Didn't mean to point fingers at anyone, I just really thought your remark was of disbelief so I got confused.

She played guitar and drums well enough, so I'd grab my bass and jam. At least they are local so I can visit, but her partner is also taking care of her grandkids (daughter problems) so it gets a bit hectic and any quiet time needs to stay 'quiet'. 3 years is good, hang in there as marriages today seem fleeting, although my parents are going on 54 years (Mother and Stepdad) so yeah, I was best man at my mom's wedding at 7 years old, and my 5 year old brother 'gave the bride away'. The remark was more of 'discovery'. Sometimes people forget 'this info by itself' is innocent, but the right combination may give more away than intended. Also, sometimes guys like to 'pose' as girls online - I don't get why... I like to use female characters when I play, but never tried to pass myself off as one, and it actually is pathetic to see other guys 'hit' on a female avatar - geesh dudes, put back in your pants already! I've come to the conclusion the guys that think 'you're' weird for using a female avatar are also the same ones whom want to hit on girls online, and get embarrassed when their attempts 'backfire'. Juvenile mentalities....

I'd run slackware on the desktop if I could, but almost all "big" programs I have are for Win. (Heck, got a bash shell open now... just more at-home in a shell) XP was just the minimum level needed for TS3, which usually means people have discs gathering dust & might could get for free or very little (to have a legit version). Win7 or 10 would probably cost more. I got curious, so started checking (mainly was vmware still 'free' or not) but found this that may be of help: https://www.vmware.com/topics/glossary/content/windows-mac

But some of the issues over on my side of the screen is from using a huge mod pack that I found somewhere that had a lot of, well stuff I didn't want that came from some other site (see rule 3). So I kept the parts I wanted, got the game working, but then was left with a huge "WTH did that come from" problem. I have more than 500 packages in there, and that includes 3 hair merged packages that total over 2.1 GB! I have been going through stuff to see what I can safely merge, and what I don't need or want anymore and can just delete. On the left in quick access you seemy "test in game" folder... nearly 100 individual packages just in that sub-folder! New CC from others that I'm deciding whether to keep and merge, but mostly my CC that I'm testing... some that's pretty good and I should return to and fix the problems I see with it, some that is current work, and some that is in limbo. 57 minutes ago, vtb said: Running programs in 32 bit mode also restricts you to 32 bit addressing with regards to drivers and such.....

I can't find any docs on that, but other things I've used treat the value given as a "seed", which means it gives a small influence but is still a random outcome. This thing, though, must be some EA function, and I've read elsewhere that the EA randomness is flawed. (Although that seemed to be more making 5% turn into feeling more like 25-50%.)

I can add relationships between humans Sims, but the whole point was adding relationship between an animal and human, just so the fairy would be appointed as the unicorn's offspring. Like an "anarchy" version of MC, where you can do the craziest things (reminds me of good ol' boolprop on TS2). I don't really mind the lenghty posts, I'm a lenghty poster myself.

Juvenile mentalities.... We don't really see the two of us breaking up thanks to the level of honesty and transparency we always had with each other; I can't tell for others, but to me being unable to talk without fighting brings couples apart since two different people may struggle to walk the same path. But I get what you're saying, my parents are divorced so the concept isn't new to me. I'm glad your parents are still together after so much time, it's heartwarming to see couples like this. As for pretending to be female in the internet, I don't understand myself. I mean, I could understand if said person had a different gender identity, or gender identity issues (and unable to come out of the closet), but these examples aren't really that. This whole mindset is really sad, it would be nice if people could just play whatever they want with whatever character they want without these stupid situations happening.

We've got much more "space" upstairs than we often like to convince ourselves that we do. Switching from a case-heavy language to one where they're not as widely used, has to be hard (the reverse definitely is). And I just yesterday learned that the "Г" letter is pronounced vastly differently in Ukr than Rus. ? I've been studying one of those for longer than you've possibly been walking and still struggle. Over use of tools & under-use of speaking. ?♂️ How good is the Portugese translation in KW? It looks like it was actually translated to that language (there's even separate string files for .pt and .br). I've never actually tried switching the game's language, but I know how. Yeah, I don't really have an "use" for them, other than English. The only other language I can read and talk is Japanese, took classes for 5 years, but I'm not fluent; I can understand Spanish alright, and know a little of Italian and German. Very, very little. But no one around me really talks another language, and I don't interact with people in these languages as well because everyone will just use English right off the bat; so not having "use" to them doesn't really help on sticking the knowledge around. Learning more to be able to read/talk would be a luxury I'd pursue if I knew I'd be using them. So I just sit here watching those multilanguage Disney songs videos and swooning over linguistics. About the portuguese translation: I don't know! My game is in English. I know how to change the language too, but since I always play with mods and not all of them might have translations, I didn't really bother. Years ago I played at a friend's house, and I remember the official portuguese translation had some badly localized things as well, so that was a plus on deciding against a translation. (Also it's easier to look up things in the The Sims wikia, the places and items have VERY different names more often than not! I remember I spent nearly half an hour searching for an Angel Fish in TS4, only to realize the portuguese name didn't have "angel" at all in it. )

Guest Posted April 4, 2020 Posted April 4, 2020 A follow up on a couple of things we've discussed... I looked, and there is no pregnant morph mesh for male sims. There are both blends and blend geoms files, but they appear to be empty place holders, similar to a female garment with no pregnant morph. I only checked male bottom nude, since that would be the most likely place for a pregnant mesh. KW broken condom... 5% is BS!!! Just started a new game a couple days ago. Mostly, I establish their careers and gain skills the first few sim days, and minimize the woohooing. I'm on day 7 of week 1. My sims have woohooed maybe 4 or 5 times, and already a broken condom notice!!! That's 20% to 25% with KW set to 5%!!!
jdw6 Posted April 4, 2020 Posted April 4, 2020 23 hours ago, LadySmoks said: That's 20% to 25% with KW set to 5%!!! I think there was a similar discussion w/ Passion a year or so ago. That dev was actually active then, and said it was a result of using the EA random function. Maybe I should take a peek inside his code to see if it's the same thing KW uses, but I strongly suspect it is. It's also probable that I didn't actually play w/ that setting as much as I thought, since I've been swapping around between saves while trying to sort out my mod folders, it's likely that setting got reset w/o my really noticing. Edit: Yes, both mods are using the same library for determining when a condom breaks, just not the same exact function. So there's slight differences, with, surprise surprise, KW being more complicated in its calculations: KW: Random based on 20 + ( male skill level * 8 ) , if that number is less than broken chance setting, it breaks. Passion: Random based on break chance setting. Why the 8 x multiplication and the addition of 20 for KW? ha! no clue! But what this is kinda telling me is that there's a greater chance of broken condoms for less skilled males (skill is woohoo).

I know it says there's a chance of it happening, but if I tune it to 100%, it shouldn't be only a chance anymore, but still... OH SNAP, I just found out what was the problem. I'm so stupid LMAO. I had this setting right here set to "Animal". Spoiler The options are Human, Animal, Random and Disabled. For some reason, I thought setting it to "Animal" meant she could get pregnant from animals only (since werewolves are, basically, a species too?), and not that she would give birth to only animals. Given that, the other settings are pretty much self-explanatory. I set everything to a 100% chance again (I've been manually fumbling with these for God knows how long LOL), and shortened the pregnancy duration so I could test it ASAP. As you can see in this very screenshot, the baby was born alright! Spoiler The relationships are showing as intended too. I'm so happy it works askdladkj That's exactly what I wanted!

XD Set it at "human" already because geez, the foals are adorable but I don't have the heart to make them go to other homes... neither can I play with that many animals in one household. That was just spasm typing, like, when you just type gibberish because you're excited or overwhelmed. It's pretty common here in Brazil (hence why brazilians are known to have infinite ways to laugh on the internet since pretty much anything can be a "laughing typing" here), and I've seen english speakers doing the same, but maybe it's just my personal circle. hahaha 1 hour ago, K80ayo said: Is this mod still functional in 2020?

Maosicca Posted April 5, 2020 Posted April 5, 2020 I already have kw since long time ago, and today just randomly open this page again to see if there is any updates.

Example, ONIKI_Anims is 20/1/2018 but the new kw v3 i download have ONIKI_Anims modified date on 21/2/2017. any suggestions?

landess Posted April 5, 2020 Posted April 5, 2020 Well, Trying to play my 'Breaking Bad' saves I started but there's an issue with the Blue Sky/Methamphetamine product. While the requirements to produce it (as other 'drugs' in the chemistry workbench) aren't a huge issue (needs logic lvl? and a science skill of 7) I can cheat it in. No way Jesse Pinkman has either of those, yet he is able to make it while the quality is questionable in the TV show. My real problem comes from trying to move it. Been working up the quantity to sell to the criminal hideout, but the online cost vs the cost to craft it is pretty pathetic as far as profit goes. ($5K to buy/$1600 to make-takes several hours to make) Next: It can't be 'make shady deal' or offered to the consignment shop, and while I can add it to the 'produce stand inventory' no one buys it. So from where I'm sitting - this form of gameplay is broken and that's somewhat sad. The profit margin makes it cosmetic at best and sadly, growing weed is so much more profitable, and this is before adding in the time invested to make 10 pills (at around $500 a pop to buy online). I wouldn't be adverse at all to tweaking these settings but from what I gather, messing with the KW scripts is a pain, and hit or miss. I guess I'll try Simoine (Gah! already feel defeat) But imagine even less profit for the time invested makes it easier to get a freaking rabbithole job. Well - at worst case I can just play another houshold and have those 2 as other 'interesting' residents. My Breaking Bad is Badly Broke. >>> More Testing: I had Jesse join the criminal career branch. He NOW has the option to make a 'Shady Deal' and SURPRISE - Blue Sky is included. (he also has some Joints and Simoine in inventory, and all three are offered) Guess, I'll keep testing to see how it all works out. Spoiler The amount here is a LOT more than one can pay for an online purchase: hopefully the game just plays out and the inconsistencies don't affect the game. Addiction may still be an issue, and if so - I'll have to make a decision if getting Sims 'hooked' is worth it. Tending your 'flock' may be cool, but it also depends on whether the payment is taken from the inactive Sims cash worth, or if it just gets paid out of thin air.
