    I would like to use the games default settings, how can I turn off mc command centers settings for ages?
    Age percentages in the population module are by default set to what the game would normally do.

    ok I thought long age span was longer than
    2 Baby
    13 Child
    13 Teen
    20 YA Adult
    20 Adult
    10 Elder

    Hi guys, which script do I need to use to stop culling and leave the dead sims urn/gravestone so that I can put it in a cemetery that I created?

    How do I stop townies from randomly moving into empty lots?

  • Pegasus143Pegasus143 Posts: 2,490 Member
    @CrazyboutTheSims Oh, you were talking about age spans and not the chance that a generated sim will be the certain age? Either way, the same answer still applies- most default settings in the mod mimick the game's mod-free behavior.
  • Pegasus143Pegasus143 Posts: 2,490 Member
    @FriedCawfee You'll need the main module for any other modules to work. Relationship culling is in the main module and sim culling is in the population module.
    If you don't want townies to move into a specific lot, enter build/buy mode on that lot and enter "0" in as the number of bedrooms.
    If you don't want townies to move to any lot, change the OpenHouses setting (in Population module) to a number higher than the number of residential lots in your game.
    Urn/gravestone generation should always happen if the death occurs on the active lot. If a sim dies but is not on the active lot at the time of death, they will not get an urn/tombstone. The best way to make sure that you get an urn/tombstone for your sim is to turn aging off for them before rotating to another household once their age bar starts sparkling as an elder.

    @babybabybel Can you provide more information? What exactly "isn't working"?
  • itsugitsug Posts: 1,613 Member
    Here is a small howto on finding out if you have problems with MC CMD or if there is something else with your game acting up.
    Pasted from mts comments.
    Instead of asking @Deaderpool to try your stuff, you can easily simulate a fresh game with only MC CMD in it.
    • Rename your sims 4 folder in documents. - This is the folder you have your saves in.
    • Launch the game - You will have a fresh unmodded game, and the best way to start of is making it all anew.
    • Exit the game - You now have a new mods folder, clean of any mods you had previously.
    • Download the latest MC CMD. (and if you want to, also the new MC Woohoo module) - DO NOT put the zipped file in your mods folder.
    • Unpack your newly downloaded MC CMD - Unpack it in the sims 4\mods\MCCMD
    • See if the stuff you tried previously and didnt work, work. - Try it out. If whatever you were trying, works, then it is not down to MC CMD, and you can save both @Egwarhammer and @Deaderpool tons of work, and let them actually get to some simming. :)
    You can also from this point see if you yourself can find out which mod is conflicting, or whatever it might be by copying some of your content in, try again, if it still works, rince and repeat.

    Oh and if requested, I will try to make this post more detailed once I get home, or make a document with screenshots.

    help the mods show up at the start of the game, but when I click in the computer and the sims, the option for it doesn't show up

    Deaderpool keeps sending people to Troubleshooting (bottom of the mod description page) or to the Troubleshooting PDF. Install steps have not changed.

    GAME CODE has changed. ANY file you have from before the 1.24 patch needs attention. Take it OUT until you've checked for an updated version OR verification that what you have still works.

    Script mods are VERY likely not to work. UI Mods will not work. CC COULD cause problems. They are ALL files. If it isn't FROM the game, I'd be suspicious of it after ANY patch, really.

    Start fresh. Save your game to your desktop. Take out ALL your other /Mods files but Resource.cfg and your /MC folder.

    MC is my foundation. I load it FIRST. Alone. And rebuild my mods and cc folders from that point. If something else isn't going to play nice with MC, I don't play with it at all. Period. For what little time I've gotten to play since the EP, my MC is working fine. I have that, Show Sim Info, and a blur mod in. 3 things. That's it. I haven't had time to do any groundwork on the other things, so they're all still sitting on my desktop. Meh.

    Run the game. See what happens. If it works, let us know.

    If it doesn't work, check your /Sims4 folder for LastException Files and your mc_cmd_center.log file for any more information. We need those.

    Is there a mod that will allow to set particular outfits for all townies? I am doing a decades challenge and i would prefer to have all townies wear suitable clothes.

    MC's Dresser. Set up and Save whatever Outfits you want townies to spawn in. Dresser has a Setting, Only Use Saved Outfits. If "suitable clothes" are all you have saved in your mc_dresser.cfg file, and you enable that setting, those outfits are what you should see them spawn in.

    Dresser tip: to Whitelist, Blacklist or Save items in less time, put a group of same-gender sims together. YA covers teen, YA and adult clothing options. 8 YA females, 8 YA males. You can then age them up to Elder to fix those outfits, and I'd think 7 of them (leave one YA/A/E, I mean) you could age back down to child.

    It'll take some doing, and some time, but it will work if it's something you're interested in looking into.

    @egwarhammer i was sure i saw this option in mc dresser before but recently i could not figure it out somehow. I will check it later today and ping you if i'm struggling:D

    Ok 1 question already - does it mean i have to set outfits via whitelisting and blacklisting only?

    NO. If you do the 8 sims thing... put EIGHT outfits together from hat to shoes. Whatever you want.

    You can use Outfit Commands to SAVE the entire Outfit, and if you do a CAS blitz and load 8 sims with 6 categories with 5 slots each... you can pretty much do whatever you want, and save all of them back in live play.

    It's a one by one process. The clown parts blacklist took me the better part of a day to do, and it was about 185 lines long. How long it takes depends on how many different outfits per category you want them to have for choices. Different process than black/whitelisting, but, seat time will be involved.

    It'll be really cool once it's done, though. ;) Grab a snack and a drink. LOL!

    Ok thanks! Do you possibly have a manual somewhere? A few days ago i went into mccc into Use only saved outfits option but it did not give me anything else than whitelisting and blacklisting. How do i save outfits to cfg file?

    @egwarhammer to continue our diacussion from the other thread :) i know you have a lot on your shoulders recently so no rush with it ;)

    Outfit Commands.

    And I'm going to tell you what a space cadet I am... opened my game this morning to take those pictures... played some (got distracted, no pictures other than play screenshots)... went to bed.

    Fresh from probably not enough sleep, loaded the game tonight JUST to grab those menus for you. :smiley:

    OFF Topic and Personal, but I want you guys to know. Heard from mom last night. We have decades-old issues I'm not going to go into here, but we don't talk too terribly often. (I hate phones. :smiley: She's not online. We don't move in the same circles.)

    She called yesterday, I was asleep, she talked to hubby. The trailer I grew up in, where she still lived, burned to the ground. Here's the thing, though, it was TWO WEEKS AGO. She called her older brother (the lawyer) THEN, and only called us now because she just found our number in her purse, which was the only thing she saved.

    She, hubby and dog are all fine. And I spent last night trying to figure out how I felt about it. I still don't know. I still haven't called her back, obviously there's no rush. Honestly, how I feel is tipping toward "angry." Not thrilled at all with her for OTHER reasons, and this added a(nother) layer of "red headed stepchild" syndrome to an already overly-complicated relationship.

    I was really glad to get to work last night. I know how to do THAT. Some RL things, notsomuch.

    PMs welcome... please don't blow up the thread with off topic responses, I just wanted to share, really, my best way to get to more of my friends at once. ;) (Yep, pulling rank. My thread, I can be off topic. LOL!! RHIP. :p )

    <3 you guys! :)

    ok I thought long age span was longer than
    2 Baby
    13 Child
    13 Teen
    20 YA Adult
    20 Adult
    10 Elder
    and I set it to long doesn't seem right

    In your settings file, those are the numbers you see, and that's what you see if you use NORMAL age span. On short, divide the numbers by 2. Using 20, Adult is 10 days in Short. For long, multiply those numbers by 4. Adult is 80 days in Long. You WILL see this info displayed correctly in the game, on sims aging bars and on MC's Sim menus.

    Welcome to the forums! Possibly you don't have the 2 green Mods boxes checked in the GAME's Game Options menu?

    Look through the Troubleshooter PDF. There's details and pictures on that. Happens after every update to several simmers.

    (People don't pay enough attention to what they're clicking through. People don't read much, either. Cheerleader's a little jaded. LOL!)

    For those who didn't keep the PDF file, and for those who have signature files disabled here, here's where the Troubleshooter lives. (Update incoming, but honestly I haven't even started on it yet. Duh, right? :blush: )

    Okay I have to share this... there's a post on MC from a guy who told an old coder friend about Deaderpool.

    Dude went out and bought Sims4 JUST to be able to check out the mod.

    I thought that was a Very cool thing. ;)

    thank you! :)

    It's two separate settings. Under Pregnancy's main menu, there are both Pregnancy and Marriage submenus. You'll want to find the Pregnancy Percent Adjustment setting (I don't have time to load the game to get the whole path right now, sorry) and the Marriage Percent Adjustment setting.

    Range on both is -100 to 100, default 0. -100 in each will disable them for you.

    Unwanted pregnancies can be ended with MC, too.

    And marriages can be "worked around" but that's too detailed for me to go into right now. Forget Sim plays a part, though. ;)

    I'm pretty much asking everybody this right now... are you running the CL patch (1.24) and the MC version 3.0.1 (files dated Oct 30)?

    Trying to get everybody on the same page. It's been difficult, since the patch.

    Edit, fixed ()

    TinyPic must be down... again...? My sig pic isn't showing either, or things in other posts.

    To add to @egwarhammers question.
    Updating one without updating the other, regardless of which you update, is BAD and will NOT WORK!
    So Before you post about the mod not working, game crashes etc. make sure you have both the game, and the mod updated.
    (If you have the unmentionable mod as well, make sure that one is up to date as well).

    FAQ Section!
    Q: I have version 1.20 of the game and 3.0.1 of the mod, what do I do?
    A: Update your game.

    Q: Is there any way to get a hold of older versions of the mod?
    A: No, update your game.

    EDIT and abit OT: @egwarhammer I had a reply sent back to me on mts, but Im on a borrowed laptop that seems to not let me log in to mts (cookie problem obviously but cant do anything about it) for another few hrs.
    Mind answering the guy/girl about the cfg files, if you havent already done so? :)
