I once had Cyd Roseland breed Porthos to another small dog he adopted (looked like a beagle, if I'm correct). The male puppy turned out looking pretty nice, but the female one...


Peni Griffin 6th Nov 2016 2:40 AM

Still looks fine to me.

My standard responses to randomly-assigned clothes are: "Oh, dear. Don't worry, I'll save you!" and "Eh, you can stand that for a little while."

It doesn't look too bad in a still screenshot, but it looked really weird when she was eating or barking or so forth. Lucy Burb fell in love with her anyways.

"I hope you're having just two babies..."

After the birth:

"Oh, my lord! Why did you go and have quadruplets? There's not enough room in this house for 4 babies and two adults! What were you thinking?"

I have a lot of Cyjon's mods, but somehow missed that one. Thank you for the link.

Playing today

"Will you stop whining about the leaves". The stupid toddler rather whine about not being able to get to (because of stairs, and frankly I rather she not be able to get down the stairs) the leaves than play with the toys she can get to. I just get tired of her constant whining. When I direct her towards the toys she'll play a bit then go back to whining about the leaves. I hope the Bell's born in game daughter won't always be such a pain in the ass.

Annaminna 7th Nov 2016 5:50 PM

I think you are missing a lot if you don't let your toddlers go out of their room. They want discover a world full of life, catch butterflies, play with leaves, eat snow, pet a stray.
You are giving them only lifeless toys...


BTW here at MTS are several different mods for toddler to use stairs.

Peni Griffin 7th Nov 2016 5:59 PM

Personally I like to have nurseries on the first floor. Closer to the fridge, plus it's relatively simple to get them outside on a house with a foundation from there; and if the house is on a slab, they can let themselves out to catch butterflies. Also some toys work best in the yard, like the water wiggler and the spin/twirl/wobble.

"It wasn't this hard when Lily first started!" Angel Mole Hart has started a beauty salon, and I was having a hell of a time making it function, even though it consists of a single chair with walls and a roof around it. Customers kept blocking each other from the chair, and Angel kept getting bored and going to splash puddles or jump rope. I don't remember Lily's House of Transformation, in Drama Acres, being this hard to get going.

Justpetro 7th Nov 2016 6:50 PM

I like the nurseries on the ground. Toddlers can get outside easier to play in the snow or chase butterflies. Their toys are normally scattered all over the living room as well. Maybe one in the actual nursery.

Orilon 8th Nov 2016 2:16 AM

The nursery is on the first floor, the issue is the porch around the front of the house. There are stairs from the ground to the porch that the toddler couldn't get down. She would crawl from the nursery to the porch then continually whine that she couldn't get down the stairs to the ground to the leaves. (This is the default Bell house in Desiderata Valley. I haven't remodeled it, although I'm thinking about it.)

"What is this, Novigrad?" (a reference to the church of the Eternal Fire from The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. The fire in the Aspir's back yard would not go out. When the fireman would put it out in area it would start in another area. I eventually exited without saving because I didn't know what was preventing the fire from being put out and I didn't want Sims to start dying. I very rarely get fires, and the ones I do get are either put out right away by rain or by the fireman.)

Charity 8th Nov 2016 3:49 AM

Don't put the nursery on the first floor if you want them to get outside. Put it on the ground floor.

(Sims do this all the time: their Hygiene is above +80, and their Bladder is below 0. But do they use the toilet? No, they take a shower instead! - What the hell were the coders thinking when they designed that 'logic'?)

Justpetro 21st Nov 2016 10:38 PM

They DO pee in the shower, BO, don't they?

BoilingOil 21st Nov 2016 10:53 PM

That's something that only the sloppy ones do, Justpetro. The neater sims (3 or more neat points) don't do that without a mod. And I don't want such a mod!

My problem is that ALL sims take a shower instead of using the loo, though. It really makes no sense at all.

"Do I have to kill you to make you look after that baby?"

Okay, that probably won't work, but I just get so mad when I tell them to see to a toddler's needs and they just keep picking the kid up and putting it back down without ever actually doing what needs to be done. I have now totally given up on all the Nigmoi except teenager Joseph. Ophelia is a useless mother, Johnny is even worse, and Kitty lives in her own little world that doesn't seem to include school, homework, or baby brothers.

Peni Griffin 26th Nov 2016 6:38 AM

That sounds to me like a mod conflict! Unless you're waiting to tell them to do things when their needs are in a state to interrupt them, or other hard-coded behaviors are pulling at them (like going to Help with Birthday on a baby instead), they ought to be doing what you tell them. Check that nobody else is headed toward the same toddler - if one of them decides to give the toddler on the other side of the house a bath a split-second before you tell the person standing next to him to potty training him, the bath will take priority and the potty training can't proceed till you cancel the bath.

"Bud, why are you hogging Silver and Tibby's baby?" In the Heartocalypse household, with three married couples, an adult cousin, a baby, a toddler, and a child, the parents of the baby are standing in the back with their arms around each other and the father's half-brother is holding the baby. This household does more or less hold all kids in common, but let's not get carried away here!

Indeed! And to that end, it's usually fastest - after having given your sim their orders - to simply select the toddler and see what its action cue says. From there, simply delete any actions that interfere with the ones that you want to happen.

"If you leave without fixing the broken trash compactor again I will smite you!"

My Sims called the repairman because their trash compactor broke. He got out of the car, went into their house, declared everything to be in perfectly working order and left. Twice. But not without charging them for his travel costs.
(to be fair I later discovered that the trash compactor had glitched and was impossible to repair - the action would just drop out of the Sim's queue. Still, he was lucky it was the Lotario family who hired him, and not Olive Specter - after all she has a special place in her yard reserved for service Sims who refuse to do their job....)

This is why I never let my Sims book a vacation without putting an indicator on their house, visible from neighbourhood and neighbouring lot views, of when they are due to go on holiday. I generally remember not to try playing the home lots of Sims on holiday but am often surprised when the airport van turns up (and some of my Sims are at work or abducted or something...)

Edit to avoid double-posting: today, I told two Sims, "well, dancing through each other is a novel way of getting out of someone else's way. If only you'd done it to one side and not right in the middle of the path between the fridge and the wall, that way the other Sim might see you're trying to help and not think you're just plain mocking them!"

"Holy crap, that is dark." Finally got around to reinstalling Scriptorium and the Radiance mod with it. I saw the darker unlit rooms option and remembered how unlit rooms had seemed way too light in my game. So I chose it, resulting in the inability to see anything at all without lights at night Had to go back out and choose the other option. Also had to slap up a few extra fixtures in general. I'd forgotten how much the mod changes the lighting in the game!

For that last one, make sure a) the bowl isn't turned against the wall and b) the pet is trained to eat from a bowl. If it's the Critturs, drop a pancake or something on the floor and scold them when they start eating from it and after that they'll be able to eat from the bowl.

So, this weekend Angela burned dinner and set the kitchen on fire.
Me: *sigh*
I'm about to click on Angela and tell her to call the fire dept (I rarely use fire alarms), then:
Me: Wait a minute... I could kill Daniel. That's just the drama they need!
About five minutes later...
Me: Why aren't you dead yet?!
A burned stove, fridge, and a couple of counters later:
Me: Crap, you survived that?!
Pop up saying that Mary-sue (outside) is having pregnancy complications:
Me: What the hell is wrong with you? You're perfectly--
Checks needs panel, sees hunger and energy dangerously low.
Me: Oh. Yeah, okay. Guess I shouldn't of told you to snowball fight with Herb, then, huh?
Looks for simblender and maxes Mary-sue's needs, but too late; she miscarries.
Me: *sigh* Fine, I own that one. My fault. Don't think that means you get to live, Daniel.
Some more minutes pass:
Me: Will you just run into the stupid fire, stupid? Geez, this is taking forever. No, Dirk, don't go into the kitchen, go home! Yeah, okay, whatever. Freak out while your needs tank. Coral, I see you! Don't you dare step foot in there! ....That's right, you better go to the bathroom...
A slightly less amount of minutes pass:
Me: Uggh, just die alrea--Thank you! Didn't think it'd cost me half a kitchen to set you on fire. *Grumble*
After the fire is dies down:
Me: Stop crying and go to the bathroom already!

But if I'd used a sprinkler, Daniel would still be alive... I was trying to kill him.

In my game, sprinklers are for fireplaces. When I use those I'm usually not trying to get rid of anyone. Kitchens are alarm and sprinkler-free zones for any bouts of sim-killing whimsy I might have. The only exceptions are apartments, since the fire dept comes as soon as a fire breaks out anyway. It's kind of annoying actually.

Yeah, I agree: in THIS one specific instance, the sprinkler would not have helped... So sue me

In most cases, if I want to get rid of a sim, I just artificially age them up a 'little', so they naturally pass away not too long after. Also less drama...

As you can probably see, I'm not much for drama in my game

Phantomknight 7th Dec 2016 3:38 PM

@BoilingOil I like the spontaneity of the fire. I don't always have a plan to kill off my sims but sometimes, when the opportunity presents itself...

But yeah, I suppose I do like drama.

Peni Griffin 7th Dec 2016 5:59 PM

But if all your untimely deaths are from kitchen fires, that becomes less dramatic over time. Don't you think it would be more interesting to throw in some drownings, heart attacks, "car accidents," and murders for variety?

"That's what I was afraid of!" Newlyweds Angel and Ash Greenman attended a cross-Greek wedding also attended by Angel's ex-friend-with-benefits Ricky Cormier. Last time Angel saw Ricky, he got bent out of shape at her for kissing Ash; but Angel is much too agreeable and friendly for her own good, and in the middle of the reception she remade best friends with him and kissed him. Ash was not pleased. I think they're going to weather it, though.

BoilingOil 7th Dec 2016 7:41 PM

Indeed... on the one hand, fire *is* more spontaneous, but on the other hand one should not overdo that. Anyway, I see the point. :P

I don't think all my untimely deaths are from kitchen fires, but I'm going to start taking note of it now, just to see I have a particular affinity for fire. Anyway, fires, for me at least, are the easiest death to orchestrate. Drowning takes so long and requires me to get rid of pool ladders--though now that I think about it, most of my sims don't have a pool. Starvation and sickness take a while too; I have the real sickness mod but I never make my sims sick on purpose, so that's not really good for spontaneity. Cow plants are usually in low supply in my hoods and sims never get struck by lightning when you want them to. I do, however, orchestrate some electrocution deaths, especially if there are broken appliances around. Those are easy to set up with an unskilled sim and tinker.

Anyway, car accidents, heart attacks, and murders are for story deaths. Those I plan out. Fires are more for the "hmm, I hadn't really thought of that, but it could be interesting--let's go with it" type deaths.

Bulbizarre 7th Dec 2016 8:35 PM

Buck Grunt actually died thanks to an improperly placed pool ladder (yay, moveobjects) but Grim got stuck and I had to quit without saving.

I once had Don Lothario throw a party for all his lovers - Cassandra Goth, Kaylynn Langerak, and both Caliente sisters.
Once the girls had all arrived, I sat back and watched the drama unfold...

At some point, after he had alienated all four of them, he decided to join Kaylynn Langerak in the hot tub. So far, there's nothing wrong, right?

Wrong! Problem is, it was raining.

Lightning struck as Don was going to sit down.

Don immediately needed to go to the little boys room.

Lightning struck again as he was climbing out.

Nobody grieved for Don.

HOLY CRAP THAT'S CRISP!

(Having just got Ultimate Collection via Origin working on my Win-10 desktop with GT 705 at 1440x900 on a 22" HDTV compared to BV on CD my on old XP laptop with integrated Intel chipset at 1600 x 1024 on a 17" screen)

Sometimes it's too crisp, from my experience!

It's the weekly 'sister-is-over-playing-sims' time and this were the highlights:

She's playing her Farm business which has the very cookie-cutter nuclear 'Miller' family but they have like too many dogs. When she first comes into the lot, the game tells her someone in the family brought a new pet home. She accepts it and now they have too many dogs plus one more dog. Great.

Then she gets a surprise 'special day' notice and she had forgotten she had them call in an adoption the last time she played. I'm kind of a stickler on playable sims so I put my foot down "Don't adopt any moire kids"

"I need more work-slaves" she replies.

Speaking of this poor little red-head girl named 'April' that arrives, my sister notes:

"There's not enough room in the house, maybe she can sleep in the barn."

Then a moment later she is complaining at me because she can't lay foundation to expand the living room.

"Well maybe that tree in the way is preventing it?" I say, take over the mouse and go into a buy mode to move it. Lo and behold she can now lay foundation down.

"Oh, you were right, that tree was being a fucker"

On the subject of varied sim death, if you decide to let a sim die via a certain circumstance but it takes too long, you could use a mod, the Tombstone of Life and Death, or Rodney's Death Creator. An additional upside is that it minimizes the risk to other sims (and objects, in the case of fire).

Until a pixel learns enough mechanical skills to do it with, I often forget the fact that they don't have it.

"Ok, do your chores"
"NO! NOT THE TRASH COMPACTOR! DON'T TOUCH IT!"
When they're done (and they haven't been electrocuted, amazingly enough..)
"Well, that was a close call! It's still not fixed-go call the repairman right now! I don't need the headache of watching you die!"

"NO LILITH STOP- AHHHHHHHH................."

I don't know why I don't just put her on birth control already, but she's pregnant with baby #5. I'm screaming internally, you live in a two bedroom house for god's sake, Lilith.

Soon after followed by, "What in the everloving fuck is that????" 'Cause there was weird beamy lights all over my lot, like a graphical error. Which is weird bc my GPU is pretty strong. *shrug* I wouldn't be surprised if my computer exploded in 2016, of all the years.

"Chimes?! I thought I built this dorm without any woohoo locations!" - my medieval farm/dorm lot, which I built a few months ago but hadn't play tested until today. The lot has single beds, and chairs instead of couches in the recreation area.

The cc haystacks that can be jumped on must be based off of a sofa, and ACR can use them for woohoo autonomously. I'd forgotten that I'd seen sims sit on them a couple of weeks back, and I hadn't even thought about them being on the lot. Gabriella and Isaiah sneaked off to play in the barn while I was managing a conversation between Gallagher and a dormie, and she's managed to get pregnant before attending even one university class.

Eeeek that's not good! Have you gone through the troubleshooter for graphics glitches?

Ather 9th Dec 2016 6:17 PM

Nah, it disappeared after a minute or two. I'm just gonna chalk it up to leaving the game running for like... Maybe 8 hours? I don't think my computer appreciated that all too much. If it happens again, then I'll be worried.

Bulbizarre 9th Dec 2016 6:28 PM

GPU might've run out of memory. I've run into some interesting issues with that. Missing textures, namely, but once someone's face in Skyrim exploded into a mess of polygons.

"Where's 'Anything with a pulse' or 'Anyone in a skirt'" (when searching for 'Turn Ons' for a teen boy)

Peni Griffin 19th Dec 2016 11:31 PM

I put make-up on all my girls and facial hair on all my boys, and those turn-ons make sims "easy."
For the really die-hard, zombies and robots in the "turn-offs" box stands in nicely for "my type: breathing."

StrangeTownChick 20th Dec 2016 4:32 AM

Come on, we all know of at least one sexy robot.
Or maybe that's just me...

rielynn71 20th Dec 2016 6:34 AM

"Harold! What?!? He's a college student and he's gay. This is the worst blind date ever!"

Said after my sim, Claire, paid the full 5k simoleons to the matchmaker.

I exited without saving but got to thinking about it, and ended up putting them together after all. Now they are one of my favorite couples.

BlueAlien 21st Dec 2016 3:09 AM

"No, I am not going to move that wall so you can steal my Sim's gnome! Why do you think I put it there in the first place?"

Essa 25th Dec 2016 3:47 PM

"No, I don't think so" when I opened Lee-Roy Morneau-Diop's household and saw that Ariana had the want to have another baby. They already have six.
"No, no, no and no" when I noticed that Lee-Roy also had the very same want.
Checked their ACR's settings. Both are on birth control. "Great!"

Justpetro 25th Dec 2016 4:27 PM

"You are kind of cute."
Marcia Mitchell, aging up to child, immediately ran as fast as she could and made all the beds in the house. She has full neat and active points.
She then mopped up a rain puddle outside.
"I could do with a family member like you, Marcia!"

alljoj 25th Dec 2016 4:50 PM

"Tom, are you serious?"
"AND IT'S ON FIRE."
"LET HIM DIE!"
"STOP EXTINGUISHING, WHERE DID YOU EVEN GET THAT?"
"Oh... there goes the cat."

RoxEllen1965 25th Dec 2016 10:32 PM

"OH MY GOD, IT'S ALL OVER THE LIVING ROOM!!!"

(I downloaded a base game compatible CC-free house. It's a nice house, but uses some of my least favorite Maxis base game walls. Just when I thought I'd gotten rid of all of it and was about to save the redecorated lot, I discover that I missed a room.)

Essa 25th Dec 2016 11:37 PM

"Hum, I don't think so!"
Ex-NPC burglar is still in jail. His current wants are "work in politics (no interest in politics), work in music (little interest for music) and work in architecture (he's not graduated)".
He still has one year to decide what to do with his life.

Feestrang 25th Dec 2016 11:54 PM

first levels of those last two jobs are good if he's not graduated, tho. You can use Job Stopinator here to make him unable to get promotions. I use it all the time for that

LyokoGirl5000 29th Dec 2016 8:33 AM

"No, you can't have another baby. You just had quadruplets, why would you even want more?!" To my sim who had alien quads and immediately rolled a want to have a baby.
"Congratulations, it's ANOTHER girl. You'd better pop out a boy soon or your family name is over." To a couple in my medieval challenge who had six girls in a row.
"If I catch you jumping on that bed again, it's off to the drowning pool!" To a kid sim who had skipped school by jumping on the bed while I was busy making sure his brothers and sister got to school.
"What did I just say?!" To a single sim who gave birth to twins right after I said I didn't want more than one baby.

Essa 29th Dec 2016 10:27 PM

@Feestrang, I'm using the Job stopinator aswell. ;-)

"Posing sims is such a pain" while trying to take pictures. "I'm wondering how I did enjoy it when I was doing beauty contests back in the days".

Devon Aster 30th Dec 2016 11:46 PM

"Now you're worrying about your college performance meter?" To one of my YA sims who decided 4 minutes before her final was the perfect time to roll wants to influence someone to do her assignment and term paper.

Catwoman44 31st Dec 2016 12:47 AM

"Keira, get a life!" - She was sitting in front of the computer all night.
"How in the world did you get in here?!" - On a community lot, noticing a female Sim in the men's restroom.
"I actually wanted to get a Shaman drum, not to be your personal janitor." - When meeting the Witch Doctor in Twikkii Island.

Booney 31st Dec 2016 1:05 AM

"NO, VIDCUND CANNOT ANSWER THE PHONE, HE IS TRYING TO GET ABDUCTED!"

Catwoman44 31st Dec 2016 8:38 PM

"Samu, you have some serious issues!"
"Samu, stop punching the social bunny! It's not his fault that you're insane!"
"Samu, if you set the kitchen on fire again, you'll become the gardener of my Cowplant garden!"
"Samu, what the hell was that for?!" (While I played another family, he came by and kicked over the trash can, even though he wasn't mad at any of the family members. )

I think my other Sim, Mathi, is actually afraid of his housemate by now.
