The cost of building a lot.

BlogAuthor: comet65Published: Aug 03, 2008Views: 1862

When I finish of my lots, I'm never really happy with the total cost. I always try and make more interesting lots, that a family starting out with 20K simoleons can purchase without cheats. (I personally cheat all of the time but I recognize that most don't.)

So in order to get around the costs I do a little trick that'll bring the cost down by around 5k.

Place a sim on the lot you just created, turn off all decay and aspirations using the codes, and let him live for a year(4 seasons), and kill him off when the value of the lot stops falling.

What's sad is if you move a sim out, that means that the kitchen and bathroom fixtures will be sold off, and the price of the lot will go up. Killing the sim brings the value down about 100 simoleons, and you can delete them in build mode.

But sometimes the deleted dead sims show up on my lots, and that's why you might see an urn.

Hi comet! If you plan to delete sims, you should do it in a disposable hood, meaning that the hood should easily discarded (in case it gets corrupted - the odds increase each time you delete an urn). So far I've come to the conclusion that the deleted sim will *only* show up in your game and not in anybody else's, so you shouldn't worry about that. But in case you have any doubt, make sure you use the sims2clanpack installer and look for character files that may be included in the package and remove them. I hope this helps! $\:\)$

p.s. Congrats on your minisite, I look forward to see more from you! $\:D$
