Hello Rudhira! I have a quick question about the Contest Eyes upload. You mention that you didn't townify them because it would be a mess, what kind of a mess do you mean? I am super tempted to default/townify them (If it's already in the game but hidden, I feel it could be defaulted and put to use to reduce the amount of textures the game has to read) but I wasn't sure what mess the post referred to.

Hi! You can towniefy them just fine! I just didn't want to put people at risk of having a bunch of townies spawn with eyes that don't match anything else, so any potential mess would be purely cosmetic.

Hi, I am hoping you can help me, the Sun&Moon FAQ mentioned to ask you about mod questions. I am trying to use the laundry mod and can't get laundry to spawn. The FAQ mentions checking to see if we are using the Hampercheck version, how do we know if we have that version?

Uhhh 😅

The FAQ is a bit outdated and applies to a series of beta versions atm. I'm afraid I didn't update it before release so this is my fault. I'll update the FAQ asap. Though, fun fact, the version that got released is officially Hampercheck-Proxyguid. So you are indeed using a hampercheck version.

As for resolving laundry spawns, please ensure you downloaded all the required custom globals and the mod itself (filename: SunMoon-LaundryMod) as it's offered separately and ensure you have no conflicts. To scan for conflicts, use HCDU+.

What's the name of the animation? I want to try something and see if I get a different result. If you're using my conversion rigs, do you have the newest ones?

The animation’s name is a2a_danceClub_dance_medSkill_loop3_x. I didn’t know you have uploaded your conversion rigs! I made my own conversion rigs so there’s a high chance I messed something up.

I’ve never seen that animation before, that animation was used later in The Sims 3.

Yep it was used in TS3 Late Night!

I have no idea why it's doing that, but lol :'D

Yep, no idea! :P

Maybe the root_trans or the askel joints got rotated somehow?

Maybe? I have no idea what I’m doing to be honest.

I have no idea about animations, but it looks a bit as if her feet don't touch the ground when they should. Have you tried looking at the animation in milkshape in the orthogonal instead of perspective view?

It seems okay in milkshape. The animation in game VS in Blender/Milkshape is very different so I’m wondering if there’s a problem with the way it’s exported in SimPE. I export the animation using Sims2 AniMesh ANIM Exporter V1.0.1.

That's so weird, but also hilarious. I hope you are able to figure out why it's doing that soon.

Yes it is!

why does god allow suffering

A question I always ask and never got any answer...

I actually kind of love the clunky dance :'D like it's shame it didn't work out as supposed but I still think it's pretty damn cool to even get this far with it.

Yeah!! It was very funny to see the animation in action. Fortunately the upper part of the body works like a charm so there’s that!

Extremely cursed but awesome all the same.

Agree! The kind the cursed I like!

One of these things is not like the other lol. I'm going to guess clothing joint assignments mess with it. Hilarious regardless.

I think the clothing joints are included in the animation file. Maybe I shold remove it and see if it does something. Thank you for the suggestion!

Hello. I'm sorry to bother you, but I have been trying to use your Relationship Restricted Autonomous Kleptomaniac Mod and I am running into a glitch I can't fix. When I try to use it in my game, I am getting a “Too Many Iterations” error. It also appears to be limiting social interactions in the pie menu, removing quite a few of the options that were added by other mods or expansion packs. I was wondering if you might know of any mod conflicts that can cause this?

You’re not bothering me, don’t worry. Can you send me the error log? If you don’t know how to find it, instructions are here. I’m assuming you have all EPs, is that correct? I don’t know of any conflicts off hand, because there really shouldn’t be any, but obviously something isn’t right. Have you tried using other versions of the pickpocketing mod, and if so, how did that work out? The mod shouldn’t affect the game’s pie menu at all. Can you tell me, specifically what social options you noticed it removing? 

Has anyone else experienced similar issues?

Hello! I was wondering if you have advice on finding hidden unused outfits? I am working on a default for the CFbottomminiskirt but I can't find the hidden skirt that you have in your DR. I see that your default refers to two cord skirts and a similar default mentions a cordspink texture but SimPE doesn't seem to locate it.

Hi! Yes, of course!

So, first of all it kind of depends on how you view hidden outfits. A lot of hidden outfits are just career or NPC outfits and can be unhidden by simply changing the flags value. I assume you are familiar with that already.

Then, there are YF clones of Base Game outfits. They have their own property sets and 3D ID referencing files, but they lack the index resources needed for them to show up in catalog. They require special steps to show up, but what is notable is that defaults of those outfits will still affect Sims already wearing them, like premade Uni Sims.

For both of those types of hidden/unused outfits, you can extract and modify the property sets and 3D ID referencing files that you need.

For my cfbottomminiskirt replacement, I looked through [EP/SP] > TSData > Res > (Sims)3D > Sims07 and noticed that there was a texture that had no associated property set. This makes it more of an unused texture rather than an unused outfit. Since a lot of my defaults use in-game textures, it made sense for me to use that texture, since it wouldn't add anything extra to my file. If you look at my file, you'll notice that the cordspink resources have custom instances.

So, depending on what kind of defaults you make, you might not even need to worry about that. If you just want to make sure that no hidden outfits are slipping through the cracks and appearing on Sims, just replacing everything that has a property set is enough. If you make defaults using in-game textures, or you make Maxis add-ons, you might want to take a look at what textures are available in order to get the most bang for your byte.

Good morning! I was hoping to get your advice on how to make some stubborn hidden outfits to appear. I am working on a default of the YM_couture_clone and while the default works and shows up on my sims when randomly generated, I can’t get it to show up in the catalog for selection. I have unflagged it, townified one, changed the version and product in case it had to do with the pack and removed any conflicting CC found with HCDU+, but I am stumped at my next thing to try.

Hi! Did you do these steps as well?
