Hey Toonie, Wizard and others,

MTS has a No Food Spoilage mod by mikrokitty in 3 flavors: 16, 24 and 1 million hours. I use the million hours flavor because I don't like any of my food to spoil ever. Check it out!

Hey Ambular,

These are really beautiful and it's too bad that my Mom isn't playing S3, she's sticking with S2, as this pattern has been her favorite since she was a little girl... Thanks !   

This is just your perception of the definition for ellipses which is fine. Carry on !   

And you failed to read further to see that ellipsis also indicate a pause in thought and/or a sentence... silly witchy !  My ellipsis are intentional here, capiche ?   

Ah but ellipsis are your friend... and it's not useless to see the percentage of simmers who are interested in fixing the behavior mentioned by Wizard... but you wouldn't get that now would you ?  Silly witch, useless fixes are for kids... what a 12 thing to do...   

I agree and would love to see this event shortened since it is very irritating and unnecessary...   

This is good to know since I read this multiple times and kept coming up w/the answer that it made no sense no matter how the phrase was broken down, and it was so convoluted that I found myself comparing it to the complex law cases that we used to have to brief when studying to be Paralegals...   

You can change her LTW by having her build up enough lifetime happiness points, 10,000 - so that she can then buy the Change Lifetime Wish reward in the LTW rewards menu... and w/AM installed you can just bring up the console window, Ctrl-Shift-C and type in "lifetimehappiness" w/out the quotes and she will be given 50,000 points w/out having to fulfill any of her wants/wishes... Good Luck !  

I don't have any of my sims on SC and do like the fact that inactive sims now workout autonomously, however, while they no longer randomly gain weight, they also do not look any more buff until I take control of them and then there is noticeable muscle gain...   

Okay rocky, IF you have Awesome Mod in the correct file then you should be able to bring up the console window with Ctrl-Shift-Click and type in ShowConfig and hit enter, now you should be able to see approx. 4 pages of the Config file and also the specifics that you want to configure. So, let's say you want to enable the Robotic Hand of God, once you've written down all of the elements of AM that you want to configure (make a list), next bring up the console window again and type SetConfig RoboticHandofGod Enabled and then hit enter again. Do this w/all elements that you want to configure and then save your changes. You will need to do this each and every time you play your game, as setting the config in-game is only temporary. The online config is working just fine for me, so you may not have everything set up in your files correctly. Good Luck !  

There is one thing to the pedophile trait/scenario that you may not be aware of layziegtp, and that is that Pescado added it only to make a lot of simmers happy since he really did not want it in his mod of the game. So, it's really his right to then add w/e consequences that will make him happy as this way the playing field is more fair, so if he wants to make it a permanent trait then so be it. And I realize that you probably didn't know this when "playing around" w/this trait just as I didn't know that my workaround that I suggested to you was now extinct...  Just a learning curve of sorts and now since he's modified it for a bit it would be a good idea to take advantage of it fast !  Good Luck !    

Wow, this looks really awesome and you're right, the Sims Art Gallery website is da bomb! There is artwork and paintings, etc. that should appeal to a variety of simmers... this site has been a real lifesaver for people who love to do unique interior design and have art/paintings that are of great quality and originality, unlike the sad EAxis offerings in our base game...      

Hey layziegtp,

I too had this problem in my game w/one of my sims and then thru the advice of another poster here was able to get it removed from the sims' trait list. So, just take AM out of your game, place it on your desktop temporarily and then go back into your game and you will see that the trait is no longer there. Then save and exit your game, put the AM back in your packages folder and you should be good to go... Good Luck !   

I have actually seen this quite a few times lately w/several famblies and wondered what was up with it...   

Now that you explain it that way it makes sense and I also realize that I was thinking of TS2 where it seemed that the game had a built-in type of autosave feature that saved the game to the game you were actually playing, and not a "sub-game" if you will that would be separate... but since this is all new technology/programming the saving aspects are different as well.  A Doh moment for me ~   

The long pauses have indeed increased after the very latest build of AM, as I had just started my computer up to play S3 and it had not had any time to heat up...  I too noticed my sims just standing around not "doing" anything whereas before this build, they would go about their business as I always play w/free will maxed.  My kids going to school go in lock-step formation and I should have taken a piccy of my teen and kid both poised on the top step of the front porch each w/a leg extended to take the next step, just frozen for a sim second... funny to see not so funny to play...   

The AutoSavesToKeep cannot be set to zero (0) as the numbers go from 1 to 10, and it's been this way since its' inception whenever I try to set it to zero.

Very nice bit of info Jordi, and I'm just sure I can hear the crickets and banjo playing right about now...   

In addition, if two first cousins end up marrying and having kids then the "Stupid" trait will most likely appear in one or more of the chilluns...      

Hey Rosehrt,

Well you are correct in your thinking on this and I had to "force" my married sim women to "get busy" with her flirty younger guy by first making them "Best Friends" and then having her initiate all the romantic actions until the bigger interactions finally appeared in the Romance social interaction tree... like "First Kiss" and then on to making out and the finale, woohooing !  

The expressions on her face were really comical as she looked very confused and aghast at what she was doing and saying to her intended lover...  I  should have taken some screenies because it was classic...  Anywayz, you will have to force it if you want anything to happen between a married sim w/Family Oriented and a Flirty Single sim... but the results are totally worth it...  Good Luck !    

Edit: The younger guy is Zac Efron so it will be fun to see what his kid looks like w/a CAS woman...   

LMBO!  Very clever and funny too!  So, a hidden sim world morality emerges slowly but surely...   

Also thanks so much twallan for this newest mod!  I too had been wishing for this action to be possible and a relationship booster for sims to become "friends" faster with the ability to woohoo as the end result is awesome!  THANK YOU !   

Well, that may be and I don't doubt you but I am very careful in clicking on social interaction trees and I am certain that I did not initiate this action... and that's why it was such a surprise.  But w/e it's all good and a LOT of fun!   

Just want to say a BIG thanks to all who are working on AM's Storymode... as today, it threw me a cool surprise when my celebrity sim, Zac Efron, who is set-up to be one of RV's hottest bachelors with Flirty, Charismatic, Great Kisser, Friendly, and a few other traits but NOT Hopeless Romantic, Family Oriented or Commitment Issues... asked an EAxis woman to "Break Up" with her hubby autonomously... very N.I.C.E. !  And not what I really wanted him to be doing but if he ends up asking every woman he woohoos with to do this everytime, my 'hood should have a lot of broken hearted husbands which could be really funny !  

Great job so far everyone and can't wait to see what will happen in the future of the game w/more development and elements added...  Brava !  

Hey Ambular,

Thanks so much as I have never seen the Jeanette hairstyle from S2 and LOVE longer hair on my guy sims having been a '70's teen... very N.I.C.E. !      

It must have something to do w/marrying NPC's then cause in my game all of my Private Weddings are being performed just fine... so might wanna continue testing w/NPC's and then post in the "New Bug Thread" if this behavior (crashing) is 100% w/NPC's... and Good Luck!
