Thanks for your answer


Ok, I think I know what it could be, let's see if I'm right and in the next update it appears correctly. ^^

@papuschica One question, do you have more than one Service Area at the same time? If this were the case, both neighborhood ids could be overwriting each other. It is not recommended to have neighborhoods with the same id and uid. I ask this to rule out that possibility. xD

@Sokisims,
no, always just one version that I later swapped with the newer ones. The same applies to a new score.

@papuschica What had occurred to me was that sometimes I click on the option so that the language appear correctly in the hood, and I really don't know what that option does in the hood. I click on it because yes. xD So this time I'll leave it unclicked, and just use it for all characters. To see if that is not what could be interfering with the image of your game, which I assume will be in another language. I don't know if I'm explaining myself correctly, it's a SimPE option. Maybe what I'm saying has nothing to do with it, but it's the only thing I can think of that could be discordant or something I've done. I will soon upload a test version of Service Area to see if you can tell me if the image appears correctly. It's taking me so long because I had the brilliant idea of ​​adding dead parents to Uranus, Payton, and Zelda. And also a couple more tombs referring to Madame's past... XD Luckily I almost have her memories ready.

Does anyone know how to stop a sim from knowing a dog they met? Normally I make two sims never met each other with insimenator but that option is not available for animals, so I guess I will have to do it with Simpe. Maybe I should ask it in another topic... xD

This sounds fun! I think you can leave it there the story is so immersive as is I don’t think it’s too necessary for play in my opinion
QUOTE=Sokisims]I was thinking about adding this things to Service Area, but that would delay the update a couple of weeks. I need you to give me your opinion, because I don't know whether to leave it there or add what I say:

Ermenhilda and Dimorteus would be Rocío's parents, Shadow hates Rocio and Ermenhilda. And the norvege.

Ava is the daughter of Lazy's mother and a new sim, Lazy, Jeremy and Faline's father is a journalist who died.

Aaron is the son of Agatha Moraitis and Dimorteus Gorski, Agatha hates Madame. So Aaron would be the half-brother of Rocio and Tender

Maybe add a baby son Dylan-Jackeline but the Ravengolds take care of him.

Gustave Dufour is Diago's brother, but Diago kept the surname Poverty.

Husky Rhodes would be the son of Cautious and Summer.

Service Area 2024 TEST1 NoCorrectNames Norveges not dead yet)

The only thing I don't like about this is that it would fill the neighborhood with graves and I don't want the ghosts to be such a present element, but you could always move them to the cemetery... I don't know, does creating these relationships break a lot with what is established? What do you think? I think it would give more interest to family trees. Furthermore, if you download the file you will see that Madame was married to Uranus's father, which gives more meaning to her hatred towards that family.[/QUOTE]

It would be great for me to know if the family relationships of the new relatives appear correctly for you, whether they are cousins, half-siblings, nephews and others. I'm organizing the new memories these days, don't pay attention to the disorder or the memories of growth, since I have to edit with Simpe. I still have to add bios to these new characters and edit some, when this is written you will understand some things better. What do you think that since I've gotten deep, I add dead parents to the automotive? I had thought about a marriage of dead workers, I thought that many of the dead are going to go to the mansion since they died there. XD I don't know whether to leave it like this and finish editing what I added, or go ahead and add the parents automotive, bravo and poverty. And leave everything tightly closed. Although if I added these I wouldn't make them anyone's brothers, I've already made enough connections.

Hi @Sokisims ! Posting just to say that I rather enjoy what you've done here with your 'hoods and it's always great to see them get expanded upon. Keep at it!

Thanks HarVee , it's a little exhausting creating all these characters and memories only for them to be dead, but I know it's going to give more background to some characters whose past we didn't know about. XD I will only leave 2 alive, who will be townies. Darla Couture and Agatha Moraitis, the rest belongs to Service Area's past. I wonder if anyone will guess who Peggy Sue really is. xDD

I leave you how I am going so far, I have added many biographies and edited some, I still have to edit some more and organize memories. xD My head is a bit jumbled because I have to decide which sims died first, but I'm almost there, so I'll sort through memories until I see that everything is consistent with the photos and the story. As you can see, although I have added some family connections, I am respecting the current lore and at the same time adding everything that was going to be and was not due to lack of time. I'm also conectng the lore of the Cassidyverse a bit. ^^ I want to finish and update to get to JSO 2024, which was almost there, but I also want to add some more ancestors in JSO. By the way, I haven't used that tool to compress the neighborhoods in a while, I wonder if it will reduce the size significantly when I use it. xD

Yesterday I spent many hours organizing memories and establishing family relationships. I have advanced the work of many days and now I only need to finish what is left, touch up bios and kill the sims that must belong to the city's past. I would say that now all family relationships appear correctly, including cousins, half-siblings, uncles and so on. Although I should test a little more in case I left something out, I did a test to see if the future babies had family relationships and yes, everything worked well, but just in case I should do some more tests.

Information about my progress with JSO and Service Area version 2024 (or 2025? XD):

I have all the memories of the new relatives from both neighborhoods practically ready. I just have to check a little to see if I have left something out xD. I also have to take care of the memories of the townies and some jso characters. I also wanted to review the JSO houses a little more and I was thinking of trying to replace a repeat house with another better lot, but I am having a hard time since the JSO architecture has a simple stye in which not everything looks good, if anyone has Any suggestions XD... In a while I'll upload my progress so far. Let's say that both neighborhoods are at 90% but that remaining 10% requires work and concentration. I am also in a dilemma thinking about who could be Disgustia's father, since I have two different candidates, I also don't know whether to give Julius Bionda and Aretha a family or leave them as they are. xd

I've been playing around in the updated Service Area and I just wanted to let you know I really appreciate the effort you've put into it! The houses turned out great and the updated family trees are cool. I am really looking forward to the finished result )

I'm glad you're liking the changes!! Personally I really like the Bravo parents! xD Did you see that I added an underground bowling alley in "Smoky Arcade"? XD I think Service Area was missing a bowling alley. xD These days I'm going to continue working, I hadn't done anything for days because in the last session I made a lot of progress. By the way, in the end I did add parents to the Alternate. We will also have graves for Tanor's parents and grandmother in Jso.

I played the first version of JSO years ago, but fell out of the Sims 2 shortly afterwards, so I didn't have time to figure out the clone plot entirely. Recently got back into it, and saw a nice playthrough of Service Area on youtube, so I'm very excited for the new versions to come out so I can jump back into playing myself. From the videos, your lots are extremely nice, but I am worried that they're too big for the dreaded pink soup and I don't want to wait months to get a new computer, so the fact you're accounting for this fact for the new versions is very much appreciated!

Is Aberon Garden still planned to release too?

I hope it doesn't take long to finish, and that you can try the new version! The truth is that I originally built Jso and Service Area on a computer full of pink soup and a giant screen, which is why some batches were so big. In any case, since I have the laptop that handles Sims 2 without problems, I have been able to reduce all the batches so that they look the same but are actually smaller, which has greatly reduced the lag. I think that a computer with pink soup will always have a little, but of course the better optimized this neighborhood will be, the better it will work on a pink soup configuration. xD

About Aberon Garden, the last thing I did was create some ancestors of the families, I also defined the lore a bit and made some notes about entanglements that there may be. xD I also took the opportunity to try not to repeat hairstyles and clothes with the other neighborhoods. After that I went back to Jso and Service Area to see if I can finish it once and for all. When I finish I will focus on Aberon, although it is likely that I will advance some things in the meantime, like the university project which is being done at its own pace :D

I've come up with a little poll, you can say your candidate here. Almost all the parent characters I'm creating for Jso and Service Area are going to be dead. But since most of them have some pretty funny looks, I thought that if there are people who have tried the tests, tell me which sim or sims they would leave alive so they can live like parents at home or maybe townies. They can also give their reasons or simply say a sim because they like it and that's it xD.

I'll upload new tests tomorrow or the day after in case there are people who prefer to see a more advanced version to decide.

I've made a lot of progress with Jeans Shaker Oasis and Service Area. I think I’ve added almost all the memories, though I might need to review them in case I missed something. Right now, I’m a bit stuck trying to build something decent on the empty lots of Jeans Shaker Oasis. xD I also haven’t dared to kill off the ancestors yet because I want to make sure I haven’t missed any memories, relationships, or connections in the family tree. Let’s see if I can get past this little roadblock and keep moving forward, it’s almost done! xD
