In China, red assassin beetles spawn near the abandoned farm/barn place, near the shore line upriver from base camp (moving away from the Emporer's Plaza), and in the far north east of the river bank (past the fork in the river). I know I've picked up plutonium while looking for other metals/gems for a quest in China but I don't recall where.

Two questions:
- How to give your toddlers a happy childhood? Al my toddlers if well taken care of learn to potty, and walk (becuase it's so adorable<3), one even got mechanical and logic, but still according to the game he had a tough toddlerhood. Do I also need to teach them to talk, or is it because he didn't have any extra happy moodlets? his mood was on the happy side anyway.

- Taking pics of sunflowers, no matter how I used the camera to point to the sunflowers, I never got the text that I'm pointing to a sunflower. The pic is needed becuase I want my photographer to get all the plants in the plant category.

Your toddlers need to learn to Potty, Walk and Talk to fulfill the happy childhood requirement. The mechanical and logic stuff, like the xylophone, is optional, but very handy.

What cheat do I need to use to be able to rotate objects through a full 360 degrees? I know the , and . keys rotate them in 90 degree increments but I swear there is a cheat, or key combination that allows any angle. Am I right thinking this?

EDIT: Nevermind. I found it was the ALT key I was after.

I don't know about Sunset Valley, but in Riverview I got sunflowers by going to the community garden and photographing the ones by the fence. I got right up next to them. There is another kind of sunflower that didn't seem to count as sunflowers.

So I've been trying to organize my CC, and get rid of what I don't need, and I certainly DON'T need those awful overalls! But they won't be deleted How can I rid my game of this horror? 50% of the men in my game wear these overalls and have long hair, ala Gunther Goth...

How do we move out garden plants when we try to move house? Or is it even possible?

I don't think it's possible. But you could wait for fruit/vegetables to grow on the plant, harvest them and grow those when you get to your new house.

Are teddy bears supposed to give babies a positive moodlet? The Valentine bear from the store doesn't seem to. I put it in the babies inventory but it doesn't seem to be having any effect. I've not had any toddlers to try it with yet.

Nevermind! It showed up when he fell asleep.

I'm not completely sure, but if you put teddy bears in adults' inventory, they need the childish-trait to get a moodlet.

Base game overalls? Can't remove em without a mod. Or instead of removing, you could do a default replacement. Try the CAS Parts forum under Create to find out how to do that.

Yeah, but what about plants like Money Tree? They don't produce seeds

I wouldn't know, I've never had a money tree. How do you grow it?

Money trees do produce seeds. If there's free space around it, a seed will spawn/drop sooner or later.

I got it while fishing. It's really rare, so the chances for you to get it is very small



Is it random or is there a certain time when it will do so?

If you keep tending it until it gets to Perfect, the next time it is harvestable it drops a seed. I got a seed as a reward from the Bag of Produce opportunity, and some of the unknown special seeds are money trees.

Of course you can also just keep harvesting your old lot from your new house and not have to worry about things like weeds and watering.

I have a stupid question can you recolor or retexture the brick for fireplaces it seems like some peoples are different.

The chimneys? You can't recolor them in-game, but you can make a recolor mod using s3op and s3pe.

Ok ill have to try that thanks

a few questions for serious simmers.
 

When you go to the shop and you make your sim buy the Bubble bath stuff, can the use it or is it just for display?
and...
With the WA expansion pack in france do you have to unlock something to see the effiel tower? is it possible to see/go up it?

If you put the bubble bath on the corner of the bathtub (there's a slot there for it) then you can take a bubble bath. Same with the rubber duckie - both give you an additional tiny moodlet boost.

place the bubble bath on the edge of the tub and your sim will have the option to take a bubble bath. Likewise, place the rubber duck on the edge of the tub and your sim will play with the duck. they get positive moodlets from both the bubble bath and the duck.

The Eiffel Tower is just decoration, there is no way to go to where it is. But, if you'd like your sims to visit it, you can edit one of the lots in France; the Eiffel Tower can be placed using the "buydebug" cheat.

ok thanks

My stupid question is how come when I take a portrait of another sim the picture is black? I have tried having a million lights surrounding the sim but that doesn't work. And having no lights doesn't work either. Any help? :/
