Before I started writing this story, I was thinking about characters and plots but not committing anything to paper (er- you know what I mean). It was distant enough in the past that I don't really remember where the caste system started. It might have begun with a sim that I had in my former incarnation of the game called Veronica German who was hell-bent on social climbing.Penelopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16697841178807127327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2187725024365043008.post-88634528792888966472009-02-01T23:08:00.000-05:002009-02-01T23:08:00.000-05:00Ok, this clears a lot up.

I love the rules you have set up for the townies to qualify for Resident.<BR/><BR/>Did this system develop as you were playing or was this something you decreed one day?The Lunar Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00300943457749354465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2187725024365043008.post-10843905782110199072008-12-17T19:38:00.000-05:002008-12-17T19:38:00.000-05:00No problemo.

I HAVE A BETTER IDEA,"</B> says Penelope one million years later.<BR/><BR/>What you should do is this:<BR/><BR/><B>boolprop testingcheatsenabled true</B> (either when you're on the desired lot or in the neighborhood screen)<BR/><BR/>Once you're on the lot, press SHIFT and click on the mailbox. You will be given the option to "Make Me Know Everyone". Click it! Then your selected sim will know all of the Townies and NPCs in your game. Which means that you will be able to see thumbnail pictures of everyone before you invite them over or summon them with Insim.Penelopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16697841178807127327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2187725024365043008.post-30448852099404653362008-12-17T10:30:00.000-05:002008-12-17T10:30:00.000-05:00Hmm well I can only think of a few, unfortunately....Hmm well I can only think of a few, unfortunately. I have a habit of incorporating the fugly townies and downtownies. I was even planning on pulling Goopy Gilscarbo into Blue Lake at one point. Then I thought better of it. But not because of his ugly.<BR/><BR/>Forgive me if some of these are downtownies and not townies. But here's who comes to mind:<BR/><BR/>Troy's mom, <B>Jan Tellerman</B>. She has good-looking kids too (in my experience):<BR/><BR/>http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk283/penelopethefox/jangainsafamily.jpg<BR/><BR/>She wears the outfit pictured but has different hair.<BR/><BR/>There are several <B>Ivy Copur</B>s in the game but there is one that looks like this:<BR/><BR/>http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z296/Kazz96/PaleLegacyIvyCopur.jpg<BR/><BR/><B>Kennedy Cox</B> (right):<BR/><BR/>http://heidisimsblog.blogsome.com/images/thompson5028.jpg<BR/><BR/>Then there's this <B>maid</B> who I think is in every neighborhood but for sure is in Pleasantview:<BR/><BR/>http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/Kaylynn_Langerak<BR/><BR/>What I would do is just to summon some random townies to the lot and check them out. If they work, then add them to the family to make them completely playable. If not, just send them on their merry way. <BR/><BR/>Hope this helps! :)Penelopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16697841178807127327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2187725024365043008.post-53634096869565330952008-12-17T00:14:00.000-05:002008-12-17T00:14:00.000-05:00Hey Pen, this doesn't really have much to do with ...Hey Pen, this doesn't really have much to do with this post, but I figured you'd probably be able to answer this question, so I tried to find a post where this would seem kind of semi-relevant.<BR/><BR/>I'm guessing you're familiar with most of the Maxis townies and NPCs, since some of them are in your characters' family trees. Of all of them, which ones do you think are the most realistic looking? I made a village on a 5x5 and am in need of at least seven more people to fill it with, and I want to try to avoid making new sims if I can, but some of those townies and NPCs are so impossibly ugly...Vanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09325395792013382406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2187725024365043008.post-86258724537985411492008-11-29T10:50:00.000-05:002008-11-29T10:50:00.000-05:00Ha!

Telling yourself (and occasionally others) that you're not going to do something that you're in the habit of doing is often a way to ensure that you're going to do it. :DPenelopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16697841178807127327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2187725024365043008.post-44450394427259088052008-11-28T17:09:00.000-05:002008-11-28T17:09:00.000-05:00Ohhhh!!
