Hmmm, I actually find the current state of homosexuals in the game pretty good.  I get about 4-6 couples in the neighborhood.  I just want to know if there's a mod that allows them to adopt when not playing them.  That would be super. 

Thank you for doing that, much appreciated!    

Replopping the lot will allow you to delete the objects.  Then just replace them with fresh new ones.  This problem seems to exist in these specific bungalows (there are 3 of them).  Before it was the main trashcan, the upstairs toilet, and the mailbox.  Is the trashcan also effected?  I thought I had fixed it, but it looks like it jumped to other objects instead!  I will probably have to start the lot over from scratch. 

Speaking of starting lots over, anyone want to take a stab at getting stairs into a basement at Coconut Castle?  I wanted to make a lounge down there but I get the foundation error, even though there isn't a foundation! 

Yes, I forgot to mention that the tombs/hidden locations are a mess right now.     It's best to just leave them be if you come across any!   

There will be two types of tombs on Coconut Island; Quest and Discovery.
Discovery tombs are scattered all over the world, some small, some more involved.  Some are extra hidden locations(like the "love nest") and some are small rewards. They require the "Key to Discovery" which are also hidden around the world.  These keys can open any Discovery tomb, and there will be as many keys as there are locks for them. 
Quest tombs are three large tombs strung together by the Moon, Star and Heart key.  The first key is hidden in the world, and you can't access the other two until you complete the first one.  There are also hidden Discovery tombs within quests, for extra rewards or shortcuts.

There will be sims in the final release, but in the meantime you could use "spawnmoreoverlords" from AM to get between 60-80 sims.  Thanks for the heads up with Stoney Heights!

That Reg lady has a thing for you.   She'd bring your name up to prove her point in multiple threads at that forum, like you guys were best friends.  Creepy...

I have an update for the BETA in the first post, if anyone was checking it out/testing.  

I'm also curious about the caps.  If what they said were true, that still doesn't answer for why I and others have more than 200 sims in our hood without the game knocking them off.  It was like a barrage of "No" "NO" "NOO!" "Wah! Pescado says so!" "Wah! EA says so!" "Wah, I have friends and they say so too!" so I didn't get any real answer other than being told I'm wrong over and over and over again.   

I edited the links for the update btw. I fixed the major routing issues and removed the CC from HolySimoly.  Also if you're seeing fog everywhere, save and reload the world.  The fire flies and pigeons at Stoney Square will pop back into normal. 

Here's the latest update if you're interested in checking it out,

I guess I do love stirring up drama!    

muahahahaha....ok not really, I actually don't.  


I know you are but what am I?   Coconut Island isn't dead, the file was deleted because I was in the process of updating the BETA and then all hell broke loose!  It wasn't deleted because of what you think, you idiot.    A new update is coming either tomorrow or Friday, I have routing issues that I've been trying to squash!  

This was beautiful btw,    

You guys make me all grammatically nervous.  I hate love you all. 


It's true.


Thank you!  I tested it out last night and it worked perfectly.    Sims get around so much quicker now.


Shh, don't ruin the twist.


But the pinkies...  Think of the Pinkies!

aww you're cute. You deleted your post so no one would know you asked a stupid question(if it required WA, which I answered twice in this thread - for those who want context). I bet you felt all warm and fuzzy correcting my grammarz after your fail of a question.  "Yea? YEA? Well...your grammar SUCKS!"  

man I love this site. Grammar bots are so adorable.  

hmmm...let's see what I can find out in my own thread to help you answer this difficult-to-find question...

oh look!

2.0

3.0

 

but of course you could always try and see if your computer explodes.   

it was a mistake. Do you need a hug?

woh that was one long week...

3.0 preview,  


just a quick rundown,
needs all three expansions, no stuff packs
40+ residential lots (don't have an exact total yet, still adding in more)
18+ venues
most ambitions/LN/WA venues are included
there will be at most 3 WA tombs to solve plus more secret locations
subways hidden in docks for faster travel(bummer that NPC's don't use them)
Bug plague be gone!  All spawners revamped so no more annoying route failures!

There is still much to do, but I plan on getting this out by New Years the latest.

and for those who want it as a vacation island here is the how to,
http://www.modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=421319

it will replace one of the existing ones though!  

I just wanted to add that you can use

"exp3pigeonwalkingthree" 
"exp3pigeonwalkingfive"
"ep3pigeonstandingthree"
"ep3pigeonstandingfive"   

to get the pigeons.

after spending way too much time complaining about how unhelpful people are here, you couldn't even help the guy yourself with the answer you found. 

week or two    life is getting a little in the way right now(damn you!) so I've only been able to pick at it an hour or so here and there. 

I'll have to experiment with that.  The reason they latch to Point Pleasant Like honey bees is because of the mausoleum, and if you're using awesomemod, that's their #1 mating destination.    What DO they do in there...there's some funky necrophilia goinon up in there!

I've also revamped the spawners, it will be updated with the next version.  I've also been tackling the demands for bigger lots.  Two new islands have been added that are the same size as the mainland, but more secluded(not so tight knit) so you'll have more space and variety with more elbow room and arm room

Thanks guys so much for all the feedback, I'm definitely listening and learning

sorry, I meant stealth stairs.  It's the way they made "elevators" in Sims 2.  It's building stairs with constrainfloorelevation false and it creates 1 tile staircases.  I'm going to have to google it myself again to find the tutorial I used. 

hmmm, I used the stealth staircase method and it works on my end.  Anyone else having this problem?  Although the stairs should be on the ground, not that high up, weird!  I can upload just the lot itself to replace it.

yea it's a bummer not to have the book/grocery store, I've been using the debug/awesomemod option of shift+controling the bookshelves in the community center and adding in all the books/recipes that way.  I would love to throw in a few rabbit holes but it would clash with the island vibe.  And I'd love to throw in the rabbit hole signs from modthesims2 and/or the cash register you linked to, but I wanted to keep it custom content free.   

thanks guys!  Had a lot of fun making it and I have a lot of ideas in store for the WA edition whenever I get around to getting it. 

lol.  I put in a ton of "Lightning bugs" thinking they would be very pretty at night flying around glowing, until I realized they were some weird green slugish ground bugs.     I kept them in out of the concept that there was some mass infestation and became the island bug, like a state flower.   

but yea, omg, give it a few sim days of no one collecting and you don't have to be in a motorcycle traveling 50 mph to get them stuck in your teeth. 

I don't have WA yet, but is that possible?  I plan on making Tomb of the Coco Nut when I get WA, and add onto the island.  I would definitely love to make this a vacation island if we have the ability.


I didn't include any freshwater fish, but all others are there.  Rocks, bugs, saltwater fish, seeds, etc.  I'll be revamping the spawners for my WA edition and include anything I left out.

the mausoleum is there, just keep searching.  I threw in a few secret locations... resource files? you mean the CAW save file?  

The rabbithole signs would be a great addition.  Wanted to keep it custom content free, but it's definitely a perfect fit.  


I'm confused then, because it's been tossing in a few sims every now and then without my aid.  Does the mausoleum count or is it just for full time jobs?  I've also had the aging set to "long", so much more time has been spent on the island, if that has anything to do with it.  I started with just one sim and it threw in 4 new sims from the get-go.  They paired off and had kids, and later I noticed 3 more new arrivals.    I was very curious to see how quick the village would die off with awesomestory and while it doesn't fill the hood, it has added in a few homeless sims that pop up from time to time that have helped with populating the world.  I was ready to shift+control/"addsim" the entire island generation after generation  

those rabbit hole signs are sounding pretty good right about now...

I've actually been surprised how awesomemod's story mode has been handling it.  I too have been waiting for it to become deserted, but it's been doing an OK job.  It definitely doesn't stock it with an abundance of sims, but it has kept at least 3-5 families living at once through a few generations already(in my current save there are 4 families that have lived on and currently have kids to seed...*chuckles*).  They just love those dates at the mausoleum
