16  Simmers' Paradise / Apartment Life Help / Confusing Townie/Community Lot Greeting Problem. Please help! on: December 28, 2008, 08:05:08 am
Okay, I just received Apartment Life during Christmas and I'm just now having a chance to really play a lot with it.

The thing is, when I take my sims to a community lot now, there will be a random townie (not just the new social group sims either) who will walk up and it will have the queue 'Be Greeted'. However, they don't do any of the new greetings... they shake my active sim's hand just like I was greeting them on a residential lot!

After that, no other Townies will stay on the community lot! They'll walk past, one by one, and if I click them, it says 'Greet (whoever)' and 'Greet With...'. That's it; I can't interact with the Townies unless I greet them first! If I don't they'll just walk on past and leave the lot, as if it were a residential lot instead of a community one.

I've downloaded/installed the up-to-date AL patch (number 2?), and sadly, I did this BEFORE I played, so I wonder if it's something related to the patch.

I removed EVERY SINGLE THING from my Downloads folder; all hacks, objects, clothes, etc. I deleted the Accessory.cache and the Groups.cache. I even created a brand new neighborhood as a test to make sure my normal neighborhood isn't corrupted... Nothing is fixing this problem! Sad

I'm completely at a loss at the moment. This pretty much ruins the game for me until I can figure out how to fix this.

18  Sims 2 Community Downloads / Misc. Mods and Careers / Hide extra AL female hair colors - Pick & Choose! on: December 26, 2008, 04:48:57 am
So, I received Apartment Life for Christmas and although I'm really enjoying it, I'm rather ticked off that Eaxis thought it would be cute to contain so many freakin' pointless color options for the female hairs...



Now, what's the point of this? Five versions of the SAME hair just with different colored barrettes or hair clips!? And, it's like that for all colors and for the main 3 new female hairstyles!  angry

So, I just cranked up SimPE this morning and selected each hair separately so they can be hidden from Body Shop and the in-game CAS!



Now, I present these files to you as well. These are very small global mods that will hide certain hairs from the game. All you have to do is place any of these files into your Sims 2/Downloads folder and the hairstyle will be hidden!

---



Here's how I have labeled them: Number 1 is simply a Hair With a Barrette; Number 2 is a Puffy Ponytail with a Scrunchie; Number 3 is a Long Ponytail with a Scrunchie; and, Number 4 is a hair that Eaxis has labeled as Rockabilly.

Now, here's an example on what to do:

Let's say that you like the Black Hair with a Blue Barrette and you ONLY want it to appear in your game. You would open the Hairs with Barrettes zip file, choose the OTHER color options (Red Barrette, Green Barrette, etc.) and you would place them into your Sims 2/Downloads folder. You WOULD NOT place the Black Hair with Blue Barrette file into the folder. If you did, it would become hidden as well.

To break it down further...

- You like the Red Hair with Green Barrette and no other colors.
- Place the Red Hair with Red, Blue, Orange and Purple Barrettes files into Sims 2/Downloads.
- Do NOT place the Red Hair with Green Barrette file into the folder.
- All of the other colors will be hidden and only your choice will show up!

---

You can mix & match the choices as you see fit. All of these files are very small, so it shouldn't lag your game or anything. Plus, you can simply remove them from the Downloads folder at any time and the hair options will reappear as normal.

As a bonus, I've included a single mod that removes all five colors of the Rockabilly hairstyle, because I think it looks completely silly. If you download this mod and place it into your Sims 2/Downloads folder, all colors of the Rockabilly hair will be hidden.

Hey, what's up? tongue

Welcome to InSIM!

Hmm, not recently... I've had a new default vampire skin pretty much since Nightlife came out. Same with the aliens, but nothing 'new'.

I can still yank those out and check to see if it makes a difference I suppose. Maybe one of them is conflicting somehow?

It's really no biggie, considering both facts that the Sims 2 is slowly winding down and I hardly get the genie anyway. tongue

EDIT: Okay, finally after digging through all of my junk in the EA folder(s), I found what was causing the trouble. I had a little hack stashed away that I forgot about that allowed me to change and save NPC uniforms (the maid, paperboys, etc.)... That hack has easily been in there since before I installed Seasons and it's just now conflicted with something. Blah. rolleyes

So, anyhow, the problem has been fixed. This thread can be locked, ignored, or whatever. heheh

Why in the fark is my genie dressed in a business suit, with a normal body!? I don't have AL yet (just up to FT) and I rarely get the gypsy to deliver the stupid lamp.

I finally get the darn thing and THIS is what I see when I rub the lamp...  >_<;

Is there any way to fix this? And, what caused it?

I do have all FT patches installed, etc.

Ah, ok.

Thank you very much! Grin

Edit: It works; that's much better. Wink

A question about replying...

After I reply to a thread and click 'post', it posts the reply and then sends me back out to the previous page instead of staying in the same thread. Why is that happening?

I don't mind the messed up age. If it gets fixed later on, that's good too.

I just placed my real age in my profile and that's good enough for me. Tongue

Extremely happy to see InSIM in better hands now. Cheesy

I'm also thrilled that I was able to keep my same log-in stuff as before.

I really love both of your animation paintings, but I've noticed the same problem that HobbesED mentioned. That's a shame because those animations would come in handy with a few of my stories. Cheesy
