Sims Related - FYI

[orikes]

This is just an FYI for the simming folks that read this journal. For those of you concerned about InSim going the way of the dodo, there is an alternative out there.

The Sim Blender by TwoJeffs.

I think it's a little clunkier to use than InSim, but he just added a wholes lew of family options that let you do even more family linkage than InSim does. He's got a few very neat options on there if you can get used to using the menus. I don't like how it forced me to scroll through the entire neighborhood's worth of sims to do what I wanted, but I do appreciate the options it offers.

WOW. Thank you! I've been told this is better, and it certainly has some shinies I wanted, but the one thing it didn't seem to have before was the family stuff, and of course that's what I needed most. If the family thing had been available before, I might have been able to set Flavius and Publius as cousins without killing everybody like that!

I think I will test drive this in my challenge neighborhood. Originally I wanted Uranium to be Secundus' aunt, but stuff got busted out of CAS and there were inappropriate heartfarts between Rhys and Uranium, and the upshot was that she wound up being Cypress wife and Rhys' mom. Which made a wrong situation even wronger.

Thanks, I think I'll check it out.

I do like the sim blender and TwoJeffs has even added a teleport option, which makes me happy because now I can remove inge's since I already have a simblender on just about every lot.

The name options are a pain, though, no doubt. It takes forever to scroll through an entire neighborhood of pictures.

I luff this particular shiny - it is the only thing I use in my game. <3 I've never had any problems with it, while InSim - back when I used it - seemed to bork my game quite a bit.

I personally don't mind scrolling through to find the names, but that's probably because the alternative seems to be... D: Manually going through menus to try to find that sim! At least with the pictures I know I've got the choice right.
