Rent is due every Monday in game. Make it every 4 Monday. I really don't see how hard this is to calculate. The only hard part for me, is figuring out how to make the mod.

The problem is that the length of a "month" varies depending on how each player chooses to define the passage of time in their game. In your game, you apparently define a month as four weeks (28 days). An entire year in an unmodded vanilla game is only 20 days. A month, a week and a season are pretty much the same thing, so paying the rent every Monday is paying it "once a month." Some players define one in-game day as corresponding to a whole RL year, which I guess means they're paying their rent once every 7 years?

I guess the thing to do would be to make a mod that allows each player to define how often they want the rent to be paid in their specific game.

I'm afraid I have no interest in making that Rosebine. My Sims move frequently, paying for so long at once would mean paying for time they won't live there, and that's just mean. My sims have it hard enough money-wise. I often let them move during weekends, to get the most out of the rent they did pay.

It wouldn't be hard to make though. Either use a token to keep track, or use an on-lot object. I haven't figured out tokens yet, but I could give you advice on the on-lot approach.

Same as gummilutt on non-weekly rent. Sorry...

To stay on topic, I recently found Sims 2 Sliders sort-of-database. I think it's a cool idea to have all sliders grouped in one place.

HugeLunatic made a default replacement for gravestones, which changes them into tiny little objects which can easily be hidden under a decorative gravestone, statue, shrub, vase of flowers or whatever else you would like to mark a grave with! :-) Replacements for the standard sim grave and the BG platinum aspiration graves can be found here.

Oh it's ok Gummi, thank you though. You and Rox made too much sense...I'll keep it just as it is.

Oh wow..I wish i knew how this works. lol
Do you just download the one you like, put it in your Downloads folder and..then select it from 'Hood deco??
Do you need some other mod/hack for these to work?

I think that they can be used without the Skyfix or Lowedeus' mod, but they'd probably look better with it. They are hood deco, and in the build section.

In order to keep everything straight in the downloads folder, make a new folder (name it appropriately) and put everything to do with skies in it. That way you'll be able to figure out what you have/need to use.

You usually put them in the corner of the map Rose - not sure if those do that but that's how many of the others work.

I got them, and another recommended mod that puts a red "pointer" on every object box - it will show on ALL of them --really helpful! In the case of the sky & horizon mods, you put them on a CORNER with the pointer facing OUTWARD

That's lowedeus' replacement for the neighborhood effects placement cube. I agree that effects are much easier to place with this mod. It's available here:

Found this at TSR Sims Magic Town Build Set, although it looks mostly, if not all, recolors of sims 2 items. (:

I found a ye olde mansion that is neither too big, nor too small, not boring to look at and is easy to play:
http://modthesims.info/download.php?t=458709

So far I am using the room near the kitchen as servants quarter for the all in one NPC from christianlove. Still needs some tweaking before it runs smoothly, but at least the house is roomy but not gigantic.

I downloaded her other similar houses from simfans.uk, but haven't played them yet.

That's certainly been nicely built and looks good.

I confess, I have no mansions in my game. I really just don't like playing lots like that. The biggest houses I have are both my own builds and one of them is pure hood deco - sitting in Little Carping's posh area.

One of the most interesting large manor type lots I've seen had secret passages which I thought was a nice touch.

I can't stand huge mansions either. They are a pain in the butt to play and you can never find your sims. But this one just works. For a while I played Plasticbox houses, but they are just too small, however, I vastly prefer small houses with good floorplans.

@ihate Thank you!

The big problem for me is that the largest mansions will without a doubt, crash my game harder than a rock. I'll download the one referenced above, and try it out..but I'm not holding out hope that it will be playable.

Edit: I did load it up..and it crashed my game hard to desktop. So much for playing large mansions..

That's not to say that place isn't pretty-god no! I love the landscaping and the house-utterly beautiful...thank you for the link!

Chris Hatch posted some updates for his two expansion packs to make them workable with UC. He also posted a fix for people with UC who are struggling with stupid simpe. That would be me. Still haven't gotten it open. don't have time today but will be downloading and praying over it tomorrow. Wish me luck.

i didn't post the link because it's Hatch's stuff. But if you can't find it, let me know and I'll either p.m. it or take the chance and post it here.

I am not sure if this is the post that Smorbie1 is referring to or not. It was created for his TA & TN games, plus Fun with Pets. Maybe it helps the program find the other UC games, too.

@SIMelissa - I'm sure you know this but many times we don't allow links to Chris's site because it's an adult site. However, I'm leaving your link and post up there because it leads to a thread with a fix for SimPE (which hopefully will help UC users (smorbie) and you can't see it unless you're logged into the site. There's very little adult material on the page. However, I just wanted to put this post up as a reminder to everyone to take care when linking to sites like BAS - normally it's not allowed because of the site content and I (and others) will delete posts.

Thanks for the heads up. I didn't know that it was not allowed -- especially since I found his site through a thread here on MTS. But now that you mention it, that discussion was about all the family friendly mods he makes. I'll be more careful in the future.
