I was just curious if someone had made a mod where we can direct the parents to tuck their children in, as opposed to just waiting for them to do it themselves?

If not, I would like to request this. It's always been one of my favorite actions and unfortunately, we aren't able to execute the action ourselves. I always wait at night and watch my Sim do nothing, hoping to catch them initiate the "Tuck in" routine and catch it with my camera (that sometimes takes forever and nothing happens)!


*After finding it a little later and banging head against desk*

Okay... usually, I try looking everywhere before asking these kinds of questions!

What in the world was I thinking not checking out Squinge's mods and assuming he didn't make one already??

For anyone else who would like this mod and others from one of my favorite modders and to anyone new here to InSimenator, they are in "Squinge's Mods" in the category "Resident Creator's" on the site menu.

I have never worked on a fantasy hood, but am somewhat curious as to what kind of neat objects and Sims I can add to it if I were to ever experiment. However, some of the fantasy creatures made for Sims 2 that I am curious about adding that I am for sure I have seen before, I can't seem to find now...

- Centaurs (I'm almost certain I have seen these)
- Satyrs

Any other fantasy creatures I could be missing that anyone here is able to direct me to?

Also, is this character (in the heading of this site) a Satyr? http://www.michellepettitmee.com/movietips/?page_id=21. It's a great looking custom-made Sim. I have tried to see the downloads on this site, even the homepage, but it won't allow me to and directs me elsewhere.

Also, is there a certain requirement, such as me having to own specific EP's for me to download creatures like these? I have all the EP's up to Pets (Uni, NL, OFB, Pets)

I searched for how to delete a Sim in these forums, and I can't find it worth a dang.

Can anyone remind me of how to do so to "reboot" a Sim when it's stuck or acting funky?

As far as I can remember... I go into a lot, delete a Sim, save my game, and then exit to the neighbourhood. When I return to the lot, the Sim should be standing, as good as new, by the mailbox. Is that correct?

Okay, so I've been avoiding this object since I first got OFB a couple years back. It's the frickin' Electrono Ticket Machine.

I would like this object at some of my businesses, because I have a few clubs in my community. It sounded, at least, like the perfect object to keep the cash comin' in merely by having Sims on the lot. However, it has been more of an annoying object, rather than helpful. Every time I put that thing on my lot, tons of people gather all right ~ around the object! Is there a way that I can place it and not have everyone come up to it and just gawk it for hours at a time? I just didn't think that when the Sims gather, they would put the object itself in the spotlight.

Any tips?

Does anyone know where I can find these? Every time I look them up in searches at Sim sites, I get a lot of boats and ship houses. Not exactly what I'm looking for. Can anyone help?

Moreover, does anyone know if a shipyard has been made?

BTW, I have Uni, NL, OFB, and Pets.

(Sigh) All right... to begin the agony: My game was messed up before I got Pets.

1) Entire custom neighborhood disappeared (although it was still in Sim PE) - would love to find out how this happened to begin with...

2) Original Terrains were double booking lots (lots on top of other lots, laying on top of roads). Just figured this was a corrupted terrain that would fix itself during reinstall.

So, what else to do beside fix the problem before I install Pets. That is what I did. I uninstalled and then reinstalled all my games, and then did a quick check to see if they were there before installing Pets. All there. I finally had the disappeared neighborhood back! However, my latest and greatest characters were M.I.A, including their lots. My greatest stories - gone. All the other families dated back an age (teens were back to kids, kids to babies, etc). The only thing I could think of was maybe they went back in age because they were InSIM aged.

I figured... I'll fix this after I install Pets. I'll add to that neighborhood and switch stuff out slowly to see what works and what doesn't!

I installed Pets (of course backing up all my data before hand to switch over after the install).

Now I have some new problems in Pleasantview (and only in Pleasantview): My Sims won't enter a house. If they are already in a house, they won't go into the next room, using a door. They won't do anything on command. They just walk a couple paces and stop. Their Plump Bob (or is it Plum Bob?) just flickers. And I have another added problem (not as big): After I downloaded my custom lots into the Lot Catalog folder... all the new Pet lots, except for one disappeared. I know I didn't write over them.

I am afraid that I might have to cut my losses and just drop Pleasantview and my other neighborhood I've been working on for years and just begin a whole new neighborhood. Please someone tell me I don't have to do this.

Alas, I am still tinkering with these dang little problems and its been two days since my un-played Pets have been installed. Someone please help.


P.S. I am not exactly Sim PE savvy so I wouldn't be able to just look things up and see if it looks right or not.


* After a few days of checking other neighborhoods *

Now, all the neighborhoods are having trouble with the Sims not doing things and the flickering Plum Bob. Anyone know why this is happening? Let's just try to figure this one problem out...


All right, so this is what I'm going to do... I'm going to uninstall Pets and then try again, unless anyone has a better suggestion.

Quick question...

What is the name of that mod where you can have a family live on a college campus (spouse and children)? The name has seemed to escape me...  Or... is it a mod at all? I know if there is a mod, I have it because I have families on campus where the parents are both young adults and attending college, but my question is.. can you have an adult living on campus with kids and a spouse who's attending college?


I just forgot how this worked after taking so much time off of playing, I guess.

So, I'll try to explain this the best I can.

Have a family in a Maxis house and the furniture is not lining up with the tile. There are certain floor tiles that just will not allow me to set anything on top of. When I do, the actual object shifts to the next floor tile even though the highlighted green square is still on the floor tile I want to place it in.

Lights won't even set in the right spot. They will automatically slip into a diagonal place and I cannot get the other lights placed so that they are in an even nature.

When I move certain doors, I'm moving them (the green highlight), but the door stays put.

Is there a way I can fix this or do I need to just demolish the house and move them out?

This is actually a problem that has been bugging me for awhile, but I never posted it. When it rains, it pours, you know?

My Sim just gave birth to twins. Sarcastic yay. Anyway, I think I have a mod that asks me after birth if she or the husband are going to stay at home from work. I have had it so long I can't remember if it's a mod or not. Anyway, I selected her for the three days. However, the carpool for her job came bright and early the next morning.

If this is a mod, does this sound familiar? Why is this doing opposite what it's supposed to do? If this is apart of the game, how do I fix it? I don't want her to lose her job. Or anyone staying home for these reasons, for that matter.

Okay, so I know this exists... pretty sure.

I don't mind the Sims getting jealous, but to have to drop what they are doing to autonomously slap the cheating Sim is ridiculous? Isn't there a mod where jealousy happens but there's no slap that comes after it?

Along the same lines, is there a mod where you can control when a slap happens?

So, why is it that my parents are not going to work, but are leaving me a message saying "I just can't bring myself to go to work when there is a little one at home" and there is ALREADY a nanny in the house. This morning, dad said that and there were two nanny's in the house. One I had come throughout the night and one that came in for her usual afternoon shift.

Why is this happening?

I apologize for this post. It's the second time I've posted this problem because 1) It's a question about InSIMenator 2) I can't remember what the first post was titled and 2) I didn't write down the solution for this problem like an idiot.

I have the Insimenator. I've had it for years. I have never had a problem until now (which I have fixed before). When I click on the seat, it doesn't give me a "Selectable" / "Unselectable option. It's kind of annoying because I can't remember how I fixed this before. Yes, I exited to the neighborhood and came back - no go. I tried to buy a whole new InSIM, no luck.

I know people had some suggestions and I think one of them worked.

Any ideas (from the ones that helped me before or some new simmers)?

P.S. to the Moderators / Administrators: I know that the InSIMenator isn't "supported" here, but there are many vets that would be able to help me with this. They have before. Please, please don't lock this post yet. I know that I have raised this concern before but I was desperate for help!

I'm going to risk starting a new game I play with my buddies all the time.

Its the movie quote game (movie lovers will like it).

Someone gives a quote, the next person answers it with the movie title and if you'd like, include the character who said it, and then they give a quote for the next person and so on and so forth.

Example: Me - "You made a time machine... out of a DELORIAN?"

Next person: "Back to the Future" (optional: Marty McFly)

So, I'll start it off with an easy one:


Quote: "If someone asks if you are a god, you say, 'yes!'"


P.S. - If you give a quote, check back to make sure that quote is responded to with the correct movie if you can, or just to see if people need another hint...

Okay, so I've been having too many issues, lately, lol.

The latest is my gallery. I have a photographer who takes pictures with the career rewards camera and then sells them. My photographer is holding his big opening night and I've already marked up all his photographs on the walls. There are a ton of people here, but no one is buying... on their own at least. I can't seem to get them to buy anything without cheating. I have cheated all this time. I wanted to actually try it the original way and not "select" my customers and what they buy.

Yes, they have the customer sign above their head and my employees and the manager are shmoozing and doing their selling thing (the photography has a Gold in Sales), but no one is buying. They sit around forever waiting. So, how do I get them to buy on their own?

I wouldn't bother you guys with this but I seem to have misplaced my OFB guide and the one online doesn't get into specifics.

Anyone a successful entrepreneur in the Sims?

So, I get back onto YouTube to listen to some of my favorite playlists and nearly all of them have a ton of video's missing! Not to mention - my favorites! Why is this? Because people don't take a few minutes to actually respect the infringement issue. I hate that! Why do they do that?

I will say that some of the best vids made on there are possibly going to be closed because the video maker doesn't take a moment to acknowledge the songwriters, movies etc. So when I save one to my playlists, I make sure that the acknowledgment is there - no matter how long it's been on there.

Okay, I'm done, lol. I just needed to vent a little...
