Awesomod discussion/questions/helpful tips thread

[cwurts]

Okay, my problem is, I made a world in CAW, and I gave all the lots in my 'rich' subdivision a 75 for beautiful vista.  In playing the game however, I realized what a mistake this was.  Now I am looking for a way to either remove the beautiful vista moodlet entirely, or reduce it to a smaller value on each individual lot.  Does awesomemod have any functionality like this yet?  If not, I would like to request it. 

Also, I would like to know how to change the address of a lot using Ctrl-click or whatever - if that's possible.  If not, I request that too!

I have a question. I am just getting back to playing WA with Windows 7 (I haven't played since late Nov. or December sometime). I don't have the stuff pack yet and not sure when I will be getting it. And the dumb launcher forced me to update to the 2.5.12 patch. My question is am I going to be able to run my game with AM or is it not going to work now?

Don't double post. There is a modify button for a reason. Learn to use it.

Also, the new versions are 1.10/2.5/3.1. It isn't really absurd since apparently the new stuff that came with HELS had some stupid bugs.

Look Silent Dreamer, first, I have been a member of this site since 2005, so I am not a Newbie as you are, so shut the fuck up.  Second, I did not double post, they really are two different topics, so kiss my ass on that one.  Third, it is absurd the way that EA seems to update one ahead of Awesome over and over.  Now, go back to your stupid Newbie position and Lurk MOAR!

While I stand corrected in the double post point, I find it hilarious you're telling me to lurk moar when you, twice in a row, have proven you don't lurk enough. Joining in 2005 doesn't make it any more asinine to ask questions you, yourself can answer with some simple T&E. Join date and n00bishness do not work linearly. I admit, I'm still new enough, however I don't think your artificial pedestal is very stable. Pot meeting kettle and all that.

I've noticed fish keep disappearing from the new HELS aquarium, sometimes within less than one Sim day.  Is that a Hand of God thing, or is the aquarium broken?

Have you tried editing each lot by selecting it? I'm new to CAW but I noticed you can (apparently) edit the values by selecting the lot. The info comes up in the middle-left column, if that makes sense. Anyway, I changed the beautiful vista value in one lot that way, although I'm nowhere near testing anything out so I might be wrong about that actually working.

[cwurts]

Yes, but I already exported the world and started playing it.  I'm looking for a way to edit in-game, so I don't have to rebuild all the buildings and reload the families.

If you bulldoze the lot the Vista goes away completely.  If you want to keep the house, you can package it first and re-lay it after bulldozing.  There is a mod that allows you to alter your vista BF's.  Find it here…

You can change the address by selecting ‘edit details' in buy/build mode.  Edit town mode, rather.

Is there a d/l link for a 2.3 version of AM (for those who still don`t feel that comfortable updating)?

[J. M. Pescado]

No, because it no longer exists. Suck it up. Patching isn't that painful.

[saraswati]

Is there a way to ensure that the NPC's don't get allocated specific items, and if not is there a way to fix it? One of the maids in my 'hood has the stupid Santa hats and I'm not sure how to get rid of it.

[ChilltownNJ]

Yup, the nudist colony mod.

[DarkAssassin]

Where's the link to the 2.5 version of awesomemod? The awesomemod thread says that it has been updated to 2.5, but the link only contains the 1.9, 2.4, and 3.0 version.

[ChilltownNJ]

Ummm, right here?  Would you like me to walk you across the internet superhighway also?

Thank you for showing me the link to the 2.4 version, but I asked for the 2.5 version. The thread clearly states that AM has been updated to the 2.5 version, but here is what I saw.
OFFICIAL 1.10/2.5/3.1 UPDATE
Updated for latest patch.
Fixed issue with sims spawning with an everyday uniform in every category.

So, where is the update? 

[ciane]

The wording didn't get changed in the first post, but it is indeed the updated mod.

Ok, thanks for clearing up the confusion.

[ChilltownNJ]

When in doubt, download the awesome.zip file from the main page, and then read the rtmf.txt file included in the .zip file, it shows what updates it is currently compatible with, and also contains a detailed list of bugfixes.

If you have AM installed you should be able to type the cheat, "mirror [sim first and last name]" and then have the ability to change the maid's hair and makeup. I've done it before, although it was a while ago.

Ah thank you so much, that tip will be extremely useful. The Santa hat is definitely not the only stupid NPC hairstyle I've seen, it's just the stupidest.

How do you specify what type of fish you want to fish for with Supreme Commander?

[J. M. Pescado]

Once Supreme Commander is active, CRTL-Click again to pop the Fish Chooser.

Ah thanks. Been trying to figure it out since yesterday

I just noticed that having censorship turned off leaves it on for using the toilet. Is that supposed to happen? I dont mind that they'd have their pants on, I just hate that dumb censor.

Yes, Claertard.
