Talk:Townie: Difference between revisions

::Townies from the Sims 2 base game have randomized careers, relationships and skill points. Some of the townies from Strangetown and the sub neighbourhood Bluewater Village have randomized interests because they have no interests as referenced in the game files. A few of the Strangetown townies like [[Abhijeet Cho]] and [[Blair Mace]] have incomplete career data so their careers are usually messed up (unless the player fixes this with [[Package editor#SimPE|SimPE]] or by making them change careers) - if you've had the same experience then you'll know what I mean. Bluewater Village, Belladonna Cove and Magic townies always have the same skills and career (but not relationships). I'm pretty sure what I said about the townies from the latter three neighbourhoods is true and if they don't always have the same skills and career, they will have the same ones mostly.

:Oh, yes! That reminds me. The game excessively generates social class townies because the abundant number of them is "essential" for neighboring and roommate purposes. I suggest you use Cyjon's [http://drupal.cyjon.net/node/220 Townie Apartment Resident mod], so that the game will pick regular townies as your neighbors, eliminating the need of generating excessive social class townies.

because I've just been playing [[The Sims 2: FreeTime]] and one of my [[Child]] [[Townies]] just became a [[Teen|teenager]]. When I checked [[Solveig Lawson]]'s [[Aspiration (The Sims 2)|Aspiration]] her said aspiration was [[Knowledge]]. One of the other child townies [[Virginia Gothier]] aged into a teenager as well. The game randomly assigned her an aspiration - [[Romance]]. So thus the said information I removed is potentially not true.

Not much actually. But all the [[Child]] [[Sims]] that I've aged up have been given one of the [[Aspiration (The Sims 2)|Aspirations]]s available to [[Teenage]] Sims and up.

:Adding a line saying that retaining the [[Grow Up]] [[Aspiration (The Sims 2)|Aspiration]] is something that has been known to happen seems to be the best solution here. '''[[User:C.Syde65|<font color="maroon">C.Syde</font>]]''' ([[User talk:C.Syde65|<font color="black">talk</font>]] &#124; [[:Special:Contributions/C.Syde65|<font color="black">contribs</font>]]) 20:57, May 1, 2014 (UTC)

I think if a [[Child]] [[Sim]] is on the lot when they age up, then I think that they're more likely to retain the [[Grow Up]] [[Aspiration (The Sims 2)|Aspiration]]. I'm not entirely sure what the circumstances are, as the only Child [[Townies]] that have aged up in my game weren't currently on the lot when they aged up.
