I wish there was a mod to stop lightning. I miss Sim1 natural disasters - storms and earthquakes that would do actual damage. Would like to see "aspiration failure" that caused random stuff - like a parent or child running away, maybe getting in trouble; "we have found you teen, they will not be returned for X years" - and then they come back older, with a different personality.

Interesting idea - personality changes and such. Would it also randomize the teen's aspiration and TOs?

Natural disasters in TS1?? For real?! I've never seen that, and I played the game for YEARS!! I remember them in the SimCity games, but not from TS1. I kinda feel gypped!

Since this thread isn't "Things gE missed out on in TS1", but rather "Hacks & CC I'd like to see" for TS2, i'll add -- in the vain of disasters... it'd be nice if fires could do structural damage in TS2... like burning walls, roofs, stairs, columns, etc... build mode junk. Never made sense, a fire can burn your hot tub, but not the wall.

It's frustrating to see a massive fire take out everything outside a lot (including pavement) and never touch the house! It's bizarre, and definitely not realistic..I think it comes from Will Wright's being burned out of his house when he developed the game. I think he wanted to spare the pixels the horror of losing nearly everything.

I want to see a mod that allows witches to duel. I remember that from Sims 1.

There were no natural disasters in Sims 1. Maybe you're thinking of some version of Simcity? One of the EPs for TS3 had earthquakes in it - I think it was Ambitions.

In SimCity 2000 there was a scenario for earthquakes. They happened occasionally. Because SimCity had some characters that were reproduced in Sims 1 (Bob and Betty Newbie, for two), it's really easy to think of Sims 1 being the game.

Look out for an testing version of this today or tomorrow lol. On my tumblr.

Oh, he meant it literally. Was this asked in that thread though?

I've never had SimCity, or TS3, so my memory must be from some other multi-verse.

Still, it would be cool for natural disasters and other weather phenomena. Like tornadoes and hurricanes, blizzards and heatwaves. All would have varying effects on sims and the environment. Also blackouts could be a thing related to severe weather.

TS4 has earthquake trait.

And you...must play as a rock to get it? 0_o
Lot trait. right...

Someone was working on power outages a while ago, but I don't think they ever finished it.

Pretty sure it is Lamare.

This might sound weird, but i wish there was a mod that removes the weird music when the toilet gets clogged. It startles me a bit always, or them i'm too jumpy :D

There's music when the toilet gets clogged? :O

I believe it's the one sound effect when plumbing breaks in general. (If I'm correct at least, since lately I'm been playing TS3).

Then there are karma powers in TS3 console. They do sort of look cool.

There's a sound effect similar to this one from Sims 1 (at 1:30 and 1:33)

Try looking at iCad's tutorial on adjusting autonomy and motive advertising: https://dramallamadingdang.tumblr.c...4/tutorial-time. You should be able to disallow visitors from doing certain actions on the computer.

Oh yeah, I know that sound. Just didn't think of it as music. XD

Yup, i meant sound effect that Rox linked. It somehow startles me always when it plays xD

A "put the stupid grocery basket down now!" hack. I love running owned grocery stores and little convenience stores. The problem is, when a Sim who has shopped there comes home from work or from a community lot, she automatically pulls the grocery basket out and starts marching towards the fridge. If I cancel the action, usually because the fridge is already full, she nonetheless keeps the basket in a death grip and won't set it down until she reaches the kitchen counter. I'd love a hack that makes a Sim set down a basket immediately or, even better, cancels the "always pull out the grocery basket when coming home" action altogether. Or have I missed it?

I want a mod that plays the TS1 fire stings when a fire breaks out on your lot.
