Height Change
spyda:
I cant really say ive noticed, if it interferes with actions, I know that if you make say, One sim 5'0" and another 6'0" or taller then it can look a little odd when they interact with each other for like you say kissing, but as far as i remember that was ass. I'm guess that the easiest way is to use the manual cheat, and try out some actions, but im FAR too lazy to do that :p And then if you dont like the heights at least it'll all reset itself next time you load in, or reset height it to 1.0 Im not technically minded enough to answer anything else sorry :'(,
As for changing the heights with SimPE, I downloaded an older version, strange as it seems, even though i was confused with the new one, the old one looks about the same, but i seem to know what im doing on the old one .. odd .. But thank you again for the links and help!

I've always wondered about changing heights of the sims, but I won't be doing this though through SimPE but rather using the stretch skeleton cheat but I was wondering was if you changed there height would this interfere with interactions between other sims, I mean if you would have your shorter sim kiss another sim would the interactions be the same or would they look funny? I've always wanted to change heights but I was afraid I would bork the game so never messed with it, but what would you set the stretch skeleton to? I'm confused about messing my sims up and if the sims would still act the same so does anyone know for sure what will happen and how to do it with boolprop? thanks for the help ;D
If you haven't seen Wolfgeek's handy chart for setting heights within a realistic range, you might want to print out a copy for ready reference:

The greater the difference in height between any two Sims, the more likely that some interactions will look odd (but only the look will be odd; the interactions themselves will play out as per normal).
Changing heights in-game (using realistic heights) won't bork your game. Using very, very extreme short or tall numbers (numbers well beyond what is shown on Wolfgeek's chart) can bork the game.
Easy to do in the cheat box (no boolprop required). Select the Sim whose height you want to alter, open the cheat box, type in:
stretchSkeleton
then a space
then the number
and press Enter
So, to make a Sim 6-foot-six:
stretchSkeleton 1.0833
Don't forget that all important decimal point!
The same Sim's height can be altered multiple times during gameplay (so if a height you've chosen isn't working out for your needs, just change that Sim's height again). After exiting, the next time you enter that lot, all Sims will be back to default height.
If you want a permanent height change, that can be done using SimPE.

Thank you so much for that information rwills ;D I will check out Wolfgeek's chart see what I can do, because I hate every sim to be the same height, its just not realistic in my opinion but I don't see why the game won't save the height change, but do you think you can send me a tutorial on changing the height through SimPE in this thread if I decide I like the height change? :D well let me go see that chart and save all this info in my notepad because my printer is out of ink :p
Naria:
SimGirl20, the two links I provided to the original thread starter are a tutorial on how to change the height in SimPE, and a list of heights and their Sim equivalent to change it to. It's a good tutorial and was fairly easy to follow, even without knowledge of SimPE.
SimGirl20:
Oh I'm sorry Naria I didn't even see those links *face palm* thanks very much ;D
