I mentioned one: Total Commander. It's like a Swiss army knife with multiple functions (and frozen in time).

Sounds like you should back up your game, and give it a try!

I actually did that tonight. :D

The lot adjuster is an awesome tool, not gonna lie. I basically did as I said above, but simply "picked up and plopped back" in the same place for most lots, with the exception of one or two where I had to move them to allow re-placement or manual levelling with the terrain tool.

I swear to god, I love how much control this game gives you over the world (within its own engine limitations ofc).

Either way, it all looks flatter now, a before and after is below! I'm happy with how it came out! (After is the one where the park doesn't have the green! Yes, I finally got that fixed too now!)

But you didn't provide a link to it.

Ah, no links. Well, as a nerd and linux user, I'm going to put a shout out to rmlint[1] and midnight commander[2] for linux users.

(Yes, this info is basically useless to everyone here, as you're all windows users. )

Some of us might go Linux eventually (I've been considering it for years), so the info would come in handy then.

If I dormify all the members residing in a Greek House (for example, Sarah Love and her cohort), will that cause bugginess in the game? Or will the Greek House just be considered disbanded/dissolved and essentially disappear?

I guess you could try it first in a test neighborhood. But I'm just curious why you'd want to dormify the entire house? If you don't want to play them, why not just ignore them?

Thanks sturlington! I haven't created any dormies yet, so it's simply a way of having more genetically unique looking dormies (rather than game generated ones), who will have more involvement with the families that I do play - instead of being sidelined. Who knows, they might end up as playables again if they develop relationships with members of my active families? It also means I can redesign and develop the lots previously inhabited by the Maxis playables. Initially at least, I'd rather use existing lots on campus, preserving the look of the school.

Can someone explain to me in simple terms how to copy my families safely into a new neighbourhood? I don't mind losing the data of them, that is, only copying their looks and recreating the family links, but I still don't know how to do this.

Ahh, I see. Well, I have moved them all out of the Greek house and into a dorm before as a group, and that didn't cause any problems. The Greek house was just disbanded. If you're nervous, you could do that and then turn them into dormies from the dorm instead. I think that does sell all the furnishings in the Greek house, though, although I can't quite remember, but you could use the stay things shrub if you wanted to keep them.

Residences on campus aren't emptied on move-out. You move someone in seven semesters later and the grad party debris is still there.

Yes, Peni, you're right. I just tested it--not on a sorority but on Delilah O'Feefe, because ALT is the uni in my current hood, using Move Students from neighborhood view, and all of her furnishings remained in her rental house.

Living in a university town IRL... this seems like one of the more realistic aspects of UNI in TS2

Links these days are often not safe to write. The post may end up in a spam box. The modern user might feel safer if he gets the link vetted by Alphabet Corp., and also get a feeling that he's made a personal choice to get this product over similar ones.

I guess the better safe than sorry option then, is to move the Greek House members out properly and then dormify them once they're in the family bin. It's really helpful to know that their dirty plates will be left behind, so that any Neatness 9 + sims who move in can have fun scrubbing times to look forward to - thanks Peni!

How about this?

Can dormies be inducted into a Greek House?



I don't understand this at all. People often post links here to content. What is Alphabet Corp?

To induct a dormie into a Greek, a member befriends the dormie, asks them to pledge, then invites them over until a certain number of hours have passed with the dormie in the House. During this pledge period, the dormie can be influenced by any member to do anything influenceable for 0 influence points. Some influence options may be suitable for hazing (streaking, flirting, pranking), but I believe in practice most people use these influence points either for academic cheating or work around the House.

When the hour requirement is fulfilled, members gain the "propose/move in" interaction, and the dormie moves in and is playable. It doesn't have to be the same sim who asked the dormie to pledge, and the member who proposes does not have to be friends with the dormie. In fact, if the pledge sponsor moves out and the player forgets the dormie was asked to pledge and is merely greeted as a walkby a few times, so that the hour requirement is fullfilled, the dormie can move in many semesters after the pledge request was accepted.

How to you rotate camera angle without a mouse? I play on laptop and my Usb-mouse is broken and the laptop mouse can not rotate angle. Some key rotated it but it was bit far more because it gave me a full bird perspective over sims heads.

This is suprisingly hard. For example: there is different angles in community lots. In one of them, I could not look faces when I was seeking a potential spouse for my sim. Also, taking pictures is hard and so is clicking tiny objects like homeworks or coffee mugs.

Ugh, yes, that is hard. I don't think there's keystrokes to do it outside of tab mode, and in tab mode you need to memorize key strokes, which of course are different on different language keyboards. And I don't know of any keystrokes that let you select objects. Sometimes you just run up against the physical limitations of the tech and there's nothing you can do.

For the pictures, at least, try using the arrow keys to line things up and C will take the picture.

The keystroke guide here on MTS: https://modthesims.info/wiki.php?ti...board_Shortcuts .

Actually, they are not different in all languages. My keyboard and my game are not in English but I can use English tutorials. C took picture and Q makes game to ask I am sure I want to quit.

Rotating the camera uses the same keys as rotating items - on my keyboard, it's , and . - which is easy to remember because these keys also display < > - while the alphabet letters are typically the same, symbols and punctuation are sometimes different and this can be tricky to find. For example, [ and ] for raising and lowering items - if I switch my keyboard into German, those exact same keys make the characters ü +, and I have no idea where the square brackets are located.

Yes, I know this. You can rotate camera like that with keys in screen corner also. But I am seeking how to change angle of point of view. What to do if your game like something like this.

Alphabet is what Google changed their name to a while back, but I have no idea what jonasn is talking about. There's no "spambox" on MTS and posts don't get moderated just because they have links in them.
