Also any advice how to make characters i create feel as alive? Hobby mod/relations?

 

Unless your story is that they're like totally new having moved from far away I would suggest using MCC or something else appropriate to set up some starting relationships for your sim. 

 

I always set up my sims with skills, kind of going by personality and age and the story I have in mind for them as regards how many and at what level, though I'd say for most sims in their early to mid 20s I go for roughly skill level 2-5 in a select few skills that I think make sense for them, and then possibly a couple of skills reflecting their hobbies, interests or work at a higher level (say 6-8), though I don't always do that last one. 

 

Then I think about if there's any of the age reward traits from Parenthood that would make sense for the sim and I use UI cheats to give them that, I mostly use the negative ones, because they're kind of more interesting to me. Though occasionally the others see play as well. 

 

After that I look through aspirations and I consider which ones seem kind of reasonable for the sim and for ones where they fulfill skill, fame and age requirements and I feel like it makes sense for their story/life to have completed it, I use UI cheats to cheat an aspiration milestone/sub-goal to completion. 

After I've done this, I should have a decent number of reward points for the sim and I use this to buy reward traits from the reward store (I try to never use cheats to give a sim these traits if I can avoid it, I prefer to do it in this more indirect way which also gives some progress in aspirations), again ones that I feel make sense for the sim in light of their personality or whatever rough impression I have at that time of their life story. 

 

Then (you can do this one earlier of course) I set up the sim with a career, again at a level that seems appropriate for them and where they've fulfilled the skill point requirements for evey previous level of the career. So I promote level by level, and sometimes I use this for some starting skill levels for a sim before I think further about characterization and other skills. 

 

So that's basically how I set up a sim, you do that you should have it the same as the ones I made, which is a significant number of the sims in the save.

the new version is ready??! lets GOOOO!!! LOL.

[TriggerBlade]

Added more fluff mods and a few tools I'm gonna be using going forward. As well as a career or two.

 

If any of you try out the fluff mods, tell me if they actually enhance the save for you.

 

Share your adventures in this fun world!

PetalZipUpHoodie.package should only be for teen-elder but it has always been tagged as also being a children's clothing piece, so unless you want really weird looking kids, users of this save file need to use S4S to uncheck child for that package.

Huh that's strange. Well we do mark the CC so that it's not equipped at random so it shouldn't be too much of a worry.

hey,

in the optional mods section is written that for the kicktail park the "Let's Get Fit Fan Pack" would be useful. i guess for the skateboard arena, right? (or likely not bc there isnt room for it?) the thing is i'm looking at this park and wonder which three objects i'm missing, because i downloaded the suggested mods. (the lot looks really nice btw). can someone tell me what modded items are in the kicktail park so i can find out what i'm missing? ?‍?

It's the skateboard arena. I'm using a tool that allows objects to be placed off the grid so it will fit. The current version doesn't have it yet as I add mods to the list as I include them into my build progress. I tend to do this so y'all have it ready and working outside of the box once I upload the save.

With the bug that's been going on I sadly haven't been updating stuff, despite wanting to badly, but here's the mod if you want to get rid of the fake skate with the actual one yourself. It's pretty badass.

Oh, after the latest update there is a new stupid bug that affects the gaming experience? How surprising.... Gosh, I'm glad I haven't updated my game yet ?

I never tried t.o.o.l but I'm willing to try thx TriggerBlade

Any time I try to play a sim, I'm booted back to the Worlds screen. I'm assuming its a fault on my end, as no one else has posted about a game-breaking issue like this. Apart from the mods listed on the page, I don't really have any other mods installed. Could I have made an error during the installation of the torrent or CC or is this going to be a 50/50 type deal?

Thanks

 

Could be that your game isn't the latest version, same thing happened to me. Used to select household that i wanted to play but got booted back with an error code telling me to relaunch, updating the game fixed it for me.

Yeah I've been noticing that the school isn't very optimized. I'm gonna be working on that. I kinda just salivated over something I saw on the gallery and edited the heck out of it. I may have gone a bit too far and confused the AI.

I've... never heard about this. Though we did just get an update. I'll see if I can replicate it.

[samsunpurified]

It was an incorrect installation on my end, specifically on BetterBuildBuy, Thank you, though, for trying to solve it!

Hi quick question, what mods are not included in the torrent file?

Hi, everything should be included except for the mods mentioned in the main page. Some are required but most are optional.

Yea, the high school sucks ass and that's being kind, the cafeteria is a clusterfuck, and there not enough desks in the classrooms. My well prepared straight A students fail Fridays tests because they move from desk to floor to desk etc. instead of taking the test, rather frustrating. Just remember to save once you get to school so you can reload, until they work on the exams. Honestly I think that's true for most of the high school stuff period. TBH my frustration also includes my inability to get LittleMsSams calendrer twerks to work as well, it's annoying to have exams and proms every week.

1. Rude -_-

2. Yeah I think I'm just gonna replace the whole thing. Kinda bummed as the school looks really cool but if it's only making EA's crap system crappier then I'll try and see if I can make something nice but also functional.

[flexy]

I actually really Love the highschool build. The Music room/auditorium area in particular. Was able to get the school to function by swapping out the chalkboards in the classrooms to board 1 and board 2 maxis. Great savefile so far. well done

Can you explain? I would love to keep it since it has a room for every possible club I could think of and has a lot of stuff for role play.

Version Rebuild 0.1 + Bjergsen Legacy   
 

Rebuild 0.2 is coming along nicely however this upload is just me adding the Bjergsen Legacy Household as well as uploading a bunch of images of sims from Tibo and Satana-Red who will be appearing in Rebuild 0.2.

 

The reason I am uploading the Bjergsen Legacy Household is because we have decided to go with Satana-Red's lore behind the family. Albeit with a few tweaks here and there. Many locations have already been taken up by mrrakkon's sims and the language mod still treats Windenburg as a foreign country but things will fit in nicely.

 

Some characters may seem familiar for those who are long time followers of mrrakkon as he and Satana have worked together several times and have shown up in each other's image sets and stories. I hope you're looking forward to it.

 

If you end up not liking the new lore for Bjergsen... Well that's why we uploaded tray files for the old version.

Lovely!

 

Any ETA on 0.2? I'm thinking of holding off downloading this version until you're done. Wonderful to see how far the save has come!

I'm chugging away at including all the guest sims, which I'm almost finished with, after that I just need to edit a few lots and then wait on Ghost and mrrakkon to send me whatever sims they have coming down the pipeline.

They'll test out the save a bit, and then after that I'll upload the save as well as the update torrent.

I was thinking of doing the same thing here, guess i'l be doing that now

How do I update this without resetting everything. Do I just add the new household?

The previous file is several months old. The one currently available is completely overhauled with new career and mod support and dozens upon dozens of new NPCs. It's also a lot newer and most likely has less junk data. I'd highly advise starting a new save.

Or you can download the new sims and toss them into the old save yourself.

I will be releasing Rebuild 0.2 in a few days so waiting for that is an option as it also adds dozens of sims based off of collaborators that I've listed on the front page.

[Rizzy_Retardo]

so I already had a lot of the required mods, and helped myself to a lot of the suggested mods listed, but seem to be having an issue. I don't think I've broken anything, because on my existing save, my sims all have pretty active autonomy, but when loading the mrrakkon save, the household, existing or new, all seem to have zero autonomy. Is this intended? I'm assuming this is an MCCC tweak I can adjust?

 

also want to add that the cities look dope just seeing the lots that are available and having tried to navigate a few of them in my initial playthrough attempts with this save.
