Made sim versions of myself and my boyfriend in order to beta test a world, and what does she do the moment I get them on a couch together? She rants to him about how great the sims is, while he looks at a wall. *facepalms* just because the world is set in Heck doesn't mean you need to make him feel that way, lady. [img]

  • The groups thing does seem very intriguing, since I've always wanted to create a caste system, and it's been an idea that's been explored in TS2's Apartment Life, TS3's University Life, and The Urbz (console version of the game). For TS2 AL, I didn't really like the way the social groups turned out (they didn't have much…
  • Doing side job should generate the same pay + random cash bonus in the middle of work if he's successful at the side job. You don't always get a bonus. But yeah, he should be at least getting the default pay D: I don't know. The only time where I get less pay while not waiting is when I use Nraas to create an artificial…
  • Yeah. I find that reading the FAQs/Interactions lists and browsing the Nraas chatter threads helped a lot, and sometimes I got to learn about cool features through other people's experiences. And when in doubt...there's always Google :)
  • Maybe your sim made a deal with the morgue to write down the cause of death as starvation ;) You know, to cover up his/her tracks.
  • It is always so adorable when townies go on strolls on their own. Sometimes I will ignore my own sims just to watch them for a bit :D This way, I also get to find out who's got a new baby :) I wish I had pictures to share, but I'm terrible at remembering to take pictures. I rarely take pictures IRL, either; I just get so…
  • I really wish they consulted with psychologists. Emotions were their selling point, so they should have put a lot of effort into it. I mean, Pixar's Inside Out, an animated movie about emotions, is the top-selling non-sequel movie of all time, and they put a lot of psychological research into it. If TS4's emotion system…
  • @MissCee if you're interested, there is an Nraas mod called Saver, which does nothing to your game except to remind you to save every 30 real-life minutes XD You can also adjust the minutes to be however long you want, but 30 is the default. I use it now, because I've been burned way too many times before.
  • Yay! I hope you have fun! Honestly when I first started off with Nraas, I had to read instructions like a million times, and it was my very first time using 7zip for anything. But once I figured it out, I was so happy. I have 45 mods in my mod folder (not all of them are Nraas mods), and I'm always on the lookout for other…
  • Oh my god! I didn't know that that fire effect was real :O That makes for some terrific storytelling, though.
  • Ahh I see. That could be it. That career has always been wonky at best. When my sim got the night shift, he kept having to report to work on a Wednesday, even though he didn't have work scheduled. It would take away work performance if he didn't show up, but it didn't give him any boost if he did. What a thankless job :P
  • I feel the same way, but then again sometimes the behavior in the forums really is reminiscent of 12 year olds. I'm not saying that we all deserve to be treated that way, but I can't blame SimGuruDrake for being cautious. Honestly there's no way to make everyone happy. Some will be upset that the button exists at all,…
  • I wonder if using Nraas Debugger's Fix Homeworld would resolve this issue.
  • Is he getting booted out early? Or maybe it's showing that he isn't officially "at work" until several hours after 9? Next time he reports for work, watch the work tab. Make sure that at 9pm, he's officially "Working" and not "Going to Work." If there's a delay, zoom in on him to see if he's actually entering the building…
  • @esharpmajor sometimes, if I watch my TS2 and TS3 couples like a hawk, I do find them bickering a little, especially if one is mean. The mean one will yell or complain, and then the nicer one will change the subject/do a different social interaction to bring back the plus signs. I've always liked that, especially if it…
  • Yeah, birthday cakes have like a 1% chance of catching on fire. I find it amusing but also horrifying XD My mistake was that my inventor sim caught on fire while inventing, and I had no idea that could happen. I let just him die... Later on, on this forum, someone told me that he could have just jumped into a shower and…
  • Oh my god. It's a miracle! *rushes off to download this mod and then re-install ITF* (I know I'm re-necroing an old thread, but this is a new solution to me, and I hope those who also have this ITF issue will see it!)
  • Honestly the buttons mean nothing to me; the problem really is a lack of respect and maturity. We all need to learn to listen to differing opinions, and if we don't like them, we need to at least be able to accept their right to exist. If we don't enjoy the conversation, we can just shake our heads and walk away. That is…
  • Hi @simgirl542! Chrome + 7zip + Windows 8.1 user here. You say that you have the framework installed just fine, so I'll skip over that part. I'll walk you through (with pictures) how I install my beloved Nraas mods. Please let me know if something looks different on your end. 1. Alright, so I'm at the page of one of the…
  • @Diva241 the mod I'm talking about is called bluegenjutsu's Auto Romance. This is over at Sims Asylum, a forum that requires a free member sign-up, but I think it's worth it. bluegenjutsu is a genius, and I have many of her mods, such as the one to get rid of the foot tapping sims do when they can't route. Anyway, her Auto…
  • Are you asking if that is something that naturally happens in the game, or are you asking if there's a mod for that? Because no, that doesn't happen naturally in the game, but there is a mod that allows for autonomy.
  • Yeah, too many smiles are creepy. Makes me think of the Stepford Wives, or even Brave New World with all their soma (happy pills). Maybe TS4 is some sort of dystopian commentary that's been going over our heads all this time, I don't know. Also, @Frogprincess_q, that is a beautiful world! Is that one you're making? (I'm…
  • Sometimes I feel like the developers got shortcutty, even back in TS3. A lot of the social interactions are just the same motions with different labels, such as gossip vs. share secret or chat vs. get to know. And actually what was the difference between compliment appearance, compliment personality, compliment…
  • Ooh I'm glad this thread exists! That glitch has been bugging me for ages. For me, it happens every time I have someone come home from traveling. Suddenly the whole house wants to take a permanent vacation. Hopefully DE will fix that problem for me in the future ><
  • @christinebremner I use it every single day I play the sims. It works for the most part, and pretty smoothly! ...although once in a long, long while, I squint my eyes at a service sim who might seem to be wearing something from Island Paradise, which I turned off. But I can't know for sure. I am terrible at clothes…
  • Also reporting no issues as far as I can see, and I've been playing for a few days. Loving all the backstories; chuckling at the fact that Morgana has yet another kid. I'm also really curious as to who's leaving these darn kids at these doorsteps and talking about money, but I guess I'll find out soon. Thank you for…
  • In any thread, it should honestly be up to OP as to what should be allowed to be posted in it. (It is also up to site moderators to close a thread if it breaks any rules, but I don't think that's an issue right now.) If @sparkfairy1 is happy with what is being posted, then I don't see why it needs to change. And if anyone…
  • Yippee! Yay for first kisses ^____^ Will he take her home with him?
  • Has anyone tried that TS3 aging progression mod? I've been thinking about getting it, but I wonder if it would significantly slow my game down.
  • @Slyvanas I think I would cry. And then quit without saving XD So I admire you for going through with this! Good luck!
  • Yeah, EA doesn't have to talk to us, but I also don't have to give them any of my money ever again. So it's all good ;)
