It's without. just setQuarterTilePlacement On/Off and then control+F to make it move things by quarter of a tile.

This one works as "always on" in the userstartup (as I said earlier)
boolProp QuarterTilePlacementEnabled true
Still has to be activated/deactivated with Ctrl+F, but no need to type the full cheat or an alias cheat.

"setQuarterTilePlacement On/Off" does not work as "always on". It does work for the alias variant, though. I used to have it set up like that for quite some time, but hardly ever used the cheat, since it was a 2-step process. The first one is much more useful since it eliminates the need for typing the cheat or alias ingame (now I use the cheat all the time, since it's much easier just having to toggle with Ctrl+F). The first one should also work for alias cheats (with "false" as the "off" variant, but I can't quite see why it would be necessary as long as the "always on" variant works).

If you have issues with getting the "always on" variant to work in the UserStartup, there's another method to enable it as always on, here:

(I've not had to do this, mine works in the UserStartup).

What holds up this whole house on a hollow foundation? You can see red flowers on the other side.

Those are really strong lattices?

I never use the lattice foundation except on porches, which is the only place I've ever seen them IRL. Generally they're combined with a post or pier-and-beam foundation and don't support any weight, but act as an attractive house skirt hiding the posts from the road. I'm not sure why lattices are chosen instead of extending the siding down to the ground for that purpose as is done on the rest of the house - the only house I ever lived in that had one, I lived in from the time I was six to eight and a half, and such questions didn't occur to me - but it may have something to do with accessing the crawl space, or sheltering dogs, or giving flowerbeds a better background for aesthetic or practical reasons.

Well you see, gravity works slightly differently in the Sim Universe.

If you put columns, you can put a second floor and then remove the column and leave it midair.

I don't know why everyone is concerned with how the foundations of pixel houses are made.

Because pixels and their belongings/furniture don't weigh anything.

They're light as air.

Physics in the Sims 2 universe is not like the human universe.

Justpetro 3rd Feb 2025 5:07 PM

The lattices just decorate the invisible, strong foundation

jonasn 3rd Feb 2025 10:55 PM

There is a weight which doesn't let you snap an object into slot against its support strength. But it is applied quite inconsistently.

I usually rebuild these foundations to be solid. I feel unsafe looking at a house with hollow parts, too many large windows and glass doors.

Can I change price for Wallpaper/Flooring in SimPe or is that only for objects like Buy Mode stuff?

jonasn 4th Feb 2025 12:35 PM

It is in catpatterns.bundle.package of the respective expansion pack.

The xobj has the price the game uses and the text list shows in the catalog.

Anyone else getting mixed up sometimes as to whether or not people are talking about Original Sims 1/2 or the Legacy versions?

Would a new forum for the Legacy versions of Sims 1/2 be useful?

Is it worth it? That's the question. Eventually, all this noise will die off as people go back to their corners, caves and rocks and people will simply get back to talking about normal/average gameplay stuff like they used to.

Besides, if anyone is having (technical) issues with the Legacy edition, then they really should be posting about it in The Sims 2 Help section. It's there for a reason...

On top of that, I think The Sims 1 section of MTS should have its own dedicated Help section as well. And maybe adding a link to The Sims 1 section to the taskbar at the top like with the other games.

Maybe it would be good to have a category on the Help forum for Legacy version.

Yes, I agree that Sims 1 should be on the top menu bar! I think you should suggest this on the Site issues forum.

They removed all of the Sims 1 threads and information a long time ago.

What is left is conversions from Sims 1 to 2, etc.

Why do the slices go everywhere when a pizza box is placed in the inventory?

Sims 1 forum threads still exist on MTS: https://modthesims.info/f/662/

I'm confused too. 🤔

I sometimes ponder why there's no TS1 section (with custom content and all) but then I remember this site started as modthesims2--it was *the* place for ts2 content and then added the future games as they came...but I agree a TS1 section here would feel more complete.

But yeah the introduction of these legacy editions will bring more fragmentation/confusion kinda like when you google sims 2 custom content and sims 4 custom content rears its ugly clay-haired head.

FranH 5th Feb 2025 12:19 AM

That is what I'm talking about-I searched for Sims 1 content.

There is none on this site. Period, end of discussion. If this site wants to attract more people we have to make it open for ALL the games.

As it is, I had to go searching for what little I have found on other sites such as Reddit.

Currently, Sims 1 custom content downloads are included in the Sims 1 discussion forum- which also serves as the Sims 1 WCIF, pictures, help, and news forum!
https://modthesims.info/f/662/
Here's an example of a Sims 1 download:
https://modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=685887

What M.M.A.A. is talking about is having this forum 'unhidden' and with a dropdown link on the menu bar, so that everyone can fine it- not just us secret society members!

Note- there has NEVER been a Sims 1 download section on this forum- the site was created for Sims 2, in 2004. However, popular demand meant that a Sims 1 section was created back in 2012, and permission to upload files for that game into that forum was given. In the same way, we have no official downloads section for Sims 3 CAW resources- we share those on the Sims 3 CAW forum too.

I'm concerned about the confusion that might result if the current trend is continued of the new game being incompatible with old mods. Plus, what if new mods are incompatible with the old game? It looks like the perfect way to get confused over which game people need help for, then other people worrying that their game has the same problem despite not having the same game, then people complaining because they downloaded a mod for the wrong game version and it didn't work, then ...

A totally separate forum could help with that.

Peni Griffin 5th Feb 2025 3:45 PM

Well, but it's always been like that. People put 'needs the UC,' 'requires Free Time,' etc. etc. on their download descriptions and if people don't read the descriptions they get confused. How is this different from that?
