Intentionally avoiding it, not hard at all. Accidentally is another matter so I wondered if there was a mod to hide/remove it.

WCIF a mod to hide/remove the option to 'tinker' with stuff?

WCIF a mod to stop Sims putting their babies on the floor? I'd rather they only put them in cribs or give to other sims to hold.

Thanks in advance.

I have a small request. Could anyone with experience in making tattoos, please turn this back tattoo & this full set body tattoo (which currently connect to accessories e.g. socks, earrings, etc) into layerable 'Ambitions' style tattoos instead?

I have previously asked the original author if she could convert them herself, back in July 2010, but nothing happened for months.
I contacted her again recently to ask for her permission to allow others (or myself) to convert them in her stead, for which she agreed.
I have tried to convert them myself using various tutorials, but I'm strugging too much with my learning difficulties to make any fruitful progress.

Baa to anyone who can help.

brownlustgirl already posted it (8 posts back from the one you quoted) in the Downloads thread, from back in April.

Try this:

1) Go to: Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\InstalledWorlds
2) Cut the file: Barnacle Bay.world
3) Paste in: Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\GameData\Shared\NonPackaged\Worlds

Run the game to see if Barnacle Bay shows up.

Thank you for the link Cappuccino.

Are there any cars that I've missed?

Glad it was a help to you.

Would this piece work? (Just in case: right click on the link and choose "Save Link As" to desktop)

Thanks Moryrie, I missed her notice on the frontpage as the links I'd saved were directly to the tattoos themselves. I'll be patient and wait for her to release them when they're done.

This is a request to make this set and this set into 'Ambition' style tattoos. The original accessory-based ones are rendered unlayerable when used with other same accessory-based CC. I have tried making them myself using various tutorials but I honestly haven't a clue what I'm doing.

Thanks in advance.

 It's old. That dress is part of the 'Jet Set' set. Looks like they're trying to recycle old stuff, to make people think they're getting something new for a bargain.

Ran through the Compressorizer.

Both .sim3pack & .package formats included.

Thank you Jordi, this will be very useful.

Edit:

I used it on Pescado's Resource.cfg and replaced Delphy's to stop the awesome hack from crashing when loading and it worked (yay!)

Many Baa'ings to you Jordi!

Thank you so much mibsywibsy.

What you said made me think the problem might be to do with the Resource.cfg file, so I rooted around and I found it was the problem after all.

From what I understand... Pescado's Resource.cfg doesn't seem to have the option (yet maybe?) to allow sub-foldering, whereas Delphy's Resource.cfg allows up to 4 levels of sub-foldering.


I'd previously installed Delphy's TS3 Installer before Pescado's AwesomeMod. I should have done it the other way around. Pes's AwesomeMod then Delphy's TS3 Installer.

*slaps forhead in shame*

I've just learnt that I can no longer keep my CC in subfolders if I want to use Pescado's AwesomeMod. Bawww.

I got someone to double check what I was doing with installing everything and he came to the conclusion that somewhere in the AwesomeMod, it changed how other hacks/mods are recognised by the game. I tried 2 mods in particular, 'nomosaic' and 'nointro' by rick on MTS (they were the fastest to test) and they both stopped working as soon as they were put in subfolders.

Has anyone else come across this problem?

You don't have to go to that much trouble but thanky very much Argon!

These ones apart from the bear and the bunny painting which you've already done. 
Argon has decustomised the Fiona download (Maxis valentines day underwear) but not the others that I can see.

Richief, could you decustomise some Maxis Valentine's Day items please?

Anette, with my old computer it had an Intel Core 2 Duo Processor, 2GB RAM, an Nvidea graphics card (forgot what number, I think around 5-600) and it was 'buggy' to play. Animations like growing up were very laggy for me.

With the new Quad core processor, extra RAM* and improved graphics card, my game loads x3 times faster including bodyshop which was a complete nightmare to run.  I used to try and play the game at max detail, but my old computer just couldn't handle it. Now, I have all the game detail at max and it has yet to crash on me. It has far smoother rendering of sims and housing when rotating the camera. I used to try and play the game at max detail, but my old computer just couldn't handle it. (Not sure if this is relevant but I have all stuff packs and expansions installed)

My partner informed me that what I have now, compared to my old computer, is more than powerful enough for Sims 2. I feel it was worth the upgrade even if I hadn't planned to use it for The Sims 3.

Hope this helped.

*(I know Vista only uses upto 3GB RAM)

I find Medion computers very reliable and I've yet to run into any problems with mine. I recently upgraded my pc over christmas and I thought it was a pretty good deal for the price. For £488 (Err, around $700?) I got:

Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad Processor Q8200 (2.33GHz, 1333FSB, 4MB)
Pre-Loaded Genuine Windows Vista(R) Home Premium (32 installed but also came with 64 on disk)
4GB DDR2-RAM (Dual Channel Mode)
1TB hard disk (Serial ATA 2, 16 MB cache)
Nvidia GeForce 9600GT (512mb GDDR3 RAM with HDMI and DVI output)
2x Multi-Standard DVD/CD Writers (DVD-RAM and Dual-Layer support)
3 Year warranty

The reason I upgraded it was mainly for sims 3.

I made one since it was missing, but I took it down when Cappuccino later added one to the The Sims 2 Store Collection Files.zip found in the first post of this thread.
