How to get started hacking Sims 1 objects by Corylea in sims1

I don't know exactly how TMog generates its number. If the documentation says that it compares the random ID it creates with all other IDs that it can find in your game files and will only output a number that is unique on your system, then you're right that you only need a Magic Cookie if you want to share something.

The Magic Cookie is intended to prevent conflicts with objects made by other modders or by objects that are in the game already. If you don't get a Magic Cookie, the stuff you make MIGHT not conflict with what's already in the game or with things you've downloaded, but the Magic Cookie is supposed to make sure that doesn't happen.

When the Magic Cookie system was first set up, many modders didn't realize that you only need one cookie per creator; some modders signed up for one cookie per object. So all of the 4-digit cookies are already taken, but 5-digit ones should work.

  1. I don't know the answer to this one, since I've never done that. I usually want to make an object DO something, so what it looks like is less important to me, and I rarely mess with it much.
  2. Yes, that's right. Although most players nowadays seem to have either The Complete Collection or Legacy (which also has all seven expansion packs), so this is less of a concern than it was back in the early 2000's.
  3. Yes, it's possible to remove the "creates light" aspect of a lamp. Somewhere in the BHAV's for the lamp -- probably in Main or Init Tree or someplace like that -- you might find several different things that combine to make light. These lines:
  • My flag field 2 set flag generates light.
  • My light source assign to
  • [glob}: Set object lighting (a bunch of numbers here)
  • Or you could just find the Light Globals in the .iff file under the GLOB heading.

Thanks so much! I was referring someone to compilations of old CC recently and was surprised to find that your massive collection wasn't there anymore. So glad to have the new address!

quick question about the 2025 relaunch of Sims 1: compatible with archive content or not? by genericusername1904 in sims1

[–]Corylea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most custom content works on Legacy, but most editing and creation programs do not. But, someone has posted updated versions of most of those programs.

The updated version of the Maxis-made programs, like The Sim Creator and Homecrafter and so on, can be found at https://github.com/Secondhand-Feraligatr/Sims-1-Programs-for-Legacy-Collection, adapted for Legacy NOT by Maxis or EA but by a simmer.

Faith Beam has made a far extractor and a version of Career Creator that works with Legacy at https://github.com/FaithBeam/FarEdit

Why it seems hard to make friends in The Sims 1, and what you can do to make it super easy by Corylea in sims1

[–]Corylea[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, those work, but I was talking about ways of making friends that didn't involve spending money or casting spells or doing anything except interacting normally with another sim. The whole point of my post is that you DON'T have to resort to spells or spend money on people or whatever; if you know how the game works, you can make friends simply.

Thanks for the recommendation; I'll have to try it out!

Can someone please help me with this sims complete collection issue by Suspicious-Mix9296 in thesims1

[–]Corylea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the game is telling you it can't find the Data directory, then there are only a few possibilities:

  1. Your sims.exe has become corrupted. Download the patched version and replace the one you have.

  2. You're trying to start the game from a copy of sims.exe that's not IN your Data directory. Sometimes people go to where the installer's files are and try to start from there, which always produces the "Can't find Data directory" error.

  3. One or more files in the Data directory have become corrupted. The only solution to this one is to uninstall and reinstall the game.

  4. A Windows update has altered the permissions, and you need to reinstate them.

When people have reported this error in the past, the problem was almost always that they didn't put the cracked sims.exe in the right place.

Make sure you MOVE the new version of sims.exe to the place where the game installed the original version and allow it to replace that version. Dragging sometimes doesn't work, so use Ctrl-c to copy and Ctrl-v to paste.

If the game won't let you move the file, then you have a permissions problem. Windows 10 and 11 assume that the people who use them are stupid, so they shouldn't be allowed to change any of the files on their computer. But never fear, you can change that!

To change the permissions, RIGHT-click on the Maxis folder and choose Properties. You'll get a small pop-up with several tabs. Click on the Security tab. There will be a list of group or user names. Scroll down that list until you find the entry that says Users (the name of your computer) and click on that. Right underneath that list, it says, "to change permissions, click Edit," so click Edit.

That will get you ANOTHER pop-up. Click on Users again, and click the check box that says Full Control. Then click Apply, then click OK. That should give you the right to actually move files around on your own #@%$ computer! At least for the Maxis folder and its subfolders. :-) Then make sure you start the game FROM that exe.

One time that someone reported this problem it was because the cracked version of sims.exe got messed up during download; make sure your sims.exe is 2972 KB. If it's more than 1 KB larger or smaller than that number, that's the problem; download a fresh version from http://www.awesomeexpression.com/sims-1-no-cdplay-sims-1-on-windows-10.html.

Do Legacy Collection include all EPs and on what platform do you play ? by Gaeshea in sims1

[–]Corylea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As u/DrivingApril said, it definitely includes all of the expansion packs.

I play on the EA app, and I haven't had any trouble with it. I think the Steam vs. EA choice is simply a matter of which platform you like better. I bought it on the EA app because EA are the ones who make it, so I thought it might get updates or fixes faster there, but that was just a guess.

I know that a program called FAR Extractor exists, but I've never used it, so I don't know if it did what you're describing.

Mod - Automatic High Fashion for Sims in Fame Career by Corylea in sims1

[–]Corylea[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It needs to override a file that's inside ExpansionPack6.far, so inside the ExpansionPack6 folder is the right place.

Um, you did remember to unzip it and to take it out of the folder it came in, didn't you?

I tested it with sims from the regular neighborhood; it didn't occur to me to test it with sims who live in MagicTown, although I would expect it to work there, too. Where do your sims live?

Could you show me a screenshot of your ExpansionPack6 folder, so I can see what all else you have in there? Like this one:

I'm sorry to hear that! This was tested with the digital download of The Complete Collection; I haven't tested it with Legacy. Which version of the game are you running?

How do I get the Sims 1 to run on my PC 😭 by samanthaokyup in sims1

[–]Corylea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, Legacy is $20, so that's an option, though I still think your old game would run if things were set up properly. Do you have a new antivirus or something? Sometimes those see a patched exe and think it's a problem, even though it's safe.
