Can you play the Titanic song, My Heart Will Go On, with a guitar? Cause this feels like that sort of vibe.

It just drives me crazy! Some of my guests want to use the toilet but guests will be taking their sweet time taking a full bubble bath lol.

Well, I always have a couple of extra bathrooms. In fact, I always have at the very least two. Well, usually two for residential lots, more for dorms and such. (I'm currently in a custom-made 20 room dorm. Between those sims and the party guests, 4 bathrooms just about cover it.)

The bigger problem for me is when they decide to congregate in the bathroom, like the holy grail is about to spawn there, to the point where nobody else can get in or out. Or on public lots like hotels... well, I could link you to a German LP series where nobody could order food, because the waitress couldn't get out of the flippin' toilet stall for THREE DAYS in a row. I'm not exaggerating. There'd always be some berks deciding that out of all the nice places, like the beach, the dance floor, the hot springs, the nice reception, or the nice restaurant for that matter, the toilet was THE place to be.

It's why I use Pescado's "Toilet Uses You" religiously lately, really.

BTW, here's another idea that worked for me before: you can have your own bathroom with the bubble bath and all, locked for all but family members, and a bathroom with a toilet, a sink and the soviet toilet paper for guests. Well, I usually give it a shower too (but not bath/shower combo), 'cause I like them having their motives high. But if their using the shower bothers you, you can skip that one.

Grandma actually had a Ragdoll like that. He'd get a heaped plate in the evening. Invariably when I went to the bathroom in the middle of the night, that plate wasn't just, you know, empty in the middle or something. It was POLISHED clean. And he'd meow his little lungs out at me, with the sheer desperation of someone who's been stranded on a desert island without food for a week. I'd usually give him two sausages or so, 'cause I was way too sleepy to open a can or something, and that just about allowed him to last until dawn.

Yeah, if you think the hunger desperation animation of the sims is over the top, wait until you've seen a cat do it

Mind you he was a big cat. Ragdols are a big breed, but still... it was like he had a portal to a black hole in his tummy.

I had two bathrooms in that house, both with people in the tubs taking bubble baths lol. I'll try to implement a powder room in my sims' homes just for guests, if they can afford it.

Btw, have you considered... witchcraft? Because there's a low level spell that can get them out of the tub real quick.

"Well, that's one way of learning what 'rendez-vous' means..."

I play Sims 2 in different languages, despite only being anything like fluent in one (English), and currently it's in French, Well, it was past 1 am on my computer and I probably should have been in bed a couple of hours before, so I was starting to struggle with the translations. One of the Apartment Life socialites offered Herbert Bonnot something at a party. I thought it was the contact request, thought it sounded good and accepted. Then the contact didn't show up. I'd just thought "oops, I've clicked the wrong option, haven't I?" when a rather irate Froancoise Bonnot started slapping her husband.

I'd accidentally accepted a date for Herbert, with his wife right there eating spaghetti on the other side of the same room, with a clear view of everything.

The date went remarkably well, and the Bonnots are still sulking at each other over the misunderstanding. Sorry, Francoise and Herbert...

"Please no, please no...grrr!" That being when I heard the lullaby after ACR try-for-baby by Sims who don't need that now.
"So good at everything...so stupid." Drama professors and cheerleaders.
"So wrong...works so well." Seducing professors for grades.
"I'm glad I don't go to this school." Although I have actually seen things in higher education that do resemble Sims universities...

"Ginger, I really don't think it's a good idea to slide down the banisters while carrying a toddler!"

"Ah no wait! Ugh!"
Didn't manage to catch teen healer apprentice before he grabbed food to cook. There were leftovers already!
"Fine. It would serve the jerk right if he caught fire. I'd have to find Letha Bigge a new boyfriend though and-,"
Build mode grays out as the stove catches fire.
*Covers face, silently rages*

Come ... Omg ... here Hamilton ... XD
Well, you just will be friends .... Or not ... XD
Hamilton, what about Sandy? And your mama not far from here ...
Hey, where are you? Left already ...
Yo, Peter does not even mind hugging! Let us take you on a note!
Get away, this is our man! Go to the beard ...
Come on, Alex, this dude does not like you. He's cancer. What, one bolt? Do not, Alex, you just like his beard.
Ding dong don ... interesting ... now you will even be and not alone Alex ...

BUT BUT that's a fire
 

You stupid firefighter that is a fire!!!!!

Driving me to

Is that a breadfruit tree? There's a glitch where once it catches fire, the animation doesn't stop even when the fire's out. Cyjon made a fix for it: Link

Though having a giant flaming tree in your yard's kind of awesome.

This morning: "STOP IT. GET OUT OF THE WAY. GO CLEAN A COUNTER OR SOMETHING! NANNIES HAVE DIED FOR LESS!! Oh, you are so fired, you white-gloved idiot."

Instance was I was trying to get Dad to take the toddler outside and teach him how to walk. Dad sets the kid down and doesn't even have a chance to start teaching before the damned butler swoops in, scoops up the kid and takes off with him, god knows what for. The child was wide awake, well fed, clean, happy and comfortable; he did not need to be scooped-and-dragged off for whatever.

The Silvestris no longer have a butler.

No not the breadfruit tree it was the weeping willow tree.

It was raining and lightning hit and the rain normally puts it out but not this time it just kept on burning, I had to move the kids away and called the fire department and that was what happen.

After going back into the game the tree burnt down to ashes and had to be cleaned up.

So you got a glitch when rain actually did put out of fire, but it glitched. I had several times trees burning after thundrestorms when last strike got a tree and my firefighters were kind enough to extinguish it.
Maybe try get fewer lightning fires from Cyjon http://www.cyjon.net/node/253, then will be less chances for happening it again.





Go over to Leefish and get BO's mod. Then Silvestris can have butler again.

- "How can you forget you had stuff in the oven, you were in there a few seconds ago!"

- "Come on James if you stop panicking and put the fire out you won't die"

"Wait, where's all the new CC that I just--aw, damn, I forgot to extract it."

Dammit!

No! Put the toddler in the crib!

Oh I give up!

And when you have quads or triplets : " No he doesn't go in THAT crib! Aaah screw it, the parents need some sleep"

Valentine is a rich husband? This is the one who has accounted for 252 simoleons?
This is something for which I love parties in the Sims! (Accidental betrayal)
I do not know what you found in her, she does not even have tits.
Our fireman is a coal ... (the guy was generated by a black skin)
Oh, go away already!
Well, where did you go?
Stand! It's not your bed.
Insidious Cat!

If you marry into a household, the entire value of the household is calculated for purposes of the "married rich sim" memory. I've had Mary Land get that memory from marrying into the Hart household when they only had $25 cash in hand; but the house and furnishings are worth well over the requisite $50K.

Oh, I have just them! Mary became a member of the family made 52 siml, they themselves 252 (had to immediately sell the arch to buy a cake), it means that because of their house ... It is furnished not cheap ...

"...okey?"
When I suddenly realized that, technically speaking, Pascal Curious is a pregnant virgin when game starts.

"No zombies, ever, pixels! There's a perfectly good one in the Townie neighborhood, and if you don't start behaving, I'm gonna bring him in and make you wish you'd never been born..now stop with wanting to turn poor old dead Gabrielle into one!"

(The aforesaid zombie is a product of testing a hack. It worked..and created zombie got sent out of town quick..he's been in exile a very long time...)

"Why do you have a dozen birthday cakes in your inventory?" - to Gabe O'Mackey, frequent customer of J'Adore Bakery.

"Oh, shut up about defeating Death, Lillith. You're evil, you should love the cowplant. Well, mostly evil."

"Damn it! They've held hands before I could stop them. Now they'll have to get married..."

Gives handfasting a whole new meaning. XD

This is why I block any playable sims to visit other people's businesses

I wish there was a hack that allowed you to ban playables from buying stuff on a lot by lot basis. I use Paladin's no playable shoppers, which stops them buying anything, but I wouldn't mind them buying things like cakes or perfume autonomously, just not pets or robots or furniture.

I use business controller (so I can decide which sims can visit my shops by age, interests, type [townie/playable/downtownie/etc.] and a few other criteria) and customer limit adjuster. It was very annoying when I decided to have an owned venue with a ticket machine and had only 3 customers.

"You guys can't woohoo now! Your daughter is about to blow the candles on her cake out!"

Can I have your ability to master any skill by having done something similar? Child sim paints badly for a few days. Grows to a teen. Her father has played guitar and nothing but since he was a teen. So of course his daughter picks it up for the first time ever and shreds like the guy from Buckethead.

"Did you just set the shed on fire?"
"Did you just walk into the fire?"
"What are you going to do with that?"
"Clearly, she doesn't want to talk to you!"

I use Pescado's No automonous pet buying, and works very well for me. One of my Sims -LunarEclipse's Sim, actually, Count D.- has a pet shop, but none of my other Sims can buy pets when I play Count D.

"Inappropriate much?"
Chloe Curious - Smith wanted to flirt with Nervous Subject. During Nervous and Pascal Curious' wedding party.
"Well, of course. Risky woohoo baby. Congratulations, Chloe."
She woohooed with Peter Ottomas, so I guess I should congratulate Dora too. Her LTW will be fulfilled.

I don't play a lot of community lots, but don't you get a choice the next time you enter the playable's lot about whether you actually want the pet?

You do. But some people feel bad about throwing the poor pet out when it happens.

Yes, you get that choice, but if you don't want your 'hood being full with stray kitties and dogs you'd better not pick that option. Besides, I may be heartless with people, and my Sims, but with pets? NEVER! [Our four kitties, two of them found on the street nearly dead, can attest to this.]

I was wondering what happened to the pets in that case. Interesting.

Not really a thing I said, but I thought it XD .

Dear Teodor, I'm sure everyone is impressed with the fact that you could carry out your duties with aplomb without batting an eye at milady taking her bath in the same room. But... could you... maybe... not. You don't need to pounce on the toilets as soon as someone is done with them. It can wait! They're not going to wander off anywhere while people wash their hands or their bodies after. You can put it off until they've exited the bathroom. Also, could you please leave once you're done, instead of standing about in the tiny bit of floor available? It gets congested. Also, also, while I'm glad you were very attentive to the little master and beelined for him the second he dirtied his diaper (dad was eating and mom on the phone), do you have something against the crib? It was right there. Behind you. Across from the changing table. All you had to do was turn around. You literally placed him next to it. Why!?

Since installing the mod to make hotel maids actually clean instead of standing around at the front desk all day doing absolutely nothing, they now do this too. I had one rush in to make the bed while my honeymoon couple were engaging in a post-woohoo romantic hug in their underwear. Like, um...? I guess I should have put up the Do Not Disturb sign, but I didn't think of it until after. And yeah, she'll come in to clean the toilet while they're in the shower...

"Dammit, Gilbert."



Also, to my cat while I was playing: "No, my leg is not a scratching post! Shoo!"

ihatemandatoryregister: Um, what happend? I have never seen info bars like that.

I use this http://modthesims.info/download.php?t=185681

Aha, I suspected it was a hack. OK then.

"No, stop, you cannot hit on the dude your dad caught your mom making your brother with! Oh, but wait, you have three bolts and all of his genes are recessive... Ok, maybe you can marry him, we'll see".

Concerning pets bought at pet shops while the household was inactive - if you refuse the pet, no pet is created, so they do not fill up your neighborhood with strays!

I normally click yes because the more the merrier, and I've gotten some awesome pets that way, but one time I didn't want a dog in an apartment. I clicked yes, waited while the pet was generated, got a dog, quit without saving. About a dozen times - never once did they roll a cat! You can tell when the pet is being generated, because the game sits there generating it for quite awhile.

"Naw, this is not what I want to do with my small window of simming time. I'm getting a house for the Ottomai." I had opened up one of the community lots in Pleasantview to make it over for the early 20th century, been interrupted, and was sick of it after laboriously getting rid of the supertall lattice foundation supporting the balcony off the second level of the clothing store.

Peter looks very dashing in a fedora and tie, by the way.

@Peni Griffin - I noticed that the pet generation thingy is affected by rolling the pacifier. Maybe you could try that next time.

"Get out of that refrigerator! Cancel! Cancel! You just ordered a pizza! I swear to god, I will smite you if you pull a turkey out of that fridge."

If you refuse the pet a pet is created, no matter what. Rereading the thread at MATY, pioupiou claims the pet goes to the adoption pool. If so, then the pets bought by townies are the ones who become strays.

Oh, well that's kind of a neat way to fill up a depleting adoption pool, isn't it? Thanks for the info.

I brought my simming laptop to my boyfriends house with me today. This is the first time I played Sims in front of him. Mid-way through playing one of my greek houses (after constantly shouting at my Student sims to be studying) I turned to him and said "I hope you know it's not that I don't like the game, it's just that some of my sims are lazy slackers and I like to shout at my computer when I'm alone"

After hearing chimes, and finding the two Sims who fell in love: "YOU TWO ARE SUPPOSED TO BE STRAIGHT!"

But...They're cute together. Time to update my spreadsheet, I guess.

"What are you doing... WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! No, no, get away... stop doing that! You're interrupting my photoshoot!"

Sometimes it's best to turn free will off (both for Sims and pets) when you're trying to take pictures, lest your subjects wander off to play fetch.

I like using this http://modthesims.info/d/303295

Yep, I use that too, although I mostly use it to freeze a Sim into a pose I want them to be in. Generally I just turn free will off, though, so I don't have to keep unfreezing them every time I want to take a new picture; it was just that time that I happened to forget to disable free will. That freezer clock does have some other, more evil purposes though... what's better than locking some Sim into the kitchen, having them leave something on the stove, freezing them, and watching them be engulfed in flames? Muhahaha! In that case, I have another quote:

"Ha! You're frozen, but you're burning at the same time! Feeling cold? Or really, really HOT HOT HOT?"

No! I just bought that $2,200 bed!! You stupid dog.
It's not your job to answer the doorbell- you're a vampire for christ sake and its's the middle of the day. Get back into your coffin.
Oh hurry up and make friends with my sim. He's already on 60 and he needs a friend for his job.
What do you mean you "hardly hear from me anymore"- I just got off the phone with you you ungrateful sim.

"Why is everyone in this store always lost? It's not exactly that big..."

After hearing chimes again, and seeing the Sim who did it: "Oh noooooooooooo. You really like to get yourself into trouble, don't you?"

Because the two Sims that this Sim fell in love with are twins. And. despite my often-repeated advice in the story dilemma thread, neither of them are down for a polyamorous relationship.

One my husband said while playing this evening: "You're already on a date!" because his sim, while on a date with her husband, rolled on the want, "Ask sim on a date." We were both rolling our eyes at that.

"Um, maybe you should reconsider bragging about that."

Alexandra Teatherton walked up to Erin Beaker and began bragging about her first WooHoo with Gabe O'Mackey.

Here are a few things I say sometimes, well a lot of times:

- NO! Go do what I said not what YOU want!
- LEAVE the toddler alone! He/she doesn't need a bath! ( I said this when I didn't know about the mods)
- Stop screaming at me! I'm trying to make you feel better!
- Baby is full so stop feeding countless amounts of bottles to him!
- Don't you dare stamp on those roaches!

"How does this toddler even know he can learn cleaning? How is he possibly aware of the existence of CC toys that aren't even present on his lot?"

"You look like a giraffe."

"Who the hell designed the Viejo house?"

I swear, that layout makes absolutely no sense.

"Its nearly 3 am,I really should stop playing and go to bed."

"Jacob, is telling dirty jokes to your ex's mother really the best idea?"

"I used to do this without CC all the time... I'm spoiled."
After getting game back and running. Still haven't got Downloads folder in shape, though. All essential mods are working, of course, but furniture and decors will take some time. Where my new sims will live meanwhile, no idea.

"where are all the handsome dudes...? DO I HAVE TO MAKE THEM?!?!"

"DONT DO THAT!"

"Nuhnuhnuhnuhnonononono!"

While playing TS3 for a change: "Wait, I have that as a conversion!" "And that!" "And THAT!" "What's wrong with these kittens?"

I talk to myself a lot while building. Some of the more interesting things...

"This fence needs to move. Oh, it's not a fence, it's a half-wall. Oh, that is a fence, for the gate!"
"We can't have them sitting down there while talking."
"Will this broom block the toilets?" (I meant, would it block access to the toilet stalls if I leaned it against the wall!)
"I need more than one sink!" (Why can't you place multiple sinks like you can dining chairs? Public toilets need that!)
"No way I can use that in a building full of lawyers." (Thanks to Torts class, I couldn't let myself use a wrought-iron fence as the gallery rail in the courthouse hallway, even though it looked good. It was just too low, too pointy...the spiral stairs were cutting it too close already, and I needed them for space reasons.)
"I need a banana peel." (After finding suitable railings that didn't clash with the stairs, I wanted to throw in some unforeseeable circumstances!)
"Were will the <bleeeep> closet fit?"
"I love this door."
"Yes, yes, more books!"
"Well, that will do."
"That computer does not belong here."

lately its more or less... "DONT FLIRT WITH---noooo"

my hood is now filled with backstabbing two timing heart breakin sims.

"WHY WON'T YOU DIE?!"
"WHY DID YOU DIE?!"

"bleep you and your bleep points"

"I give up"
"Twins?! nonono this town does not need more twins!!!!"

"You're not supposed to grow up with that face. Now what do I do with you? I think this game just hates me". I sent the goth blond Tricou to college, and despite using clean and fixed templates for everything, his face was still borked

The templates fix corruption, not the broken face templates.

Velvetina there are two face templates that are broken. The cleaned templates don't fix those face templates, you will need something like this mod: http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/s...pic,9028.0.html

No? Then what is this in Tarlia's page?

I've had Argon's fix since forever, but it doesn't fix sims made before putting it. And another downtownie teen with a borked face in the non-clean template grew up without her face mutating in the fixed downtown template I use, so I don't know what happened with the goth Tricou.

Tarlia missed a few Sims. Hal Capp is one.

So there's support for my suspicion that he's a changeling...

"Why are you still mad at him-- oH right, in university your husband kissed your best friend."
"...bUT THAT WAS 5 YEARS AGO."

The only fairies I know of in Veronaville are the Summerdreams. Did they have something to do with this?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Not so much what I said, as what I did: When I put an espresso machine in the Hamptons' house, Marvyn went straight over to it with the "What's this?" interaction. It obviously met with his approval, because he looked straight at me with a very positive look on his face. I think he must also have given me the thumbs up sign, because I found myself involuntarily giving him the thumbs up sign back. I think I also said, "Yeah! It's a good piece of kit!", but maybe it was Marvyn who said that.

The last thing I said while playing the game was:"Go away,you stupid ghost!I don't want my good sims to die!"
And one of my favorites is:"What are you doing?!Are you a nanny or what?!"

The fixed face templates will prevent future problems, but won't fix already existing broken faces like Hal Capp. To fix sims that already have broken faces you need to use either SimPE or the DNA fixer in my signature.

Sadly, my sister has moved out of the city I live in so she doesn't come over anymore to play sims 2 and bless me with her impatient and hilarious quips but my husband will sometimes get into these rare, bored moods where he'll start 'dubbing' what he thinks my sims are saying and they end up making my sides split.

For example, last night:

I have four elders playing pool because the grandfather is retired, had some friends over during the day while everyone else in his house is at work/school. He leans over to make a shot and I hear my husband say in a voice akin to an old gold prospector: "This reminds me of the time when my stick was hard"

I mean damn dog, inapropes but I couldn't help but to start laughing wildly.

As the grandfather bids his friends farewell they walk past the grandson who has come home and is on the computer and I hear in the same voice: "Young person, are you on the you tubes?"

"So he buys some organic garlics from farm, and suddenly his morning cereal is all homemade and sparkly?"

mmmmmmmmmm, garlic cereals. You probably heard of lemon spaghetti sauce right?

I had to google. It looks good.

Oh! it's a thing? I was just trying to be funny...oops. lol

@RoxEllen1965 If it's not too much, would you mind giving an overview of what the DNA fixer does? I read the ReadMe but I found it a little hard to understand.

@ourladyplumbob The DNA fixer makes plastic surgery permanent. It sets the new face shape to be genetic. The DNA fixer will not affect skin, hair or eye color.

Most of the readme file in the .zip appears to be a changelog. I see that it mentions a tutorial, but if there is one in the readme file I can't find it. That's why I wrote my own and included screenshots.

http://www.modthesims.info/showthre...686#post5111686

What exactly do you do to fix the broken faces? Use Body Shop to generate by age up a new face, somehow get it onto the broken Sim, and run the DNA fixer?

Just do ordinary plastic surgery on your sims, save the game and exit the game. For existing sims with broken face templates like Hal Capp, a minor tweak like the corner of the mouth or tip of the nose should be enough. You just need to make enough of a change that the DNA Fixer will detect that a change has been made.

Google has everything, but I don't think I'll try it. https://www.bettycrocker.com/recipe...e2-051502e7d133

Reminds me of the time I was reading a grilled cheese recipe book I found online and there was a Nutella grilled cheese sandwich.

And I though I was missing out on some trend...

I would totally try that!
garlic & butter on bread (wheat)
butter & garlic salt on popcorn (corn)
garlic & butter on cheerios (oats) Sure. Why not? :-)

What I've said while playing?
"No, no, no. You are pretty. You are smart. You have so much going for you! Why in the world would you kiss HIM?"

We don't have Cheerios here (well, we do, but they're sausages), so for all I knew it was a sugary cereal and garlic. XD
