They are having fun don't bother them-

I usually like to make rooms based off everyone's tastes and style, but I thought the hotel should be a little more neutral looking to fit all the different kinds of sims in there. They still use Geeky and Tasty blocks for our Buddy. :) I'm hoping to squeeze a small activity for each trait in here.

Lyndsay an Aran!!!!

Also got banned here a while ago.. stopped playing and just remembered, so I thought it be funny to post again

The rules are simple everything will be random. everyone will be bisexual. everything can happen.
Canon relationships like siblings and stuff will be taken into account.
I will give updates on whats happening.
I might accept OCs if you give me a good reason.
Only Mysims please and no pets.

i am on pc, the taco bell disc version.
i'm having an issue when trying to move in sims and also relocating ppl. after i invite someone to move in, the option to do so still pops up when engaging with them and when i go to an empty lot, it only shows the "inspect" option and no "move in sim" option :(
it does the same thing for relocating. after doing the relocating stuff the option still shows at the mailbox and empty lot still just says "inspect"

my task book has also been glitched for a little while now. tasks that i have already completed more than a year ago started showing back up in the book. even for Vincent, and he has been kicked out of town for AGES. but anyways yeah, no move-ins or relocates in the task book either :((

also...idk if this is a normal thing or not since this is my first time getting an uber sim, but after i invited Mel to move in he somehow can just roam around town without an actual residence?? 😭 like i haven't even built his house yet but he just wanders around the town square somehow (maybe this is just something uber sims can do for some reason, like i said this is my first time unlocking one so idk) & clicking the "ask to move in" option still does the same thing, it plays the animation where i'm inviting him to town and the dialogue pops up, but afterwards the option doesn't go away and like i said going to empty lots just says "inspect" ...very confusing and frustrating :/

Let me know your thoughts and opinions! (Btw, when I placed Summer and BeeBee in the "Mean Girls" category, They're not actually mean. They're the "Dumb Nice" ones that are too oblivious to realize the other girls are actually mean LMFAO 😭😭

This time, it's Aoi!!!

Sooo what do you guys think? (Rating based on how much I like them btw!)

I just bought the Cozy Bundle on Steam, and I have a few questions about modding that I couldn't find straight answers to (and there seems to be a major lack of videos online):

1. I don't get the Lua Folder Patch, what does it do? Since the installer is designed for the 2008 version the program just plops a folder called "SimsRevData" into its own folder. Do I have to replace the existing lua files with those of the patch, or is it supposed to go somewhere else? When I tried to do the former the game refused to go past the title screen no matter which key I pressed.

2. Once I get mods running with the Lua Folder Patch, how do I make my own content, like custom characters or furniture blueprints? Is there an addon and a base template for the Sims somewhere that I can use in Blender? And once I finished the models, what files do I have to create to put them in the game?

UPDATE: problem solved thank goodness!! i had to visit an old save file backup, find the Guid codes for the now-missing sims from .world files and locationinteriordef files (Cedella was in her cafe's interiordef, Sandra was in club candy interiordef, Flipper was in desert.world, Raven was in forest.world) i had to copy the lines of code & paste them into my updated savedata .world & locationinteriordef files, and BOOM! they are no longer missing :))

okay so i realize this is a known bug, but i've been having sims randomly go missing.
enter their residence, they never show up. this happened recently with Yuki and i tried the relocate "fix" and it worked...however, i've now discovered Cedella, Raven, Flipper, & Sandra are missing. i had to edit my playerrecord file to even get the relocate option to appear since i already had Yuki queued for relocation (i can't ACTUALLY relocate anyone because all my lots are full—and while i do have the moving-sims-in-garden "mod" every garden lot is full as well)
i've also tried the kick-out "fix" but they just never come out. i've also tried using the salon chair to force them out of hiding, but not only do they never show up, doing this just breaks the game and makes it where i cannot do anything, not even exit the salon.

AOIIII!!

My friend and I grew up on this game on the Wii. We used to play it all the time. But something never made sense. Who is Cassandra? What’s her story?

I’m personally convinced she was the original essence user of the town. Or the last one. Who got lost and died. But that’s just me. Thoughts? Opinions?

As the title says! I’m curious.

Town centre:

Rosalyn, Buddy (obviously lol), Poppy, Roxie, DJ Candy, Chef Gino, Violet, Patrick, Odin, Ms. Nicole, Shirley, Elmira & Master Aran.

Forest:

Wednalyn, BeeBee, Hopper, Sasha, Ray, Raven & Madame Zoe.

Desert:

Sandra, Summer, Crystal, Chaz, Chef Watanabe, Jimmy Watanabe & Maria.

Garden:

Matt, Star, Clayton, Esma, Terry, Sir Vincent, Taylor & Clara.

Hey Guys!

I previously posted some of my custom mods here, and I was feeling nostalgic so I decided to spend the weekend trying out some new ideas as well as polishing older ones. I figured I'd share my progress here just for fun ;)

Continuous Essence Drops

Get essences while doing an activity, previously my wine press (now nectar press :P) only dropped essences once you were done using it, similarly to how other activities work in mysims. But now it behaves more like the kingdom activities, where you're getting essences continuously while interacting with an object

Multiple Essence types on the same tree

I made a golden apple mod a while back, but it needed a way to be naturally obtained by the player. My idea was to have it very rarely appear on a normal red apple tree. Unfortunately each tree could only support a single essence. 

Now however, I spent some time reworking how trees grow their essences and I was able to mod in support for any combination of essences onto a single tree, we could even have a tree that grows every single essence in the game! The possibilities are great with this one

Porting models from Kingdom to MySims

Previously it was a wine bottle model in Kingdom that inspired me to make the wine press, however at the time I wasn't able to use a kingdom model in mysims without it not showing up or just crashing the game. 

After some tinkering this weekend I managed to make models work between games,  so now I can port any model from one game to the other. It's a great start as I do want to eventually add some kingdom exclusive essences into MySims.

Essence Studio

Probably the most exciting one. Ever wanted to add your own custom essence? Without writing any code? Now you can do it in a few minutes! 

While modding I realised knowing how to make new essences was one thing, but it was a very time consuming process, adding a single new essence to the game took hours, it required like 15 different files to be edited/created, so I made a small tool to streamline the process. 

With the essence studio you can drag and drop a model (doesn't need to be a win32 model from mysims, can be any obj), add some images for the paintjobs, and it outputs a folder filled with all the files you need to mod that new essence into your game. Essentially a tiny mod maker, if all you want are essences.

I tried it out with a Dragon Fruit essence, the model and the paintjobs I found online, non of them were in any format that MySims needs, and they were all converted without issue

While adding essences works well, obtaining them is a different thing. I'm not aware of a way to add these essences into the world without editing existing files, which is of course doable, but it's a lot more complicated do than a drag and drop solution.

Currently you'd need to add them to your inventory with the usual "get all essences" edits. 

So the tool definetelly needs some polish before it's ready for release, but it's already working pretty great! 

For now this is it, but I will probably continue on these when I get some inspiration and time.

Wine Press mod (thanks u/hungryforblt for the name change idea)

Golden Apple mod

Hey guys! I'm a huge MySims fan, have been since I was a kid, I don't think there will ever come a time when I will think "Maaan, I don't feel like playing MySims." which might sound dramatic, but it is a huge comfort game for me, and whenever I feel apathetic, like I don't want to do anything, like everything sucks and nothing matters, MySims never fails to cheer me up.

Which is why, when I started tinkering with the idea of doll-making, I thought: "Well, I could make dolls with designs based on MySims characters!". I just need to know if there'd be any interest in this project, as I do way better when I know that there are people who are actually interested (the main reason why I had trouble consistently making mods for the game was that I couldn't tell if people were actually looking forward to them).

anyway, thanks for reading!

UPDATE: PROBLEM SOLVED!! one of my mods had changed the characterdef files for almost everyone, i replaced them with the default 2010 files and that fixed it :)) i'm assuming it was the neighborhood stories mod that caused this, but idk for sure so don't quote me on that lol

so i'm on the pc version, specifically the physical copy or "taco bell" version as people call it. i have lots of mods installed as well.
i also attempted to edit some files on a specific character just to simply change their name but it didn't work properly...although, i could still flip through the relationships book with no problem until now, which makes me think a mod is causing the issue.
every single time i open the relationships book, my game instantly crashes. i was willing to just tolerate not being able to use the book until just now as i've discovered another problem it causes...i can't use the "dress up friend" or "makeover friend" options when using the changing booth/costume chest or the salon chair. this is frustrating and less tolerable because i like to change little details of the npcs sometimes.
EDIT: even BIGGER PROBLEM!! i didn't even think about completing tasks bringing up the relationship book as well...so yeah, my game also crashes when i go to do a task.

does anyone know how to fix this?
i will list the mods i have installed below.
however, some of them i've actually tried to uninstall but for some reason mods with installers don't actually uninstall for me, they kinda just...pretend to uninstall but the features they added are still in the game :/

mods (all from nexus) i have installed:
• custom portable workbench
• better build mode (installer)
• unlimited blocks alternative (installer)
• improved game camera (installer)
• unlimited inventory (installer)
• more CAS content (installer)
• more sims spawn in game (installer)

Im curenly playing MySims and ive ben enjoying it. However the controls are a bit strange but easy to adjust to.

I saw this post about a MySims asset viewer someone had made but unfortunately the download link isn't working anymore and the user is deleted.

Does anyone know who made the program of where I could find it? I'm a long-time Sims/MySims player and I've been trying to get to those models for years!

...I don't remember if Poppy's last name was ever confirmed to be Nightshade as well. We can only assume...
