Merged Pleasantview and Strangetown

[meetme2theriver]

I made this for nepheris. It's a simple merge of Pleasantview and Strangetown, with Strangetown as a shopping district. There's no other 'hoods or subhoods, and no stealth hood sim bin families

This is a nice idea. It's less overwhleming than the merged megahood. Thanks for all the work you put into these. ^_^

[meetme2theriver]

Heheh, you're welcome. :) Yeah, it is a lot less overwhelming. I used one of these (I never shared it, though) for that story I was working on a year or so back.

Ooh, this looks great (I'm still afraid of the True Uberhood).

One question. Does this combo hood have replacement PT issues like the True Uber does?

[meetme2theriver]

It doesn't bite, honest!

Hrm, I don't quite know, I sorta forgot about that. >_> I did reset the sim creation index in this one as well, to fill in all those holes. So I guess it might still have problems overwriting the garbage DNA. It seems to be more a random game hiccup than a real glitch, though, since it doesn't happen to everyone and not consistently.

I might test it out later, and if you feel up to trying it out as well, please do. More test data = better.

*shifty eyes* Nah, I'm still too scared of the big dog full mega hood. But I can help you test out the puppy hood.

One dumb question (I think it's been asked before but I don't remember the answer).

Do combined hoods (including this lite version) have their own hood number or do they overwrite existing hoods (in particular, the maxis hoods)?

I have 10 or so hoods in my game (including two copies of strangetown--it's the only maxis hood I've cloned) so if I need to pull any out to try this, I just need to know. (lord forbid I actually retire a hood--I can't let go!).

Oh, this one uses Pleasantview as its base, so if you've got another N001 in there, you've got to take that out.

The full Uberhood uses Belladonna Cove/E001 as the base.

[nepheris]

Yay it's here it's here it's here! ^^

Yet again (and I think you're getting sick of hearing this :p) thank you for making this for me :) I have pretty much everything by Pescado as well, couldn't play without that man's hacks anymore.

[meetme2theriver]

You're welcome!

Yeah, Pescado's hacks are an absolute must, or I'd go insane trying to play this game. I have a wide selection of other mods and fixes too.

[dhearest]

Ooh, I did a similar one with your clean Strangetown and Veronaville! Having all the premade hoods was just too much for me. I will like this one too thank you for uploading it for everyone!

[meetme2theriver]

Cool. :) Maybe sometime later I'll do some more mini-merges like this, too. Yeah, the full uberhood is a bit much for me too sometimes. :P

And, you're welcome!

Speaking of testing Strangetown, there's something that's happened in the clean Strangetown. I'm not sure if it's something I did, but when I entered the Smith house, Jenny and Pete, even though they are seen as husband/wife, don't have any of the pie menu options usually available to married couples. They have some options that are available to Parent/child (Encourage, friendly hug) and they don't even have a 'Kiss' option, not even for family kiss.

I noticed it after I aged Jenny down a few days with the Simblender. That was when I thought to fulfill their want to kiss. I thought it may have been because of the change I made, so I quit without saving and went back in to see if that was the case. There was still no kiss option visible and there were the added parent/child options.

I went ahead and made her pregnant using Inteen, and then everything seemed to come good. The options for child/parent were gone, and all of the options available to married couples were there.

[meetme2theriver]

Hm. I don't see how that could have anything to do with the clean neighbourhood, though, especially not if it worked before you aged her down. I'm always a bit sceptical of using those aging options, really. Also, you probably know this, but InTeen is notorious for creating various problems in people's games. :)

Glad you got it fixed, anyway.

[meetme2theriver]

OK, I misread the part about quitting without saving (sorry, it's 7 in the morning). Still, this sounds more like a random glitch than a problem with the 'hood. If their relationship status was really that messed up, it couldn't be fixed by something as simple as making her pregnant.
