Yeah, I know that. Unfortunately, the design of this dorm is such that two doors just won't fit on the rooms. Basically, I'm converting a large, already-built, 5-bedroom house into a dorm -- sort of like a greek house, but I don't want it to be that in terms of its coding -- and the configuration is such that putting two doors on each bedroom just isn't feasible, and I don't want to rip out and re-do the whole interior to accommodate more doors. I was hoping there was some way I could still have a larger number of dormies in the house, but apparently not. I'll try out the keyed Myne door to see if it'll still work in an all-EPs game, and then playables can pair up in a room, but not the dormies. Ah well. It was worth a shot.

I don't know, but there's an easy way to tell. Download the fowl. If there is a separate file (that's usually called "Controller" or "NPC"), then it has an NPC. If there is no separate file, then there is no NPC.

On CC clothes you can see it sometimes have 2 different options: Slaved and Standalone

Whats the different?

If I remember rightly, for Slaved, there's one copy of shared files like the mesh, tied to one specific recolour. The download is smaller but whatever you do, you cannot attempt to use it without that specific "original version" being downloaded, and the shared bit being put into the Downloads folder.

Standalone can be downloaded as you like, but you will probably have duplicate meshes and the like in your Downloads folder if you are not careful. Also, it takes slightly longer to download.

Slaved means the file draws the texture from somewhere else. If it draws it from the game itself, you will see it in game without problem. If it draws it from another piece of CC, you need to have both files in your game for the slave to work properly (the other file is called the master). With skins, this can be quite complicated. Actually, it can be quite complicated with objects too but whatever.

I no longer come over to MTS very often but if you would like to ask me a question then you can find me on tumblr or my own site tflc. TFLC has an archive of all my CC downloads.

Ah so that's the different, I see. I usually downloads the standalone because I feel if I use the slaved one I must have a version I don't need or want. Pros and cons with everything I guess.

But thanks for the explanation @ieta_cassiopeia and @maxon !

If you have an object that's slaved to a master object that you don't need, you can use SimPE to hide the master object from the catalog. It's not the best solution though.

I think the upper limit is 1920x1080 pixels, since I've heard about people having their games crash when trying higher but I might be wrong.

Enjoyed the chickens,except that I also have a couple of naughty mods. At least one of them had a strange relationship with the chickens. My chickens had male appendages and some interesting woohoo menu options, which, of course, corrupted a few hoods (not the mod alone, I'm sure ... many people have used the chickens download with no problems. It was the combo of chickens + naughty mod*.) I may like frisky Sims, but there are some areas where I will not venture, thank you very much!

Anyway, it seems the owl on that site doesn't seem to have the same problem. The owl hoots and turns its head. Period. It does not seem to create a custom NPC like the chickens. I have used the owl for years, and checked on Hoodchecker. No custom NPC. No harm. No foul.

Are these animals of the same sort ... NO custom NPCs?

If they move around the lot they are most likely controlled by an NPC.

Is it safe to delete custom hairs when there are Sims (both playables and townies) already using them? If so, what would happen to them?

They will probably revert to a maxis style but occasionally they can end up bald and unable to use any hair, so I would change them out first.

@zarathustra - IMO I think 4k might be overkill for sims 2, but I have mine on a regular ultrawide 21:9 aspect ratio at 2560x1080 resolution. It'll be fine and fancy free especially since you don't use cc. You would need to finagle with graphics rule maker however to get it to look right, as I don't even know if the 2560x1080 option comes up in the graphics settings in-game.

Uh oh! My social bar is low - that's why I posted today.

Is it normal for the game to lag/drop fps for a sec when townies enter community lots?
Does a big amount of CC cause that (I don't think I've ever played without CC, except when troubleshooting)?
Can that cause crashing on cummonity lots becouse of too much CC?

Thanks. Then I wont need to worry to switch to it when it arrives , if others simmers on here has a similar laptop. But I hesitated coz Im only familiar with the newer Intel i7 models like the 7000-8000's ones because the 3820 one is six years old.

Overall the AMD I have now is good enoug (with some minor tweaks) but the keyboard A key is getting wonky.

RAM , Ghz are only a margin different of Intel and AMD and fortunately Mac/Windows could be changed. Hardware Intel I7 were superior but as its can fit the whole game, im happy. 😜😋😁

Yes, it's normal. It's pausing to run the randomizer to see who shows up.
If you're running enough custom content, particularly high-poly content, to strain your processor, some lag time is only to be expected. Other factors are lot size and number of sims on the lot. Other consequences might include graphic glitches or even crashing.

Do your best to maximize performance of your machine by adjusting your settings and being judicious about your choices. If you have to have the huge polycount hairs, you need to be satisfied with smaller lots.

Stupid question: Can teens go on vacation alone? Or do they have to go with an adult? I suspect the former, and if true it's going to mess with an idea I have in my head. Perhaps Inteen's independent teens can, however....

(I don't have my game loaded, at the moment, and won't be loading it for likely the next couple of days, so I can't test this out for myself. Just wondering if anyone knows, off-hand...)

Does the sim need to be a YA or older to be able to ask "Teach The Ways/Path of the Light/Darkness" ? Not sure If I should bother having a teen go on hangouts with a grown warlock, because I presume the game doesn't allow underaged sims to take the responsive of witchcraft.... or be involved in a romantic relationship with a grown-up If that's the dealo whenever witches decide the sim is worty of carrying on the Wiccan legacy.

P.S. Sorry for my bad english.

Well, teen sims can be witches/warlocks so I'd assume it's teen and up :/

Ok, I had two pets die on my lot and I moved their gravestones to the downtown Gothier Green Lawns via "Move grave". I hope this doesn't do anything bad since it's only the Downtown, not actual Desiderata Valley.
Now, I want to move my family to a new house in my neighborhood. Anything I should do before I move them?
