How to place opened tent?

[Lion]

I'd like to place tents on community lots for poor "homeless" sims. But when I place the tents from WA, they are rolled up. When I send sims to sleep, they can't open it. I guess I can have a sim buy some tents, go to a community lot, and place and leave them around, and then save the lot.  But that's too  much prep for each new hood. I want to make a lot that's ready to plot. Also I'd like to put it in a world.

I saved some camps from the adventures hoods, and they have opened tents. Apparently it can be done, but how?

I can't find the way to do that in Buy mode, but you can try:

1. Select the household you play.
2. Select the sim that has some tents in his/her inventory.
3. Move the camera to the location you want to put the tent in. (You don't have to move the sim itself.)
4. Open the inventory, click the tent and click 'Place.'
5. Put the tent down.

Sorry if it was too obvious.

That shouldn't work with AM updated though.

>NPCs should no longer hijack player tents.

Then how about making a dummy sim, move the sim in the empty lot, buy some tents in the debug mode and place them in the community location? You can then save that community lot to the library and evict & remove the dummy sim. Damn, it's too much effort, though.

The placeable tents on premade lots are special. They are not the same as your regular tents. In fact, trying to place them all seems to bugger up the game. If you edit the Egyptian lot, for instance, and try to clone the tents, the result is a fucked up tent with mutilated textures.

So basically, we're not sure how to do this or if it is even possible.

Are you sure?



I cloned the tent on a camp from China and made a little camp ground in a custom hood. It looks fine. Don't know about the big tent, because I haven't found it in a premade lot.

I have managed to unlock the opened up tents, they appear in the community lot build mode, under community objects all. 

You can find them at prettysims.com

I'd like them too, but I am a member at so many places that I never even go to again. Now when I follow the links to a nice pretty I often try to login first just in case I am already a member there, other places I just do not bother. I second an upload into Pudding Factory, I suspect there are at least a good handful of people who would want them.

Pretty Sims is pretty lame. Download it from here. If you don't have MTS acount, go here.

That just catagorizes the tents. Everyone else is talking about placing them on community lots already open.
Which. I can not find a mod for. Since Pretty Sims's downloads are messed up right now and I can not download the mod that allows me to do so, I will have to continue looking.

I've been watching this post for a wee while to see when someone would do that, knew it would happen.

You only had to pm one of us to get the tents mod mailed to you.  These are free downloads and there is no need to steal them.  Drat, I had to sign up here for an account to make this comment.  blah!!!

Our download issue just means you have to sign out then back in and they all work, we've been looking into this for a while and haven't come up with an answer as to why it happens.

Remember, you don't have to steal our downloads, they're free, just ask and you will receive.  I do hope you at least give Bill credit for the work he did on it.

[Jelenedra]

No one can PM you without registering, point is no one wanted to register for one download. No one took credit for it, so go bah somewhere else.


Also, painkiller registered after this thread was made, so I suspect that attempted drama bomb is made of FAIL.

[Lydia_Kettle]

There was no attemped drama bomb.  I also had to sign up here to make a comment, it's the way of the web.  Had to sign up to make one lousy comment about stealing something that's free anyway.  It was actually blah I said, not bah, lol, this site is hilarious as is the stealing of free stuff. 

I won't be back over on this, all I am saying is pay stuff is one thing, but free stuff?  How lame is that?.

They are saving your bandwidth, you should be grateful!

Permanent tents and public picnic blanket can be found in the Miscellaneous Debug sub-category.

You didn't read, did you? The mod recategorizes permanent and non-permanent tents.

I wasn't the only one who wanted to use the tents in community lots so I shared the mod... Didn't have any demoniac plan, nope.
