Thanks @Phantomknight - that will be very helpful.

On the floating kids - you can also fix the problem sometimes using BHAVs, as Chris Hatch explained in this thread. But it definitely doesn't work for every animation.

A clone of the "ask to watch kids..." interaction that automatically transfers money to the babysitter (how much can be determined with a slider, perhaps).

so I just had the most awesomeliest idea for a mod .. of sorts (well the idea sounded cool to me :P) .. though I don't think it's possible to do...

anyways...
ya know how a sim gets a memory when they have a baby ... well what if they also got a "found out they were preg memory .. maybe with the first bump ... memory could be a good/ bad one dependin on mood when they "found out" and what their asp is

also a red had baby memory for same reason as above would be cool as well

My sims usually find it out when they hear lullaby. And when they will get out of the bed they immediately start to talk about it.

I have the silent preg mod as I like to be as surprised as the sim is when they bump.... lol

A sure fire way for them to 'know' they're pregnant is when the female rushes into the bathroom and starts throwing up. Even in a modded game, the "Am I pregnant" question will show up in her thought bubble...

True .. I just thought it'd be cool if they got an actual memory of them findin out that they are pregs ...
I doubt it's somethin that could be done... well, I suppose a memory could be made (though not by this goofy gal who knows squat when it comes to modding :P) and then manually put in with either SimPE or Memory Manipulator ... but I much prefer things to happy autonomously and/ or randomly ...

An edit of the Dueling swords from Simwardrobe to allow sims to kill one another for medival RP.

Is it even possible to max out environment score and keep it on max?
Even Simslice Electro Booster what keeps all needs on max doesn't affect environment, And whatever I try to do, when my sim goes off to work, their environment drops a lot.
It will be really great to have this kind of hack.

I'd love to see a mod removing the crossed out thought bubbles Sims get when another Sim uses the bathroom. They're slowly but surely ruining my pictures in bigger families, haha.

After the recent death in my game which I didn't actually orchestrate, I really wish there was a funeral mod. Like, an event one could throw that would have all guests arrive (like a wedding), maybe in a pre-picked black outfit (like how in the base game the bride would change into a white glove-dress at the altar), and the attendees would mourn the deceased and maybe cheer each other up autonomously. That combined with the eulogy mod from here would make funerals a lot less annoying than mine was, having to make everyone selectable to sit them down every five seconds because they just wouldn't sit still for god's sake.


That sounds like there're some things outside that are bringing the score down. I think roaches and maybe weeds and leaves, but at the very least a kicked trash can surely bring down the environment score outside.

Look in the links under my signature or look up 'funeral' in this forum. There are files you can use to phone guests for a funeral, you can pick which clothes they show up in for it, too with a few hacks. I use a hacked chair to make them sit while giving a eulogy and they all properly cry while listening..

The showHeadlines off cheat helps for pics, but it removes everything, so it's not great for gameplay.

Regarding pregnancy: I've noticed there seems to be a special speech bubble (a white pacifier) that will sometimes pop up during chatting if the sim is pregnant but before the first bump. I have the silent pregnancy mod and have been clued in to a pregnancy by it when the sim had no morning sickness.

I wish there was a mod, or even an object, that affected Lot Class.

It seems like, no matter what, all my lots are Low Class.

It doesn't affect my game play too much - especially now that I know to use the boolprop temporary fix to make this change when new Apartment Neighbours are moving it.

But there are a number of really cool looking mods by simler90 that are affected by Lot Class, and so I haven't downloaded a bunch of them.

I'd like my Lot Classes to actually reflect the class of the lots!

Something I was reminded of and I don't think I've posted about before, is that it'd be fun to have assignable objects to set up fake workplaces. For example, say I have sims in the journalism career. I could build a newspaper office and plop down some assignable computers, using a career specific drop-down to find and assign playables to those computers. Then, when I visit the lot with someone else, those playables spawn at the computers and "work". It'd be even nicer if they can be interacted with, have some job-specific functions, and are there at hours they are scheduled for at their job level. I know Chris Hatch has some workplace mods but they seem to be more of the "follow your sim to work" type of thing. I'm thinking more of something kind of like Sophie-David's lecterns, with any functions being linked to their particular job (like maybe someone could go in and do an "interview", or "place an ad" with one of the spawned workers). The workers wouldn't need to earn any money while spawned, since they would still be earning money the regular way when their lots are played.

Another mod I'd love but highly doubt could ever be done is the ability for sims to rent spaces on a community lot, instead of buying a whole lot outright. They would work kind of like apartments, with the renter sim having control over their own little space, while the other spaces are game-controlled like how owned lots are when visiting with a non-owner.

Both of these thoughts came about because I had been building main street type buildings in one hood and thought they would be so much more fun to visit if I could properly fill up all the spaces.

thought I'd share this here so anyone else who thought as I did 'bout it bein cool to get a "I'm pregnant" memory. whoward69 did it :D

Well, he was already workin on his mod and added my idea to it. It's a pregnancy test kit which the sims take either directed to or autonomously.

Ok, seems as if I posted the wrong link ... good mod though :D
Here's the I'm pregnant memory.

I'd love someone to merge the 3t2 bikes conversion set that Veranka did with some form of functionality that doesn't involve the use of NPCs (like mickyss rideable bikes and mopeds )

I'd like to see a mod where if you slow dance with a sim, Stepping on toes is wiped out. I understand that sims with low music and dance skills will step on feet more often than not, But I am making a video with 2 sims slow dancing through a complete song and it keeps being interrupted by stepping on toes. Should I just cheat up the music and dance skill or is there a mod that can nuke stepping on feet completely?

It'd be cool to have an Animagus skill that witches could develop if they maxed out their magic skills... Even if it's still just limited to the cats, dogs, wolves, skunks, and penguins that exist in the game already, it could still be a really fun way of bringing a more magical element to the animals in the game.

I'd like a mod to hit this on the head:
Fun-loving children and teens coming home from school with their Fun meters tanking because school is so boring. Playful kids are lovely and they deserve much better. The public school system is failing them, and failing them badly.

I know that some serious motivated pupils -- like Andrew and Julian -- enjoy school and the learning experience it gives them. And good luck to them. But it fails far too many more playful pupils and makes their young lives miserable. Is this really the purpose of school -- to take all the fun out of learning? Sometimes, when I see young lives ruined like this, I think that it must be.

Now I know Maxis' answer to this: get them into a private school. But lets face it: the private school system stinks too. It is absolutely rooted in notions of snobbery and elitism. It's not just me who thinks this. My young Sim friend Andrew thinks so too. I know because he said so. When that pompous prat of a headmaster Tony Bertino refused to let him into his snobby little school. When the prat said that he and his wonderful mum Gloria were "not the sort of family with which the school wished to be associated". Do we really want impressionable young Sims' minds to be inculcated with this sort of pernicious nonsense?

No! The young Sims of Veronaville and its environs demand a root and branch reform of the education system that gives them the stimulating and enjoyable schooling that they so richly deserve.

So does anyone know of any mods that might give my playful young Sims an education, within the public school system, that doesn't take all the fun out of the learning experience? You know they deserve better than they're getting.

When writing this I got so impassioned that I shed real tears. When I become a Sim, I really will go into the Political Career; I think it's where my vocation must lie. There'd be votes in it too. The voting age in Veronaville is now 13. And the population is young.

@AndrewGloria There is a mod that doesn't tank fun while at school, it's by Nysha

Thanks HugeLunatic!

I believe I've seen that mod before, but I'd forgotten all about it! Nysha says (or implies) it might clash with Inge's schools, but seeing the only one I use regularly is Flexi-school (for Sims who don't go to school at all) I suspect it will be ok. I also use Moghughson's Homework Sometimes Faster Fun mod, which I believe gives a small boost to serious Sims (like Andrew and Julian). Anyway I'll try it, and, if I get any problems, changing the load order might help. If it does work, Glenda and her brother Gerry will be very grateful to you and Nysha. And so I think will a lot of other young Sims in my game.

Meduza released custom smart phone mod, now I'd like to see non-replacement handheld devices?

I want the option to invite all sims over for 3 days, not just vacation Hood sims.

I always play that my university is far away - it would be nice to invite kids home for a couple days to see their parents.
