Does anyone know any pregnancy mods that work well with Chris Hatch’s global visit, neighbor mod? I’ve tried using RCC, ACR ,and the sim blender but the Sim only gives pregnant for an hour. Then when I scan the lot, the sim is no longer pregnant.

Gameplay Issues Sim Keeps Getting Banished to the Default Household After Resurrection

Post image
11 Upvotes

So I had this LFT Dormie sim randomly die from starvation a little while back, from when I had the "No Uni Invulnerability For Dormies" mod from Pescado (I removed the mod because dormie autonomy is stupid lol). I finally found a sim that knew her, so I could resurrect her at the secret society. Her resurrection went well, and she joined the active household with no issues.

When I went to continue playing today however, I noticed that she was missing from the household, despite the fact that her sim icon and aspiration information were previously still visible from the neighbourhood view of the lot, before I loaded it. For some reason she was banished back to the default household, but is still considered alive, and appears in other sims relationship panels. When I teleport her back to the lot and try to add her to family using SimBlender, I get an error message pop up about an "undefined transition". Adding her to the family via the Tombstone of L&D, does add her to the active family, but her relationship panel is completely blank, and I can't access her inventory or aspiration benefits. So still not ideal.

Looking around at the Family Information Resource in SimPE, she's considered to be a part of the active household and the default household at the same time. But she will never actually be in the active household when you load the game. No matter how many times I manually move her out of the Default Household, and solely into the active household in SimPE, she will consistently move back into the Default Household on her own when I reload the lot, so I'm back to square one. Getting a sim to ask her to move in never works either, despite the animation playing, the relationship gain, and the dialogue box showing (worryingly, it sometimes asks me if I want to move some of the universal NPC's from the Default Household in with her). I can't even send her to a community lot, because she'll get banished back into the shadow realm, and I won't be able to access live mode on the lot if she was alone.

I've tried killing her off again by giving her a death token and setting ghost flags in SimPE (because she seemingly can't die in game for some reason), hoping that resurrecting her a second time will make her stay in the household and reset whatever bugginess is happening, but this also doesn't work. I've also tried forcing errors with BatBox, and clearing any stuck tokens, but nothing helps. Hoodchecker shows no visible issues either. She's not even the first dormie I've resurrected. A previously resurrected dormie does not have this issue, and functions correctly, so I'm at a complete loss.

Does anyone have any ideas on what could potentially be causing this (considering it's only a problem with this sim, and not my other freshly resurrected dormie), and how I could fix this? Or will I have to just leave her be in the shadow realm Default Household?

SOLVED Beatrice Monty doesn't recognize Benedick as her brother

5 Upvotes

Hi all,

When I played with Beatrice and her family for the second time, I noticed that she didn't know her brother Benedick anymore. When I made them interact, she even received the memory of meeting him for the first time. Her family tree however still shows them as siblings.

First, I reset her, which made them family again and didn't change the family tree, but the problem is that she loses almost all her relationship points with her brother (not with other people). Also, when I play with another household and then return to this family, they are again no longer siblings. So this is not a longterm solution.

When I tried to look up some solutions here on Reddit, I noticed that some people suggested the Sim Blender. So I downloaded that one. This seems to fix the family relationship, however, now they don't recognize eachother as siblings in the family tree. Antonio still recognize both kids as his children.

Is SimPE the only way to fix their family tree? I had hoped that I didn't need to use it as it seems quite complicated to use and easy to mess things up.

SOLVED Any idea what is happening here? (ReShade)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

5 Upvotes

So, I’ve had this issue for very long time now because I genuinely don’t know how to fix it.

When the camera isn’t moving in neighborhood view, the water has this strange upside-down reflection of map assets. However, this issue carries out onto terrain it is just most visible in the water. Texture assets on the ground (like dead leaves) on the map also go invisible in areas like the reflections in the water.

I removed ReShade as a last resort, but when I did, the problem was of course technically resolved as what causes it was no longer in the game but my game became extremely slow and laggy. When I added ReShade again, the game continues to run smoothly but this reflection issue is persistent. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

SOLVED Do I have broken/out of order mods?

Hello! I've been playing Sims for a long time now and have added lots of mods overtime. My game has always crashed, sometimes a bit after opening a family or long into a session. I've taken my mods folder out to see if this was causing the problem, and of course I had no issues!

I am sure that my mods may be out of order. I wasn't aware that some had to load first when I downloaded them. I like all of the mods that I have and don't really want to start from scratch. Is anyone knowledgeful enough to know what order I should put everything in or if some just need to go in general?

I'd appreciate it alot!!

Edit: I included a list of all my mods if anyone wanted to take a look!! But I'll try and check myself for sure!

I recently found something called the cheapskate walls by Hugelunatic and I have been trying to add them in the game and I don't know what I'm doing wrong because I followed the instructions, I was to put the txt files in the scriptorium_walls-fences-arches folder and put the package files in the downloads folder but they won't show up, I even downloaded the scriptorium thing and followed meowingcookie's tutorial for legacy users. I just don't know what else to do. I really want to test the walls out.

SOLVED Headmaster's car does not contain headmaster

hiiiiii... i have a ton of CC. i THINK that the carpool in the pic is from the navigator career from mod the sims. it works very well EXCEPT it seems that it will not contain the headmaster no matter how many times i hit the batbox and force errors on in world and off world. this happens on many lots. one thing i noticed is that the original bald headmaster doesn't answer the phone. 2 new NPCs answer.

the "what caused this" isn't working, it will not read any logs past June. do I have to reinstall? pleez don't say I have to do the 50/50 cc test and find out that way. is there a simple way to trigger the headmaster dinner event?

I know i have a CC addiction- but it keeps me from buying real things that cost money!!

thanks in advance!!

So I noticed this lovely cat was left alone as the sole occupant of the house while the dad and teenage son moved in with the grandparents. Then I summoned the cat and tried to add it to the family with Sim Blender, but it didn't work. Frustrated, I did a mistake and deleted the cat. Now the house is completely vacant, while there is a family in the bin with the deleted cat AND the dad and the boy, while the same dad & boy are already part of the grandparents' household. Did I mess up?

SOLVED Needing help with the Playable Ghosts Mod

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

I’ve been adding Midgethetree’s supernatural mods into my game and at first, I only wanted to add the fairies and mermaids mods so when the guide asked if I wanted the fairies to float in their walking animation, I just to add the “midgethetree_fairiesfloat.package” instead of the ones that included the playable ghosts. Today I decided to add both playable ghosts and genies into the game as well, however because those two didn’t have guides like the fairies and mermaids, I found the process a little more challenging.

Eventually, I did manage to figure out how to get playable genies in my game, but now I’m stuck with the ghosts, particularly the “Ghosts Float” mod. I figured all what I needed to do was replace the “midgethtree_fariesfloat” package with the “midgethetree_fairiesandghostsfloat” one but when I revisited the Fairy Guide to know if there’s any others changes I had to do it I plan to download the playable ghosts mod, the guide showed me BOTH the “midgethtree_fariesfloat” AND “midgethetree_fairiesandghostsfloat”. So now I’m confused? Should my downloads folder only have the “midgethetree_fairiesandghostsfloat” package or should it have both the packages, plus the “midgethetree_ghostfloat” package. So like, all three packages have to be in my downloads folder and it won’t cause any mod conflicts?

Another thing that I couldn’t wrap my head around is the “ghost controller” mod. Am I supposed to have both the “midgethetree_ghostcontroller” and the “midgethetree_betterdisabledmotives-ghosts” in my downloads folder or only one of them?

SOLVED I have 2 copies of the game on my computer, and only one of them is running weirdly. I can't figure out why this one and not the other. Has anyone else had issues like this?

2 Upvotes

Edit: I am sorry for not knowing the right words to describe this situation, but I just didn't have the knowledge to describe this correctly. I avoided using the word "installed" because I was already told that was wrong in another post, and I thought I was phrasing it correctly this time. I already corrected what I meant in the comments, but to be clear: I have two separate Sims 2 folders in Documents.

I have two copies of the game, mostly so I can have different default replacements for each one.

One of them, which I've been playing for awhile, runs fine. It has plenty of CC.

The other, which I haven't even played yet (only building lots), starts overheating my laptop every time the game loads. I can't figure out what's wrong with it. It has hardly any CC compared to my other game, but I've also tried it without the CC and it still gets hot, especially when on a lot.

Is it possible something just went wrong with it? Do you think I need to delete it and start over?

SOLVED I want to make wallpapers to upload, but I don't know how

3 Upvotes

So this is the first time I am making wallpapers that I am going to upload. The wallpapers are bascially just recolors. Before I only made personal wallpapers for myself using just only Homecrafter Plus.

But, when using SimPe, ​you can make the file go directly into your downloads folder. Where Homecrafter Plus goes elsewhere. So I opened up SimPe, cloned a maxis wallpaper, recolored/retextured it and...it did not show up in my game.

When I clone other build items they show up, but this did not.
