Any way to Remove Badges rather than just set them to Bronze or some crap likeit

[MissDoh]

So whats the debug command for removing badges, or - I guess I could do some homework and see if it's on any pie menus. 

If I remember well it is in the "spawn" menu that you get by clicking on your Sim while the "testingcheats" is on.  A little play boat will appear and you can clic on it to add or remove bagdes to your Sims (works the same way as the tombstone of L & D).

Wow, Just wow, I made a slight insult just becuase I first got a relatively useless answer and everyone is shitcanning me in retaliation. At least Motoki became more helpful along the way and didn't seem to take it so personal unlike you, The Internet sure is serious business for some of you people (if not most)!



Well I'm off, got stuff to do.

uh huh      you are new, people dont know you and you flip off with rude remarks?  not a smart way of starting off; you are beginning to sound like some Rooster Boy or UncoolOne pretty damned quickly

[witch]

Great! Another evening editing sims instead of playing. 

[Motoki]

It was a bit rude and it irked me at the time but I've been called FAR worse. 

SimPE is your friend. It can do almost anything. The only downside is having to exit the game to do it and put up with the long loading time when you reload it again (well if you have as much custom content as I do anyhow).

Who knew the badge juicer doesn't work on teens? I bet you Maxis didn't even realize that.

There's another hack someone at MTS2 made (Squinge maybe?) similar to the badge juicer but different. Apparently, I've heard it can even assign badges to kids.  I'm at work and too lazy to look for it though.

Finally, there's another option that hasn't been mentioned yet. You can always do what Pescado does, underpay them!

I'm puzzled as to why you expected everyone here to be experts and give you an immediate answer, and then got huffy when your assumptions proved to be false. Go ahead and act as superior and I-don't-care as you like; you still come across like a child that's been denied a sweet who is storming off to its room and going "FINE! I didn't want it anyway!"

[veilchen]

Motoki, there was no cause to call you anything. He asked a general question without details, and you gave a general answer. What else could you have said to that person?

You were supposed to know what it was he (or she) wanted how? By osmosis? ESP? Thought-channeling? Now I do have great faith in your talents, Motoki, but I don't think even you can do it that way.

For someone that just started posting in a forum, this was a very silly move. Uncouth behavior like that is not looked upon kindly by the majority of people, whether it's on the internet, in social situations, or any other interactive situation.

Yeah Zoltan, that thought immediately flashed through my mind, but then I remembered that I was in the Podium.

Go Renatus, I couldn't have said it better myself.
 
Edited: because I only just now saw Witch's post... how's that for being outraged. Was I so angry that I couldn't see straight?
The badges appear pretty quickly when you click on 'set to', but don't click on 'Increase'. When I did that in my game, the sim started to spin around (the 'dress - undress' spin).
I was curious, so I let it happen, and he didn't stop spinning until the badge had increased to the next level. It was pretty funny, but took quite a while. I only used the little boat/badge juicer for a little while, to increase to bronze faster. When JM came out with his fix, I didn't use it anymore. I didn't know about the teen thing either, I'm behind in my mind reading exercises, or so it seems.

Huh? His fix is out? Where? Do tell.

It's just for the cashier badge though, but that's all I needed anyway. The other badges are fairly easy to get, and not as annoying as seeing even a pixel person behaving as if their brain suddenly switched off.

[C.S.]

Well, if you don't have teens in your game, there's no way you could know. I knew because I have teens still hanging around (trying for the last and somewhat elusive 'ET' scholarship) even though I should be packing them off to college already.

The badges appear pretty quickly when you click on 'set to', but don't click on 'Increase'. When I did that in my game, the sim started to spin around (the 'dress - undress' spin).

I tried that too, and decided that's pretty handy (I tend to get impatient sometimes), rather than handing them a badge without them having to work for it at least some . Give Knowledge sims with maxed out skills something to want too, although it's not necessarily a want limited to Knowledge sims only.

Danke Veilchen, the Badge Juicer works perfectly.

[radiophonic]

Why would want you remove the badges? Just because they have a certain badge, doesn't mean they have to do the job associated with it, and they can still earn other badges. Besides, you never know when you'll need them again.

[Motoki]

I think the issue was that a badge that you don't need them to have and won't ever have them use will still factor into their pay and thus you will need to pay them more. Unless you are Pescado, then you won't care and will pay them as little as possible.

[radiophonic]

Ah, I see. Need more coffee before I post silly questions.

No, I'm not JM but my workers don't get paid squat regardless. 
I've been trying to hire the neighborhood kids to make shoes and small, worthless plastic toys with "Made In Sim City" stamped on the bottom.

I don't know how JM gets away with it, if I pay sims anything under 'fair' their plumbob goes red, they go and shout and stomp at the business owner, then they quit.

[MissDoh]

Witch, Pescado have his own little secrets but now he issued his secret.  You can download the new and shiny "relevant wages + wage fix" mod.

[Daria]

And the insult was necessary b/c??? If you didn't realize, most pple don't take to assholes very kindly. Especially lazy ones. With your social skills, I'm sure you fare so well IRL.  Toodles! 

I'm not defending the first poster, but really.. the irony fairly drips off this post.

Yeah, but it's the wrong kind. Not the friendly kind. There is no obligation to help him in the first place, and he was rude when the first solution didn't work. Not cool.

[Regina]

Just as an aside here, it's a little tricky to figure out the badge thing in SimPE.  The info that needs changed is in the Memories section.  I discovered it quite by accident, then ended up setting some sims to gold badges when I really only wanted bronze ones.

[aussieone]

Sorry to say, but I just downloaded the badge juicer and it ummm.....probably conflicts with another hack.

I had one sim quit on me even though he was fairly paid and didn't quit before the hack install. Also, every hour, I got multiple (and I mean lots and lots) of -$amounts come off my sims takings.

Anyhow, I got rid of it the hack- no sims was dissatisfied with their wage and I wasn't losing money hand over fist before installing this hack.

Should have known better to use a non-awesome hack!! 

[Renatus]

It's not a hack, though, not really - all the downloadable version is is one you don't have to spawn through boolprop. It's just pulling from something already in the game.

[J. M. Pescado]

Witch, Pescado have his own little secrets but now he issued his secret.  You can download the new and shiny "relevant wages + wage fix" mod.

No, this simply makes them demand relevant wages.

I underpay them anyway.

I have people slaving at $6/hr. Whee!

* J. M. Pescado crack whip.

[witch]

So how do you stop them quitting?

[Motoki]

He uses playables that his owner has a high relatioship with and who are already in platinum so they are in a good mood regardless of their needs.

What irony? Pray tell? Social etiquette doesn't require me to be friendly to the unfriendly. Well, unless you happen to be in customer service.

Ah, so I am on the right track when I'm trying to make my business owners into friends with their staff. I've been playing with the Maxis families with motherlode on, I wanted to try out all facets before I played with my own families, I grievously overpaid the staff 'cos I couldn't be bothered setting up new staff all the time.

I did get the issue JM mentions, where non-managerial-staff suddenly left with pay in the red because the game decided they needed manager wages, glad he sussed that little glitch out.
