PMBD Baby Roast

[Pescado]

Is this for me? I cannot do this Pescado - it has to be based on one package, and if you want it to be grill-like and baby accomodating, you need to mod it. I brought skills of an artist - modding is your job - importing semi-globals and such.  This is the stuff of my nightmares.

Your job is to make sure the slot and bone crap lines up, so make sure the item can be cloned and used as a grill, then apply the same mesh to the changing table. You should end up wit two test items, one of each. I will then merge their functionalities.

While they are the same height, they do not sit in the same position in the meshing program. Nor will they, even if I move one of them "back" - it will end up like Snarky's couch, unless you have plans or contingencies.  Wouldn't it be easier (and I'm just starting to read about these things so I only have a slight understanding) to import the semi globals into the object itself, so that it functions both as a change table/crib and as a barbeque?

[Pescado]

That's what will happen AFTER you perform this first step. Work something out. Play with the slottages until the item functions as both.

Heh, they didn't make me spend the night at the hospital.  But I do have to go for a couple "tests" tomorrow.   

But, I like the look of the table and that should be pretty easy to textureize. 

The other stuff?  Calalily and Pescado, you two have to fight that one out, I don't have a clue how any of that stuff works.

I've only messed with slots once, when trying to make a three shelved knickknack thingie.  I gave up when I couldn't add a third shelf level.   I know there is a really good tutorial over on MTS2.  I'd offer to help, but there is a fairly decent chance this will be my last check in this year.  In the middle of moving and if things go right, I might not have internet or a computer hooked up til friday morning.

The grill is looking really good though, can't wait for the baby roaster.

Ok, this is both a disturbing yet fantastic idea!! I love it, and it's something I might actualy use in my game. I can't wait to see this finished. 
Well done.

[heartless]

Just curious: is this going to be coded so that the baby actually dies/disappears from the family when you roast it? Or is it just going to be a joke, where the baby gets stuck in it and psuedo-lit on fire, but actually survives?

I was wondering that myself... 
Anyhow, this is a great idea. I, too, can hardly wait to see the final product.

I hope it really grills delishis babby. I want to make a babby farm, which will sell roast babbys to the neighborhood at holiday times.

While I've never changed the routing slots on an object, I don't know if they differ greatly from container slots, they are controlled in the CRES.  My windows partition is gone, so this is going by memory right now.  But  I believe for the height change, in 3D Editor, Y goes up/down, but in the game  Z goes up/down.  X is X in both.  Basically Y and Z are swapped.  To change the height you need the distance from the existing point to the new height, then add it to the original.

I wish I could remember where I had seen the information, but also positive/negative relate to a specific direction.  I'm thinking adding to a number would move your object towards you or to the right, whereas negative would move away or to the left.  I will go search for where I had seen that.

My dealio was I'll make it, if you mod it.  Slots are under modding objects tutorials at MTS2.  I count this as modding. Slot playage is your dealie, unless you'd like to wait until Sims 43 comes out for me to do it right, I suggest you do it.  I will make both packages then - one based on the changetable, and one based on the grill.

I'm also meshing the delishis baby - I only have the prep stage done so far.

[Pescado]

There's no prep stage: This is a grillfood, it just pulls out of the grill complete as roast babby.

Oh okay - I wasn't thinking and cloned the turkey.  I presume that I can clone hotdogs?

[Pescado]

Probably.

[Quinctia]

So!

I was thinking, maybe we could call it "A Modest Roaster" or something similar and work this into the item description:

I have been assured by a very knowing American of my acquaintance in London, that a young healthy child well nursed is at a year old a most delicious, nourishing, and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled ...

Maybe along the lines of:
"I have been assured by a very knowing Sim of my acquaintance in (insert neighborhood name of choice), that a young healthy child well nursed is a most delicious, nourishing, and wholesome food, whether stewed, baked, boiled, or ROASTED..."

(Link for anyone who has no idea where I'm getting this from.)

I've been calling it the babyque.  But I need wording for the catalogue, so I will include that.
