I've started working on Level 2, the stunning sequel to Level 1. I've already got the beta logic added, as well as some but not all of the setup (in specific, it can set Sam and tell you who it is, and it can set the house funds to Level 2's 265 simoleons).

...Its sprite doesn't look the best, but I think it's the best I'll manage for now. Can always try cleaning it up later.



The higher priority currently is fixing the new and unusual error it's encountering with the attribute that should keep it from starting without a Mercedes. XD

Cool, pw!

If you can see 👇the picture below👇, it means archive.org is alive 'n' breathing :o

Guys! I gave a major Magic Cookie facelift to all the objects from The List. You can now rest assured our objects will not be confused with other Maxis objects, or [maybe] crash your game. It's about time I allow myself to be called a the sims creator, even when belonging to the loosest portion of the participatory culture pyramid! You only deserve the best. So sorry for slipping up on it till now.

Paint your future... pain to your future?

	Easel.iff	With its custom magic cookie blessings, SimOrganizer-powered Buy Mode epistemology and acquired Transmogrifier skills, maybe it's the first port that will not embarrass me over the long run. Well, behold a rotationally hybrid item. The isolated easel sprites follow the standard "back-n-front" arrangement, whilst we have canvases whose horizontally flipped IDs are unique graphics other than mirrored versions. If it were the first object I worked on in this project, I would've given up immediately! On the other hand: lucky for us, a portion of is betaish code (e.g. early messages that always tell the player that the Sim has finished her or his painting) can be found intact hidden away within their due scripting trees (they're just sort of widowed though: none of the existing primitive nodes connect themselves to that), so you can definitely expect some extra behaviors here (yet nothing too fancy as this object isn't that different from its finalized iteration anyway; but, hey, at least your Sims will have something different to paint, beyond a mysterious RL wedding setting, I suppose!? ).

Ooh, this will be perfect for Level 2, which I've just managed to get tested! (Spoilers: I was very bad at keeping two Sims happy but what else is new? XD)

The Level 2 object appears to work well but is MUCH more likely (compared to Level 1, which COULD do it but usually DIDN'T) to throw an advice dialog prior to the level info dialog popping up. I can think of a way to prevent this but I don't know if it will work (my first idea I think kept the scenario from running at all while it just waited forever). Will need to give the new idea a shot later!
