Macrostatics and such I don't even know what they are, I use the safety mods (anti-corruption..) and then I use mods to stop annoying behaviour or repair broken behaviour, I don't think I ever downloaded anything that makes sims more efficient or makes them better at what they do.

Macrotastics means you can direct your sims to do homework, skill, clean, pay bills and study in uni and at the same time fill their motives. Just plop down a flamingo, an espresso machine and the Bathroom uses you toilet roll and you are set. Invaluable if you play large households with free will on.

I never noticed/minded those things so never 'fixed' them. I don't fix stuff that is either not game breaking-or does not annoy me.

But apart from those two issues, Gussy Up works the same and is superior. The clothing tool does a really odd thing with the wardrobe where it replaces clothes rather than actually fixing them, whereas Gussy Up leaves the original clothes in the wardrobe plus adds new ones. OK it's cheaty becauseit's free, but meh.


How is Gussy Up superior when it doesn't do as much as the clothing tool lol? The clothes replacement is actually explained in the readme. It's for replacing horrible outfits that you grew up into for free, where you don't want the original outfit still in your wardrobe. There are other options on the clothing tool to get new clothes without replacing current clothes.

I guess one thing I do is if I see a hack fixing something then I presume that the thing was broken or else wouldn't need the hack. Before I had any problems with them I automatically installed stuff like ftminifixes or alfixes, because OMG bug that might cause corruption lol. I wish I knew which things were safe to leave alone.

I love Gussy up, it's Superior because it's not just clothes, it's also change appearance and a CAS face molding window.

Used it on the Goodie's. They don't run, anywhere actually, lol.

I did experience the genie-money being lost because the command was queue-stomped, the first time I tried that wish with the genie. It might have been fixed since, I rarely ever use the lamp, I wouldn't know.

Yes - they have to be Active: just barely over 5 points and they will run everywhere. Children/teens don't have to be encouraged all the way to 6 points, which is a blessing. Very neat sims may sometimes do the happy walk instead of running when you direct them to clean.

Gussy up allows you to change the outfits and appearance of any sim at any time, not only controllable sims and not only if the item is on the lot. It also calls Plastic Surgery (which I don't use) and it doesn't mess up the wardrobes if you wanted another sim to wear the clothing the first sim was wearing. Finally, it's compatible with Phaenoh's hair colour-linked skin tones, which the Clothing Tool is not. (So there's an unintended consequence to that mod, granted, it's irrelevant for most users!)

Its downsides are the lack of toddlers and the lack of outerwear. But I can buy them outerwear and the baby clothes buying teddy does toddler clothes, so it's not so bad. I used to prefer the clothing tool, but I definitely prefer gussy up now.

Both the clothing tool and gussy up allow change appearance.

I use the sims as a psychology simulator...

To be honest, all sorts of mods have that capability to limit fun aspects of the game. For quite a while, i couldn't figure out why I couldn't pull up the "stay the night" or "sleepover" menu items, and found out some time later that a mod that I had really liked was keeping those from popping up. And strangely the mod itself had little to do with sleepovers or overnight stays.

Over the last year or so, I've become much more selective with mods. Yes, I still use them and like them, but also realize it may be a tradeoff.

Of Pescado's mods, I use these. I might have missed a couple. Sorry!

I would also like to know if any of these mods interferes with something else in the game other than what they're intended to fix. Thanks!
I know my daughter hated the firemod because, she didn't get any kitchen fires at all (I don't know if that was typical, or another mod wasn't playing nicely with it), and for some reason, she wanted them. So I removed that one. It worked pretty well, though!

Thanks to ALL free-site creators, admins and mods.

RIP Sunni ... truly a ray of light.

Necromancy I know, but I've changed my opinion on one of these hacks. Noadhd has been narrowed down to the hack that's making my sims freeze and have to be force errored whenever they try to read on a hammock. Does anyone else get this problem with noadhd?

Noadhd - suppose to stop a Sim from interrupting what he is doing to go and do something else - thank you, Charity, I have actually found a problem with a hammock on a community lot recently, and did not suspect this one at all! I thought there was a problem with the lot. (I played without that mod for years, I guess I can play without it again )

I use noadhd and don't have problems, but then again I rarlely have hammocks on any lots.

I don't use hammocks often unless on vacation, but I decided to let one family have one in their garden recently, so that's how I discovered the bug. May be a combination of hacks, but HCDU didn't pick anything up and removing noadhd fixed it, so I'll see how I do without it.

Sorry, totally missed this question. Lucky I was coming back to the thread for something else. ALfixes was the one taking away the love letters.

Updated to remove thefightclub from the no added features list as I found a comment from Pescado here http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/s...hp?topic=1308.0 that notes that it affects the queue stompage of 'watch fight'. Anything that stops queue stompage is good to me, but it is an unmentioned feature, so ...

Since last time on this thread I can state that macrotastics - macro clean - works really well. Lazy Sims do clean, doing all the "what me?", "Oh, not that". "deep sighs" while walking very slowly from one spot to the next.
Active Sims run, doing it as fast as they can (and not always properly).
I have, and it may be the first time, a Sim with full active and neat points. When she became a child, she immediately ran as fast as she could and made all the beds in the house. She then ran outside to mop up a rain puddle. Bubbles everywhere. Pumps fist if you tell her to clean the toilet. (I should have taught my kids to be like that ). She does not really need the mod, she starts cleaning all by herself
