sims 4 [ABANDONED] Porkybork's World 2.0 (DL links in OP)

[S-Plays]

Test played Doctor & Scientist careers, nothing unusual with them, all working just as intended like before. Looking at MCCC, I saw an option to Fill Inactive Career Only, according to the forum I read, it means played sims jobs don't change once set. It seems to be for those who rotate households, and want to keep their multiple households careers intact. I'm assuming these households have homes in the world, so not sure if it will work as intended with your career sims currently not in world.

[porkybork]

Thanks to @S-Plays for pointing out the missing outfits in the latest update. As I promised before, I've completed all incomplete outfits for the households that were reported to have missing articles from. I've also finished the O'Mackey household.

Spoiler

Jules O'Mackey (all other outfits):

 

Alexandra O'Mackey (all other outfits):

 

Morgana Wolff's formal outfit:

 

Johnny Zest's cold outfit:

 

Nina Caliente's athletic outfit:

 

I've also made my own version of Tom Peeping for anyone who wants him:

 

I know he may not be as dumpy as the original, but trust me, any man with a mustache that weak is a creepy bastard. I finished his other outfits, but I forgot to take pictures. ?

 

As a side note, NPCC does not allow users to export their settings. Sorry, @Salovas. I'm also probably going to remove it from my Mods folder while I'm working on PBW 2.0 from now on. The mod affects more things in the game than I'd like it too. If you wanna keep it in your Mods folders, go ahead, it shouldn't really hurt anything.

 

I'm also planning on going back to the Base Game file and organizing the Mods folder. This should benefit everyone, as it'll make it easier for me when I'm checking for duplicates, and it will give all of you an easy way to keep your own Mods folders from getting too ugly.

Excuse me, is there any way to insert the sims of Get To Work in to an exist world?

Lots of them. With Manage Worlds, you can plop down any sim from your gallery into your save. With MCCC, you can copy/paste any tray sim over top of any existing sim (I do this with Tina Peeping all the time. Any time she shows up, I paste Porky's version over top of the original. Rawr.) And again with MCCC, you can set how many NPCs get populated by tray sims. Which gets a little weird when sims that died a generation or three ago show up again as paparazzi.

This is the correct answer.

I've heard of this in a few places but how do you do it?  I found a Reddit post from last year with an apparent tutorial but the content has been deleted.

 

EDIT: I actually just found this post:

I actually enjoy making over random townies. It can be a pain sometimes, especially when going to University or any bar on Bar Night, because the game will drop up to 30 Sims & I despise them not in CC. So, I go through & add all the CC myself. Before RoM, every bit of CC would be added & I just had to tweak a few things(light/pale CC skin over actual dark skin & vice versa), but now CC skin does not generate, so it takes a bit longer to  "fix" them. Every so often I do wind up creating a bombshell, but I'm no where near as advanced as Porky's skills.

This I've never experienced, as I have yet to go past my 1st generation after 4 years  LOL

This I never knew about. I mainly use MCCC to check on pregnancy status or fix some random outfits some Sims decide to wear at the City Living events. In my case, besides my Sim & Porky's, all my other Tray Sims are female. I can see this option as a quicker way of doing what I do, but like I said, I kinda don't mind it.

Honestly, the thing that makes a sim look beautiful isn't the CC, it's the sim underneath. The reason some people's sims don't look good despite having a lot of nice CC is that they didn't make a pretty sim with just the vanilla game assets. CC is an accessory, while the base sim is the outfit the CC complements.

 

Anyway, I've made some progress concerning PBW 2.0. I've fixed the missing outfits issue on Base Game and Get to Work. I fixed up the police station in GtW:

 

I also got started on the Spa Day household.

Madam Xiuying Han:

 

Full Body Specialist Mei Lin Wong:

 

Hand and Foot Specialist Shan Li:

 

Drinks Specialist Qinyang Kwan:

 

 

I'm gonna finish their other outfits and get them all set up at the spa. I'm also planning on uploading fixed versions of the previous installments and the Spa Day update on the same day.

True, I'm usually just wanting to get back into the game when I want to overhaul the townies that spawn, so it's usually just quick apply the CC & move on. Now, if my Sim winds up getting romantic with a townie, then I'll go hardcore on the CC & get them up to my standards.

[porkybork]

I finished the rest of the outfits for my Spa Day household!

Madam Xiuying Han:

 

Full Body Specialist Mei Lin Wong:

Drinks Specialist Qinyang Kwan:

I decided to give her a tattoo after I'd already taken her pics.

 

I've also taken a few in-game shots of the girls at work.

Spoiler

Black bars because Han's cares about the privacy of their clientele.

 

Unfortunately, I'm having some trouble assigning these sims to their intended roles at the spa. NPCC isn't working how it should and I can't find any useful cheat codes, so I'm gonna have to figure something else out. In the mean time, I'm gonna try to get the fixed up versions of the Base Game and GtW packs up within the next 24 hours.

[porkybork]

Hey, everyone! Sorry for the delay, I ended up being pretty busy the other day. The fixed versions of Base Game and Get to Work have been linked in the OP! I'll be continuing on with Spa Day from here on. I think I've got a solution to my problem, but I won't bore any of you with the details.

I'd already unpacked and sorted everything to the tray and mods folders a few days ago. I'm lazy and don't wanna do it again *pout*. What all is new/different?

Nothing terribly significant. @S-Plays pointed out that certain households were missing outfits in both versions, so I added them, repackaged everything, and organized all CC into their own folders based on categories (CC - Accessories, CC - Hair, CC - Clothes, etc.). I would've had to do this at some point anyway, so I figured I'd just get it out of the way ASAP.

 

Oh, and fyi, quite a few files are gonna be shared between BG and GtW. Because of this, I recommend you add the CC from GtW's files to their corresponding folders in BG to save space. Your computers should tell you that you need to either replace the preexisting files or skip them. Do either one.

I already had a metric shitton of CC going in, so I try to move the files into my hoard as I sort. Anything I already have gets tossed.

Finally! Not sure what happened on my end of the world, but LL was down all day for me. Now I'm nearly ready for bed & I can access the site. Oh well, gives me something to do tomorrow since I'm on another LoA from work due to Covid-19.

Okay, so it isn't just me that's been seeing that. I was wondering what the fuck was happening.

[S-Plays]

Tom is bald, & no tray folder to see which hairstyle it is. All other households have correct CC applied.

[supercalvo]

I do have hair, is this https://www.thesimsresource.com/downloads/details/category/sims4-hair-hairstyles-male/title/anto-ocean-hairstyle/id/1414394/

Thanks @supercalvo I double-checked in case I missed it, but it's not included in the files.  

[porkybork]

Small update so you all know I haven’t abandoned this project. 
I’ve edited the auto-generated workers for the spa to be exact replicas of the Han household since my other methods weren’t working. It also looks like there’ll be 10 new sims being added instead of only 4. 

[supercalvo]

@porkybork Hello, good day, why are you going to add so many sims?. I really like your sims, keep it up.

The spa comes with two massage chairs, two massage tables, and one bar. Each item causes the game to spawn two workers to work each station on a day shift and a night shift. Five work stations x two workers = ten new sims.

[porkybork]

Spa Day Update!

Added spa: Han's Happy Hands

Spoiler

 

• Eight workers:
  • Three massage therapists
  • Three reflexologists
  • Two mixologists

• Added Hung Twins
  • Both women are compatible with ksuihuh's Sugar Life ("Sugarbaby" reward trait)

 

Here it is, everyone! Up next is Dining Out. Stay tuned for my next progress report!

[Sasquatcher]

I dont suppose there's an alternate download is there? Ive reached my data limit on Mega after downloading the base and now I have to wait several hours to get the rest.

[S-Plays]

Another great job! All CC is applied appropriately, now it's time to get me a massage ?
