And what values of those labels do you need to change? Because I'd like to get one or two converted NPC's to stop trying to take baths all the time!

1) Using SimPe, I extracted the BCON and BHAVs from a 'normal' (non-supernatural), playable Sim.

2) I opened the converted NPC and deleted all the BCON and BHAVs. I replaced them with the extracted ones. Then under Object Data > GUID, I changed the Original GUID to 0x7FD96B54. Leave the fallback GUID as is.

3) Hit Save

As always, back up your game before you try this out. It's worked for me but I can't make any guarantees for anyone else's game

1. Woohooing in a car is a discrete way to do it without alerting your wife. Or maybe depends on where the garage is.
2. Biting the neck of your date actually improves the date score. You'd think becoming a vampire would be a dealbreaker or at least shake things up a bit but no.

^ That's a tough act to follow Why oh why did I just a few days ago discover that the custom paintings you add to the paintings folder will show up in order by the name (or numbers) given them. I now have 1538 pictures to rename. That's going to have to wait, tonight I feel like playing

Heh, that's how you make an NPC if it wasn't created with the right template. Doing it the otherway robs him of a unique personality. Sone NPCs set greet status to themselves on spawning, like Servers.

I had a man spawn a plantbaby using the built-in interaction. Not to my taste at all, so I've never done it before. It modified my objects.package. There was a delay immediately after launching the action, when it happened. Didn't look why it happens, and probably never will.

Opening Seethem.exe wipes your userstartup.cheat regardless if you make any changes or not.

And I thought that was why all of my cheat aliases stopped working too (even after I replaced it with a backup) but it was because I also edited it and put" setquartertileplacement on" as a startup cheat. Apparently that breaks the file! But it made sense it had to be that one because my startup cheats still worked (I put that one last, before the aliases) so anything after that wasn't read by the game, and that was all of my aliases.

Today I discovered that foundation, before you cover it with flooring, has dirty shoe prints all over it.

@Cattitude It's possible to unlock that floor in the game files, so that you can use it to line attics with.

Oh neat!

To do that, make a safe copy of [install location]\EA GAMES\The Sims 2\TSData\Res\Catalog\Scripts\floorPatterns.txt. Then open the original file in notepadand find the following:
floorPattern "floor_plywoodFoundation"
material "floor_plywoodFoundation"
# #catalogTextIndex 215 # no price should be charged for this
subsort "other"
surfaceType "wood"
notInCatalog
crapScore 1.0
default

Put a # in front of notincatalog so that the line won't be read, so it will show up in floors>all. If you want to use it in rooms that sims go into as well, then also put a # in front of the crapScore 1.0 line too (or else the sims' envirnoment score will tank). Save the file and it should work.

alt+enter fullscreens bodyshop. love how I have been playing since day dot and still learn new things constantly. I'm sure this isn't news to most but I never knew.

That's news to me!! All this time I've struggled to see the details. Desperately wanted this but didn't think it was possible lol, thank you!

Thank you. I might try that at some point.

I found this out when I started up my medieval game-that you can hide the modern style lots from appearing in the lot catalog by replacing the ".package " notation with the word "off" instead.

This will keep them from displaying at all in the lot catalogue. When you want them back, all you have to do is rename them back to ".package" .

Yes, the warning, "this might render the file unstable" will appear when you change the name-it's a standard warning. Just hit yes to change the name.

If a university student is away from home, and it's almost class time, s/he is transported to class & then back to whatever lot s/he was visiting afterwards. This happened with my Delilah O'Feefe, who attends Academie Le Tour & who had just purchased 600 Simoleons worth of food. Evidently she went to class, carrying all her groceries, & when she arrived back at the grocery store, her mood was much improved. She's an introvert & her social gets into the red zone often.

I don't play with businesses often, and I've seen the floor-standing signs and the little table card signs but I had no idea there were hanging ones! Coldwater Townie Josiah just bought a dishwasher.

They also hang from the ceiling if you sell lights.

No way! I never even thought to sell ceiling lights but now I might need to.

You can also sell: doors, paintings-actually anything that hangs from/on the walls.
Just make sure (if you're using Inge's autorestock) to make it restock at no cost or else you're going to be broke in short time.

I got to see it hang from the ceiling, one of my shops sells ceiling fans. Dunno why it amazed me as much as it did!

I did not know that toddlers could fall asleep sitting up, I assumed they'd lie down on the floor. He looks like he's about to fall over, like how they do in the crib, but nope, he's just sitting there

I had no clue sims could ding-dong-ditch each other! I just watched one of my sims, Rose, walk onto the lot, snickering to herself, and then walk up to the front door and ring it before running away. Am I dumb? I had no clue this was a thing!

In Sims 1 the Grim Reaper could do that! Sometimes, very rarely, he'd randomly show up at night and ding-dong-ditch the active household.
