Hunter's H-Mail for Open for Business!

LOL, the robot is hysterical. And look at all the candles on the cakes at the bakery. Hmmm, almost looks like a birthday cake for me.

 

Geeze, this is huge!! There will be so much to do, so much to accomplish. I guess there won't be a need for me to use hacks to add days to my sim's lives and get them to age prematurely, because I'll be trying to get them to be rich business tycoons. I noticed lots of different walls and furniture. Something I'd like to ask a Maxoid, if given a chance: I noticed that our sims have "buying power" in that one screenshot. So, say we had one sim start making robots. Could we have another sim own an electronics store and buy the robots from their creator? That would be fun.

 

Looks fake to me. I point out the obvious nonexistence of this product, which makes these obviously faked screenshots.

 

This man is a god ... well he makes me laff, anyway

 

Yes, but Maxis people get to toy around and test the game before anyone else! I envy Maxis so!

 

I don't. That part is my least favorite. Updating everything every expansion pack is a right pain in the neck.

 

Still more fun than my job, which is writing about software other people have created ...

Ooh! I finally actually read this post. I can makeover Goopy? That might be worth the price of admission alone. I'm tired of the fashion challenged sims in my 'hood. I might even date some of them--OK, still wouldn't date Goopy--if they looked halfway decent. Still wouldn't date Kennedy Cox, cause he's such a meanie, but wouldn't he look sooo much better as a punker dude?

I was going to do makeovers on my own but realized I didn't want them all becoming PCs. Too much of a headache.

What I'd like to know is, are there businesses vampires can run? I love vamps, but the fact that they can't have career goals makes 'em occasionally boring to play ... unless they're romance sims.

But a vampire with a nightclub, now, that could be fun.

So, can I set my own hours if I own my own business? Can I even own a nightclub?

It occurs to me I should probably read that transcript Ruthie asked for ...

It's just that sheer volumes of text scare me off.

 

From the author of the longest sim-soap in World Sims, that's totally ironic SBW

 

I'm well aware! It's just that my sheer volumes of text are broken up by a lot of white space and parceled into small chunks of information. So, for me, that's easier.

Plus, they're fiction. I should have specified that non-fiction puts me to sleep. Honestly, I'm hopeless. If I get through a magazine article it's a miracle (or about Brad Pitt LOL ...)

 

Shucks. I was just kidding, honey.

 

Oh, I know. I'm not touchy. It's hard to convey that in text, I know. I was pretty much agreeing with you, kind of the pot calling the kettle and all ... I'm actually very hard to offend.

Just don't call me stupid.

 

SBW just in case you haven't read the transcript let me assure you that according to it Vamps can own nightclubs. Apparently you can own any business and go there when it's right for you. So they could have a nightclub or even a pottery barn that's only open at night.

Also I believe it said your sims can purchase the existing businesses so if your vamps want to buy that Crypto whatever night club they can.

Ruthie

 

Kina dated Goopy! Her relationship is still romantic with him, though I only make her call him on the phone every week so she doesn't lose him as a friend--River's job is very demanding in family friends.

 

Oh, that's right. I forgot.

And, thanks Ruthie ... that's what I wanted to know!

I wasn't going to buy it, but now I'm considering it ... I know, I'm weak.

 

If you have a business in your base hood will the downtownies (NL)/ dormies (Univ) visit your business or only the regular townies?

 

Last night at Wal-Mart they had a OFB poster up in their "Coming attractions" ad in electronics. I noticed that the girl on the box has a new hairstyle: a short flip with bangs. It's really cute, makes me more excited.

 

LOL Kat. How true. I really love the additional gameplay elements that EP's add to the game but, on the other hand, I soon get bored with the core feature of the EP. University life really is a drag ... maybe I am just too old. But I wouldn't be without any of UNI's features; and besides with Pescado's hacks 2 college freshmen can be boosted thru all 8 semesters in less than an hour's gameplay ... NL is great for romancing and socialising but I find it sad that a sim's adult life is so terribly short and they are reduced to a prolonged, painful looking senility that is neither attractive nor especially realistic (eg. sounding like an old fart at 53! ) ... this being the case I balance things out by giving most of my college students some R&R downtown ... cos the clock starts ticking after graduation tha noes

BTW (off-topic(ish) but while I'm on the subject) I am currently trying out an aging mod produced by the excellent TwoJeffs - it effectively adds the aspirational bonuses that produce longevity and 30+ year elder-spans and instead applies them to the adult phase. This means that when a teen or YA turns adult in platinum mood they get a lot longer adult life span -- up to 43 days. When they transit to elder they get a simple random 10-15 days left so they can still make it to 80+ but without spending the last 30 as incontinent insomniacs ... I am hoping that it will allow me to play some sims as career-minded sims who can still start families a little later in life without needing the dreaded elixir of life to wind back the clock.

'scuse me, gotta dash and tinkle, never slept a wink last night .... cough cough
