Hello, Midge. Do you know if the more extreme a Sim's preference is has any noticeable gameplay change? For example, would the behavior that a Sim with -5 attraction to males displays, and the behavior a Sim that has -10 to males displays be different from each other? I hope this makes sense. Thanks. :)

hi midge, i want to use monique's automatic payment mod but i have noticed that it deducts/pays funds twice. so someone who should get $50 gets $100. i have AL/M&G so i'm guessing it's not up-to-date - is there a way i can fix this myself?

hi midge, hope you’re doing well! i had a question about the function of custom turn ons/turn offs: would it even be possible to have TOs based on aspiration and personality (like being attracted to mean sims / sims with >= 4 nice points) without it conflicting too heavily with the chemistry systems already in place for those categories? i want to try some “opposites attract”-esque couples but i wasn’t sure if it’d even be possible given the game’s rules of similar personalities = higher chemistry.

hi midge! i'm returning to sims 2 after playing it for most of my childhood and found your mods and i wanted to say thank you! i could not play without your fixes. :) i did have one question - after coming from ts4 (and how easy it is to preview package files with sims 4 studio) i'd like to find a way to preview my old downloaded cc for sims 2 as well but i can't parse simpe at all. do you know of any guides for just previewing the 3d model in a package file?

Hi! It's the simler90 Dining Group Mod anon again. So after some googling on how to extract BCON 0x2004 from group 0x7FDFFE55 and editing the lines you told me (thank you btw) I have two questions that I wasn't able to find answers on by myself, hope you don't mind. I pressed the 'make labels' button (creating a TRCN file) so that I know which lines to edit again, is this fine to do? And would deleting the lines I won't use (0x0,0x3,0x6 & 0x7) be okay or does it need to stay there?

Jezz midge, I misplaced everything, I'm sorry! I mean that HDCU suggest a load order lol! I dunno why I was with SiMidge in mind. But anyway, I put sim manipulator in a folder, and then to load before all mods and now the add-on menu is working again! I changed a lot of mods recently and I think I forgot to mess the load order to work properly. I also had this problem with 'notownieregen', that was in my mods folder, but I having a lot of random townies clogging my hood. I think I solved! Tks!

Hello Midge! I'm looking into modifying the community Chef code so that they'll use fridges and food processor/counter surfaces to prepare food for restaurants, which is how the NPCs worked back in the Sims Hot Date. I don't mind them using the big chef stove to cook and serve the food, but at present they're pretty boring lol. I always liked how you could watch the Sims 1 chefs actually cook your food. Do you know where I should look for modding Chef NPC behavior? Is this even possible? Thanks!

Do you know where in simler90 Dining Group Mod I can edit the STR and LTR that is being checked. It just might help me see more of my unplayables actually hang out with friends instead of strangers all the time.
