2 quick questions

Post by ashmo » December 17th, 2021, 1:24 pm

First, I've read everything I could about adding Sims to community lots and I was just wondering if anybody has ever tried to add horses to a community lot? Does that work the same way as Sims, like the game just sees them as a Sim horse right?
I use the rabbit hole rug for the equestrian center and I just use a large lot zoned as a horse ranch and put everything on one. I also use the horse boarding mod from MTS so the horses will have somewhere to rest and stuff. I wanted to add some horses to the lot using the add sim option for my Sims to ride so they don't have to buy them or worry about boarding fees. Is there any reason to believe this won't work?

Second, I like testing things out and I accidentally tested out the make invisible feature on debug enabler for the simfast stage in St Claire. The park still holds sim fest but because it's invisible I can't click it, is there a way to make things visible again after doing this? Also if I use this option on parking spaces will that make the little front bumper curb disappear but still make the spot usable for my Sims?

Thanks for any help offered.

Yeah, hold your horses there (pun intended). You're doing what, now? :)

MC > Add Sim on a community lot creates a household on said lot, if there isn't one already, and adds to the existing household if there is one the same as with residential lots. So by using Add Sim on a community lot where there are no sims currently living, you are creating a household of one horse. Is this really what you had in mind? The mods can soften some of the impact of households where there are no humans, but I think your horse(s) are going to have a pretty difficult time managing a few mundane things like shopping, paying bills (SP Money), and feeding themselves if there are no humans or at least some very clever dogs and cats around to assist. It's an interesting idea in theory, though. At least they won't have to go to or send their kids to school. (will they?)

I'll have to defer to others on the invisibility questions.

If you want invisible parking space bumpers, HugeLunatic has a mod here: https://modthesims.info/d/435342/invisi ... space.html

I have used it for years. It works great! You have to replace any existing parking spaces after you install the mod to make them invisible during game play.

You bring up some very good points igazor. I totally spaced on all those household related things. But I'm determined to push this as far as I can.
thanks for your help I am now off to create a horse lover and 2 horse household that I will try and smack on the horse ranch community lot. I really don't want to buy a horse. Lol
Also thanks radical chick for the suggestion. I know it exist but I've been trying to avoid getting new mods if one of the many i have can do the same. Though I will cave eventually I'm sure.
