Very handy yellow box, I detonate footpath out of stock sales with it all the time.

Can Bodyshapes be genetic? If I have a sim with an androgynous shape, could her child possibly inherit that bodyshape?

Bad news I have a child in Coral Bay with a LTW. :/ I ran Hood checker then I opened simpe and it said LTW grow up, so I clicked it to be sure, committed and saved but in game it still says 50 first dates. I'm worried it came from a dorm, when I installed it and went in there were well known dormie pictures on the doors *sigh* Is there anyway to remove this LTW and how come it shows grow up in simpe. I'm at a loss how to fix this.

post #677; according to the base game Prima Guide, facial features can be inherited. for brow, nose, jaw; a male's has 66% chance of being dominant, and a female's 50%. eyes/mouth, it is the other way; 50% for male, 66% for female.
I guess those would be the sim's expressed gender.

post #678; some things to try::
-copy the neighborhood to AnyGameStarter; also any custom content the neighborhood has.
-open relevant custom content in Clean Installer (one at a time) and check if they have anything that might cause it.

joandsarah77 24th Apr 2016 4:22 AM

How would looking at my custom content in clean installer show me if cc was causing the LTW? I suspect that dorm and all the broken sim references it must have brought. Or do you mean because it doesn't show in simpe that it's simply graphical from some mod?

Does anybody know why moving my cursor over a bar would cause my sims to jump? Even interacting with the bar causes them to jump. The drink for a moment and then jump/reset. It even changes their profile picture (I think it is called this?). My guess is that it is mod related as it is happening on bars that came with the game.

The jump signals that the object is throwing an error, which the game is solving by resetting the Sim. If you had testingcheatsenabled on, it would show you the error. Almost certainly a CC problem. Back up your hoods, and do a good old 50/50. Once you found the problem, replace your neighbourhoods from backup to make sure the lack of CC did not botch something.

I think running the Hack Conflict Detection Utility may help narrow it down, possibly.

gummilutt 24th Apr 2016 7:45 PM

It's worth a shot, definitely I don't know many bar-related mods, so that's why I assumed it's more likely to be either faulty CC or CC that isn't correctly updated to current game engine, rather than a conflict between two mods.

Pescado's OFB hacks, will cause glitches with custom bars, I don't remember if it glitched Maxis bars. It nearly drove me nuts trying to understand what the hell was happening when I had that problem.

I also recommend checking your latest Error Log. It can give you more information about what happened i.e what happened at the time of the error.

Might it be the fix that lets you assign a playable as bartender?

it was on a business lot and I don't quite remember what happened. I just couldn't run the restaurant properly and eventually tracked it down to his OFB hacks.

I think I have that (I think it is called Bartending.package). Not sure how to use the conflict detector with UC though. I'll try to get rid of it and see what happens.

EDIT: The bartending.package was actually a part of a career download pack. For some reason, taking it out caused the sim to disable and live mode to be disabled when i moved the cursor over the bar. I think I'll put it back in and see what happens. I probably should have realized something was wrong when there was no bartender on the lot as per usual (the lot has a bar).

To use the conflict detector with UC - make a copy of your The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection folder (Inside My Documents/EA Games) - rename it to The Sims 2. Leave both files there and run the HCDU - you can delete the copy after.

Is there a way to get sims to dance in front of the DJ booth as opposed to around the sides or even behind it?

joandsarah77 25th Apr 2016 2:36 PM

There is the dance positioner. That's by pescado.

Thanks, just downloaded it. (after a fashion) :D

AndrewGloria 25th Apr 2016 3:08 PM

If I really care, I just tell them to "Go here" before telling them to dance. Even though I'm a bit of a control freak, I usually let them decide for themselves where they dance. Usually they choose the dance floor!

BoilingOil 25th Apr 2016 3:27 PM

In the "My Muse: Music & Dance Studio" hobby lot, the whole room around the DJ Booth is a dance floor! But I'ma hunt for that mod now... sure makes sense to me.

Edit, oh no, I can't. Because helpful as you are, you didn't add a link And google isn't likely to help me ever. If I type "Pescado dance positioner", it will no doubt simply give me a link to this thread!!!

AliaD85 25th Apr 2016 3:29 PM

Is it okay to use Rebecah's rideable horses since they're NPCs? How would I delete them from the game?

Make sure you want them, and make sure you keep them in your download folder. You can get the sim to sell them when you no longer want to play them any more. I use them all the time, but am safe because there's no way I'm removing them from my game.

So when I'm ready to get rid of them, sell them. And if I want to remove them from the downloads folder, make sure none are in game first?

I can definitely do that!
