Sims don't take or reject interactions based on what wants they have currently rolled, it's only based on mood and relationship.

Most fortune sims will roll a "marry a rich sim" want shortly after they grow to adult, but if you don't lock it, it rolls away and is unlikely to come back.

Interesting...I'm going to try again when she's in a much better mood

Why do people like to make their new sims in bodyshop or simpe rather than in-game CAS? I tried it, it's okay, but I don't see any reason to use it

In body shop you have more accuracy with face blending. The individual parts: nose/mouth/brow show all the archetypes, and there might be more steps to the sliders. There is also an undo button for when you add a slider that didn't contribute well. In the game you can right-click on the faces, which seems to make a bigger contribution per click, and there is no visible undo button.

Maybe Sim Pe is a good choice for setting some person data like skills if you don't have a mod that does it in the game.

Well damn, I didn't see the button. What are the green labels on your icons, the triangle and L?

Those are custom sliders, the links for the sliders I use are at the bottom of the page here:

More options for face blending (only thing you can't directly do is to blend between two sims, but you can blend templates, and between a custom template sim and a template.

You can more easily save the sim, either as a template (just the package file that appears in Savedsims) or as a template with most/all of the CC files added (Sims2pack). If you make sims you're particularly happy with ingame and want to reuse them, you have to extract and then clone them.

You can more easily do changes before putting a sim into your game, and it's faster to load up Bodyshop (if you use a moderate amount of CC or only put in CAS items you think you'll need in that session. Bodyshop loads faster on the second load after a bootup, too.It's one loading screen instead of two).

Personally I use both, body shop and the game editor, both give me options and a different vision. Many of the sims I have created have gone through several phases.

There is one more thing. In CAS the person twitches all the time and smiles, which makes small adjustments hard to judge until the smile is shaken off. I also didn't know you could right-click on the faces to apply a slider increment, and use body shop to get that effect, and still do out of habit.

To stop the gurning in CAS.

my apartments are always full of playable sims so I never used social classes for them

The game creates one townie for each empty apartment unit unless you have a mod banning this, even if you never unpause after moving 4x playable families in. So that must be where they have come from.

Normal townies don't do the special greetings, only social townies.

How can I change the name of a sc4 terrain? I have a lot of them, but some don't have a picture. And even those that DO, I want to name them something descriptive

You should just be able to rename the file by right-clicking as usual. As for the picture, take .PNGs of them in-game and rename them to match the filename for the terrain, e.g. HillRiver (Desert), HillRiver (Lush) etc.

Right-clicking didn't give rename choice; and sadly don't know how to take in-game PNG (is that a picture?)

Folder, not game.

I believe the default Print Screen comes out as a png, which is a picture format.

what does that mean?

Folder in save folder.

They mean you need to rename the .SC4 file in the folder, rather than trying to rename the terrain from in-game.

I think printscreen does different things based on how you have it set up.

This is probably simple, but I'm not getting it. What is the difference between 1 and 2 here?

"Param 3, the last one is the one you want which can be 0 for repeatable, 1 for unique or 2 for unique per sim."

Huh. Now I don't know if this is a bug or not but the most expensive toilet seems to have a "splash" effect when you zoom in from a distance.

Edit. Also! Does espresso always make Sims vibrate? I I don't know if my game is bugging out or if the shaking is intended. They only had one cup each!

Is there a way to make a picture of an SC terrain that does not show up in the previews of the neighborhood maps? I've got quite a few that lack the preview picture and I'd like to change that.

Do I need to generate a neighborhood with that, then take a picture with a in-game camera or outside game camera and then relabel it to be that neighborhood's name to make it show up?

Any suggestions? (I hate when creators don't take pictures of them before. This is what happens when they do not.)

Both of these are normal game behavior.
The toilet splash thing happens to the cheap and expensive toilets. It's a little funny thing that happens when you zoom in. The espresso vibration is annoying but it goes away after an hour or so in-game. Happens when my sims finish a cup of coffee too!
