Sullivan Randomness

I needed this for my own game, so here’s a mod that scraps the stupid 25-35 personality point limit that the game uses for born-in-game sims and completely re-calculates baby’s personality upon birth with the following logic:

Each personality trait is randomly inherited from either of the parents (if the pregnancy was started through alien abduction the other parent’s personality is randomized)

Then the personality trait is randomized again so that it can be anything between two lower or two higher than the corresponding trait of the parent that it was inherited from

There’s no longer a limit for how many personality points babies can have so their personality point count can be anything between 0-50, based on the personalities of their parents

This leads to much more variety than with the original system. Baby’s zodiac sign will no longer match to their personality, though, as it’s going to be whatever it was set to before this mod re-calculated the personality. Tbh I have no idea how I could change it to the right one but I don’t see this as a bad thing myself as it adds a random element to the attraction system.

This mod also modifies plantbabies personalities so that their personality traits are no longer exact clones of their parent’s, but instead can be anything between one lower or one higher than the corresponding trait of the parent. Their zodiac signs were already randomized so no changes with that. 

Download (SFS) - Midge’s Baby Last Name Chooser is incorporated, so if you already have it in your game make sure to remove it before adding this! This mod is compatible with both twojeff’s Triplets & Quads and kestrellyn’s Name the Father as long as my mod loads after them. As always, let me know if you find anything wonky.

Here are certain numbers you need to know - they are (from the graphic rules):    seti cpuLevelHigh           3000    seti cpuLevelMedium      2600    seti cpuLevelLow            2000 So when you are getting your CPU - you need to have at least 3 MHz. Now, Sims 2 was invented before dual cores, quad cores, and octo cores - so it doesn’t really know how to deal with them. What that means is that if you have an octo core with less than 2600 it will lag, regardless of the fact it actually has way more than 3000 in total. 1. Look for CPU where EACH core has more than 2600. (It can cope with dual cores kind of, so 2600 is enough). You’re better off with fewer cores, but you can control how the game works if you have more so it’s not a deal breaker. 2. RAM - always get as much as RAM as you can. RAM is what determines how much CC you can handle. 3. If you can get your Operating System and/or your game onto an SSD drive it will go like the clappers. An SSD drive is as fast as RAM when it comes to accessing hard drives. This is not so much from a processing point of view, as it is an accessing your game data point of view. Also if you can have your paging files on a separate drive to your O/S and game - that will make it go faster as well, because it won’t be trying to access two different parts of the drive at the same time. 4. Graphics cards - avoid NVidia if you can because there has been some lagging trouble with them and Windows 10. Radeon and Intel seem fine. NVidia can be OK, but needs to be tweaked to get it to work. The larger the graphics card memory, the less problem with pink flashy. When installing your game on Windows 10 - I have a forum over at Leefish with all the details on how to get it run, based on whether you have Ultimate Collection or the CD/DVDs. They are in these two threads:

I didn’t wanta talk about this for a few months, and was finding excuses like holidays not to say anything, but now that all the major holidays are over with [for now,] I think I’m gonna have to bring it up. 

Millions of hectares have burned, a dozen people have died, we’ve had our hottest day on record. More than four times the amount of land burned in California, nine times more than the Amazon. Flames taller than the Sydney Opera House.
