Oh, I recognize those red bands! Those are from Nisa's Whicked Perversions mod. Those bands are supposed to be reward features for completing a custom aspiration track, but it seems to be stuck onto your sim anyway.

Search through your Mods folder and delete that mod, that should get rid of the bands. It could be possible that Nisa updated her mod and the version you have is outdated. Hope this helps. 

Wait, Nisa made a perversions mod? I knew that Nisa made a Wicked Whims mod but I never had that show up until just recently! I must have downloaded her mod again or something! Weird! Thank you for the help though! I cannot wait for the next household you release! It's given my townies a much needed change of paint!

Update!

 

Hey everyone! I finally uploaded the TS2 Caliente household. I'm sorry it took so long, but I had to study for my final exams and, well, real life always comes first, right?

Anyway, here's a few screenshots I took:

 

And that marks the end of the Basegame Series! I'll be moving on to the Get Together Series, so keep an out for that. I plan on releasing a remade household around once every 2-3 days.

Also, make sure you add both files in the Caliente .zip file to your Mods folder since you'll need them for the disguises.

 

Ciao, for now!

omg, you made Jonny Zest even hotter. Thanks for making Joaquin look better too. I like Joaquin but hated how he looked. I like that you changed him enough to make him look cute yet a little nerdy and a little scruffy still but not strung out. Thank you very much.

Thank you! I aim to please.

Thank you so much for these!

One thing, though; I've downloaded the Partihaus_Household.zip twice now and both times it's given me an error message (archive being corrupted.)

Don't know if it's just me or what, but just a friendly heads up

[Rapsodia]

The file "Partihaus_Household.zip" is broken.

[Country_Boy]

I also got the corrupt file message. When I tried to start my game up, I got an error message saying that the hair, Ade-Katerina v2, was corrupt. also checked everything with my tray importer and the household file is missing, Household image files and a Sim Gallery Image. I'm thinking that is what is causing the errors, but not sure.

Sorry about that guys! Sometimes an error occurs when I upload files onto here and I don't catch it. I've replaced the damaged .zip file and it should be working now. Let me know if you find any other errors.

In my case game says that every .package from _MACOSX folder is corrupted.

Maybe try opening the .zip file with a different program? I use Extractor for opening compressed files, and it always works for me. If that doesn't help, try downloading the files again just to see if it's any different. I don't know much about how computer stuff works, so I can really only help you up to a certain point. Sorry if this doesn't solve your problem.

When you do the Villareal household do you plan on ageing up Max or keep him as a kid? I look forward to what you come up with either way.

If you are using a PC (windows) and not a mac, delete that entire folder.

Just outta curiosity, are you planning on doing the City Living folks too? Would love to see your take on some of the sims from there ?

Yep. I plan on going through every EP that I own, so that means any households from packs that I don't have won't be redone. So far, the only EP that I don't have is Jungle Adventure (I don't think I'll ever get it unless it goes on sale for under $20 or something because the pack doesn't really interest me tbh).

Once the Get Together Series is done, I plan on moving to the Vampire Pack since it's only like two households.

Errrrmmmmmmmm you'll see. I will say this though, keep an eye on R-Lo's Photography thread, because sometimes I'll post a short story set of screenshots before I upload the files. Sometimes, not always.

So i can't use this due to the fact that the place icon is greyed out saying that the content was made using a newer version of the game, and that i need to update. But as far as i can tell i'm running the newest version (1.41.38.1020). I have no idea what to do....... >_<

I had to reinstall Origin last night because Origin sucks and from time to time believes I need to reinstall it. If reinstalling Origin doesn't work I have no other solutions to offer. Also, do you have tray installer? If not I would advise using the latest version which was updated yesterday.

I love that you aged Max up and made him look "respectable" with the Villareals, he looks great. Thank you very much One less household I have to change myself when I start up a new game with them in it. Again Thank you

Thanks for your kind words.  The decision to age up Max really came down to two things:

1) I don't have any CC for child sims aside from custom skins and eye colors, so it wouldn't be much of a change.

2) I thought it would be interesting if Morgan Fyres (good trait) was romantically involved with Max (evil trait), and the only way that would work is if they were both teens.

I'm wondering if I should go back to the Goth household and age Alexander up to a teen as well. Not sure if I'll actually do that, but it's a thought.

This is such a cute idea! I can’t wait until you get to City Living ?

Btw, I recently got Jungle Adventures and you’re not missing out much. Its only fun for those who likes to do all the quests and stuff (like in Sims 3) And just like Sims 3; I’ve only sent my Sims on vacation and nothing more haha.

 

Anyways, keep up! I can’t wait for more! ?

 

@Infernoxpx You definitely installed Nisa’s mod ? You can turn off those red bands in settings when clicking on a sim. It’s under Tam Explorer.

When I age him Max I use the Ares trait and have him turned into a fighter/Warrior first it's a different dynamics. I started a new game with Prankster Max and am really loving the game play for him but in a different way than Warrior Max with the Ares trait and just as much. I wouldn't have thought to make him a prankster. Again thank you for showing a different path for him. He has recently become one of my favourite townies. Good job 

 

Good and evil as lovers hmm... you know Malcolm probably has an incestuous relationship with his dad. The Landgraabs' strike me as that kind of family.

 

If you're looking for more male, kids and toddlers CC check out K Studio Creations. This is one of my favourite places to download CC Content especially for male Sims and some of their creations have a kid's version for it along side the adult and toddler versions

porkybork, would it be possible for you to pack all your sim-makeovers into one zipfile? Having to download all the files individually would be super annyoing, y'know?

Thanks, I'm glad you like it! The City Living series will begin after I finish the Vampires series, which is coming after I finish the Get Together series. And since there are only two households for the Vampires pack, I'll probably finish it in like one day.

Funny that you mention Jungle Adventures, because I saw that it was on sale and bought it haha. I actually really liked World Adventures in TS3! I liked turning all my sims into little tomb raiders.

Interesting, I never saw Max as the fighting type, hence why I made him into a prankster. It just seemed right, in my mind. I'm glad you're enjoying the new Max!

Yeah, I didn't really think about Malcom very much, but he does seem like the type of person to have a few issues lol. I was more interested in the conflict between Geoffrey being a cop and his wife, Nancy, being a crime lord. I think I was a little lazy with Malcom, in retrospect. I'm sure everyone has there ideas for each household though, so I guess it's not a huge deal.

Thanks for the recommendation, I'll give it a look.

I absolutely would... if I knew how. LL only allows ~250MB per file uploaded, so it's impossible to upload a .zip file with every household in it (2+GB total). I'll ask around to see if anyone knows another way to do this, but until then, everyone'll just have to deal with the current system. I know it's inconvenient, but I'm just working with what's given.

[porkybork]

Attention Windows Users!

__MACOSX files can be deleted. These are hidden generated every time a Mac user compresses o file into the .zip format, and are of no use/relevance to Windows users.

 

I've also added this to the OP, but if anyone running Windows as their OS sees __MACOSX files after opening a compressed file from my "Downloads" list, just delete them. You don't need them for the tray items to work, MacOS is designed to make these hidden files whenever a compressed file is made and is only useful to Mac users.

WHen i put the CC from your household my game wont launch.
