You add the three following lines into the userstartup.cheat file. Just make sure they are above the bugJartimeDecay off line if you have it.

uintProp maxTotalSims 50
uintProp maxTotalHumans 35
uintProp maxTotalPets 15

You can change the values as long as maxTotalHumans + maxTotalPets = maxTotalSims

I had completely forgotten about that until I saw it again on MTS2. The bugJartimeDecay off cheat must be entered last in the Userstartup.cheat otherwise it breaks up everything that comes after.

And I do use that cheat. I can't remember whether or not the 3 lines concerning maxTotalSims/humans/pets were below or above bugJartimeDecay off when the merging part of your mod didn't work for me. So that might mean that maxTotalSims/humans/pets lines don't have to be on top of the Userstartup.cheat as long as they are not below bugJartimeDecay.

I apologize for my bad explanation/english. I hope it make sense enough though.

OK, I loaded a fresh new brand neighborrhood folder and was able to move in a ninth YA into a dorm.

I also figured out why I couldn't anymore merge some more members to an 8 Sims family. I had to move up the 3 lines concerning maxTotalSims/humans/pets on top of my userstartup.cheat . I suppose they have to load first of something like that.

I am glad I have this working like before. Thanks again for updating to AL.

Thank you for testing.
HCDU does'nt find any conflict. As soon as I can I will run a clean game and check this out again.

Thank you for your answer.

About YA I can't move in/merge more than 8 of them in a campus (University lot).

About teenagers maybe I had a mod that allowed them to move in, I don't remember. I did try Inteen for a very short period.

The thing I found weird is that I had a family (in the family bin) with an adult and 4 teens (they weren't related) and I couldn't merge it with another family already on a lot. I then tried to invited the adult to move in and he agreed but came alone and left the teens in the family bin. I ended up adding them with a teleporter.

Anyway this is great mod and I greatly thank you for it :smile: . Sorry for my english.

edit : just noticed your answer about the merging part. Well that is very strange because I would have sweared I did that several times. My memory is weak for sure !

Thanks a lot for this mod.

It works fine in my game exept for teens (or YA). I can't move them in if the house is already full. It doesn't work from the neighbordhhod view (combine families) and I don't have the option to ask a Sim (even adult) to propose to a teen to move in.

Lovely thank you !

What skintone are you using on this screenshot please ?

Ok, I just had time to test my game after deleting groups.cache. Unfortunatly my Sims still change TV channel autonomously (even though their fun bar is green, lazy Sims ! ).

MissDoh, merci pour ton aide

Miss Doh, I'll have a go at deleting groups.cache and come back to report.

Squinge, don't waste too much time on it, you are so productive you must already have a lot of work ! Maybe a new groups.cache will help, I will try in the afternoon (Paris time).

And sorry if my english is a bit weird

Thank you for replying.

MissDoh, I did use the hack detection tool and it didn't find any conflict (forgot to mention that in my first post).

Squinge, I am using the first version of your hack, the one to just stop Sims changing channel (not the version that prevents sims from truning the tv on & off).

The strange thing is that I am pretty sure the first time I tried your hack, it was working nicely. I installed family fun (and its official patch) a few days ago, maybe it messed up something.
It is not that bad anyway, I can always make them learn cooking with books like before

Hello ! It doesn't seem to be working for me. I have all EPs and Family Fun. My Sims keep on changing channel autonomously.
I also have Numenor's "turn off the TV when stop watching" hack in my game. Maybe they aren't compatible ?
