  • It would appear the best option would be to freeze the age until the days passed match the sims initial days. Where would I go to do that in MCCC? I am going to start over with this family as I made a big blunder on my goals and is no real loss given the little time invested so far.
  • I wish I would have paid attention when I first created my sims to know if their age was show with a full 96 days as it stands right now their age is 6 days a part and no idea how many in game days I have played other than could be as many as 15 days. With that said I am thinking is there a way to edit their days remaining?
  • Thanks, that answers the variable starting age. Is there a way to figure out how many days have passed since created? Previously I would have taken the days of life stage minus the days remaining but since the days of life stage is variable I'm not seeing a way to figure this out. I don't even think there is a tool that…
  • Unfortunately changing the game time speed has all sorts of side effects on several of the other mods I used. For some reason it's like this: A sim minute is by default 25 intervals and by changing the time to go real time slower to a sim minute taking twice as long real time it becomes 50 intervals. The game appears to…
  • I had read that but didn't know if the resulting day and hours going back in time like that was a known issue and if it was that the change world time part was intended to compensate for it or not. And also if by correcting the days and hours with it would correct any lingering alarms issues such as mentioned with the…
  • I'm not sure if this can be fixed or not but I just observed something unexpected. I changed the game time speed to 50 and as a result it went back in time 1.5 days but retained all of the progress from that 1.5 days. Then I found a setting to offset days and hours. I changed it but then all sorts of crazy stuff happened…
  • Is there a mod or something for this? Kind of like don't wash until X dishes (or X times dishes) have been put in? It's possible that in TS2 there was AI logic that when eating a meal together the ones done first didn't auto clean up. I could always turn off auto cleanup after eating and that would more or less work around…
  • I wanted to showcase my first house creation in TS4 but I can't seem to figure out how to attach images? Is this not possible? Because I absolutely hate using 3rd party hosting for images because ultimately you end up with one problem or another sooner than later within the post. Such of this image has been viewed too many…
  • My thoughts upon reading the subject aren't T for teen LOL. I only woohoo in game when the sims are wanting it.
  • Here's what I have for the eating mod. Food_Eat_Passive as follows in the mod as made by the mod author:<V t="enabled" n="lock_out_time"> <U n="enabled"> <U n="interval"> <T n="lower_bound">0</T><!--changed value from 1 to 0--> <T n="upper_bound">1</T> </U> </U> </V> Food_Eat_Active</L><!--Removed 'Lock_out_time'--> For…
  • I can't find the in game data to compare to which is part of the problem of knowing what was changed.
  • I assume you are referring to "Game Time Speed"?
  • @Bonxie Thanks for the info. I never realized that task durations were not tied to the speed of the game clock. have to locate the stuff that I want to go faster and make a mod for them.
  • The link answered the lifespan question but I didn't see anything regarding lot relational aging. And NPC relational. I want to make sure that the game settings are set to meet the desired gameplay. In a nutshell no playable sim residing on any other lot age X days from playing playable sims residing another lot X days.…

  • I'm attempting to make the time sims take to do things more realistic. However I'm failing. I assumed changing "Game Time Speed" would do this but in testing my sim still takes 45 sim minutes to take a shower with yellow hygiene bar. No matter the setting. I tested it first at default setting 25 and then at setting 100.…
  • That's kind of a poor design then. What's the point of allowing players to switch between the lots if they aren't going to stay on task. In fact I tried the stay on the other lot and tell the sim to do the practice thing and then when I got back to my lot the career practice didn't budge. I hope someone can point me to a…

  • @kamra19610 with the popularity of these games I'd be shocked if a long time from now they are no longer playable. I mentioned in another thread about how 16bit applications are obsolete yet people have painstakingly made it possible to continue to play many of those games even today. Many of those games are 30 years old…
  • I hire all mysterious houses for mouses.
  • A Wrinkle in Time..... In case anyone hasn't looked at the public reception of it I'll save you the time don't see it. I thought the contrary thinking: well movies based on books are never really perfect translations to screen. But this one was so bad that it makes me want to forget I even watched the movie. My impression…
  • @ikiamyetta I wouldn't worry too much about your GFX card no longer being supported. I have had some for as long as 10 years before upgrading the card or my PC as a whole and not had issues. Typically by the point of no longer supporting there are no more bugs to be fixed and they have optimized things as best as they are…

  • It's possible, historically there has been 5 years per run before the next generation of the game came out. However it's all a matter of just what more can they do with the game that they haven't rolled into 3 or 4 and isn't mod able in 2 (and 3 or 4 for that matter). I doubt any incarnation will make anyone 100% happy…
  • Ah yes, the shrub is the one I used. Not sure what design elements were mine or the mod designers. But the end result was automatic payments with interest. and with optional manual additional payments until the shrub was paid for.
  • How much chuck can a chuckwood wood if a chuckwood could wood chuck.
  • When your real life and sim life are indistinguishable?
  • I feel like the new member requirements to become full member are too restrictive. At this pace TS 5 will come out before I have managed to be able to post my thread for buying advice.
  • I created a bank loan mod years ago that you had to make payments for the money borrowed with interest just like how real loans worked. Unfortunately Since it has been so long since I played I no longer have the mod. I do remember it being me adding the feature to an existing mod. Which has me wondering if I made a mod I…
