I can't wait to play! I have a question. Say I wanted to age down Pollination T. 9 and let her and her husband have another child. Or reset the eldest child days to play their family more. Would it mess up the game/neighborhood?

Nope, that should be fine.

Thankies! So excited to play! You did a great job.

Placed the Belladonna families into the hood and noticed that Tiffany Riley, when initially placed, can only "Go to School". Of course, like a dumbass, I sent her to school and she came home at 1 like a teen. I saved and backed out, placed the Cho family in the same apartment complex (different unit) and it said she was at work. I didn't get any other issues regarding her. Also noticed a typo in the Baldwin family bio, "Isaac's uncle, Carla". I fixed it and moved on. Gonna test out Riverblossom next.

Side request: Do you have any other 'hoods with custom homes that you've done? I friggin' LOVE Viper Canyon's homes, especially the three townhouses squished together to look like an apartment complex. I squee'd, died, came back, and squee'd again.

Could you please shows some pictures of the gender-bent characters?

I'll take a look at Tiffany and see if I can figure out what happened there, thanks for letting me know about it - and the typo too! As for Viper Canyon, that hood wasn't actually made by me, but by Tarlia.

ETA: I'm sorry, I can't replicate this problem in my game - Tiffany's definitely set as an adult in SimPE and when I moved her and Sammy into an apartment, she had her normal job in the Medical field and the carpool came for her at 9am. Do you use InTeen at all? I know I had problems with some of the basegame adults when I used to play with InTeen, I've not heard of it happening in other neighbourhoods, but it's a possibility. Other than that, I honestly have no idea what went wrong!



I can upload some more of the storytelling images, if you like.

That would be good. I'd like to see what the characters look like.

OK, I've fixed the Baldwin family bio and uploaded a storytelling image from each neighbourhood. The attachments screen is getting very full so I'm not going to upload any more, you'll have to download and have a nosey through the family albums if you want to see the rest!

Crap, I do. My apologies; I loaded up a fresh copy of the hood and had the same problem, but instead of allowing her to go to school, I made her wait and the carpool came for her. Now I gotta figure out why InTeen's screwing with my sims.

Still testing, no problems found thus far.

Ahhhh. Yes, InTeen can make premade adults go wonky (my Vidcund turned into a teen when he got abducted and then had a second birthday!) and nobody really seems to be sure why. However, most problems can be fixed by simply spawning the sims biological clock and putting it away again.

YAAAAY!

wow this is such an interesting and awesome twist!!!!

Not neighborhood threatening or anything but just thought I should let you and everyone else know that I got the Super Duper Hug debug option on most sims. So I guess users should be aware that you had a social hack/mod that maybe others won't?

ETA: Davine Newson still has a male voice as well, is there a fix for that or will that disappear when she ages up?
ETA 2: For whatever reason Davine is treated as male in SimPE so I simply fixed it after she peed standing up.

Aww shite. That shouldn't have happened, I only had about three hacks in, all for teleporting over the dead and changing clothes. D: I'll post a link to the fix for that. As for Davine, I just started playing the Newson family on my computer and discovered that changing clothes brings up the male options, so I'll have a look at her in SimPE and see if I can find the problem.
ETA: I see the problem, Davine's DNA is all female, no problem there, but she's been set to treat as male. I'm about to upload a fixed version of the hood, but if you don't want to restart and just want to fix her, it's very, very easy:
Open SimPE Go to Tools/Neighborhood/ Neighborhood Browser
Select Viper Canyon and open
Once it's loaded, go back to Tools and this time select Neighborhood/Sim Browser
Find Davine Newson and open
On the Overview tab, where the check box says Treat as, hit Female instead of Male
Commit and save
And that's it.

I've never played such a big uberhood before, but I have been very sad these past few months over losing my 8 generation BACC, and I still haven't filled the void. I figure I'll try this to make me love the premades again. Thank you very much for the effort you put into this.

One question, have you considered making these genderswapped hoods as seperate subhoods (or downtowns) we could pick and choose? Coupled with Tarlia's subhood version of the premade hoods, this could lead to some very interesting mini-megahoods.

That is a question I've been asked before and I am considering it, if only because the thought of a hood with both Don and Donna Lothario running around fills me with joy!

Wow, impressive ! I like it, thanks!!!

Can't wait to try it! But OMG the work you put in shows!

After a week of trying to download this (terrible internet) I asked my sister to try at her house. Now I have all eight parts and I look forward to seeing how this all pans out.

This is pretty damn cool! I've been playing with a custom gender bent version of a family I've made (Created clean from CaF) for the past 2 weeks ish.

However I would rather like a Kailan Langerak, how would I do such a thing myself, how would I swap the genders?)

I love the idea, but when I went into the uni hoods, John Stacks is still female (albeit with a male name). Also I can't find Contender household in the family bin (along with other Belladonna Cove families) for some reason?

The Contender, Cordial and Green families are still in the hood. It was only the apartment families that were... Kicked out. :P

Ah, okay, I didn't remember to check there since I saw all others in the game bin So silly of me

Anyways, how do I fix the John Stacks issue (John Stacks has a male name, but appears to be a female) safely and easily? I really want to play this but since everyone else is genderswapped I feel weird about John Stacks being a lady with a man's name

I use TwoJeffs' Sim Blender when I want to change a sim's name (and a whole lot of other things). Well, mostly I use it for random pregnancies (such as the grimm reaper and santa clause and female sims who are alien pregnant) and for changing names so I can make more complex families in CAS. I'll make two sets of adult sims, give them each a child, age everyone up so that the parents are elders and the kids are adults. I'll have the three couples be married in CAS and one of the adults be the child of their parents (since to connect both doesn't work in CAS). Once I get them into a house, I use the Sim Blender to make the other adult related to his or her parents, change names so that the elder couples don't have the same last name. It adds a little fun to my sim creation.

Hi, just seen the comments about John/Jane Stacks and had a quick look and it's not something that can be changed with the SimBlender, I'm afraid - I'd somehow managed to forget to change his character data. I'm in the middle of fixing it now, but if you want to change him yourself instead of having to restart, follow these steps:
Open SimPE and go to Tools/Neighborhood/ Neighborhood Browser
Select Viper Canyon and open
Once it's loaded, go back to Tools and this time select Neighborhood/Sim Browser
Find John Stacks and open
At the end of all the options on offer, you'll see a button marked More. Hit it and then select Open Character File.
Now all you need to do is change the gender in Age Data (AGED) and Property Set (GZPS) from 1 to 2, commit and save. Hope that helps, and I aim to get the fixed version up later today.

ETA: Looking at her, it would appear I SimSurgeried John with Josephine Ruben's face, ack! So uh, I'm really sorry, you might have to redownload the fixed version anyway. D: I have included a separate John Stacks if you want to try giving Alt Sim Surgery a try though.
