#BFBVFS

[uberhooded]

Ah, Ocean View Apartments... except converted to a residential lot because fuck apartments. The residents (Patel, Picaso, Burb, and Gavigan) are all one big "family", so it's like playing four households at once.

After I loaded in, I realized literally half of the adults were Family Sims and each one wanted a baby. Ana, of course, has been working on that already.

I know, deep in my heart, that my hood will become a BFBVFS from other issues long before I hit the character file limit, so time for a huuuge baby boom >:)

#sims 2 #household: oceanview #technically it's the Patel household but like. not really #I have mods for more than 8 Sims per family btw. which is no doubt helping the BFBVFS but oh well

THE MISSING SIMS FROM 1 and 4 (Custom Stealth Hood)

This has been a long time in the works. @profesionalpartyguest​ has probably stopped talking to me over it; @justwierzba​ has probably forgotten about it (and me); and @knut-rocketman​ has probably stopped caring about it, if they ever did.

This is a custom Stealth hood, with some townies, and a lot of ancestors, containing sims from The Sims, and The Sims 4. It also has lots for 7/9 families, including the families which you care about the most. For myself I call it Caldera Lessaules.

Continued below the cut: 

From Neighborhood 1 we have the Roomies (bless their sapphic souls). From Old Town we have Claire Charming, and the Hicks. We also have the Snooty Patooties, because they’re iconic and someone had a headcanon.

From The Sims 4 we introduce 3 families from my Willow Creek - Pancakes, BFFs, and Spencer-Kim-Lewis - including the all important Lydia Spencer (she’s a townie). Also say hi to the Sims 4 Roomies (the New Girl spoofs), the only original family in Oasis Springs (unless you count Johnny Zest, but he’s all tied up with the Landgraabs). We also have the Harris family from Eco Living Newcrest Harbour whatever that pack and town are called.

But don’t just think I’ve left you with families with nowhere to live, there's lots too!

The Pancakes, BFFs, SKLs, and Sims 4 Roomies have the strict recreations-within-limitations - without CC - you know and love from Willow Creek. The Cacti Casa is a new recreation for this hood, the others are cleaned exports from Willow Creek.

For the Sim Lane Roomies, say hello to my labour of love ✨inspired✨ recreation of 10 Sim Lane. It has Foundations! The floor and wall coverings are close calls to the original. Claire Charming and the Hicks have their houses also recreated with Foundations. I found all three Sims 1 recreations really fun to build, and I love how their energies have translated across, especially for the Hicks’ Trailer and 10 Sim Lane. There is also an additional variant of Claire’s House I made for personal reasons.

The Snooty Patooties and the Harris family’s houses haven't been recreated - the latter because I don’t actually own the EP, the former because I would have to base it off of Marka93’s as I have no clue how to get the Downloadable Sims into my Sims 1 game. Besides, they’re added extras, just slip them into your Main Hood, Viper Canyon, Downtown, Bin Lots, it's up to your imagination! Feel free to export the lots and plop them in your main hoods, or just delete the subhood, its fine, I guess…

I hope you enjoy this labour of hate and love. Its an essential ingredient in my own Uberhoods. I genuinely miss these sims - especially the Sims 1 ones - so much in my games otherwise.

Special Thanks :

This version of “Caldera Lessaules” is officially a testing version, however nothing core is expected to change. That said, make a backup before adding it to your game. I am not responsible if your savefile becomes a BFBVFS and you don't have a backup. I may decide to add or tweak things in the hood, like ancestors, additional townies, etc, or roll-out fixes if people find errors which I haven’t picked up, but please do not hold off downloading if this is something which you'd think you'd love!

The creators mentioned in the first paragraph made most of the ancestors between them. ProfesionalPartyGuest also made the Harrises. Without them my hood would be ancestorless, which depending on if you care about Character File Count, is a good or a bad thing.

Meet Nina Cucco.

Nina's the family matriarch, keeping a large chicken farm and a small army of children from going up in a BFBVFS. She's had chronically terrible luck with husbands, but she tries to keep a sunny disposition about it anyway.

Nina tries to hold onto her family loosely. She's not a strict parent- in fact, she might be a bit too permissive- but she does try to parent. Which is more than can be said for some of the parents in Wildwood...

She's interested in experiencing what the world's got to offer, more than anything- fishing, hiking, cooking, sewing, tinkering with wagon wheels, and playing games. Especially games. In another life, she'd have been a great Twitch streamer; in this one, she's the family champion at Don't Wake the Llama.

Well...I think my Pleasantview might be fucked. It didn't BFBVFS, but memories are a mess, several lots crash or freeze instantly. It's....fucked. I'm trying to see if I can unfuck it. If not, I don't know if I'll want to start fresh or try to rebuild something this big or what.

Rambling Rocketeer 4.21.23

So...I missed the SpaceX rocket launch yesterday. I'm kinda sad I didn't get to see it going Kerbal live!

Even if the rocket wasn't salvegable, my little gremlin brain was cackling when I got to watch the recording of it going COMPLETELY off course. GREAT AIRTIME...not so great structural integrity.

Tho...

Mayyyyybe that's a lie. I mean it did survive long enough to get some height before going BFBVFS!

Frankly, mistakes are a learning opportunity. You can't learn from a mistake if you're too afraid to try again! I bet the SpaceX team will work out something even better with time.

They can do it!

(But not Musk. He's just the one paying them.)

On a different note...I should get "Kerbal Space Program". I keep seeing people play it but never tried it myself. Might be fun?!

I need to prepare the Spring Hill Duplexes for upload, but instead I just got distracted trying to convert one of QBUILDERZ’s Tiki Trio lots into a functional beach lot. Because it’s been too long since I had a BFBVFS or something...

And then it exploded in a BFBVFS.

With grandpa Letholdus buried under it. Not that anyone in the family seemed to notice. Uh, Titiana ? Care to wake up and plead for your husband’s life ?

Borked?

Mortimer Goth is listed as unknown in SimPE. Also strays that have been generated recently (as I didn’t have enough cats) are all “adult human males”. Hmm. :/

Any advice?

ETA: also new townies and some playables have relationships with the remote car and all the other NPCs. Those townies were generated when I added a vacation subhood.

Sooooo I tried to move the Sinclaire’s to Bridgeport and somehow ended up breaking,,,, everything. That save has turned into a  BFBVFS. It might be fixable from one of the backups but my god I don’t even want to think about touching it right now I’m so DONE.

TS2 Fix/Mod - "Banned Food" Fix for Food Judging Tables

Made By fway

Basically, EAxis made a giant oversight when it came to custom drinks. The only GUID the BHAV "banned" was the fruit juice drink, which doesn't even have a group meal. I found out that EAxis had made a mistake when it came to the "original" GUID. Before this fix was made custom drinks were showing up in the "Make Food For Contest" menu under "*Menu - Food - Insert Name Here", it wasn't a giant problem before users realized that once a Playable or NPC placed a custom drink onto a food judging table, jump bugs (or errors for those of us who play in debug mode) would occur and wouldn't stop. The only solution at the time was to take out the custom drinks and play without them, or not enter contests at all. This fix takes all of those problems away by adding the correct GUID to the "Banned Foods" sub. From my testing it appears that no sim has entered a custom drink into a contest. While playing an AnyGameStarter version with FanseeLamb's non-default drinks installed along with my mod, sims with no cooking skills whatsoever entered either gelatin or sandwiches. Which is safe to say that the mod is working correctly because they probably would have entered one of fansee's custom drinks and cause BFBVFS (well not really).

The Sims 2 - Avoiding Corruption

Everyone knows that the Sims 2 is very prone to corruption, and it can happen in a myriad of ways, some of which aren’t necessarily obvious. That we shouldn’t delete Sims or move occupied lots to the bin is well-known; but what about the more insidious, lesser-known sources of corruption, such as deleting cc that generates Sims, even invisible ones, as is the case of the functional surfboard mod, or Claira the Clairvoyant? Other examples include: deleting custom foods, or multi-PT packs, or binning empty lots that have been lived on without cleaning them first.

Since I admit I wasn’t fully up-to-date on all the various ways the game can explode into a BFBVFS (Big Fiery Ball Visible From Space), I found this article quite informative. I know that others struggle with game corruption too, so maybe this will help someone else as well, if they haven’t seen it before (or need a reminder.)

Off topic, but since a lot of you guys played Sims 2: do you have any corruption stories? I always heard about how breathing near the game causes a BFBVFS so I’m curious lmao

#not related to the Talberts

[anachronisims]

my potential culprits:

A list for my own edification, not pointing fingers or saying don’t use these things - just trying to identify the ways in which I’ve made the game behave not as intended most egregiously.

- Adding a multi-PT hack + multi-ideal plantsim hacks mid-game.  It is clear from my backups that, if nothing else, this is what created 12 unknown sim files in the neighborhood package (8 PT and 4 IP) and several unknown relationship ties.  I don’t know for sure that I had already installed a multi-PT mod at the beginning of Meraki, but if I did, I certainly didn’t keep any piece of it around, and that’s apparently a Very Bad Thing to Do, even if you haven’t had any abductions.  In the process of actually recreating fresh Meraki, I’m coming to suspect this less.  The empty unknown sims spawn in the neighborhood package as soon as a lot is placed in a neighborhood that has access to a downloads folder that contains multi-PT/multi-IP hacks, as far as I can tell.  If I had a previous one, then, it would stand to reason that I would have had some preexisting mystery unknowns, but I don’t.  So.  That’s weird.  

- Using CH’s updated Community Time mod without testingcheats on.  Crammyboy’s original version required testingcheats but CH’s didn’t mention it, so I’d turned it off. Next time around I’ll have it on in userstartup, just to be safe and also get better logs of what’s going wrong.

- Using CH’s updated Community Time mod + Walk to Lot instead of Taxi,  Again, on Cboy’s original, this wouldn’t work at all, and CH’s update was supposed to be a fix for this.  It seems to have been working seamlessly and I really appreciate not having to use telephones/see the taxi, but who knows.  In an abundance of caution, back to the taxis.

- Using CH’s updated Community Time mod + sending preggos to community lots without also using CH’s pregnancy controller.  CH says this is safe to do, that the pregnancy will just be paused, unlike with Cboy’s version, where it was allegedly very dangerous to do. It hurts to lose this newfound boon, but, abundance of caution... it must be so.  Preggos will have to stay home on their rotations in New Meraki.

- Pikiwi’s Mood Swing + Mid Life Crisis mod, specifically, the Mid Life Crisis portion.  At one point I removed it because it seemed like it was happening way too frequently, but that was Bad so I immediately rolled back, then modified the package so the odds would be a lot lower (basically nil).  Nonetheless, by the time of the BFBVFS, half the adults in Meraki had a LTW to grow up but I could not find any record of at least some of them actually starting a midlife crisis.  It’s not worth it to me to keep in the pregnancy mood swings, just in case there is something else wrong with the way midlife crises are programmed even if I have the odds zeroed out.  In recent gameplay in the past week, several Sims have started getting thought bubbles of the midlife crisis symbol - again, regardless of whether I had a record of them starting a midlife crisis.  Meanwhile, I had never seen the symbol before even though there were legitimate midlife crises going since late December.

- Fucking around too much with graphics?  Possibly?  Insofar as texture-related crashes occurred mid-save during lot transitions, this might have created some snowballing crashing problems.  New Meraki is starting with some lower settings than Meraki Classic, so this ought to be mitigated from the start.

- Screwing up tuning attempts on Sun&Moon food sources.  I don’t want to talk about it.  All I know is the number of food points that showed up in the fridge when a deer carcass stocked post-tuning was exactly the same as before.  Going to redownload fresh copies of all the shit I touched, just to be safe.

Lemon Posset - A Corner Lot with Working Side Garage

Took me long enough to prepare this upload! Lemon Posset is a two-story 4 bed, 4.5 bath New England style colonial that balances a historic-inspired exterior with modern amenities. Forgive the long post, but I need to share some details for how this lot functions. 

Download: SFS | MTS

This may be my first residential lot in a decade, but the highlight of the build is the fully functional side garage, made possible by Mootilda’s LotAdjuster and Rotatable Driveways and HugeLunatic’s Rotatable Garage Doors. I was sooo happy when this worked in testing and I didn’t get a BFBVFS. Owned vehicles will use the vertical road. Carpools and service vehicles will use the horizontal road, as usual. 

There is light CC included in the file, which is outlined below. The files linked above are NOT included but are super duper recommended for this lot to function properly. Also, I hope you have the Invisible Driveway. 

CC Included (Exterior wall) Sims1 SS Movie 1 by simthing (Exterior wall) Grey Brick2 by PiaNouka - originally from a TS2 Exchange house OFB Story Fence in Whitest Clean by Ailias Colonial Privacy Window by Leefish MaxiGlass French Doors 3t2 by Shastakiss Stair Wall Fix by JRW Missink Point Mystery Topiary by MaxoidMonkey Flambeaux Wall Lamp from 3t2 Old Town: Starter Kit by Shastakiss Rugs of energy by MA Designs (from Asian Fusion Set) by Shastakiss CC Shown But Not Included Ford Mustang 1965 by Virtual Jack.  Tofunda Kombii 3t2 by Gingers Sims.  Roof Trim Defaults (Gray with white trim shown) by Phaenoah. 

I think that’s it? Please let me know any issues with the lot. Enjoy!
