Very Interesting. I wonder how long ago that was since you haven't been an active moderator for some time now.

I'd think 2012, judging from the file name. Unless it means something else.

I wonder if Jeremy got an A on the paper. I want to be a chat CSR that only needs to copy+paste KB articles all day while lollygagging without any incident ownership/responsibility and lax metrics... then I'd obtain mystical guru status while eating cheetos and getting paid ca$h.

More to the point than MY post; and their comments about MATTY were interesting. Funny to see their study of MTS, when anyone could have told them even more info, written up like a Study.

Stand up, speak out. Just not to me..

Bragging rights!

I actually found this recently when I was googling for an article I wrote. It makes posting on the forums sound like a big ego struggle!

Did you manage to work out who 'Giggles' and 'QHouse' are? Not sure why they didn't change my name!

I thought by Qhouse they may have meant QBUILDERZ, but giggles I have no idea. If they were so low on the rung maybe they slipped right off. They do make the forums sound rather like an ego trip though.

Me too. I love how the sims community is very open and quick to help and this site is one of the best for that. (Though, to be fair, from the amount of faqs and game guides out there, other games are like that too. Especially the rpgs I've played.)

I do have a find, too--file it under 'How did I miss this?': Garden of Shadows Christmas in July 2017 Gift Sharing Thread. I can't believe I forgot to check back! Loads of goodies, especially for maxis match players.


Fun fact, auto correct wants to turn faqs into days and rpgs into dogs.

Giggles is TeeHeeShe - I wonder if she knows.

SimSample - it's because no-one can think of anything else to call you. Not sure what that means.

I no longer come over to MTS very often but if you would like to ask me a question then you can find me on tumblr or my own site tflc. TFLC has an archive of all my CC downloads.

Is that good or bad? Maybe they thought I should be 'outed'!

How odd that someone should pick that thread to write a paper about- whatever would they make of the Sims 4 forums I wonder?

I could not get through the entire paper. Academic writing is at the very bottom of my "Things I like to read list." If I was a professor and had to read that drivel day in and day out, I'd probably take a fork to my eyes.

Interesting thing about the author. He is (or was) studying educational psychology. Perhaps one day soon, he'll be in a classroom or an office teaching or counseling the children of tomorrow. Now, isn't that a scary thought!?

So many things to learn; so few brain cells to process the info needed to learn things!

Awesome! Thanks PenelopeT. I don't want to make rent cheaper, but I've long wanted to make rent not reduce weekly, and that should help pinpoint the code I should look at

@gummilutt, actual rent you owe each week depends on relationship with landlord and also may change due to reputation. Otherwise it does not change, as far as I can tell. And I know a bit about rent, cause it's a part of my big project I've been working on for months now.

I was foraging around the WaybackMachine for SimPE stuff and found some .pdf's and forum-style tutorials authored by Xanathon, TazzMann, Deedee, and Carrigon. Google was Not my friend for those.

Well, in my game it does change. And it's definitely not due to relationship with landlord or any other rent-decreasing thing. Each week the rent is lower than it was originally. I do have apthack so that may have something to do with it, I suppose.

Could it be object deprecation?

ihatemandatoryregister, to reflect object deprecation the rent price would need to be recalculated, and it doesn't normally happen (you can force it though, and that's what I do with my rent-changing mod).
But if gummilutt says the rent changes, there's some reason to it, I guess.

#945 Old 22nd Sep 2017 at 5:31 PM
It is possible that I get discounts I'm not aware of, but it seems unlikely that it'd happen in every single household. I write down rents so I know how much money my Sims need to bring in, and without fail next week both bills and rent have dropped considerably. But hey, if you are working on it then no need for me to, right now. I'll just wait for you to finish whatever it is you are working on and see if it might work for my needs too

Any chances you guys could figure out how to make it monthly instead of weekly? I never paid rent every week in all the years I've been living in apartment...
(This so not belong in this thread, I'm aware, but since 2 modders interested in rent are having a discussion...)

Thing is, how long is a Sim month? 4 weeks? 30 days?

So, how do you know you're addicted to CC? Well, when your brain goes 'What the heck are you going to do with a swan boat?' and the simmer in you goes 'I don't know and I don't care.' Then you hit the download button. And then you're practically giddy when you realize there's more amusement park themed stuff to download: http://sadepaivas.tumblr.com/downloads. :lovestruc
