How to modify the Neighborhood Relationship Table

Miros1 · 07-05-2007, 07:43 PM

#1 (not shown) Start SimPE. Tools->Neighborhood Browser. Choose your hood. BACK UP. If you didn't back up, BACK UP. Have you backed up yet? No? BACK UP. If you haven't backed up, anything that happens is on you! I told you to BACK UP! Open the hood.

#2 Click on SREL in the upper left window. Click on the header of the first column in the upper right window so they're in alphabetical order. Click "Plug-in View" on the tab at the very bottom of the window, if necessary.

#3 Scroll down to the name of the character you're interested in. Click it.

#4 Check and uncheck the boxes as appropriate.

In my example, I simply unchecked the "Family" box so that Chance could get romantic with his girl cousins. When he's made up his mind, I'll make the other cousin "family" again.

I know from experience that a married couple needs the following checked: Friends, Buddies, Crush, Known, Love, Married, Steady, Family. Do not check Engaged, or they'll insist on taking vows again! Do not use this method to create a polygamous family.

#5 (not shown) Click Commit.

Repeat steps 3-5 as necessary.

#6 Save.

Hmm... I think it's OK to create a polygamous family with what you've got there. The problem arises when you edit the neighborhood relationships table.

Ok, maybe I'm confused... I thought this was the neighborhood relationships table...

Greg · 07-05-2007, 09:27 PM

Erm... maybe it is. I'm used to SimPE's user interface that has a graphical user interface for defining relationships.

um... I have some trouble.I click on the sim I want but nothing happens.

Miros1 · 07-05-2007, 11:26 PM

Are you on step #3? The relationship in question should show up in the bottom window. Or are you posting in the wrong thread?

i've been clicking and looking,i've posted it also on SimPE forums

Light bulb just went off... at the very bottom of the window, there should be a tab labelled "Plug In View." Click that.
