DESCRIPTION:

Friendship Candles!
Buy Mode Price:  1969
Buy Mode Category:  Decorative
Enabled for use at-home or on Community lots
Works with any version of The Sims 2 game

Object Description:

Similar to our Love Crystal, you can burn these candles in memory of dear friends, or use them to summon a random new friend instantly!  And both Friendship scores will max out at 100 after summoning!  A great way to quickly move your way up the corporate ladder.  There are several options.  Choose to summon a peer of the same gender, opposite gender, or any gender... or "free for all" which means any Sim of any age.  Make as many new friends as you want!  Unlike cheats, this has fun animations and sounds that should make it fun to use too.  Perfect for those lonely bachelor types who can't get away from the TV, or for those Sims that always wanted to get to know the female Fire Fighter a little better... because yep, it can summon NPCs too.  Lastly, it comes in 7 different color options.  This was a lot of fun to make and test and I hope you enjoy it too. :)

Options:

1)  Select "Same Gender Only" to summon peers of the same gender (i.e. male to female).
2)  Select "Opposite Gender Only" to summon peers of the opposite gender (i.e male to male).
3)  Select "Any Gender" to summon peers that are of male or female gender.
4)  Select "Free For All" to summon any Sim, regardless of age or gender.

Removing a "Friend" that may just hang around too long:

Usually you can click on the Sim, select "goodbye" and they leave voluntarily.  In some cases you may want a faster way to remove a Sim from your lot (especially if you used the free for all mode and got a Toddler)  :p  This option involves the "Move Objects cheat" to remove the Sim.  It is an official cheat by Maxis, and should be safe enough and easy to use, but it MUST be done properly:

Go into the Buy or Build Mode, then hold down Ctrl+Shift while you hit the "c" key.  This brings up the white "cheat box" which will appear at the top of the screen.  Type in "moveobjects on" (without the quotes and lowercase) and hit enter.  Then click on the Sim and hit the delete key.  Then bring the cheat box back up the same way as before, and type "moveobjects off" (without the quotes and lowercase) and hit enter.  It's very important that you do that last step too.  Then play the game as usual. :)

Note:  If you make a typo (it will tell you), then correct it do everything else above properly, but that white cheat box still sticks around, just type "exit" to remove it.

*****************************************************************************

Note about NPCs:

There are a few NPCs in the game that do not like to spring on certain lots... very few (2 I think), but it's worth a mention.  If the Social Bunny or the Therapist for example appear, they will usually disappear immediately (or soon) after, and no relationship will be established.  You may not even notice because there are so many Sims to choose from.  All other NPCs we tested were made friends with just fine.  For example, my Sim has become fast friends with the Repo Man -- so in some ways I guess, the Friendship Candles are sort of a combination of our TS1 Love Crystal, TS1 NPC Generator and TS1 NPC Friendship Bears.  I hope you enjoy it. :)

NEED MORE HELP?:

If you have any questions about downloading, unzipping and installing, please visit our FAQ page which has very detailed instructions at http://www.simslice.com/faq.htm 

Any problems with crashes, freezes or objects not showing up are 99.9% of the time related to either "requirements" not being met, OR a fluke in the downloading/installing process... but it's NOT because of the actual object coding itself.  Check our FAQ page for a very detailed list of these issues and resolutions you can do to resolve them.  Typically the fix is to double check the requirements, and if you meet them, then delete and redownload the item.  Do NOT use Simzip to unzip them.
