http://midgethetree.tumblr.com/tagg...ds%3A-plantsims Whole lotta neat plantsim mods - someone directed me to that tumblr in this post: http://www.modthesims.info/showthre...164#post5514164 and wow... this modder is TALENTED! I hope she uploads her mods here too! Now I can be more relaxed with my vampires and plantsims. I do love them both, but they were so limited in many ways. And being immortal can be kinda lonely when you outlive all your descendants.

Midge has made a LOT of cool stuff (I love what she's done for zombies too). She hasn't uploaded any mods to MTS, but she does have an account here. Her MTS username is Radium if you need to contact her.

Well I hope @Radium uploads her awesome stuff here soon. It might become part of the essentials for simmers.

I'm happy to go get it where ever she wants to upload it. I do consider a couple of hers essential already. Especially her fix for VC and the fixes she did that I requested, of course.

VC? Visitor Controller? What does the fix do? Does it take out all the extra crap that does stuff like make the Secret Society members not wear their cool uniforms outside the headquarters?

Because going to their tumblr and downloading is what? Hard? I will continue to support her, and everyone else, who chooses to upload where ever they are comfortable.

For awhile, Tumblr hadn't been very friendly with my CPU. It'd start running kind of hot when I got onto tumblr - especially when I tried making any blog entries there. It was kinda graphic intensive. I've also seen quite a few hard-to-navigate tumblr blogs.

Yep. Fixes the toga party, the sims going off in the their work clothes and coming back in everyday, the ethnic slur, and forcing defaults that simmers might not want, while making it easy to customize.... fixed.

Has Honeywell's money been posted? It's still in testing. https://twitter.com/HoneywellsNews/...257078159974400

The main problem that I find with Tumblr based sim content is the lack of a search function. You can have to scroll back over pages and pages to find one download.

Interesting. Not much into political correctness these days but the name change isn't a big deal.

I'm just glad that she fixed all the clothing stuff, especially for University. My toga party guests and Secret Society members will wear what they're supposed to! It's also nice to have sims with jobs come home from work in their career outfits again.

Agreed. And in case anyone misunderstands my stance on political correctness... my gripe with it is just that political correctness is essentially being offended on behalf of someone else. Politeness is far better. If this change was done simply for politeness, then awesome. Just do it for the right reasons.

My only problems with the visitor controller are pretty much taken care of in this mod fix. I really hate it when mods hide certain other features and nobody finds out about them until later on. Kinda turned me off to a few mods from the likes of Pescado because I wanted certain features but didn't want others to be nuked or changed.

Another thing I lovelovelove about Midge - she found a way to make mods that disable certain wants! Now we don't have to manually go through all the messy wanttrees hacking and risk borking them. Will hafta put a link to the want disabler mods in my sig along with my rather kludgy fix (keeping it up for reference mostly). Been looking (and asking) for mods like that. Very impressive :D

Just gotta wonder... did Midge go through all those 'Hacks and CC you'd like to see' threads? If so, that's what I call dedication :D

Did y'all see what Rosebine made? No more robotic mad scientist hands! I have wanted this for years!

If you prefer your mad scientists to have gloves, I've been using this one for awhile.

Or keep the Maxis outfit with the mechanical hand and get The Metal Hand of Doom so your sim's other outfits can match it!

I've seen several posts by people having trouble clearing the NPC flags on NPCs that have been moved in and made playable - University cheerleaders and mascots who insist on wearing their old uniforms everywhere, etc. There are mods that try to fix this, but sometimes they work for some people and sometimes they don't. Midgethetree posted a way to deal with the problem by using SimPE to edit the former NPC's character file. Hopefully this will be a more effective solution for people who have this problem in their games.

Does anyone have pictures of exactly what you're supposed to edit? I'm not that great with SimPE without picture tutorials, and I worry I'd mess something up.

This is not just a flag or a checkbox. She's talking about editing the BHAVs. It would be a bit tricky for a beginner. If you'd like to try something a bit easier first, I had excellent results with this http://modthesims.info/download.php?t=76392 and Christianlov's clothing rack.

Awesome thing:

This is kinda cool. I had never seen this before, but it's an excellent tutorial showing what actually happens with the 4GB patch. Most of us have already used a patch for that, but if you were wondering what it did to your file or are more of a DIY type, this is brilliant. https://lifasims.livejournal.com/3738.html?page=2

I generally don't play with pregnant male sims I never cared to look for male maternity before. However, \I've been playin with Strangetown recently and of course we have the alien impreganation of some Curious boys :P

So I went lookin and found preg morphs added to all of the base game, Seasons, Free Time and K&B clothing for males.

Over at Blue Heaven Sims, Ocelotekatl has released a fabulous laboratory set as part of their Midnight project :-)

I have edited BHAVs before - with picture guides. Something about just reading text is just incredibly confusing, I do better with a visual element.

Screenshots are always helpful. As the saying goes: "A picture is worth a thousand words."

Some of the Blue Heaven Sims items are a bit wonky. The wall radio sometimes makes sims freeze while dancing, and the bench doesn't even have thumbnails. Still, the Blue Heaven items do make for some great colony motifs.

Not quite on topic, but is there a reason why people are using this forum as a platform to report issues/ kvetch about my creations ( as opposed to, y'know, posting on the forum where the content is actually located, as a sane person would, so that the feedback can be addressed)?
