Thanks My limited SimPE skills will be sufficient for that.

Quick question: In the Uberhood, the group pie-menus when teleporting Sims have had their names changed to 'Townies' and 'Service' or whatever, instead of the surname of the first sim to be generated in that group. How did you do that? It'd be so useful to be able to do that myself in my hoods.

Ah great, I'll just leave mine in then to be on the safe side. Baa, Rufio!

At the moment I use a single PT replacement hack (the default sim gets replaced, that's it) but I'm looking into getting a multi-PT hack.

A warning I'm seeing on nearly all multi-PT hacks is never to remove the sim files if you install a new multi-PT, as this messes up the genetics in the game and leads to borked fambly tree business. However, my single PT hack has no seperate sim file that I could leave in the game if I would switch to a multi-PT hack. Would switching mess up my game because it cannot link to the single PT replacement, or should I be fine as it would just link back to the original Maxis PT?

Squinge did some mods like that in his Mega College Pack, but this will work for every sim, not just the looser/loser (?) ones.

How long have you let the game run through this slow motion problem? My game sometimes gets a lag that resembles what you're describing, and if I leave it to chew through whatever it is that's bothering the game for a minute, maybe two or three, it picks up again as if nothing happened.

Mh, it seems TS3 is slightly more 'serious' in more ways than just pee. A lot less wacky antics and general hullabaloo. I quite like this in TS2.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks so.

I've given TS3 several tries (I'm halfheartedly poking around in it again nowadays, but it still fails to capture my attention) but I just can't seem to get into it. TS2 however is something I always come back to. I tend to play in cycles, with frenzied playing being followed by months where I don't touch the game at all and do other stuff, but that's more to do with my attentionspan than the game. Considering how much I still play TS2, it's actually been a better investment than most games I buy, which get played through once or twice and then thrown into a box somewhere.

When reinstalling, does one need to apply all patches for every expansion, or is applying the latest patch sufficient?

I doubt it, seeing as you are not influencing single roofs - you are still changing the angle of the entire roof, you're just fooling the game by deleting the roof you had so far and then restoring it as it was originally. It may look like you're changing one particular roof section, but this is not the case as far as game mechanics are concerned.

She looks less surprised than brainwashed though. In a robotic I-must-kill-all-organic-life sort of way.

Actually, I do know about dragging the entire style, and as I stated earlier, doing it that way still takes ages. But if that's the fastest way of doing it, so be it I guess 

I'm customising some houses I've downloaded, including changing the colour of windows etc. I was wondering if there's a way to change the style on ALL windows (of the same type) at once, because going in and changing them manually one by one is a damn slog. Even dragging the style one by one to 20+ windows takes frikkin ages.

I know you can bulldoze things by type (fence, objects, etc), so maybe there's something like this for create a style too?

You need to rename the backup file to a normal sims3 file for it to work. Did you remove the .backup part of the filename before trying to run it?

New version fixes that, should redownload. Works pretty well now in my game

That issue has indeed been fixed in latest build.

After some more playing I noticed the latest storymods has made my sims too picky. Absolutely nobody has any available romance victims, except for the flirty ones (a grand total of two in the entire hood), who only seem to fool around, and don't get married.

Seems like the pendulum has swung too far to the non-romance side?

That makes sense  There'd be a godawful spam if it popped up everytime a sim went to work, and sims not going to work was such a major annoyance I couldn't really believe Pescado hadn't fixed it at all. Cheers for explaining that to me.

As I said, I don't mind a bit of adultery, it's only Pauline Wan who's up to it atm anyway. I'll have to check her traits and see if she's flirty / has commitment issues.

Rampant Romancing has been adequately squashed now, huzzah! Sims seem very picky now, and there's still some adultery going on, but that's allright for me.

Is the pop-up announcing a sim is going to work supposed to, erh, pop up everytime they do so? If this is the case, most of my neighbourhood just isn't going to work at all. No idea if storymod is supposed to finally fix this problem or not, though.

Anyone else notice rampant romancing with storymod? My sims seem to be a very unfaithful bunch, hopping from relationship to relationship. In the one week I've played, Jamie Jolina has been married three times, and a certain Norbert Watson is romancing at least half of the town, grannies included.

I don't mind some drama, but I liked some of the couples that were thrown up and I really don't feel like trekking across the neighbourhood everytime some sims get frisky to punch them in the kidneys 

Just curious if this is just me or other people have this in their game, too.

Odd names do not bother me, it's the genderconfused ones that I hate. My whitey sims can go on being a Latoyah or Mei-Lin for all I care, but a sim will *not* be called Carmen while sporting stubble. That's just... no. Do not want.

Legal, put all modified/removed files back before patching, went nice and smooth and have had no problems whatsoever to date.

Everywhere I try to host it, it gets deleted for being 'inappropriate content' 

To stab someone in the back, you need to get close up to them first?

It was still the bunny, but allright then, I'll stick with the iconic one 

Bonus: Stupid Pink NepheBunny. (or well, closest I could get)



I don't really think pink is her colour.
