testingCheatsEnabled to cancel out the BUY loop and instruct her to actually use the toilet and then deselected her. She didn't go back to trying to unclog the toilet after that. It would have been pretty "logical" behavior if it had been a household member, but since it was an uncontrollable I found it annoying.

And for something non-sex related too!

I've never seen John having the hots or any wants for Brandi or vice versa at all. *shrugs* Then again I always hook up Brandi with Gordon King. I forget how many bolts they have, since I don't really pay much attention to those, but its at least a couple I believe. Gordon is a knowledge sim which is Maxis-compatible with family sims. I always figured that's who she was supposed to end up with since they went to the trouble of having Dustin know the guy and all.

oooo... a series. exciting! ^.^ *downloads this one too*

aww. I was really hoping for something not so large and bright green and unhidable.

Was this going to happen? *curious*

I downloaded this house yesterday. I just looked at it in game. Its really nice. I'll have to put a family in it and see how it plays. I'm one of those set-in-their-ways players who latches onto a specific houseplan and just reuses it over and over. I'm really trying to break that habit. So thanks for giving me another incentive.

"...the sim had no jaw..."

"I don't think that was a very good sim-ification... It's not very good simming."

"I agree with J.M. about the Flave Sim... not like the original guy at all."


*sighs* One of these days I'll figure out the secret handshake nose wiggle eyebrow twitch that alerts people to the fact that humor is being attempted.

You've rejected an original in-game template and a real life model. Your definition of normal is getting smaller and smaller. Although yes, I suppose you can't really qualify either Paris Hilton or Flaver Flav as "normal" anything. So I see your point. ^.^

Ok so I know its really a matter of ugly in, ugly out... but I saw this guy on MTS2 today and just couldn't resist. I paired him with another "celebrity", also taken directly from MTS2 just for this picture and then promptly deleted. She is equally as annoying and equally as mystifying to me why so popular. I probably could have clicked the button a few more times to get something even more hideous but the first result was pretty scary and proof enough that sometimes people and sims just shouldn't breed.

I just managed to do my very first successful mesh swap yesterday by following your tutorial. I was going to attempt another using the hourglass, only I'm not SimPE savvy enough to do extractions myself. Given the information you offered, I will attempt it though.

Does anyone have the extracted grim reaper hourglass they would be willing to share with me? I'd appreciate it. And please don't send me to Carrigon's site. I've tried several times over to register for that site and it doesn't work for me.

Hmmm... interesting. I had a teen roll up the want to receive that scholorship. I assumed when she rolled it that she wanted to be a vampire like her mother. Then I read the description. I had no desire for her to be a zombie so just let it go. If the scholorship really does work for vampires as well that would be an entirely different matter.
