    In my game, John Mole and Natasha Una got married and had a daughter. When the daughter was a child, John got caught cheating on Natasha with his new Servo he had built. After Natasha got divorced with John, she comforted her crying daughter.
    It’s a rare animation I don’t think I’ve ever seen in my game before. Very wholesome. Brings a lot of depth to the game😊

      Once Albany Capp insulted Desdemona's friend who was there after school. He poked her and argued with her. Ariel went upstairs to cry, and he ran after her to apologize and comfort her. Felt like such real family dynamics!

      John Mole is currently married to my legacy founder but I changed his servo turn on when he moved in because that's just weird, lol. They get along like a house on fire and he's always super sweet to her, I love him so much.

    The fact that ghosts can't travel over water is amazing, this is like some mythos. Because they crossed the river to the afterlife and can't return or something.

    The ghost one actually makes sense! When you use a mod like Insimenator, there's a ghost menu (I think in death-related stuff). It basically allows you to "walk" like a ghost or other special sims, walk through walls and do something with objects.
    So alive Sims and ghosts must be programmed in a similar way, that's why neither can float over water. The only difference is appearance and actions, the ghost is limited to "haunt" and feed the Biology plant.
    This also reminds me of the day I used moveobjects on a swimming sim, worst "mistake" ever. He could perform any action regularly, but all walking animations except the stairs ones were bugged. The sim went floor-swimming everywhere, and popped out of the floor to do the chosen action.

    • @cyjanidybel
      @cyjanidybel Před rokem +1

      lmao I used to do the floor swimming thing all the time!
      it looked goofy and it was free Body skill at all times (until the bug that actually just maxed it for free happened at least)

    @joandsarah77 Před 2 lety +42

    You don't need to do any of that to impress the headmaster, you just need to make sure when he first shows up not to 'greet him' but special greet him, 8 times in a row which is as many as a sims queue can hold and your sim will gain lots of snooze points. If you 'greet him' officially all those special greets drop out and become non available so it has to be after he steps out of the car. Then a decent house and non burnt spaghetti will do.
    I even got the Newson kids into private school doing that.

    • @crazymarq4390
      @crazymarq4390  Před 2 lety +6

    This ghost tip is really neat!
    Today while playing I think something new happened but I'm not sure, because my camera was focused elsewhere. I heard the newspaper delivery person got upset just after they delivered paper as it was instantly stolen by my Sim's enemy. When I focused on the delivery person, they were just finishing yelling in the direction of the thief so I'm like 90% sure it's connected and I just thought it's a fun little detail that surprised me after all these years (and numbers of your videos watched :D)

    Hey! I'm featured twice in this video! :)
    Hmm... I think I'll take some tips from my iceberg chart...
    Ah! If you use testing cheats, you can shift-click on an apartment door to rent an apartment furnished. Great for those who don't want to spend time furnishing the new apartment.
    And don't forget the juice squeezer. It provides benefits like platinum aspiration, faster homework, random skills etc.
    And finally, the tip I forget all the time to mention. If you want to choose a new outfit for a townie, you'll have to open a clothing store and then show them a clothing rack (in which interaction you can pick the outfit category). When the sale succeeds, you can pick their new outfit! Once they get ringed up, they'll now wear the outfit you've picked.

    • @Queerlien

      Ooooh the apartment one sounds so handy! I absolutely hate when i create apartments and furnish them only to rent it and then cry because all my hard work is gone. These were great thank you for sharing your sims enlightenment.

      @@Queerlien Yes, according to The Sims Wiki, this must be done next to the door to the apartment you want to rent and make sure your sim has no actions in queue. But yeah, otherwise furnishing the base lot is meant in case a NPC rents a vacant apartment.

    Using boolprop you can make selectable the mail man and newspaper carrier and use them for your deeds around the house (gardening, babysitting) and their mood and health is always full never goes down !
    Also when you place trash like baby bottles, diapers, plates onto water puddles, they disappear without a trace !

    If pools around the graveyard have ladders they can enter the pool and swim and simply trap them if you delete the pool ladders in build/buy mode while the ghosts are swimming which will allow them to still haunt during the day but doing so may break the game so ghosts will remain visible even when the ghosts leave the pool.

    Here another trick, I dont know if this happen in the sims 2 pc but it work in playstation2 port. (I dont know if there a fear of "selling cheap painting" basically). When you made a painting and there a fear of selling cheap painting, then you could use other people in your lot to sell it and you still get the money, fear not realized and you can continue. (you could just not sell it and make it a picture tho.)

    Also recently found out that grandma of Tricou family(Downtown) has pointy ears and grandad has typical “vampiric eyebrows”, I would say. Moreover he has relation to other sims of Downtown , but definitely doesn’t look alike. Reminds me of how vampires have sires.
    Resurrected all of them and made adult. + had mod that allowed nps have memories.
    Maybe Tricou were meant to be vampire family and vampirism meant to have more features.
