I'd like to see the game have an option to be more or less realistic. For example, Sims could have car accidents on the way to work (sometimes fatal, sometimes not), and if they ARE fatal, Sims could still call up the Grim Reaper and bargain with him to get their loved ones back.... that is, if they wanted that Sim to live longer. They could even get traffic tickets and have to pay the fine. Really, I could give a MILLION examples, but suffice it to say, again, more realism. AND, I hope they carry over the ceilings feature from "Apartment Life". I've wanted THAT for foreverrrr!

EDIT: Oh, and one more thing... DIMPLES!

First of all, if you don't already have the InSimenator, you should get that... it will make this process SO much easier. I recommend the DEST version of it, but read through and decide which one's right for you. Once you have this in your game, click anywhere on your lot (on the ground), and choose "Spawn...", then choose "personality adjuster". An urn will appear... this is the personality adjuster. Click on it and go to "Personality 0%"... set "My Niceness" to 0%. VOILA! Your Sim will soon alienate him/herself from everyone they know!

RECAP:  Click on any floor tile--> "Spawn"--> "Personality Adjuster"-->"Personality 0%"-->"My Niceness"

Now... if you're talking in terms of physical unattractiveness, just use the plastic surgery career reward. If they don't have platinum aspiration, they'll come out deformed anyway. If they do, you can decide which features you'd like to change to make the sim as physically unattractive as you want Sorry for the LONG response, but I hope it helps!

LOL... ughh... my plan didn't quite work as well as I would've liked. Exactly how did you do that clearing the neighborhood thing?

Hey Chaavik! I've found a remedy for this problem I simply use the InSim to get one of my "pretty/handsome" Sims pregnant with their OWN babies... meaning they are both mother AND father. This keeps the "pretty/handsome" genes dominant, thus making the dating pool larger and full of more desirable Sims!...Voila! Now if only I could find a way to kill EVERY ugly Sim in my neighborhood efficiently... *goes off to plot a strategy*

Yeah... I have the "Find A Mate" crystal ball, but that only gives 5 choices, and usually they're REALLY ugly, LOL! So I was just thinking maybe you could add an online dating service that really lets the user choose from a pool of eligible bachelors/bachelorettes. Now, of course not all of the eligible bachelors/bachelorettes will be a perfect fit chemistry-wise, but hey... that's how real dating sites ARE Ya gotta keep trying till ya find the right one! Oh, and maybe they could narrow their search by skintone and hair color too.

Okay, Chaavik, it's working now I'm not really sure WHAT it was that I changed that made it come back or whatever, though. I uninstalled EVERYTHING that had ANYTHING to do with "Monique's Hacked Computer", and then installed your new "Expensive" version of it. I have not had the BV version of InSim installed for some time now, and I DID install the Simblender.

By the way... I had an idea for it as I was playing tonight... I thought it might be neat to have an "online dating service" where you can pick any man or woman (depending on gender preference) from the neighborhood log, and go out with them on a date. The candidates can even be listed in order of highest chemistry to lowest. Just a thought before I forget it. I know that the Gypsy lady serves as a matchmaking service, but let's face it... she sucks! You're stuck with whatever piece of crap that drops outta the sky

So there's all the info I can think of right now. Thanks for your help, and I'm sorry for bein a little late getting back to you. Again, AWESOME job on this mod!

I believe I actually downloaded it from here (thought it was MATY... can't remember really)... it was several weeks ago. I do not have 2 versions, as I figured that would conflict anyway... so I just deleted the one I had from Monique, and put the new one in.

I do not use the ATM, as I figure the online banking feature takes care of all my Sims' banking needs, so I see no point.

As far as using it on Uni. students, well... that's what I used to do back when I had a current version of InSim, and I would use the Lottery feature then. But I tried to use it in a normal residence, and they'd pay for the tickets, but it yielded no results. So when you go to re-create the circumstances, you can just use a normal household of adult sims with kids. Oh, by the way... I bought 20 tickets of each type.

With regards to HCDU from Paladin's Palace, the computer I'm playing my Sims game on is not connected to the internet. I actually have to put mods on a writeable cd and transfer them over to my other computer. It generally doesn't work too well when I try to transfer programs I've downloaded.

I have downloaded the "Expensive" computer (from here), and am about to go and delete the other version from my Sims game so I can put this new one in.

Okay, first of all, Chaavik, I too would like to thank you for continuing to update this wonderful mod for all of us! It is VERY much appreciated

I have read all the posts here just to make SURE I'm not re-stating what someone else has already said. I have tried to purchase lottery tickets for my Sim using this computer... turns out I can *purchase* them, but I never get a notification saying whether I won OR lost every weeknight @ 7p.m. That was how I used to make my college Sims a LOT of $$$ before they moved out and got put into the Sim bin. It helped to buy a good house straight out of college w/out cheating. Any idea what might be causing this?

I have ALL EP's and stuff packs. Honestly, I do not know if I have the most updated version that you have posted... I probably don't, but I haven't seen anyone else mention this problem. I figure if you didn't know about it in the first place, how could it have been solved? But I thought I'd ask anyway

Those are all so wonderful, and looking at allllll the patterns by jenny__dunagan, I'd like allllll those patterns! LOL... but I wouldn't DARE ask you to do them. I'm sure you'll do more whenever you have the chance... and I'll be here waiting to pounce on them!

I realllllllllly do like your work! Thanks so much!!!

Thanks, Denalia! Did I mention that you ROCK?!

AWESOME! You ROCK, chica! Thankssssssss

Also, I noticed that in The Sims 3, what they call "fat Sims" are really nothing more than simply "plump" Sims. Still not particularly realistic. Also, what about dimples? I'd like to have Sims w/ dimples... and see them have children w/ dimples However, I'm sure that's not at the top of the "details to add" priority list

And I saw someone somewhere mention (I forgot where), that these characteristics we will have to choose from... well... let's face it, they will suck. I couldn't agree more! It's like the Grilled Cheese Aspiration... what's up with that?! I NEVER use that one.

And here's an idea off the top of my head... I think that Sims should be BORN with an innate tendency toward either hetero or homosexuality, just like they're born male or female, and the game determines which. Having said that, I think you should be able to change it if it's not innately what you prefer for that particular Sim. It would keep things interesting

I dunno... I read somewhere (I think it may have been in this thread), that you'd be able to play the game as if it were a tv show (The Sopranos and Desperate Housewives were mentioned). I, for one, am getting pretty tired of micromanaging my Sims' eating, sleeping, peeing needs. I've always kinda wanted to sit back and watch as if it were a tv show... a soap opera of sorts. Sounds like most of you don't like that idea, and that's fine. Remember, we've still got a year to go though before it's actually released. That's ALOT of time in development... a lot can change between now and then Although I'm really kinda hoping the ability to play in the aforementioned manner doesn't

P.S.- One thing I've seen that I DON'T like is the way the Sims in "Sims 3" look. Seems their faces are too round or something.... can't put my finger on it, but they have some characteristic that makes them all look too similar.

BEAUTIFUL upload! Hey... I always appreciate Muslim Sim uploads. Think there's a way you could make hijabs available for children, teens, young adults too? That'd be awesome... been waiting for that to be done for quite a while now Again... WONDERFUL creation! Thanks!
