Well I tried on another lot and grocery delivery shows up, so...

I also tried Chris Hatch's new bus mod, that works great, very cool.

Let's all come see the bus stop in our jammies, yah! Please get changed.


Only trouble was I sent the bus to a one by 1 lot and the bus stopped on the next lot resulting in my sim spawning out the back of the bus after some time. So better on larger lots I think.

(Sorry I keep editing to add details, heh)


Well, that is interesting. I do not play with macrotastics, but I do know that it will also conflict with Sun&Moon's toxic version of the herbs from the Herbs, Spice & Everything Nice. So, if you (or anyone else) have those, be careful, or snag the non-toxic versions...unless you want to up the chances of your sims dying suddenly that is.

Regular/maxis weed pulling freezes the sims up too. I managed to pull a few, and then the pigs changed position and the sims froze (not sure if it was a coincidence or not, yet). Macrotastic comes up with the option to "garden" even when there's no gardening to do on the lot. Selecting causes the sims to queue up "garden" with a picture of the pig, then freeze.

Haven't seen any flickering.

Groceries: Worked for me. But not when my fridge was full. Honestly, it's been so long since I've ordered groceries I couldn't remember how to do it (that's why this took so long! lol)


I did not have any issues with flickering either. So, I'm not sure what Jo has that is causing that particular conflict. And, I did not even think to test Maxis gardening/weed pulling for a conflict , as I was just testing the custom ones for, Jo. So, there is something clearly going on with the action itself in relation to the hogs.

Also, I see that you were taking care of posting over at PBK about the conflicts. Do let me know if you do not get a chance to, or do not get a response. I will post in the bug section, or PM one of them if necessary.

Dagwon 22nd Dec 2016 6:22 PM

I don't have the Herbs, but I'll try to remember for if (er, when) I get around to putting them in. Trying to take it slowly right now... *glances at her downloads folder, that just happened to double in size yesterday*

The weeds that the CC grass/flowers are based off of is whats causing the problem. Without the CC they're the tall purpley flowers that sprout up when a sink breaks on grass, sims pee themselves, etc. The weeds (yellow-greeny grass) that surround the maxis garden plants seem to have no issues with the hogs. I'm not a modder but to me it feels like the hogs think that they're weeds, or "advertise" as weeds or something. So when the sim goes to "pull" the "hog-weed" everything freezes up?

I did post on PBK, and got a response, but Sunni couldn't recreate the problem... I dunno what to do now. I'm too worried about "being a bother" or seeming ungrateful or something

ETA: Or Macrotastic messes with the piggies because they're based off the money tree? Sunni just updated their post

PenelopeT 22nd Dec 2016 8:19 PM

Dagwon, thanks for the update. I just read Sunni's posting and see that all is well with regards to Maxis weeds being pulled. I'm not a custom grass user, so it won't be an issue. Really looking forward to adding everything to my main game and playing again, after the new year. Guessing you'll now have to choose between using macrotastic and some of their crafting stations.

And...just to stay on thread topic, I'm going to go ahead and suggest checking out the advent over at Around The Sims. Sandy, has featured a new item every day this month. Everything will be released at the end of the advent for those who missed an item.

joandsarah77 22nd Dec 2016 10:28 PM

@Dagwon could you please post about my conflict with the pullable grass and also let them know I do not have macrotastics and never have.

I don't know yet about the groceries, all I know there is I could call for groceries on another lot without the hogs but not on the lot with the hogs. I know that isn't a proper test, it could possibly be some other cc on that lot so I will do more testing on that.

I can't stress enough how badly my Sims needed it, especially now with four puppies in the house.

PenelopeT 23rd Dec 2016 2:57 PM

@Dagwon

Sunni, is rewriting some of the code for the hogs so that it won't conflict with macrotastics. That is good news for you and others who use it.

See the last posting in the report bugs thread here.

I've seen, but can't recall where, pet beds that will allow 2 puppies or 2 kittens at a time. Might even be available for 2 small dogs too, but that I'm not sure of. If I can find them again I'll let ya know.

joandsarah77 23rd Dec 2016 10:01 PM

@PenelopeT But I don't use macrotastics and never have so it can't be that, that caused my sims to freeze. Unless and this is a big maybe; the lot I have the hogs on was a downloaded farm, perhaps the creator of the lot did use macrotastics and somehow it's effects have come across. Somehow I doubt it but stranger things have happened, look at the Super Duper Hug coming invisibly with lots. That lot is also still the only lot that I can not see Delivery>grocery option on the phone. I feel like playing twilight music.

Now I know why I didn't re-register sooner, those questions. <_< Seriously don't appreciate having to Google someone called Beowulf who I have never heard of nor the Spanish Inquisition, those questions are more like the Spanish Inquisition.

Jo, I realize you don't use macrotastics, but Dagwon does, and alerted Sunni about the issue. I was just letting them know that Sunni was editing the code of the hogs to work with macrotastics, thus fixing their issue.

As for your issue, as you requested, Dagwon did alert them to it, and Frac posted regarding them finding an code error here . So, Sunni is taking a look at why the pigs and weeds don't play well together. They have also disabled the download link to the hogs until everything gets sorted out.

joandsarah77 23rd Dec 2016 11:04 PM

Well I hope this time my registration will 'stick' and I will be able to log in and post myself. I must have missed where Frac said that before.

I found a tumblr blog for cc free lots! It just came up this month tho so there is not much going on

https://ccfreelots.tumblr.com/

joandsarah77 24th Dec 2016 4:54 AM

Someone put my Down on your Luck Hostel up on there, that's nice. I have plenty of other cc free lots, just uploaded a couple more a few days ago.

Bulbizarre 24th Dec 2016 5:48 AM

That's great. I'm always a bit nervous about lots with CC since I got a few glitchy items.

PenelopeT 24th Dec 2016 2:35 PM

@joandsarah77

@Dagwon

Sunni, has added an updated file for testing the hogs out to see if some of the issues have been resolved. I did test the updated hogs out (with the custom grass and wildflowers on the lot too) for 2 sim days and encountered no issues. But, if you two (and anyone else) could test it too and report back to Sunni, it would be most helpful - especially since Dagwon has macrotastics installed. Get the updated download in the bug thread.

Thanks PenelopeT, Frac has sent me a pm. They know I have registered with a gmail so lets hope this account sticks.

Dagwon 25th Dec 2016 4:39 AM

Partially as an apology for derailing this thread with my piggy obsession: IGLOOS (Fourth down). They work as tents!

joandsarah77 25th Dec 2016 4:55 AM

You should post those to Laura's WCIF thread.

Hey, does anyone know which one of these mods I need to remove the distance "fog" in-game so that I can see every other building in town when I'm in a lot? I'm sick of seeing about two other houses when my lot is surrounded by them.

joandsarah77 25th Dec 2016 2:19 PM

You need to change your in game graphic setting to far, sounds like you have it set to close.

It sounds as if you need to change your View Distance settings under "Lot View Options". See the attached screenshot.

Even though only decorative, I really like these stands:

Referring to the camera mods link.
Unfortunately only nr 5 works.
