I usually go for Fresh Chef, Handy and Webmaster and Gregarious reward traits because Handy unlocks the instant upgrade and insta repair options. Webmaster is useful for my ambitious and need sims, Gregarious is great for building relationships quicker.
If you have my wedding stories, you can get the wine bucket and just click on it and select a sim to give the toast. Without it, you'll need to have your sim hold a drink then talk to another sim who is also holding one and the option should show up in the friendly category, sometimes under activities. It doesn't always…
It's the park that's close to the pier. I tried a game repair and that seems to have fixed the problem. I can now see the rec centre in the list of venues in other worlds. Thanks for all your help.
Some mods also create files in the save folder or the save itself. I know of a few that do this, so this may be one of them and that's why it happens when you load that save file
I find I quickly get bored playing in the same house or world for too long, so I move the next gen heir to a new world and leave the spare with the parents to inherit the house when they pass. Depending on my plans, I may have the new heir start from scratch and earn their way to a new house or give them their share of the…
Depends on the number of sims in a household. I easily get bored in cas, but if I'm playing one sim, I give 2-4 outfits for everyday and 2 for the others. If more than 3 sims, I just do 1 each
Restaurants are at the top of my list, it's usually the first commercial venue I put down in a new save, then usually the next venues are Parks Nightclubs Bars/karaoke bars Beach lot
@JC1979 You can send the waiter away by asking them to send your compliments (or insults) to the chef. They'll head over to the kitchen and leave your sims alone. That's how I do it.
One work around I use for now is to build a small room within the restaurant with a door. Once the food is served and my sims are eating, I quickly go into build mode and remove the door until the meal is finished. Or, use screens to fence off the area. It's not ideal, but it keeps my sanity in check for the time being.
I like this. Sometimes I just want my sim parents out of the house in the evenings and would love an option to send them out on the town (rabbit hole) while I concentrate on their kids at home. Or maybe have the kids hangout with friends off screen while I play the parents. For now, I use LittleMsSam's social activities…
I recently started a save where I split all premade households made, changed all relationships to single, made everyone YA and turned MCCC loose on the town, just to see who it would pair with whom, with very interesting results :D . For that, I changed the last names of the previously married female premades, but that's…
If you use mods, try this lifesaver http://simsasylum.com/tfm/index.php?/topic/13758-world-sim-control-10-restaurants-dine-out-gp/& you'll need to register to access the mod, but it's worth it.
I have proposals set to autonomous, so my sims end up proposing pretty much anywhere as long as they are in a flirty mood. Still, when I'm in control of events, my favorite romantic spot is the lighthouse in Brindleton Bay.
It's wonderful and been playing for about two days and no issues so far. To slow townie generation, I use this mod by Coolspear http://simsasylum.com/tfm/index.php?/topic/13720-world-sim-control-06-worker-npcs-all-in-one-npcs/ you'll need to sign up before accessing the site, but the mod is really helpful. Also use the…
@isleroux I'm currently playing your save and I love it! I have a bunch of mods to slow down townie generation, so it's not so bad. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Everything. Though, for some like the gym in Willow Creek, I kept the bare bones of the building, added a basement, with a pool, suana and hot tubs and massage area. Main floor has the gym equipment and climbing machines from fitness stuff. The top floor is a yoga studio, snack bar and a little playpen for my sims with…
Removing the tag does not affect the ability to protect them from the weather, at least from my experience. I don't use the tags when dressing my sims for hot or cold weather and it works just fine. Could be a bug.
You can place the safe on a generic lot and store the money there. It won't affect the household bills. I built a bank of sorts with lots of vaults and have several sims from different households in my rotation keep their excess cash.
Willow Creek and Oasis Springs are fully residential, each with a central park. Newcrest is mostly commercial, with one residential neighbourhood close to the park with the monkey bars. Magnolia is the food district, with one high end restaurant, a burger shack, an ice cream parlour, and a seafood restaurant. Windernburg…
