Simsample to the rescue ...again! Thank you for the tents. For my own game play, it was easy enough to switch the lots to Residential, erect the tents, evict the sim, then switch the lot back to Community, but it was driving me crazy tonight trying to figure out what the deal with the tents was when I exported the world. | |

I find it useful to be able to place rabbitholes in CAW without needing to place a lot so I enabled a few of them in the Metadata that weren't already unlocked by other members here (at least not that I could find). The list is as follows: Base-Game -Business rabbithole -Diner -Hospital -Theatre -Police Station -Stadium Late Night -Movie Studio They're single packages but I put them all in one archive because I couldn't figure out the mutiple archive thing on this site  If and when I unlock more, I'll add them to this post

Oh, okay I wasn't sure how well that would've been received. Do you know if it's okay to place the ambitions miner off-lot? or does it need the lot to generate the minerals/mine holes? I haven't found it yet but I'd really like it to make construction sites.

It's fine to make a new thread, I'm glad for you to have them here otherwise, though! There's a sticky post at the top of the forum telling you what to do:http://modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=463095 For the miner, I should think it would work but the only real way to know is to test it. Are you feeling brave?

I tried placing a miner off lot, but last I checked, sims think the way to it is blocked, for some reason. Maybe you have better luck. If you have, please report your findings

Since Showtime and the 1.32 patch, has anyone else noticed the food trucks not stopping at their parking spaces? I use the Nrass Traffic mod - correct 1.32 version - and the simsample truck and parking space to get them showing up and working in Sunset Valley. The food trucks are still driving all over town, but very rarely do they stop. More often than not they just vanish into thin air when nearing the parking slots. Have not tried out Bridgeport yet, to see if all is well there. |

They are working just fine in my games, using both traffic mod and in cities. So I suspect you have something that is changing an XML, or otherwise interfering. The trucks stop for long enough for my sims to use them, just as before. | |

Hmmm. I just noticed Daniel's rabbit hole packages. Given all I've seen while browsing the game files, I would be extremely cautious to place a rabbit hole down outside of a lot. During opportunities it looks to me like sims are drawn to lots, not rabbit holes. I could be wrong, but it could cause some seriously issues for the game to have any rabbit hole that generates opportunities - especially opportunities that call NPCs - outside of lots. Just a warning. I'm not sure how correct I am, but it's something I'd not do out of sheer caution. I know they *seem* function well enough, I've tested them off lots before, but... ...I'm not convinced they function properly in all regards. |

So far I've not heard of any reported problems (as long as the rabbitholes are accessible), but I'd be interested to hear other people's experiences. Which opportunities are you referring to? The only ones I can think of that wil call NPCs are the ones for chess tournaments and suchlike, which are not rabbithole based. If you mean opportunities that non-playables will be drawn to when using a story progression replacement, then they should work just fine, as they are based on the rabbithole itself (for example, go to city hall to get a fish out of the plumbing). |

Perhaps some of you will find this useful. I created a Permanent Sultan's Tabernacle, which is buyable and available in CAW and the World Editor: http://www.den.simlogical.com/denfo...ic=1069.msg7514 |

Very useful, nonamena! Do sims sleep in it okay if it's placed off-lot? Would be great for making exotic campsites! |

I put it somewhere off lot and the sim enjoyed the tent just fine. But if anyone notices a problem with that it'd be great if they could report it. |

Oh, hah! I've already wondered what the funny little "P" thingy was, and why I couldn't place one of those. Thank you once again simsample, you're my hero! Seriously, I've learned so much thanks to your tutorials and help. Glad to have you around :D |

I've noticed the subway rabbitholes don't function properly if you have a mix of them both on and off lots. Sims will enter and then quickly exit without having traveled anywhere. |

I haven't tested but I was thinking that they use the proximity of whatever lot they're on to determine the best egress point for whatever destination. if that's the case, they probably won't work off-lot. Does anyone else have off-lot subways? That is though, the only one I've had any trouble with. And I have a lot of liberated rabbitholes | |

I've just pulled my hair out trying to find the picnic blanket in CAW, I wanted to place it by my river. Now I see it won't show as it isn't for CAW, lol. I'll just need to make them take their own picnic with them. |

I've never tested that in-world, fluttereyes- but I suspect it may have some side effects (like the benches we were discussing). I can forsee townies congregating around a single picnic blanket instead of heading to the nearest diner! But it would be worth a test as riverside picnics sound nice. Why don't you try it out- they are there in SuperCAW as 'public picnic spot', or just mod my downloaded OBJD. |
