    is there an option to change babies last name to father's instead of mother's?

    I don't think so if the mother and father have different surnames. This is what it says on his website which explains all the settings:
    MC Pregnancy > Pregnancy_SyncChildSurname: If enabled, when a child is adopted through MC Pregnancy or their parent marries another Sims through the random marriage process, their last name will be synced with the parents. There are some rules to this: 1) If it's an adoption and the 'Rename Non-Active Adoptions' setting is used and is valid for the child, then automatic renaming won't happen as the player has chosen to use manual renaming instead. Also, both parents have to already have the same surname or no rename will occur. 2) If it's a marriage, the renaming only happens if: the parents move into the same household as a result of the marriage and the child lives in the same household, and the parents both end-up with the same last name based on MC Marriage last name rules.

    it might work in full edit cas. my sims are rule breakers so i tried it a few times. i don't know about the latest version of mc but thats how i did it before.

    No, no automatic option like the sync child surname in MCCC. You have to do it manually in CAS in fulledit mode.

    I want to install MC Settings Profiler, but all the guides I've looked at seem to be for Windows only. Could any other Mac users please help me?

    hello
    i would like you to help me..
    i have two elder "immortal" sims that i want them to die - and when they die, after the grim reaper comes and leaves, they are ''dead'' and there are tombstone or urn, but in the relationships panel they are shown as alive sims and if i invite them over they come as usual. I tried to kill them with mc command (maintain--->kill) and it also didn't work. I am really frustrated, its necessary for my storyline :(
    they don't have any flags or something like that.
    anything i did didn't help or solve it.
    What should i do?

    Can someone help me please?

    @Shira3000 - Hi! Not sure if I will be of any help, but I'll try. What do you mean by "immortal"? If they're vampires and truly immortal, I'm pretty sure that you can't kill them using the MC Command (maintain > kill) because they're marked in game as immortal. I think I ran into this when I wanted to kill a vampire using this method. The best thing to do is to humanize them using MC, and then do the (maintain >kill). They should die at that point.

    Save your Mods folder, too, if you use mods and/or cc.

    Have a look at crinrict's backup explanation and tutorial:
    https://sims4.crinrict.com/eng/2014/09/backups/

    Also her game reset tutorial might be helpful in your case regarding your broken GP:
    https://sims4.crinrict.com/eng/2014/09/resetting-the-game-to-factory-settings-without-reinstalling/
    This also works for data transfer to new installations.

    I see in the MCCC instructions how it talks about letting only "tagged" households be imported for populating neighborhood. How do you even tag them? I don't see anything in "My Saved" bin in Gallery section.

    This is what it says on Deaderpool's Tumblr:
    This setting will allow filtering the households selected to replace randomly generated Sims by a tag in the description of the households. The default setting is 'Disabled' and will not read the description of the household from the gallery, which provides a little bit faster processing time at the cost of some flexibility of the player. Choosing 'Limit Bypass Tags' will not import a random Sim from a household with '#mccc_bypass' within the description. Choosing 'Only Include Tags' will bypass any household that does not include '#mccc_include' in the description when replacing a random Sim. Households for either setting will still show-up on copy/paste import Sim menus since the player has a choice on those menus. The player has to manually select households and Sims from that menu before they will be pasted into the game

    This means you can include a hastag (see bold above) in the description field of a Sim in your library on the gallery to either include it in the import or bypass it when the mod imports Sims from your tray.

    Hi.
    Has anyone complained about any problems they might have had with MCCC/Woohoo and University?

    I have this mysterious problem and i'd like to know which settings to change so i can play my game.

    First..Cameron Fletcher (or whatever his name) and Julia and Becca were suddenly kicked out of my game. They were "not in any world". And even more strange, they didn't have any names! What i mean is usually when you go to check your households in the "manage the households" all the families/sims have a name above their picture (Goths, Pancakes, Bjergsen etc etc) but they had none.
    Then when i added them back into my game and tried to enroll them into Uni, the option was unavailable. I've read that sim can't enroll in 5 days if he/she drops out or graduates? Well, it's been over 2 sim weeks and nothing...

    All of the three sims had already graduated..but i read that you can go back as many times as you want??

    Well, i tried the cheat where you shift-click your sim and use the cheat there to enroll. All i got was lastException each time. I could choose the uni i wanted and everything but when i tried to play with those sims, they still weren't students!

    I have flagged the sims though...which made me think maybe one/two of them is preventing them?

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you!

    No, nothing heard of a similiar issue so far. As of today there are no University cheats in MCCC. DP has plans to implement some of the features which are available for modding. I don't know when and what kind of uni related commands and settings will be available in MCCC.

    I decided to download the MCCC last night and when I started my game again, I got a big oranged notification on the message board about a "conflict' It said that it might be related to broken CC or a broken mod but I have no idea how to find it. I was directed to the discord server but I couldn't find anything that answered my question. If someone could help, I'd really appreciate it as I've been wanting to try this out for a while.

    I just found the information on Deaderpool's Tumblr. What I was getting was a Last Exception notice but there are details on how to troubleshoot it so I will try those.

    I have an issue finding the "ancestral" option in sim flags.. looked everywhere :P I want to change the Goth family to an ancestral household, and also the Landgraabs' and Calientes'. Can anyone help me find it?
  • VYXVYX Posts: 19 Member
    @midnight5790 you can go to tumblr for maxis match CC (maxismatchccworld's great and easy to navigate and all of the creators featured doesn't use paysites, so ads-free) and modthesims if you want mods in general.

    @Fiddeliz - Hi! When you go to your active household, make sure you have testing cheats enabled and then type 'MCCC Bella Goth' (or whatever Sim name you want to be ancestral). This will bring up the MC menu for that Sim. Go to Sim Flags, select MC Population & then select Flag Household as Ancestral. This will flag the entire household as ancestral, so you only need to pick one member of the household to do this with.

    What significance is the ancestral designation, if you please?

    @GalacticGal - Hi! I hope you don't mind me responding. I was on here and saw your question and thought I'd chime in. Here's the link to Ancestral Home Details on Deaderpool's Tumblr page: https://deaderpool-mccc.com/#/doc/mc_population

    Basically, if you flag a household like the Goths as 'ancestral' there would be Goth's as long as possible in the game. In my current Save, I flagged the Landgraab's as ancestral.....and I'm on Gen 5 or something, and there's still Landgraab's in my game. Personally, I like the ancestral designation, as I like to see my favorite NPC families stick around (as I'm generational player). I didn't flag the Caliente's or the Lothario's and the family lineage died off, so now there are none in my game.
