I know what you mean, that's what led me to put the build on "pause" - also, I'm a teacher I haven't had time since the school year started! But I did upgrade to a SSD and actually CAW runs a lot better. The last I had worked on it, I thought about just packaging it up the way it is, some parts are very full of lots,…
The funny thing is ... I have literally not even logged in here in MONTHS (I never have time during the school year for simming) and yet the day I log in you @ me only 2 hours before!
The random roommates being generated on Apartment lots is a function of StoryProgression. My mod disables that and also does a bunch of other things. If you use my mod, changing a lot to Apartment and then using the phone to disable roommates just lets the lot work as a rental lot, IE, you can live in a house but only pay…
Oh, yeah, well there's that, too :-). There were just so many things wrong with the EA version ..... I don't understand how they pushed that out to us!
@JoAnne65 I didn't change any of that at all but my experience with roommates is that they are lazy, don't clean, break stuff ALL THE TIME and generally come and go as they please.
It's evidently not how much you use, but how much you have installed in your game, from what I gather. CC includes store items. The "workaround" is to remove the DC Cache folder while you export - which means CAW won't export the CC with the world, so the file is smaller.
Agree! I had the idea to make a mod where Sims can go to "skill classes" and yoga or workout was one of them ... but didn't know how to proceed! (I have written 2 mods but didn't know what to do with this one!)
I took about for about a week, it's exhausting! I got to a point where EIG mode is taking 30 minutes to save and Exporting has failed, which someone has said means I have too much custom content in my game so I have to work around it. I got kind of "scared" so I took a break, haha. It sounded tedious. I still have several…
EDIT: Of course now, after stating for the 3rd time that I have multiple old CDs, they were able to do it ... hm... Finally downloading! 10.08 GB ... should take a while on my 3 Mbps DSL connection :-O
A rep I'm chatting with right now claims he can't generate new TS2 codes and hasn't been able to for over a year. Should I maybe just close and try again?!
Just chatting with a rep now, I owned most of the games. They claim they can't generate any more codes as of A YEAR AGO! Then how did people get them last week? EDIT: EA is shady (of course). They claim the code can't be generated yet then they can do it. Currently downloading 10.08 GB ... will take a while on my slow DSL…
I've been experiencing this recently, downloading houses for a custom world I'm making. If you don't install the CC, it'll choose something suitable but depending on what its purpose was, the house might look really dumb with out! I downloaded a cute-looking Scandinavian house and didn't think the custom windows or…
Giddyup, there -- okay, that one just sounds silly! I have no clue what would happen with my mod while travelling, because, well I didn't think you could travel with pets! If you did try to use it there, it would probably work as intended, except that when you left, the horse would too (I assume so), because the horse…
More pictures... Now that I see that picture, I actually really hate the color scheme of those cabinets ^ I thought this was clever, it's the 2nd floor of the lobby from the main floor. But I actually made it a little sun patio type room from one of the condo units - there's a door that links it to the dining room of the…
I didn't make it yet, we'll see! And agree with the decor items ... I was on the phone for about an hour, so it was a nice distraction! The problem with this 64x64 lot is I spent so much time on both separate buildings and only 1 of them will be used at a time. Trying to decide how many hidden markers to place. Maybe I'll…
Started decorating a unit in one of the buildings ... spent about 3.5 hours tonight! Pool in the common area of the building I should start a Tumblr I guess, LOL. I like to share these pictures! I feel like we spend so much time designing stuff, and then I have no one to show it off to! This is why CAW takes so long ...…
I was excited/surprised to wake up and see 14 notifications on this thread, LOL! But interesting posts nonetheless. My world is based on the city/suburbs of Allentown, PA (Pennsylvania). About 60 miles north of Philadelphia. My world is called Allentown and all of the streets are named after actual streets. It's actually a…
Okay so I just spent the past 4 hours working on a 64x64 lot. It turned into a sort of apartment/condo complex: Here's a bunch of community lots I placed close together so they look like one: (this was not today!) I knew this was going to be the "painful" (yet fun!) part of CAW. Spending hours and hours building lots! But…
Deeds are tied to individual households, not a specific Sim. I'm not sure what happens if everyone in the household dies - perhaps the ownership would go back to not being owned by anybody. If you change active households, the household that bought the property is still the owner. I know this because I've done some fancy…
@TadOlson : That's odd, I was able to download it right away in Chrome. What town buildings do you think are missing? Any rabbit holes? There is definitely one thing I do still want to build. There are two 64x64 lots where I wanted to build an apartment "complex" of sorts. I already built the parking lots. I would probably…
Well, I've reached a point where I'm kind of out of ideas / don't know what buildings exactly are missing, etc. If anyone wants to test it out, here's a link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/f08w33hdaecgyep/Allentown%7B1%7D.Sims3Pack?dl=0
