Actually, Carrigon has something like that. Whenever you feed your pet a treat, their motives will boost.

It worked! The moment I placed the crowbar down, the lot unfroze and live mode enabled. The Sim got a taxi home, saved and all is well once more. I did a quick perusal to see if any of Bluewater or the neighborhood was fubared, and everything seems fine.

JM, you're brilliant. Thank you.

I'd much rather have your fixes than a damned Maxi patch that destroys 10 things for every one it *might* repair.

JM, yes, the Sim is visible (heading inside the door to his shop, to be exact). I can move him around like a mannequin, but he's completely frozen.

It happened to me, except the Sim went to his community lot in a taxi, not owned car. I saved and exited to the neighborhood screen.

Now his community shop is in "pause" with only build/buy mode available. Debug mode shows no errors. I can't load his home in the neighborhood, since he's stuck in his store.

I did try Inge's teleporter; he can be brought to another lot and interacted with, but he can't move in, etc. I even had another Sim work up a relationship so they'd fall in love and perhaps move him in via marriage, but no go.

Motoki, I have one named "RedStorm13-Motoki-Laptop-Uni", so I assume it's what you're looking for.



[404'ed!]

"if you don't tweak it, I could die and stuff"

(just wandering through some highschool memories, don't mind me)

Welcome, Crammyboy!

No, I believe that's Lyran you're thinking of?

I don't upload my things anymore, I don't want the headaches. However, we can still begin that society, if you want, albeit one-sided! lol

Motoki, I followed your poly count arguements as well, and sided with you. Of course the counts matter!

Way back when I was taking classes for 3D Max, one of the first things I was taught was "let the texture carry you". There are so many ways to reduce poly counts that it's ridiculous for anyone to distribute items that are so freaking bloated. Again, it's either incompetency or lack of caring.

(And Motoki, I remember you from the Morrowind days. Yours and Rhedd's stuff were the ones I relied on.)

And again, I agree with you re responsible sit owners. I've hosted a few sites. One can be opinionated and controversial without turning diva and/or dictator.

First off, I rarely post anywhere, but I've been a member of all these sites from the start. If I have problems in the game, I quietly search it out and find solutions.

I did post once on VS, a rather profane little ditty, but I was tired of Rentech's attitude, and I was in my cups and pissed. Rentech did not like my post (wry grin).

I've followed all this melodrama with much amusement, the mods of VS holding their breath and stamping their little feet over the CEP...over JM...over anything with which they didn't agree.

Now for my somewhat petty little thought: I filled out that survey on VS, just for the hell of it. I didn't give VS very high ratings in its blatant attempts at "aren't we wonderful and just the best site ever?" questions. In fact, I basically said VS would be the last place I'd turn to for help. (An aside, now that TJ is here, I doubt I'll download from there...Rentech's poly counts on her objects make me fall over laughing).

I got an email from Pam saying I was one of 50 to fill out the survey, send her my address and I'd receive my gift in 5-7 days. I did so (I don't worry about spam in my real mailbox, that's easily handled).

It's been two weeks and nothing. I wonder if it was my crummy rating of VS in the survey? Or that one little post Rentech didn't like? Or laziness?

It isn't that I give a flying rat's ass about a PS2 demo; whether I'd use it as a frisbee for my cats or a coffee cup coaster is irrelevant.

Perhaps Maxis should know they might think twice about hitching their wagon to VS if VS isn't going to follow through.

Motoki, is it the "hugginghack" (in the moreawesomethanyou director's cut). I think that's the one.

Well, our Illustrious Pescado made "nobogartswings", it was wonderful and worked perfectly... I've not heard if this works in NL or not, and I've not tried it after installing.
