By the way, do you use mods to have this many sims in one household? Does having all the girls there make your game lag heaps? I have MasterController and always wanted to use more than 8 sims, but I've heard that people have issues with their game performance.
@FawnFox thanks! I use three mods for this challenge. One is the relationship panel which basically scores the sim's relationship. It's nice because you just can't tell with the green bar in the relationship panel.
Anyway, to answer your real question, (I thought you might be interested in the above mod lol) I use Nraas master controller and portrait panel. What portrait panel does is unlock it so that your game can hold up to 24 sims in one household. The problem with this is that it only allows you to have 24 sims in the house, it doesn't unlock it for CAS. In CAS you can still only create eight sims. So, to get this mod to work as it's supposed to, I suggest making two households. You add one to the house you'll be using and then add the other household in a random lot. Start the game with your main household and then click the ground. This is where master controller comes in. You click Nraas and then add a sim to your household. You can then add the extra sims to your household from there But in order to do this you need to have portrait panel installed!
As for lag, I think anything above 15 will cause some serious lag and issues in the game. I have 15 now (13 contestants and Ambrose and Kiwi) and the save file glitched. Every time I loaded it, it would freeze within minutes, rendering it unplayable. I was able to move them over to a save file which works fine, but I don't think this would have been an issue if there weren't so many sims in the household. I haven't had any other problems with the mod though, in fact I think it works fine for up to 12 sims. 15 is ok, but anything above that I'm sure will cause some serious lag.
Cerise, jeez, what happened? She was so far up with him and now she's so close to the bottom. I wish I could just tell her to talk to him more, but that just can't happen.
@Tigerblu11 Cerise is quite the character lol. But really, no one talks to Ambrose in the house, like ever. It's pretty sad becauses its a BC LOL. That's why the relationship scores are all so low.
@legendofsim
I am sorry to see Amnesty have to go.
Alayziah you need to get it together, time is running out for you! I know you have it in you...... Where is that Romantic Sim I created! I enjoyed reading all of the episodes so far. thank you for the updates
Hey everyone, I'm running another story after the BC is over. So if any of you would like to participate in that, there are three spots open. I can extend spots if more people are interested. It is a murder mystery/escape/horror type story with a lot of drama. The master post is here on tumblr, but I'll probably post it on wordpress as well.
Ok thanks you guys, @FawnFox@Tigerblu11. I linked the post, so you can send me your apps on this thread or by message. Whichever you want. Just to confirm, you're both reserved for females ^_^ The application/things to fill out should be on the tumblr post. I ask so many questions on it so I can get to know your character to write for them. Anyways, theres no deadline for sims as of yet, but people have started sending them in.
