Sim-Templates (maybe from MC -command)

[2dk2c.2]

Once a person has tweaked a sim's physique and skin-tone, they might want to *paste* that physique and skintone on every sim on the lot or the world.

I (right this second) can paste from a tray, but I don't want that,

I want the heavily -tweaked (or pristine original sim) looks of a particular sim to everyone else.

I ruined "Lily feng", she has some look only a runway model could love (overbite, real fat butt) and I despair changing her back to her pristine original self,

But Actually, if more sims (or All sims) looked a lot like her except for clothes and makeup etc, 

That would be great.

Lily feng, Landgrab, Summer holiday, Candy Behr, these archetypes are perfect to me and should be duplicated everywhere, only I can't figure out how.

Help!

Thanks.

I thought MCCC could do it using templates but never figured out how.

Asking on Deaderpools Discord channel might get more help.

 

But I do know sims Fit/Fat levels will change over time unless you have a mod to stop it.

I'm still using this old mod and it works on all sims.

The zipped files should not be extracted install as is.

You can still adjust sims manually.

 

You can look at your favorite sims in CAS to see which EA body preset they used.

But you never know if they were tweaked a bit after the preset was used.

Of course this is a one sim at a time editing thing.

 

The next problem is once you have all your sims fixed...

You start a new game save and all the EA Residents go back to EA defaults.

Unless you create a Master Save with all sims edited first.

Sims are all fixed yet the game hasn't progressed at all when you start a new player.

Loading your Master Save is then like starting a new game.

Any Lots that need to be fixed should also be done in your Master Save.

 

You just have to remember not to overwrite it once you start playing on your Master Save.

Soon as your new played sim gets dropped onto a lot do a 'save as' with new name.

Fat vs fit isn't so much a problem as hair and skintone.

But I wanted to be as general as possible, and anyone playing sims well would know more than me.

I'm also guessing google is my friend, (*shrugs*)

If sims insists on regenerating random sims, why s(error)

(re-editing) Is it possible to clone sims *automatically* so generated sims are close to the behrs and the fengs and the Landgraab Lady (and anyone else you'd want).

If not, Lets limit this to Tatoos: Is there such a thing as a default tattoo?

 

Yes! 

If this works, that's great. Now All's I gotta do is be sure my library is clean and neat.

If this works, why is it so hard to find?

Some of us have been using this setting forever but you need at least a hundred edited sims saved to your Gallery/Library.

(I've got around 200 edited sims saved but doesn't help with Residents unless you swap out your tray sims and delete the originals in game).

If a person only has one sim saved they will get 100 different copies of the same sim.

 

Now if you want more control to stop or limit EA random spawns into game get the 'NPCC' mod.

You'll have to pay 3 bucks to get the latest version though as it's behind a paywall now.

But it's worth it just to stop all the EA randoms and you can assign bartenders, baristas, and other jobs to sims you want.

The NPCC mod:

Well I paid the three dollars, and I now have the April 2nd version.

I *sometimes* get save-errors with a really long code attached, but I can live with that.

But what really made me wanna come back here to gripe was the San Myshuno coffee stand that maybe shows up twice a week or so.

The vendor sat just outside on a bench talking to a friend, while her stall was closed!

Maddening!!

I get that no one cares about coffee and it's really only there for atmosphere, but I miss it tons.

I wish it was there every damn day, 24/7.

Well If you had a vendor show up at least NPCC is doing it's job by assigning the Vendor.

Beyond that it might be a game bug or another mod but it's hard to tell why they won't go to work.

Did you try asking her directly for Coffee?

 

Save errors are another problem but I have no idea.

I use NPCC and a bunch of other mods and never had one.

Might find a clue.

Yeah, tons of sites, little answers. Categorized and sorted. 

Rather than go off the deep end I am seriously guessing right this exact second that the culprit is the rock-climbing wall.

But that's only a freaking &^%$# guess (right this second)

I never ask stuff, I swear, I hit a wall when I do.

I spend half my time guessing and trying different things.

More time spent trying to fix bugs than actual game playing, lol.

 a forum has one user who binds sims 4 to only two CPU cores.

But I do not know how my cores (on my AMD) are numbered (real and virtual cores).

If the real cores are first, no problem.

If the cores are numbered Real(virtual)Real(virtual) then my command forcing the game to use the first two cores is stewpid.

cmd.exe /c start "D:\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\Game\Bin\TS4_x64.exe" /affinity 3 "D:\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\Game\Bin\TS4_x64.exe"

???

Unhelpful link follows

Possibly (if it's true) very helpful link follows (assuming the guy knows and isn't reading a textbook)

I know Sims 4 isn't up to technology using multi-core cpus.

Think it only uses two cores for the game itself and other cores are used for OS and background tasks.

Pretty sure my older Intel CPU 2500K has 4 real cores only without any hyperthreading.

 

Haven't done much performance tuning in a long time but I know my Win7 OS is faster than Win10 and has less overhead.

Used to use Game Booster utility before loading games and it shuts down some of the unneeded Widows junk running in the background.

Disabling all the power saving BS in Windows helps too.
