Tinkering away again at things. Most of Veronaville is done, but im bored out of my mind with editing the throwaway ancestors of the Capps and Montys, so I went back to Strangetown and finished up the Curious, Specter and Smith families, or so I thought. Test runs have shown that family trees of ghosts tend to get severed if they are stored in boxes or in family inventory, so I'll have to leave the tombstones in a sim's pocket afterall. Also noticed that placing the Curious family down in a new town, then placing the Specter and Smith families down in different town edits, the game automatically assigned Jenny as the sister to her brothers, and Ophelia as Johnny's girlfriend, it even remembered how many days the relationship had lasted. Seems there are hooks left in these uploads that look for a certain Sim ID, then re-attach if they are found. Rather neat! Less steps for a user to take to establish the neighbourhood as it was in Sims 2 :p
I took a lot of extra steps with Johnny Smith too; since hes the ingame tutorial on aging up for Sims 2, hes all set for that ingame; hes graduated from all his school clubs, has a prom photo of Ophelia and him together (forgot to check if this photo was saved, oops.) and has his driving skill maxed out with his own car, all ready for adult life. I should do the same for Ophelia, whos only a day younger than him.
Creating the full graveyard for Olive's garden was an arduous task, especially since several sims in there have corrupt outfit data and no personality or aspiration to adapt to traits. Had to wing it for all of them.
