essentials:
1.) The granddaddy mod to rule them all: MC Command Center by deaderpool <-- must have!

faster or slower:
- slower skilling by maloekoegirl

sim anatomy:
- height slider mod (v.04.1) by simmythesim, fixed by vectorplexus + Ash77 // CmarNYC
* special note on height sliders: you need to download the original file set, then add on the fixes as instructed in the linked posts. The Cmar slider is a second CAS height slider (probably easier for most people to use) and both can be used at the same time.

Hi Laura, I saw that MC Command Center was updated just after midnight so that with the toddler patch it doesn't just outright stop the game from working (Deaderpool's description). I was wanting to ask you, because I saw you are aging up or down your kids for Sierra Nova that are supposed to be toddlers, any advice on doing that in the safest way? I'm itching to see what Ethan McElveen looks like and his traits and stuff- and how his finicky mom is going to react, ha. I of course have a back up, but just thought I'd check with you since you might have good advice. Also I saw something about custom eyes turning red.
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting me know he updated again! He's so fast, lol! He already did one update shortly after the patch, which is what I've been playing with for the past couple of days.
DeleteI've just been using regular old CAS with cas.fulleditmode to age down sims. No problems at all. I can't wait to see yours as tots! :D
The only problem I'm running into is with the "More traits in CAS" mod—don't know if you use that one or not—which is still fine for all other sims except toddlers. It prevents toddlers from retaining any traits. I'm currently trying to find an alternative, but no luck. Other than that, I'm surprised at how little is actually broken with this update! I would expect a lot more to break from such a big update.
No problems with the CC eyes that I'm using, although I've heard that some people are struggling. The SimLeigh eyes that I use are working perfectly!
Yeah, Deaderpool amazes me. I'm very grateful he does such an great job with MC Command Center. I don't use the more traits in CAS mod. Hope you figure something out so you can use that! Thank you so much for your reply, and now I'm off to open up Simdale Valley for the first time since August, so I'm checking all the mods and CC for updates or taking them out; there are very few mods, mostly Lumia Lover's stuff for CAS, Lighting, and his body replacements, and then no zzz and no mosaic, and of course, MCCC. Thanks, and I'm really enjoying your Tumblr posts of your toddlers.
