:mrgreen: Thank you for all the info! *hugs*
Yup, don't get the static thing myself, I like running my sims with the max moodlets. ie. +75 Ambrosia,+75 Spa package, beautiful vista, having a blast etc etc.
My personal challenge is to see the happy points grow! My only 'cheat' if it is regarded as one, is to sort the Park with all the fun things, a decent bathroom, + the Actors Trailer or Sultan's Tabernacle. My sims start on an empty plot with the Trailer, a toilet, the Prof fridge and a subway! lol
They 'live' in the park until they can afford a decent house and car. I use a park with perfect produce they harvest, a pond with alleycat, angelfish + deathfish. They eat produce from their backpacks, never cook until their skills are high. Once they get the 1st charisma skill from the mirror in the bathroom, I take them to China, they get to talk to all the vendors, do the adventures, collect the relics + gems which they sell and it doesn't take long for them to get cash. First 'house' they get is a copy of Veranda Villa that I moo'd a hot tub onto the verandah, and a prof fridge.
I only use moo to place the hot tubs, and sometimes plants.
I have never left it on. I did not know it is a problem to leave bebug enabled. I won't do that anymore. I will turn it on now only when I enter a lot. Thank you.
They make a lot of money from doing architectural sketches, way more than for paintings. I haven't figured out a way to sell them other than take them 'home' put them on the wall and sell them in buy mode tho. Jamming in the subway brings substantial cash too. Celeb opps bring about 25K a week, and loads of cash from selling the 'gifts'. Never had a problem with celebs, they get it just from jamming, once they have it, they talk to everyone, the pap. leave them alone if they interact with them, and the perks are great. My old sims all have millions honestly earned + some have over 200,000 happy points with nothing to spend them on.
I don't play pets, didn't really want it, just got it because my husband gets me every EP + SP that comes out. Played the horse thing with my Lily Langtrey, as in r/l she did have some. I can identify with the way you play, imo cheats take the fun out of any game. I enjoy the challenge.
I have read your post several times. Hope I will eventually 'understand' it all. Also check O just for updates, update everything all the time. I have w7 64 bit and have been mystified as to where the 32 bit comes from? Have Eset a/virus, and keep everything updated all the time. All drivers etc. Have a therma something supercool case, loads of fans etc. My vid card was faulty, apparently. The factory replaced it, but I am staying with this one. The other is now 'banked'. The iT costs have been sickening as a techie has to come 100km to my home, and I don't have the expertise to do the things myself. My W7 experience rates my rig over 7 on everything so I think that the horse/unicorn prob is def an incompatibility with the new card and Pets. Only thing that makes sense, as all the other probs were sorted with adjusting the Anti Aliasing.
September is my hope on the horizon, with the ability to turn off pet spawning my problem should disappear.
I can't wait for the exchange to be repaired and to try out some of the worlds you have told me about! Thank you so very much.
I'm sorry that I have nothing of value to contribute about the ghosts as I have little experience with them.
