  • So, I made an attempt at creating a celebrity as well. But I must admit that I am not very good at this at all. I tried to make Alan Rickman: I fully understand if this doesn't qualify, I have entered with a quiz answer earlier in the thread. My origin id is: hrostedt Here is the link: Alan Rickman
  • As long as you install the game pack before the update hits you can have it without needing the terrain tools update. But as soon as the terrain tools update hits you will have to update in order to install anything.
  • -- You scored -- 68% By answering 17 out of 25 questions correctly This is higher than I'd expect given how few of the movies I have watched (or remember). Thanks for the giveaway.
  • Most script mods that are not abandoned can just be updated without any work needed by the modder. But with mods that are affected by the changes in the patch it is more complicated (this includes mccc and possibly other large mods). The issue right now is that we won't be able to properly look at the new code in order to…
  • The problem with script mods isn't that it is hard for the script modders to update the mods for python 3.7, in that regard it is just like any other update to the mod. The problems dealing with the patch is three fold: 1) There are the usual script changes created by any major patch. 2) All script mods need to be updated,…
  • The way I do the mod I need to replace every instance of "He/She", "his/her", etc. with "They", "their", etc. so if I where to change to using names it would be for all occurrences of one of "They", "their", "them", etc. And I don't believe that would be better, but might be wrong. To remove these issues with the texts I'd…
  • @Oldeseadogge The issue with this is that there are no established singular neutral personal pronoun in English. That is why I have chosen to use the singular They instead.
  • @paradiseplanet Yes, that is right. I was away from modding for about three years (After GTW) and updated everything a few weeks ago. I will continue updating now as I have the proper tools developed.
  • @Scumbumbo Although I really shouldn't be working on the sims, I have fallen down the rabbit hole again. I might be interested in looking into trying to fix the issues in uncompyle6. Although python is not my language of choice I do have knowledge about compilers and such.
  • @SimGuruModSquad If you still aren't willing to give us the uncompiled script sources, could you reconsider giving us the documentation? I am assuming that you generate documentation for internal use, and I can't see how it would be worse than giving us the TDESC's. Although I haven't delved much into script modding…
  • Although this thread is three years old, I want to inform anyone stumbling upon this through searches that a mod for this now exists. It is made by me and called Gender Less. It can be downloaded here.
  • @trinibabeegurl Hi, as far as I know there is no mod to have a particular sim be referred to as "they" (and my impression is that it likely isn't possible to do). However, I have recently created and released a mod that changes all pronouns to "they" and titles to gender neutral ones. If that is good enough, you can find…
  • The mod is no longer in beta, and is available on my site.
  • Yes, each CAS item has a option to make them unavailable in CAS, what my mod does is disabling that option for almost all items (depending on which files you install). For career outfits, the game disables the hide option on items as you are promoted, but most times they remain hidden whatever you do. You can think of my…
  • Oops, long time since I logged in here. I have been busy with other stuff and also lost interest in modding/tool making these last months. This is a very periodic thing for me and I have things I value higher. So I can not promise I will ever complete this project. This is off course a hobby for me and won't do anything…
  • Script mods are simply mods written in python (a programming language). They are packaged differently than other mods and behave somewhat differently as well. The most important difference for a mod user is that they are installed as a .zip file and must be enabled in the settings. They pose significantly higher security…
  • Script mods apparently only works directly in the mods folder and one level deep. This can not be changed in the Resource.cfg file.
  • Yeah, I that is on my list, but thanks for reminding me about enabling script mods, I'd likely add settings management to such a tool, so it might just as well enable script mods automatically when those are installed. I have thought about this and some other stuff that require special files, and I think that the best way…
  • You have likely installed a tool that changes the displayed name of the file type. This doesn't change any of the files and will not cause any problems.
  • @SimGuruModSquad okey, now I actually have a proper problem. In the combined tuning there are "PackedXmlNode" objects, they have a "children" field which is an object reference. The problem I am having is that I do not know how to determine how many children there are, in my implementation now there is only one child per…
  • @SimGuruModSquad so I looked through the file a bit, and found a table with the data type Object. These usually have a schema attached to them that describes the structure. But these tables have the null offset for these. Does this mean that they are tables of references to existing objects? If this is true, are the…
  • Thank you for looking into it, it is good to know that there isn't a problem with the files. I will look into it some more and see if I can fix it. Otherwise I will point out my problem.
  • @SimGuruModSquad Hi I my intentions is to create a tool that extracts the tunings directly from the binary files from the game. I just ran the file through my simdata reader a while back, and it didn't parse it properly. My tools are incomplete, so I think the problem lies there somewhere. But I thought I might just ask if…
  • I don't know if anyone has looked at this thread and is using my files, but as a bug was found (that I think I might have fixed) I though I should post a link to my updated files. They can be found here: https://fogity.wordpress.com/extracted-tuning/
  • Thought I might mention that I have extracted the tuning from the combined tuning using my own tools. Please look through them and see that everything is correct before using it in a mod, I have not done any tuning modding myself. Here is the link:…
  • Thank you very much, this is very useful.
  • @MadameButterfly Well, he wouldn't need to complete a bugfix in order to acknowledge that there is a problem and announce that he will try to fix it. So just wait as long as you feel is proper. It is best for everyone if he updates his tool when he is able. Although another programmer could look into it themselves due to…
  • It is my personal tool, it does not have the functionality of velocitygrass's tool. I could develop it to add the functionality, but I trust that velocitygrass is able to fix his tool long before I will ever be done with mine. But if he disappears or abandons the tool feel free to contact me.
  • I have looked at the thread over at MTS and it is quite obvious that "quot" means quotation marks, which I already knew. When looking at what has been posted there it is quite obvious to me that there is some sort of bug in his code. The phrase "quot" doesn't even appear in the official file. So again, ask velocitygrass to…
  • For you having problems, a very important thing to include is whether or not you have been using the tool by velocitygrass. The example code you have posted all looks well formatted, which leads me to believe that those are produced by that tool. As I know that the tool processes the file quite a bit I feel it is just as…
