One of my horses has the "unsaddle me" moodlet stuck. It's similar to the way the "hunted" moodlet works. What's the cheat I use to remove it? I thought you enable cheats and shift click the moodlet, but it didn't work, lol. :P

Then try resetting the horse with cheats on.

To delete a moodlet, you type testingcheatsenabled true, then Ctrl + Click the moodlet, not Shift + Click.

That would be why it didn't work!

I'll reset him if it doesn't work. :)

Okay, I read in here that IFs are allowed, but let's say that I give one the metamorphium potion. Afterward, could I use the IF-turned-Sim as a spouse, therefor having the next generation be an IF-Sim hybrid?

Although Metro allowed it, I would highly recommend you don't. Breeding Imaginary Friends seems to be the cause for a bug that causes Sims not to age.

Yep, that's fine.
Awesome, thanks!

Well, that's not too good. I'll certainly make a backup if I do.
Also, it seems that I randomly got 1200 Simoleons that appeared out of thin air; I was in the fire department to use the dresser there and the "+1,200" thing appeared. I'm not going to buy anything until I get word on this, but can I use familyfunds to get rid of it?

Yeah, these random little "gifts" do not concern me too much and should have little bearing in the big scheme of things as to whether or not you'll inevitably succeed. So, keeping it is fine.

I know glitch money is alright... But what about glitch cars? What do you do with those?

You see, I had sent some of my sims on a trip to china for the third gen to get started on martial arts. And while there, the cars (including the motive mobile) glitched out and became dummies in the inventory... So I had another sim go to pick up the car so I wouldn't lose it. When I came home, apparently their game looked at both inventories and went "Well, herpa-derp, there's definately a motive mobile in this inventory! And this one, too!" And so now I have two motive mobiles.

...Should I sell the excess and set family funds to what it was before selling the spare cars?

Sure. Good solution.

Greetz!

Longtime lurker (and Simmer), finally registered.

I've been playing this challenge for awhile now - my 4th generation is a child.  It has been a great opportunity for me to use some different game features that I had not yet explored, and I want to thank Metro for the creativity and care in creating it.

Technically, I'm not doing the challenge exactly as written, for a couple of reasons -

1) I'm playing a pure vanilla game - no XP, SP, or CC at all.  There are only 10 different skills available in the base game, and since several of the careers require proficiency in more than one skill, I need to also use the "skill careers" - but the base game does not allow Sims to register as self-employed.  My workaround for this is to use the income shown in the skill journal to verify that a self-employed Sim has met the requirements for maxing that career.  My plan is to do this with a gardener, angler, painter, and writer.

2) I use a mod to delete unused objects (spawned vehicles) from the stack to cure the base game's memory leak.  Otherwise, over time, the game consumes more and more memory and eventually starts to page fault, resulting in constant freezing (lag) that makes it unplayable.  Until I installed that mod - and I did so as a last resort, since I prefer a clean game - each new game I started would start freezing and lagging after a few Sim weeks.  It deletes 50-60 abandoned vehicles every day, which otherwise accumulate over time.

Other than that - I'm really enjoying this challenge as written.

Given that I'm playing with the above-stated caveats, I've been wondering whether it would make sense for me to start a thread about the Wrangler Immortal Dynasty...?  I have certainly enjoyed reading about the life and times of some of the other dynasties, and would be happy to share mine.

Thanks again for a very entertaining challenge (and forum).

Hi Sarabi, welcome to the forum. I have no issue with you starting a story if that's what you want to do. Given the forum stance on mods (for now at least) you would simply not mention the fact that you are modding your game in your story. Aside from that, go for it.

Thought I would share some exciting (at least to me it is) news...I am 17 sim days and a portrait, photo, and sculpture away from completing my second immortal dynasty!
