I recently learned about igazor's caste system as a means to control rotational play. I am having trouble setting it up. When I set it up yesterday, I had two castes--one for one family and the other for the other family. It didn't go so well. Do I set up only ONE caste even if I have multiple families? How can I link multiple families to that one caste? Would the inactive families behave as they should?

I have figured it out. Still had to do a lot more reading, but I ended up playing around in the game, too. So yes, I technically do only need to create one caste as long as there are no specific settings I want for certain households. igazor's instructions make sense now. It was just a lot harder to comprehend them because I am a visual person. Thanks!

Glad you were able to work things out. Sarah and I came up with our Rotational Play settings as described on that page pretty much independently of each other and we were each heavy SP users going back to way before Twallan even introduced the concept of castes on us years ago. It is admittedly not as easy to understand what's happening there if one is still learning SP and its entire hierarchy of settings (Town, Lot, Household, Caste, Sim) at the same time.

Different players will have or devise different variations on these two options to match their play styles and we always welcome such discussions at NRaas.



For what it's worth, I've just given you an "Agree." We don't "Disagree" that you, among others, find SP confusing. What we don't understand is why (until recently anyway) you felt the need to regard the assistance we are happy to provide players as not worth the time to seek out, the mod documentation as worthy of constant ridicule, and the need to share these opinions so frequently with newer SP users.
