Well, I have a default replacement for the face paint masks that makes them all freckles--which means the turn-on is very useful, now! (by Marja/DishoftheDay, if you're looking for it)

The carnival make-up idea sounds good, too, though.

I wish there was an external tool that let you modify the radio stations. The way it is now, whenever I want to swap out the songs for one of my custom stations I have to drop the files in, launch the game, go to a neighborhood, open up the household, go to the options, remove the songs from whatever station you dropped the files in, and then go to the custom station editor and add them in. It's quite tedious.

I looked at the customstation.xml file that's in the Music folder, but it's what I'm presuming is hexadecimal and the best I can do is rearrange the songs:

Code:
  <Station Name="Classic Rock">
    <Songs>
      <Song ID1="0xff41f245" ID2="0x56ececc1"/>
      <Song ID1="0xffdee6f2" ID2="0x8dd5b167"/>
      <Song ID1="0xff45876d" ID2="0x47ec341b"/>
      <Song ID1="0xff5004b0" ID2="0x1636e5aa"/>
      <Song ID1="0xffd580c9" ID2="0x90d404f6"/>
      <Song ID1="0xff8192e7" ID2="0xf35d6ec5"/>
      <Song ID1="0xffa091a3" ID2="0x467144a3"/>
      <Song ID1="0xffae10cc" ID2="0x06b8c2d8"/>
      <Song ID1="0xffe43a6d" ID2="0xe704dc40"/>
      <Song ID1="0xff8321e3" ID2="0x48341e23"/>
      <Song ID1="0xffd2ee2f" ID2="0x2f9a4d40"/>
      <Song ID1="0xffff6521" ID2="0x29d9e058"/>
      <Song ID1="0xff8192e7" ID2="0xf35d6ec5"/>
      <Song ID1="0xff272114" ID2="0xc996a207"/>
      <Song ID1="0xff8c9444" ID2="0x9c3e8901"/>
      <Song ID1="0xff57bcd4" ID2="0x56eb5dab"/>
      <Song ID1="0xffe1c397" ID2="0x12928f0e"/>
      <Song ID1="0xffd38e72" ID2="0xc09330a1"/>
      <Song ID1="0xff5dac1b" ID2="0xc1f1021a"/>
    </Songs>

Heard and seen there are replacement object for telephones to match the medieval setting, but those are stuck with unrealistic unchanged animation. Would be cool If somebody took the time to create, let's say a stack of letter that sim could put in the mailbox (bonus points for devoting to include writing pen animation) or send the messenger pigeon (parrot) outside to retreat to another sim the mail after any telephone interaction is initiated.

P.S. Sorry for my bad english.

a pregnancy option for the game to decide the father.
like multi-PT sets except for the following::
- non-aliens being picked
- option occurring through a hack
if possible, probably exclude "unsafe" characters from the candidates.

InTeen has a sort of variant of this. When teenage Sims 'sneak out,' they have a chance to return pregnant by a random Sim. There's a thread on Simbology about it selecting Mrs. Crumplebottom, though.

Unsafe characters can safely be used as the father, so long as you just use a tool like the Blender, rather than doing anything like making them selectable. I once read a challenge involving this.

I was thinking about this recently and I wish there was some way of making a usable ramp stairs, like modular stairs that functioned as stairs but looked like a ramp. It would be really useful for my elder homes for realism purposes as well as my hospitals. I know it's possible to make ramps using build cheats but they don't always function.

I'm curious: how DO you make one with build cheats? I just tried for like an hour and a half and accomplished a whole lot of nothing.

Perhaps with the constrainfloorelevation cheat. I wondered if it might be possible to create an overlay for the modular stairs to make it look like a ramp, but the angle would be all wrong and the animations would look rather wonky too (feet clipping through and the like).

I think that if one makes an inclined pathway, and then laid down wooden slats on it to resemble a ramp, it would look halfway decent. I've got one house that has inclined pitch on the land and the pixels walk up it just fine.

The tricky bit is getting it to meld with both the foundation top and the ground. That's the bit I can't seem to work out.

Mod to allow Sims to store in the refrigerate ("Put as Leftovers") the celebration cakes and toast, which would prevent them from spoiling.

Especially since couples saving the top part of the wedding cake and freezing it so they can eat it on their first anniversary or at the christening of their first child is/used to be a tradition in many places.

BlackGarden at TSR made all the modular stairs to resemble ramps. I'll leave you to search the site to find them.

program that could test pack compatibility of at least hacks/mods.
probably could work in a similar way to the HCDU (Hack Conflict Detection Utility) program.

i wish there was a hack when you don't have to call a babysitter all the time when someone's working till the end of his/her job.
i mean sure you could call a babysitter when the sims is at work all the time and for just 1 time, i could imagine that when you only have 1 parent or only 1 older siblings, cousin, aunts, uncle and however that's in the household


but i have it when both the sims has a job, when 1 sim has to work but the other sim might go home in an hour or so, the babysitter needs to take care of the baby's, toddlers and/or children's while 1 older sim is home already.
i wish there was a hack for that when you only needs a babysitter for 1 hour or so,

when there's just 1 older sim then you won't have to change that since it's still the same from before the hack but when there's more sims i want to have that hack

You can try locking her up (with the spinning door bookshelf) after asking her to "end service". You won't need to hire her... albeit because she will always be lingering in your house. Not a solution, but it is an alternative after all.

Not exactly what I want from the sounds of the given name mod, though appreciate the suggestion nonetheless. Yes, I would like If teens could skip school (as in leave in the middle of the school), but only If there is is a penalty. I wish for grade to drop If the teen skipped school, even If it comes with the probability determined chance outcome. Otherwise, I would have to do it manually which isn't fun and I'm likely forget to do as it would be an hassle.

Though I appreciate your help and mod suggestion nonetheless. It's just isn't exactly what I'm asking, so to clarify for modders that are reading...

As for jobs, of course those should have harsh consequences, Like with coming late to work two times in a row (or any other performance-damaging scenario) - you're fired.

Would it be possible to create, let's say a hacked neighborhood hack that displays (in a notification) data of how much each household has the funds? Could come like in a form of a bank building shell object.

Although it's easy enough to do after the fact, I wouldn't mind seeing a hack that gave a Servo a randomized personality when first initialized.

i would like a hack that a child (or children's if there's more) could make diner, lunch, breakfast or however that's in teen, adult and elder sims too,

because i'm about to download a hack that a social worker won't come to get the baby's toddler's and children if the parents aren't at home and i want that hack so badly when children could make food what teen,adult and elder could make too

and then call a hack like "children could make food what teen,adult & elder too" i want some new experience i never had before

When moving in a household, it shouldn't automatically switch to them.

Something else for modders to try out in improving their skills: If there happens to be an accesible dresser, Sims will walk to it and change their clothes when needed. Just to give a reaaon and stradegy to layout purchased wadrobes/closets/dressers in the house, as I don't really care what my sims wear.

P.S. Sorry for my bad english.
