Yes. Go to the "Advanced Demographic Options" (rightmost) options tab, and un-click Enable Story Progression.
As well, I reckon you'll want to Disable Aging (in the Game Options tab).

Yep.

I turn it off so I can tell a story without having the co-stars (inactive households) pick up and move out of town.

Was your camera quite close to the wall? I'm wondering whether it might have disappeared the way objects disappear when the camera is inside their convex hull or something like that.

First, my gratitude to you all for the considerable progress that's taken place since I was last on this thread many years back. "Helpful" isn't even a good enough button; some of this work should be...

IMO the answer depends partly on whether there are other good options for curing those moodlets. For example, showers are good for anything that singes a Sim, but the rest of your list may have a...

What options do you have to accomplish that? Choose a voice of the three available? Set the pitch? That's all I can think of.

Could be, I guess. It's a shame we have so few samples of it :) and no video of how a person makes it.

For me, exotic-ness has something to do with how 'r' is pronounced. Spaniards, French, and Germans each seem to produce it in different parts of their mouths (and this is part of the reason I have a...

I believe I can hear this in Simlish song as well (Da Linnip, Mayzie Grobe, etc.) even though it's generated differently from the speech.
Just to clarify, are the word-final labials in this one...

My tongue-in-cheek reply was because we aren't in the position of prescribing it. So I agree with HarVee that the West Coast accent is okay, but that's partly because it has to be okay -- value...

You are not alone. I have a fine GPU, but the largest number of hi-definition lots we can set is 8, so in a wide shot there are sure to be some that aren't fully rendered. Some lots do fail to...

Sim Linguistics -- your impressions of the sound of the language?

Suul-suul all.

When the game was new, people enjoyed posting phrasebooks. Yet still I feel the language is under-studied, and I would like to kick off a discussion amongst listeners of Simlish. ...

Thank you so much for these. Some Sims might complain "they're not my favourite kind", but don't listen to those. I'm just thrilled to have cake-y treats that don't age me up when I eat them.
