Does Brainania come with a secret society lot?

@nikel23
Yes, it does.

Essa, is there some way to make dormies members because it only spawned me 8 dormies and none wear the jacket.

Jo I'm afraid I can't help on that one.
AFAIK dormies in my game are all members of the SS. I don't know why. My playables barely interact with dormies.
They only wear their jackets on the SS lot.

Back in the days I had this cheat set to 50. My sim was abducted and my game lagged. Then my sim was on a SS lot full of SS members.

My dormies don't wear their member outfits at the dorm, not sure if it was a game update or caused by a mod. They do wear it when I meet them at community lots though so you might have members already.

If you turn on testing cheats and shift click the mailbox, create townies while in the Uni hood, it creates YAs - 50 I think. I just added to my pool, but I could be off on the number.

mailbox- force create townies, creates 30 townies. I think it creates the same amount of YAs when done in a Uni hood.

The way I found Secret Society members was going to the Uni community lots, watch the zones and pause as a sim just begins to show up. Mine never actually wore the uniform on lots. If you catch them fast enough, you will see the uniform which changes to normal clothes once they fully spawn. Another thing I noticed was a member walking by dorm about 10 PM while in the uniform. This might be a check to see if anyone there has the requirements, then the limo would show up about an hour later. It might be possible to talk to them too. If you happen to know who they are, match their picture to the college option to call any sims, you can gain points talking to them by phone. An easier way to get into S.S., other than cheats, is make friends with adult graduates before going to Uni. Of course, this only works if you have adults who have graduated. (: I haven't played Uni for sometime now, this info I learned in game prior to UC and don't know if things changed when other packs were installed.

@Duine: Actually, those adults don't need to have graduated. They merely need to have been in college - even if they just bummed out or were expelled -, *and* they need to have been introduced into the SS.

Alright, thanks! I'm pretty sure there's a way to turn a dormie into SS member, but it's been years since I last played TS2 so it's gonna take a while for me to figure it out. There's no dormie in my Brainania though. I never met one because it's populated by playable Sims already.

Is there a hotkey to switch through the slot placement on items? I'm watching speedbuilds and I noticed this builder in particular just keeps going through the slot placements, so there must be some sort of hotkey, I'd imagine.

'M' is the key you are looking for. I watch speed builds too and someone asked about it and the person said it was 'M'. Starting using it myself

P.S - thanks for the follows on tumblr!

Thanks for the help!

And you're very welcome. Your gameplay is... might I say... charming?

Thank you and you are welcome! I hope to see more posts on yours in the future, and considering your spring breaks schedule...I think that may be true!

Here's my random/stupid question. I went on a search for eyeglasses to download and was surprised at how few I found. Are they hard to make compared to other cc, or do other people just not like to have glasses-wearing sims?

party questions::
can a party type be changed in the middle of a party (through any means)?
party Wants; do they get fulfilled regardless of who hosts the party or would the host need to be a specific sim for the Want to be fulfilled?
can 2 or more parties occur at the same time (through any means)?

Party type can not be changed.
Only the person making the phone call to call the party gets the aspiration points for it.
You can overlap parties with dates and outings (even by the same person) so you can probably overlap parties with parties called by other household members. I've never tried it, but they should each get their own party meter, only seen when t he person throwing the party is the active sim.
You might as well try it.

Speaking of parties, what exactly is a "sports party"?

Just as it sounds. Sims watch sports on TV, their friends grab snacks from the fridge, and they watch the box and cheer a lot. Doesn't always work like that for me, but really works well with uni students.

Thank you.

Another quick question: I'm considering upgrading my Windows 7 installation to 64-bit. Does the Sims 2 have any problems running on this?

Plenty of us use Win 7 64 bit, so no, but of course your millage may vary depending on what else you have set up.

Thanks. Might take a little longer than I expected. External hard drive's power adapter just went kaput.

Years ago I downloaded a lot with an arch in front that the creator made with CFE. The triangles on that arch drive me crazy but I can't tear it down. I've tried all the normal delete functions and used the sledgehammer on it, but it doesn't move. Is there a trick to getting rid of something built using CFE?

Is there a general way to change things made with CFE? I have lots that were built using CFE that I'd like to modify but cannot figure out how.
