It annoys me that all teenage sims get a negative memory if they grow up without going to college, but I don’t want to completely remove the memory (like Pescado’s hack does), because some of my sims should be sad to not go to college.
So I made this mod. If you install it, only sims who have a Knowledge primary or secondary aspiration will get the negative memory for not going to college.
Other sims may still get the “Uneducated” fear and they will still lose aspiration points if they don’t go to college, but they won’t get a negative memory.
I might make another version that also allows Fortune sims to get the memory, I’m undecided.
I think it must be a testament to just *how many* hours I have put into TS2, that I can start modding after a 4 year break and pretty much know what I’m doing 🤷♀️
Maybe someone knows, what we can do! sims.ambertation.de don’t work many days. Me and other creators suffer a lot with this problem. We can’t register GUID = can’t convert objects and made poseboxes, it’s wery horrible for us, Maybe somone knows, how to contact with the site owner or who can tell to owner about this problem. Pls do something. We want to make content for TS2!
Signal boost!
I’ve simply been keeping notepad for myself where I use the next GUID of my block per item when needed + note down which item it was. I mean the guids are always +1 to your previous used one so grab the last item you’ve created and add +1 to it. Just remember it uses hex so after 9 comes A,B,C,E,F then 0,1…. and so on.
So piece of my notepad file looks like this:
which works for me to help keep note about my crap. :)
And if you fill up your GUID block, just use the hash generator in SimPE to generate new GUIDs - it’s not as safe as using the GUID database, but the risk of conflicts is still very low.
With this mod, Sims (townies too, if they aren’t young adults) can receive wants or fear slots, or locks while growing up, depending on the aspiration bar level. This mod also disables receiving wants and fear slots along with locks as university bonuses but it does not remove them if they were received before.
When a Sim grows up with a red aspiration bar level, they will get a 4th fear slot – if they haven’t received it yet. When a Sim grows up with a high enough* aspiration bar level, they will get a want slot or a lock:
A Sim receives a want slot when a difference between their want slots number and their locks number is 3 or fewer, and their number of want slots is at most 5.
In other cases, a Sim gets a lock.
A temporal want slot being a vacation benefit called Carefree doesn’t count up to the number of want slots.
Take in mind you don’t get any notification when a Sim gets an extra want or fear slot, or an extra lock.
The mod comes in 2 versions that differ in the high enough (*) aspiration bar level: platinum and gold. Use only one version at a time.
You need to have at least one expansion pack or stuff pack installed to be able to use this mod.
Known bugs When a Sim having 6 want slots and 4 fear slots gets a 7th want slot (as a temporal vacation benefit), the 4th fear slot gets hidden until the 7th want slot disappears.
Conflicts This mod can conflict with mods that modify general university notifications, or that change the way of receiving want or fear slots, or locks, or memories of growing up.
University of Life by Pick'N'Mix doesn’t conflict technically but conflicts ideologically with this mod, although theoretically they can be used together and still work properly.
It seems that my posting pattern pretty much consists of ‘Don’t do anything for a month then appear out of thin air and spam huge-ass posts like nothing happened’. To keep the tradition going, here’s your gratuitous monthly spam post featuring more interior pics of - what else? That damned castle again. Because of course.
The last time I remembered I had a Tumblr we got to see the furnishing in the left wing, so naturally now it’s time for the right one. There’s an airy living/sitting area that looks suspiciously rococo, a small secluded library at the back, and then the upper floor which features a narrow hallway connecting to two rooms that remain unfurnished for now. The general idea was that the pea green room is to be a bedroom and the other one a bathroom, but my game was lagging like mad while I was playing this lot so I said screw it, I’ll decorate ‘em some other time. I’m slightly worried for my PC’s performance after this whole lot is furnished (the Tin Can is struggling with keeping up with this lot even now), but ehhhh. Gotta suffer for beauty, right?
