I've been playing and checking out Once/Isle all evening and I love it. I'll post an update in your thread, but I wanted to let DD know that when I was playing last week, I never saw any of the visual effects from the tablet so I kept meaning to take out OW and see what would happen. I never did, though. Funny thing is that while playing Once/Isle my sim was autonomously learning logic and fishing while reading recipe books at the same time, and I saw the visual effects. So I'm wondering if it's a bug that causes the effects to not show up sometimes and not twallan's mod at all. :?
Just checked to make sure - it's OW version 61 that I downloaded on May 9th.
And now for a couple of pics of Rflongs Once/Isle ice cream sandwich club. A good time was had by all.
Where are we going, and why am I in this hand basket?!
Tangie, the animations could be seen on the tablet when a sim first started to use it, it was that they couldn't then proceed to do anything else without the tabcast ceasing with the cleanup skill modifier set to true in Overwatch. No need to remove the mod, just try changing that setting to false. Actually, version 62 has been released and I'm getting ready to put it in and play. I'll leave the cleanup skill modifier at true to see if the tablet works correctly. It doesn't look by the revision notes that anything was done with that particular bit of coding. It's easy to change it to false, if there is still a problem.
I'm going back to my HS game for just a bit to see if the patch for store content really did fix animations for spell book and fountain. I've got both items on the Hidden Gardens lot so will just delete and replace them to see how they work now.
And someone hold my hand... I'm patching to 1.33 :shock:
Here's a hand Rflong - hope it goes well.
Everyone this site if going totally down for seversal hours - EA said at 4pm PST - so just dropping a heads up before I go back to reinstalling rest of my stuff.
Thanks everyone.

My launcher has notified me every time I've opened it that there's a Store update. I keep telling it to update and it still says it does... I even checked Origin. Oh, well.
Well back to installing.

Rflong, hope you are enjoying Showtime. I'll be glad to host a sim for you and wouldn't mind if you host some of mine. Gads, I haven't had anyone send or receive a sim in well over a week. I was trying not to resort to unlocking the content with the mod but just might have any choice, LOL.
JM has been quiet, so has anyone else updated HS and played it since Pets? I've had two lengthy freezes since I updated and both times it was because of the Unicorn. Now, in addition to materializing in the water on Louie Falls and being stuck, his second appearance was in the rocks behind it, pic at end of post. :shock:
I wondered if anyone else has run into the same problem and if so, how did you solve it? I changed Hidden Gardens to a fishing spot and after the rock thing, I've now changed Louie Falls from a fishing spot to a small park but I'm not sure that is going to work since Louie Falls was the lot for the original spawning point.
Since I don't have much experience with the Pets EP, can anyone tell me if I can successfully coerce the unicorn to spawn elsewhere? I don't want to start this game over, if I can avoid it and don't want to blast the lot to oblivion either since it's the base of the waterfall. Suggestions appreciated, or even sympathy for the dilemma
However, I think that the issue here is probably that those rocks are CAW rocks on a game Lot. They aren't the same rocks that we can use in-game, are they?
I suppose that the routing inside of CAW objects (rocks) on top of game lots is not taken into account? Is that right or wrong? I'm just guessing there...
You should try waiting until another night for the Unicorn to show up again, and see if they spawn in the same location!
Have fun with Pets!
Anyways, I was just thinking about this thread, and I realized that I've never really shared any of my progress with you guys in my world, Castle Point! I suppose I'll have to share some things and photos with you guys, since you're always doing it, too! I mean, that is the purpose of this thread... But to save spam space, I'll just post a link to one of my threads!
I'm going to use this tomb as the final tomb of the world!
The Peace Gardens
Hopefully I'll get some pics out as I make more progress on the world
Originalsim posted a spanish style house on the "That's Entertainment" thread that I was drooling over. I will have to see that one in-game! I'm still working on my modern monstrosity but it's taking forever. Hey, maybe that's what I should call it. I've been trying to think of a name! No doubt someone else has already thought of that, though.
Rukaya's sim Kiana is helping me test and build at the same time because I'm in a hurry to finish this darn thing. Plus, she was the only sim in my library that had gobs of simoleons.
Where are we going, and why am I in this hand basket?!
I meant it's a part of this thread, not the purpose of this thread! :oops:
Sorry... :oops:
So I checked out Rflong's Once Upon an Isle world (absolutely flawless and gorgeous world!), and I looked at the woodlands area and I got a great idea for some characters to make for that section!
I've finished the first character! He took me several hours to make, but I'm proud of the results!
Guess who this is!
8) He's really adorable in-game!
Winnie the Pooh
I also uploaded his coat to the Exchange, so you can turn any dog into a shirt-wearing dog!
The Doggie Shirt!
I'm trying to make Piglet right now. I'm not really sure where to go on from there, though.
But I did make another character. Well, not really a character, but they go right into the theme of the world! It's a robot toy dog, to live with Santa in the snowy cabin!
He's adorable! The cutest part was, I just let the dog wander around the world, and guess who the very first new Sim he ran into was!
Uh, oh! There's a leak in the forums! People are posting in the Welcome section!
The last time I played, I did play HS and I was very keenly interested in your observations about the unicorn, DD. I have experienced sudden freezes and lags, and I had no idea what had caused them. Now I will know where to look and will report back.
Yay....DM, so glad to hear your wife is enjoying the game! I do hope she is progressing well in her recovery and just having fun. And you, too.
When I played last, I was just messing around, trying to skill up a sim. I made her really awful and naughty. Dragging guys into hot tubs, wrecking relationships, arguing and insulting people...just wreaking the kind of havoc I normally do not wreak when I am playing seriously. I'd been intrigued when RFlong had that inappropriate sim so I made my sim inappropriate, too, and it's a fun trait! She had a blast with Bun's handsome redhaired guy sim. He's a nice looking fella! He was one of her boyfriends. And he was the one who was the most hopping mad and fought with her when she flirted with another guy in front of him at the gym. Ahh...fun times! He was a real firecracker!
But now I have to return to my REAL game so I have to wipe out her memories of mayhem and destruction, adjust her traits to be a more normal upstanding citizen...and do the same for Bun. I renamed him "Ben Lunar" since he was named Lunar BunBunnyny and that was just kind of an odd name for guy. Not that Ben Lunar is exactly run of the mill...but...
Welcome WR! So GREAT to see you post here. I hope you make a habit of it! And unfortunately this may be all I get to post for a bit. I've got another monster week ahead of me. I appreciated the get well wishes, Tangie. Now I just have allergies to deal with. I can go back on my allergy meds now that I don't need the flu meds, so hopefully I'll be back to normal soon. My daughter is heavily scheduled next week so I will be, too, unfortunately. Today might be the only time I get for sims for another week. :?
I didn't realize we have a new patch. I better check on that, too. And oh boy...crystals, yay...thanks for the link!
JM that is too sad about what your Dad said. As a mom and grandma, I am always happy to get cards, notes , letters whether by snail mail or e-mail from my children, and grandchildren. It means a lot that they take the time from their very busy lives and send me such thoughtful remembrances. He reminds me of my late father. He was extremely hard to please.
Bun your little dogs are so very cute. Nice pictures. Tangie looking forward to your modern house. Is that Spanish house cc free? Now that I finished playing MV, I have to decide whether to finish my game in Storybrook county or go back to LA-ST and resume my game there.
Is there any limit as to how many sims you can store in CAS?
Yeah... I just come up with the first thing that comes to mind when naming my Sims! Sorry about that!
The crystals are now available in the Store from the Lunar Lakes link. The Tree of Prosperity has also apparently been given its own info page on the PC list! I'm not sure if it's available for individual sale because I already have it, but it is given a SimPoint Price!
Anyways, I've been reconsidering the Apocalypse Challenge... It's just really hard because:
A) I keep getting confused to what I can and cannot do because the list is SO long, and...
They always spawn at waterfalls - and if there is no waterfall, then they spawn at usually the most remote lake or pond - preferably not on a lot, but they will even choose a lot if they can't find a lake or pond remote enough.
They might create a little lag until they get out of their dilemna, which is the one you can ignor, as they will safely get out of it.
Your biggest worry is the babies of Unicorns and horses, as they generally can't teleport, do get stuck, and generally can't climb stairs either like all babies. I am not positive about the baby Unicorns though as I have not seen a purebred one to be sure.

Oh, Goodness- I hope it starts working well for you, WR.
And any help for me here from all you creative people...

I'm trying to make a smaller version of the board game world (only a lot).
I'm not worried about the Unicorn's safety, WR, but am not happy at where it is spawning. Bun, I do think those are CAW rocks, btw. There isn't any way to interact with it when it's always in a location where it's stuck. While in the rocks, not visible at all and while stuck in the water, both it and the sim just kept throwing route fail, can't even watch it without the action dropping.
I went back into GFH last night and Kevin Red Star is now a singer. Be on the lookout, he will be available for tours soon, LOL. He needs to improve somewhat, illustrated below
Performing sing-a-gram for GW in the library, Kevin manages to fall on his rear end.
His next sing-a-gram was for Alistair MacLean and ooops, repeat of no grace involved fall, yet again. GW in the background wondered if Kevin should seek a new career
Aha! Snatched from the jaws of defeat, Kevin goes on to win the SimFest :shock:
Gosh Rflong, I ran off to read your thread. As usual I am amazed at all your creativity! No suggestions come to mind right now but I'll see if I can come up with something.
Still working on the house. Updated exterior shots:
I love the premium content tablet. I love being able to purchase books with it and reading anything in the sim's inventory on it; also love that they can multi-task by listening to tabcasts while playing pool or whatever. Here's Kiana playing what looks to me like it might be Sims Social.
Where are we going, and why am I in this hand basket?!
I hope you all have a great weekend.
Oh my goodness WR I am so sorry to hear the lightning strike took out your internet. That must have been a horrible storm. I am worried what the summer weather is going to be like this year since we already have fireflies. :shock: I always associate fireflies with summer. I don't think in my whole life I have ever seen them in the spring. Ever.
Thank you for letting us know more about the unicorns. I've not seen one yet and didn't know anything about them at all. Some aspects of the Pets EP I just prefer not to delve into. Unicorns and their psi powers is one of them!
Rukaya thanks for your comments. I'm glad to know that I wasn't doing anything wrong. Sometimes one generation will do something that seems terribly tacky to another generation, especially in regards to technology. I am glad to hear from your perspective that holiday picture cards are not offensive, since you are in the same age range as my mom and dad. My in-laws also like the picture cards and proudly display them. Oh well if Hallmark is what it takes, Hallmark is what I will try and give them. No biggie.
And Rukaya I've followed your lead and now I use the Cheat codes to give my favorite sims a head start on desirable traits. I use the Speedy Cleaning one and I've also started using steel bladder to avoid the problem of public puddles for the sims I am not playing! :P
In other news, our oldest cat and our only male, whom I hand raised from his birth, passed away yesterday. He was 17. We are very sad but he was not ill, did not linger and enjoyed life right up to the day before. He had made friends with Gabby and we had plans of reintegrating him with the rest of the household, but then he just died suddenly. We think it was a heart attack. Now Meatball is the last of the cats left from the beginning of our marriage. We now call her "Betty White" because she's our last Golden Girl and very dear to us.
I'm going to get to play a little bit tonight. I'm afraid I did get addicted to playing a naughty troublemaker so I'm just going ahead and do that, and see what trouble my sim can stir up with Ben Lunar again in my REAL game! Whooooo!
