Custom houses one life story

<< < (2/3) > >>

No, not in the custom games (Life Stories and Castaway). But it's not such a big disaster - you learn how to build houses from scratch, and it's very good training.

In Castaway, I am not given even empty lots, and I have to move the sims to the sim bin, and redecorate, or delete everything and build a new house instead - and then return them to their new home.

Besides, you can always play TS2...:).

Since Life Stories uses a SimLSPack (or something like that!)...maybe there is a way to put a house using that...

it's theoretically possible that one could add houses to the lotbin manually if one had both The Sims 2 and Life Stories.

Basically import the downloaded lot into TS2 then manually move (and probably rename) the BASE-GAME ONLY house from

~(My) Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\LotCatalog

to

~(My) Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims Life Stories\LotCatalog

Like I said, this is theory, I never tried it.

Alternately you could be really brave and create a Teleport folder for Life Stories:

~(My) Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims Life Stories\Teleport

and use Sims2Pack Clean Installer to install the lot (with the sims2import script!) to that Teleport folder instead of the TS2 Teleport folder

But again - this is pure speculation on my part - I didn't try it when I had LS installed, so I can't vouch for it working

I tried this myself and found that it didn't work; too many of the files want to overwrite each other when doing this, for some reason, and those that remained did not show up in-game.

What was successful, however, was using the S2P Clean Installer to extract the files to the TS2 Teleport file as usual, then simply moving those files to my new SLS Teleport folder. Now I can have my little lots again!

Hopefully this method works universally for installing lots.

Thank you you guys so much. I can have beautiful houses in my game now :D
