Do you use the testing versions?

No, I don't. And there are some services that just happen, like the uni mascot. I don't use services much either (you broke it? Repair it!), but here I wanted to make sure everything runs smoothly as I want to share that savegame.

Some more fiddling, some more testing. I found out that it's NOT a good idea to set the NPC services to recurrent. At least not those that are called for a single event. I noticed when the 5th repair sim showed up to fix the shower, which had already been fixed by the first one. And a university mas...

I'm sorry to bother again. While I can manage the homeless pool a little better thanks to your help, there are still some questions open. How do I find certain service sims? E.g. the pizza delivery sim, the service npc akrobat/singer/dancer, the service npc police officer... I would assume they are ...

I tested the "evicting" process strictly in live mode and it does seem to work reliably this way. Thanks for pointing out that detail! As they say, surprisingly things work well once you do them correctly.

Thank you all for your input, learning smething new everytime I come here!

Yes, this cheat can be used in the game. A sim created with it is always homeless, you can check this in the sim's household status with MC. IIRC, in CAW they also start out being homeless, but once you enter build/buy mode or edit town mode, the game can move them to a random residential lot, so a...

Instead of evicting them, you can create an active homeless household using the "makesim" cheat code, then add your premade sims to it by clicking on the randomly generated sim and selecting: MasterController > Household > Add Sim > (select up to 7 sims). The first sim can be TA'ed so that another ...

No, no, not 68 sims for Service/Roles alone. For all of those and the homeless pool, co-workers etc. When I checked there were about 80 NPC sims in town. That's why I would prefer to add those to the homeless pool. By evicting them. And then just assign those that are particular made over to fill a ...

Thanks for your reply, puzzleaddict! Will try the retired career for (4). Or maybe the Unemployed career as I can't seem to find the retired career. Which module contains it? And thanks for that link to igazor's SP settings, I will definitely have a look at it. Though even while reading through thos...

Hello you lovely people :) I have a bunch of questions which I couldn't solve by my own research on here or the rest of the internet. I'm setting up a savegame for a very particular world. Nothing new here. But I do have some troubles with the NPCs/role sims/all those sims the game is supposed to sp...

Heads up: Sims using e.g. a lowered mirror will sink into the floor and then often get stuck there. So, use cautiously
