Since FT we can give this perk to fortune sims.  My problem is that Fortune sims loves doing it whenever they have the chance and it is driving me nuts.  They can go up 3 floors just to do it and totally ignore other nice objects around them.

I know I could simply not give this perk to my sims but I find it handy for some sims that just moved in a new house or graduated so they can make extra money.

So I am looking for either a mod that simply stop this autonomous interaction or lower the attractiveness of it.

I looked around and did not find anything so far.  I have Twojeffs Computer fixes no autonomy mod but it does not affect that action.

I have all EP's up to AL and none of the Stuff packs.

thanks for all the help you can give me.

Hi everyone!

I've been gone from the sims 2 community for quite awhile but I am now back for more!  Yeah I am alive and kicking and happy to be back. 

I missed you all and I will now be a lot more present helping with my best knowledge for Sims 2 (I finally bought AL last June) and Sims 3 (I have it install too).

I will wonder all around the site putting my two cents.    Hope to bump into you guys and gals.

Until then take care all of you.

 

After seeing the new updated Community lot skilling mod for EP8, I was wondering if it would be possible to either add that option to that existing mod or make a new one so sims can gain hobby enthusiasm while they visit community lots.

And if sims are not gaining enthusiams on hobby special lots, can it include that too please?  I never notice if they were or not, sorry.

thanks

Hi

I know the nap more energy is clean to use with AL but it does not apply to all the sofas.

Any chance you add the new Seasons, Bon Voyage, FreeTime and AL new sofa to it?

Thanks for considering and of course take all the time you need if you do it, I know it is long to edit each sofa.

Here is a very critical fix that Pescado from MATY site issued today for AL.

I suggest you get it and also look at the additional fixes he posted which he is giving links to in that thread.

Unofficial AL Patch - Assorted Fixes

Check often since Pescado keeps updating his mods all the time and this one is no exception.

Since there is no dedicted section yet for the FT ep, I am posting the info here in the general sims 2 help section.

Twojeffs from the Inteen site released a major bug fix mod that affect user with the Free Time ep.  If you do not have that ep install, you do not need to install this fix.

Here is a resume of what it fixes and a link to get it, once on the inteen site scroll down the page to get it:

Free Time Aspiration Critical Fix:

Fixes a major EAxis bug that causes the game to almost always report a bogus aspriation for the sim if they happen to have a secondary aspriation set. This bug will manifest in numerous different ways such as some sims getting red marriage memories even though they aren't romance sims, strange random failures of aspiration objects even though a sim is gold or platinum, and other weirdness.

ATTENTION: Free Time Aspiration Critical Fix by TwoJeffs is not needed if you updated FreeTime with the EA patch!

You can get this fix HERE - look in Simbology > Sims 2 Downloads > Mod Descriptions > The Dead Pool - Links to the Past for "Free Time Aspiration Critical Fix"

While you are there, check Simbology > Sims 2 Downloads > Mod Descriptions > Bug Fixes for "Bring Hobby Friend From Work Fix"

You may need to register in order to download.  Simbology is a free site.

While you are there, take a look at the other amazing mods Twojeffs did.  I totally love his mods.

NOTE:  IF YOU INSTALL THE FT PATCH, THIS FIX IS NO LONGER NEEDED.

If you are experiencing Bodyshop problems I strongly suggest you read this post Beosboxboy made in the general sims 2 section:  ATTENTION! New Body Shop Bug!!!!111!1eleven

Eaxis screwed-up majorly again!!!

Also, for support, you might be better off to post in that other thread as it is the one Beosboxboy is watching mostly.

Yes.... The old Uni barista spamming problem is back with a new twist.

Everytime you will send your sim to a community vacation lot, the game will create a new tour guide character.  If you spend a lot of time there, you can easily end-up with 100 of those without knowing it.  There might be other NPC spamming excessively too.  I tested this myself and can comfirm it is true.

That can easily result in an overpopulated hood and can cause major problems with time to the point of scrapping your entire hood.  

For more info about this, read this post and keep yourself inform of a fix for it:  Tour Guide and Unsavory Charlatan spawn like crazy in BV!

Yes Eaxis screwed up again!

ETA:  Whenever I will see a fix for this is posted, I will update this post with a link for the fix.  If you see or find something before I do, please post a link. Thanks.

ETA2:  A fix for that is in testing right now, I have no idea yet when it will be posted.

ETA3:  A fix for this bug can now be foundHere  A lighter version (posted on Insim) only affecting those 2 perticular NPC can now be found Here

ETA4:  The official Maxis/EA patch is now out to fix this problem, you can download it here:  Bon Voyage patch #1  Expect a patch #2 to be out later since they fix what was urgent only.

I've been wondering for a little while if there was real advantages of adding a business section to our hood.

Besides adding pre-made sims and pre-made business community lots and extra place to move sims in if we are out of place, are there any advantages in adding a business section like there are when you had a downtown (vampires, diva, slob and Mrs. Crumblebottom only show in downtown section) are there any dedicated NPC that will only appear in that section?

Are there options sims can do only if that section is added?  Like having managers or others.

I recently resetted my game and I am pondering weither or not I should add such a section in my neighborhood, I have plenty of package business lot I can put in main hood or even downtown so I am not sure if it is really needed or not.  Been a long time since I play the business part so I do not quite remember about the details of it.

Here is your own Sim Missdoh to have fun and/or torture if you wish. The same sim is available at MATY but since not all of you are members there I thought I should post it here too.
 
No customs content to keep the file small, you must have all the expansion packs install but not FFS or holiday pack.
 
If you prefer her as a brunette than go ahead and change her hair color. I have long straight hair so any long custom hair you have will do.
 
Missdoh can either be a popularity, pleasure, romance or knowledge Sim (in other words anything but fortune, family or cheese will be fine). MissDoh is an aries with these personality traits: Neat 4, Outgoing 6, active 6, playful 4, nice 5 . I don't wear make-up so to reflect Sim Missdoh it would be better that she does not wear make-up or very natural colored ones. I do wear glasses on the other hand so if you don't mind leaving her with glasses it would be nice of you.
 
You can change her hairstyle anyway you wish and of course you can change her into some brand new clothes because she does look a bit silly in those.
 
Here is a picture of Sim Missdoh:



I would appreciate if you decide to add her in your game that you post picture or story of what happened to her, good or bad.
 
Have plenty of fun with her.
