Yep the kid is awesome, but it's been 2 yrs since I was doing stuff with S4. I had a massive mod set ready to release but then people would be mad when I didn't keep up with patches. So now I'm having to go back through the whole thing doing sometimes substantial rewrites. Nice to be back in the thick of things again, even…
There's pretty much just the one forum that is appropriate for asking the q, and if nobody else is on a similar topic, I don't want to hijack someone's thread.
@SimGuruModSquad: I now have custom buffs that don't work... a couple weeks ago, they worked brilliantly. Now they don't. I compared the base XML files I used as a base for modifications before- and after-patch, and there are no differences. The alterations I had made aren't anything that should cause a problem either,…
Yes, I had already found all those choices. Although it seems the Hates Children replacements are a great example of buffs that don't seem to have loot actions to get them, that's all tied up in the basic extra for pregnancy or the sim object state or something... I don't know, searching for where one of those buffs is…
Nevermind, figured it out (hangs head). One of them had an error, which threw off both of them it seems. Also, testing one at a time doesn't work (bed and sit separately), they seem to need each other.
I'm getting more and more confused... I included in my package the mixer_social_BedIntimate_TryForBaby_targeted_romance_HighScore but with the whole thing commented out. And they still not only got the option to TFB, but performed the whole sequence and everything (she even got pregnant).
So it turns out socialMixers_BedIntimate_Romance doesn't control the choices from the BedIntimate posture. I commented out both Woohoo and TryForBaby in that file, and the options were both still there, and when selected carried through to the end with no problem. Which now makes me very confused why that file even…
I created a flowchart reference for all the files for woohoo and tryforbaby (and a bunch of files related like pickers, pickedsim, filters, testsets, etc) so that I could make sure to catch all the interconnected bits and also more easily figure out which file was causing any given failure. FYI the…
Haven't had a chance to try Eugi's last suggestion yet, been out of town. Category's untouched. And my pie menu interaction shows up on a select-sim interaction if they're standing (or whatever), just not from the intimate postures. It's really weird.
FWIW I agree with Inge. I find I can use the modding community (and other resources like the tdescs) for help with what certain coding language might mean. But when it comes to files that just aren't working the way they're expected, and I've tried everything I can think of, the SimGurus seem to be the only place to go.…
Sorry, 26140 is mixer_social_WooHoo_targeted_romance_transition, where my copy is working perfectly. 37393 is mixer_social_BedIntimate_WooHoo_targeted_romance_HighScore, which I also added to socialMixers_BedIntimate_Romance (30431). And I have the same problem with…
I feel like I've been seeing a lot of people agreeing on the no open world thing being a huge problem. And again, I get that you were trying to make the initial load faster, etc. BUT I have a friend with a really great gaming pc (so not just his machine), and he got his family up to like 6 or 7 sims tonight, and he says…
Let's start with the positive: Build mode is SO much better! Seriously, hats off. I also liked that there were requirements for promotion, that speaks to my play style very nicely. I notice people complaining about chasing negative emotions or how hard the emotion system was to work in (some loved the extra challenge,…
I think I've got the actual answer, and it's thanks to zyryx for pointing to the right location. Since I've been trying EVERYTHING people have suggested, and this was a new thing, I went into the Options file. I had poked around in there before, but to no avail. It was looking at the resolution line that did it (if you…
I have the same problem, exact same error. I have played this exact game with the first 5 expansions, no problem, custom content and everything. I recently got a new motherboard and processor, more ram... good stuff. And now I get this crap after I install. Doesn't matter if I install just the base game, or expansions.…
You could really play on any lot in any town, so long as it's an empty lot and you're left with only 1300 simoleons to start. And you can use a cheat to get $1300, I think it's: familyfunds [lastname] 1300
Yes, I've had the same issue as Draggonny. I FINALLY managed to get all my stuff except the Ultimate Career Bundle... I have been trying to download the UCB off and on since November 2010!! And I haven't seen EA post a solution once, even though there are many other people with the same problem.
Hallelujah, I got it to work! But like DarkZeblock, I'm not sure exactly how. I think what finally did it was switching to a different household, then copying the original household (with their house), demolishing the lot, then pasting them back in, save and re-enter the family. I sent a different sim from the household…
