If you get TwoJeff's "Have, Not Adopt" then they are the same thing for same sex couples, but still different for opposite sex couples or singles. (If singles can even roll the want to adopt. I don't know if they can or not.)

I've never heard this and I've had multiple nannies on the lot, especially when I had a household of 50+ uncontrollable sims and needed the backup. Didn't see anything weird happening. Outside the normal weirdness, of course.

Darby Alchemist Join Date: Feb 2008 Posts: 2,720 1 Achievements	Early on in Sims 2, I had Stella Terrano and her hubby breeding little aliens like crazy. As in, having both be pregnant with twins at the same time. With what essentially ends up being quads, I usually had two, sometimes three nannies on lot at a time. However, Mootlida told me that multiple nannies end up being less efficient than just one because two or more will often try to do the same things at the same time. Seems like there was a technical reason why having more than one on the lot is a bad idea too, but I don't remember what that might have been. I did have one of the nannies walk off with one of the babies once. I've heard of that happening with single nannies too, but still, I stopped hiring more than one at a time after Mootilda's cautionary comments.

	Simblr. I'm also on GoS. I go on here for the community, not really for the downloading. Just being honest.

I believe so! My first owned lot had the ticket machine going while I also sold stuff from the shelves, and they both functioned fine.

Thanks. It was actually an old post of yours in a recently bumped thread that sparked this question.

sweetbaby160 Space Pony Join Date: Mar 2011 Posts: 433	How do you find out what you have downloaded from MTS when the creator appears to have removed all his/her uploads? For example I am going thru my folder (6mths on & still freaking have too much) & I find something like this: MTS_SolidGoldFunk84_1145879_SGF_Anto84_PookletColors_BINNED. Now in this case I am lucky enough that the creator put that much detail into file name but lots of times there isn't even that...what do you do when you come across an old download that you have no idea what it's for?

There is one from Sims Asylum (need to have an account to see it), someone made Magic Town from TS1 into a Downtown subhood, and Tarlia made Belladonna Cove from AL into a Downtown. Check out the links here: http://simswiki.info/wiki.php?title...rhoods#Subhoods

I just have the default one, but I may add the Magic Town one because it looks really cool.

Always on the look out for new custom content! Especially TS3 conversions.

I use meetme2theriver's cleaned Downtown template http://meetme2theriver.livejournal.com/63030.html its a cleaned and fixed version of the one that comes with Nightlife and Mootilda's Hoodchecker generally doesn't find as much junk (especially with the Tricou family).

This sort of thing is what Delphy's Download Organiser was made for. It'll tell you if bt8887thingy_grey.package is a piece of clothing, an object recolour, a blush or anything else, which makes sorting downloads so much easier.

ETA: A question of my own! I was googling around for stuff on the Secret Society when I stumbled across something said it used to be possible to export neighbourhood data from SimPE as a CVS file or something so it could be opened in a spreadsheet. This sounds intriguing and I was wondering if anyone knows anything about that. Did it stop being supported after a particular expansion? Or with the right version of SimPE, would I possibly be able to get this magic to work?

It's really useful for cleaning out hairs/clothes/makeups and all that. Sadly, I can't remember the name or who made it atm, and I no longer have it. Anyone that knows where it is?
