Retriving Wayward Tombstones/Urns?
Just thought I would ask if there is a way to "retrive" a tombstone/urn that was accidently left behind when the sole surving occupant was moved out via a suprise purposal & marriage, without having to have someone move back into said house? (Was hoping for a cheat or something quicker! )

I've done that same thing; haven't yet found a way to get that tombstone moved to a cemetery.

I suspect you'll have to create a Sim, cheat him enough money to move in (familyfunds), move the tombstone, then drop a satellite on him.

To be honest, I've never actually used the "familyfunds" cheat. I've always relied on kaching, motherlode & the Budget Adjuster section of InSIM, all of which (obviously) require the Sim(s) in question to be already on a lot. Do I need to "select" the binned Sim/Family before I enter the "familyfunds" cheat, or do I just enter the surname with the cheat?

Three forms:
set funds to amount: familyfunds lastname amount add funds: familyfunds lastname +amount lose funds: familyfunds lastname -amount |

Can't you just move him back out to the sim bin and delete him? And what's the likelihood of death by satellite in reality? Personally I prefer to have them shoot themselves or take some poison or something more realistic like that. I believe I saw a suicide knife hack somewhere too but I didn't download it as it allows for autonomous suicide if motives and aspirations are low enough. MikeD |

Er...after looking at some of the "mods" out there, I take that back. It seems an awfull lot of people are obsessed with inflicting "reality" into their games. Personally, I was never overjoyed/obssesed with things like rampant Teenage trysting, menstraul cycles & incest (etc) in RL so I see no need for that kind of "reality" in what I consider to be a thing I do for fun! To each their own...

Well, I do have two cousins who are currently engaged in Uni who will get married when they move home... but that was my choice as a one time thing, not something I want happening all the time.
Of course, when Legacy Generation 4 shows up, it can, lol! |

Legacy 'hoods are where you start with one Sim (I've found that Uni students are best; they can always marry a professor or a dormie if you can't find anyone more suitable), get married, have kids, grow them up to YA-hood, send them through Uni... then one of them inherits the house and repeats the process while the parents become elders and die of happy old age and get plat tombstones.
I believe that, technically, you're supposed to name each generation with the same letter of the alphabet (first generation A, second B, third C, etc.) and also marry them to a Townie or NPC whose name also starts with that letter. I'm not doing the second part of that because I'd rather have attraction lightning bolts than a name that starts with a certain letter. The first "D" is about to be born in my latest attempt at this! I think you can also "keep score," but I'm also not bothering with that. I'm currently also playing the "cadet lines" just in case something happens to the main line. |

Hmm
Yes college would probably be best, otherwise your sim would have some serious problems for lack of a social life. That would be a good reason not to use the delete all sims with nodormieregen hack. I can see how twojeffs visitor controller could be very useful in that kind of game. What happens if your sim has a baby with the mascot, does the baby turn out normal or does it come with a cow head? What's a "cadet line" ? MikeD |

I should also point out that I'm a huge fan of InTEEN (which allows actual College/YA famlies- the main reason I got it) & can't say that I haven't planned out the occasional "Teenage Oopsie"...but like you said it was a planned thing, not something a Sim did on their own! (I'm something of a controll freak regarding Sims & there actions in my game! ) Actually, InTEEN does have "risky woohoo" options (pregnancy can happen without actively trying for a baby, unless you install the No Fail Birth Controll pack) but there again, whether or not you use them is left up to you.

Of coarse, I'm not using it with ACR. I would probebly go nuts if I had that & InTEEN! I just enjoy the options for College pregnancy & the ability to raise children (they even go to school! ) on Residential Lots in College Towns. (I keep hoping for a "stand alone" mod that just enables the YA stuff, but so far there just isn't one. ) Yikes, don't get me wrong about my "incest" wants! Cousin/Cousin I can see but the rest of it makes my skin crawl! Yuck!
