Hi Lamare! I love so many of your mods, thank you very much. I just found the Sims 3 buyable CD, because I wanted my uni dorm sims to be able to play it, and idk if this is the intended behavior, but I installed it and it overwrote SSX 3. Is that what’s supposed to happen? Do you have any tips if I was wanting to still have both games? Thank you again :D

Hi! The Sims 3 is a separate game, it does not overwrite the SSX 3. I just tried buying it in a dorm, in case dorms were weird somehow. SSX 3 didn't go anywhere and its visuals weren't replaced either 🤷‍♀️ Are you sure you are using my mod and not someone else's, and are you sure the SSX 3 was there on dorm computer before you bought the Sims 3 (or maybe you got some kind of…

Hi! I am enjoying your fights can kill mod, but I fear my sims may be a bit TOO eager to fight…I saw your additional mod, but sims acting out of character for their personality is at this point a core part of my save, so I was wondering if you’d be willing to make the part that prevents repeated fights separate? Thank you, and no worries if you don’t want to!

Sure! Sims won't attack each other if they have a recent memory of losing or winning a fight with the same sim. They can still slap and poke 👉 Download Included in Act To Your Personality , use only one of them at a time

Hi! On your fight can kill mod you mention you have a mod that reduces fighting. Which mod is that? Thank you!

Hi, Yeah, sorry, I was going to post it sooner, but I usually don't love writing posts for my mods, I wish I could post a link and people just knew what the file did and what to do with it 🥺😛 Straight from my brain It's this beast that modifies about 60 social and self interactions is how I called it, and it was originally suggested by @daydreamingdrawerette (I think that was the name)…

Hi, just a heads-up, your Age Tooltip mod doesn’t work with CJ’s No Witch Name mod. Maybe obvious, but I forgot about that mod completely, and i didn’t see it mentioned in your post (unless I missed it, then please ignore me)

Thanks ✌

Hi, I have a question about mods for The Sims 2: why are they always tied to objects, unlike in The Sims 3 and 4, where they are interfaces?

Hi :) Well, not all mods, but I see what you mean. In Simantics, behavior is tied to objects, they run the show, that is how the game is designed, and that's the part of the game that attracts modders, when they want to change behavior of objects or sims. Modding is not limited to Simantics, though. Take lighting mods, or asi patches, for example. As to "why" - wait a sec I have a good one...

Hi Lamare 👋 Your age tooltips mod is super fun so far, it really helps bring the neighbour hoods to life when I can see all my sims are different ages and it’s been helping me break down their lifestages into tangible goals (20 year olds focusing on jobs, 30 year olds starting family’s etc) so that I don’t rush though gameplay. I did want to throw out a possible suggestion tho. Do you think it’d be possible to add a function to randomise townie’s ages? I’ve noticed they all default to the begining of the life stage so with how my lifespan is set up makes them all 18 (which I’m sure you can understand is not always the vibe when my playable sims are like 30+ 😅). I turned the townie tooltips off so no biggie if it’s not possible or something your interested in adding I just thought I’d throw the idea out there :)

Hi! Yeah, I turned off townie tooltips by default so that I can imagine they are any age it suits me and not be limited by their real age 😁 @teaaddictyt is working on a townie aging mod, there's an option to randomize their ages. Maybe be on a lookout for that :) @darknessmakeusfeelsosmall : Could this conflict with the NPC Aging mod? I really like it cause it makes my NPCs age eventually (even…

hey lamare, i cant test mods rn as i only have a dinky laptop with me but im just curious if your new age tooltips mod is compatible with nopke’s collage dependent adult age mods. I think it goes really well with your uni-aging mod but wasnt sure if the jump in age would mess with the tooltips, no worries if it doesnt i can always just use the sim manipulator, but yes thanks for the lovely mods as always <3 [also it might be worth making a lil note for people in the txt file that if they want to age their sims at midnight [process hour 0] they might want to offset their age span by a day [putting say 4 instead of 3 if they want their babies to age after 3 days] so they dont loose a day by the sim aging immediately as their birthday starts]

Hi! I think it could work well with any aging arrangement including college dependent adult age, but players might need to edit my file to fit the age jump. In AgeTooltips, there's a BCON for college ages - you can decide what students' tooltips say at any individual semester. Say, you have adults start at 20 years, and adults after college are 24 years old. You could set it like this in my mod:…

Testing Planting Overhaul Update

I did something, and I want to play with it some more to make sure I thought of everything. Join me, if you want! Let these new files replace files in your Planting Overhaul and Plantable Trees folders (pick only one fruit tree file for each tree type depending on which one you&rsquo;re currently using; if don&rsquo;t have or want some of the tree-plants, you can remove those) NO STRICT BADGE…

Sorry for the stupid question here, but what files should I use to get this to work? I have the Midge BO ageing mod in my game, but I’m a bit lost on how to get the age to display. The grave one works, but the age does not appear on my Sims. I tried using the amount of time to age up, but nothing appears; it’s just the Sims’ names.

Hi! First, you need an AgeTooltips package - any version you like. Then you should grab zzPatch_BO-SlowAgingMidge_AgeTooltips and make it load *after* AgeTooltips and BO-SlowAgingMidge files

Hi! Thank you for sharing your mods! I have a sugestion for your addon for gummis add on for simple laundry. You might know smonaff’s “Click on sim to change clothes.”. I thought, it would be cool, if a pile of laundry in a sims inventory is needed and used up, when changing clothes by clicking on sim. Anyway, have a lovely day and happy simming :)

Oh what a good idea - a check for laundry inside their inventory as well as in dressers. Yes I can do that, thank you for the idea teaaddictyt : Hey ya'll, As suggested by Anon, here's an update to my laundry addons for laundry addons mod! The mod will now check for a clean laundry pile inside the sim's inventory to use up before checking for the nearest dresser or wardrobe, as I figured it kind…

Sorry for the dumb question but since you just uploaded the “age tooltip mod”, could you also share your lifespan mod? 🥲(Great mod btw, thx for the hard work!)

Sure! Added age span mods to the download folder : AgesSims_ Specific _1,4,7,10,35,15-25_hour 22 or AgesSims_ Specific _1,4,7,10,35,15-25_hour 18 for normal hour I use maxis pets ages, so no pet mod. Also, I used to have 3 for toddlers (maxis), not sure if the balance is right with this one, but I really can't decide with ages To go with AgeTooltips_InYears_Specific AgesSims_ 1day1year…

Age Tooltips &amp; Epitaphs

Hi! This mod adds age info to your sims&rsquo; and pets&rsquo; names and cause of death to their gravestones. There are a few versions, get the &ldquo;inDaysTillNextAge&rdquo; if you don&rsquo;t feel like tweaking BCONs to match this mod to your age span When you hover over a sim, it will say - &ldquo;Edward Green, 10 days to adult&rdquo; for teens, or - &ldquo;Edward Gray, 85 days old&rdquo; for…

Sleep On Floor Enabled

A mini mod to go with today&rsquo;s Fight Can Kill update First of all, fraternity-exclusive Sleep On Floor interaction has been unlocked before by Cyjon and aliasthepal , check out their pages to see if their versions suit you better I enabled user directed action for sims with about half full energy bar (25) without any new conditions (other than not being in a pool or already asleep) Then for…

Also, I uploaded separate files instead of the zip 👉 Fight Can Kill got a few tweaks: New option to cut down death chances for kids and teens New traits support: hot headed and mean spirited increase…

Laundry Mod : Hey Lamare! Big fan of your work here! I’ve been playing around with Community Laundromats in my game and have noticed that doing Laundry on community lots does NOT get rid of the laundry at home! I know you’re working hard, hence this is only a suggestion. Thanks! - Bleaksimmer

Hey! You're thinking "magically get rid of laundry at home after sims came home from community lot"? Or something else? I remember when we discussed whether laundry on community lots should take clothes piles from inventory and require you to gather them at home first, we decided against it. Sort of fiddly and goes against the "simple" vibes :) But if you don't mind fiddly, you could have sims…

hi lamare, I was gone for a while but remember you working on an inaccessible dining booth mod. was this released at some point or is it still a WIP?

Hi! Funny, no one gave any feedback, which is either very good (no issues), or very bad (so unplayable no one wants to be the bearer of bad news) 😁 So it's still marinating as a WIP. There's a little issue with sims complaining when they dive under the table to eat a plate of food that was already on the table, but then eating it anyway. It won't be the worst thing if I leave it like that, but…

Hi! Your idea for the Nail Box is awesome! Maybe, if you’re still looking for new ideas… I have a really old manicure table by Katy_76 in my game. It doesn’t actually change the manicure like the Nail Box does, but it adds a proper manicure animation, just like at a salon. Maybe it would be possible to combine these two ideas, especially since your mod focuses on the business side of things? That would be really cool. Thanks for your mods, they’re awesome!

Hi! Thank you for the idea, I looked at it in game and, well, it's very 2000s :) I don't think I can improve the anims to modern standards, at this point in time [[MORE]]

Testing: Nail Box With Icons &amp; Business Actions

Hi! Who wants a test drive of the updated Ava Nails Box ? Originally made by @platinumaspiration using Ava&rsquo;s nails, updated by Puhlinnos and now getting two major features from me (EDIT: turns out Puhlinnos replaced most of the nails in this set, I may have to redo it with the originals 😅) Features: pick nails by icons in selection dialog window open a nail salon!
