Extended Game Core

Like Awesomemod and other core mods, this mod does exactly as the name says - extends the game core. It's fully tunable which means you can choose to use (or not) the 40 or so fixes and additives to the game such as oopsie baby, additional CAS sliders, full length concerts at the stadium, planting on community lots, households of more than 8 sims, no more unknown seeds, extra "friendly" interactions between age groups ... and so much more!

Or, if you want to be a little naughty and add things like naked woohoo, there is an adult version available here: BaXiM's EGC version ... NB: you have to be 18+ to register and download this one.

Judi, I downloaded it yesterday but, so far, I haven't installed it yet because it looks a bit complicated to me. I will have to print the Read-file and install the thing step by step. I'm so afraid of losing my story families that I want to be sure to have them saved on at least 5 different places. Especially the 'more than 8 sims' household draws my attention. I don't intent to play with such large households but it's good to have them saved together so they won't lose a familymember or friend if having to re-install them.
Thank you my dear, for all those useful tips!

Margo - don't worry, I was a little scared of it to start with too! But the instructions are quite useful, and once you get the hang of it it's quite easy to choose what you want to use and ignore the rest. I probably only use 1/3 to 1/2 of its capabilities because I just don't need the rest at this point in time.

That sounds really interesting, like Margo I'm a bit scared myself. I have never used mods of any sort, soooo scared of them...I would like to see what's under the blur however there is no way I would put more then 8 sims in one household. I can't even control the 8 that are in there already hhahahaha.... they don't listen very well

I use Twallan's The Master Controller , Inge's Adding Lot Sizes in Edit World.
No Mosaic... i feel like i should not see what should be censored but you know our minds..

I was going to install EGC but it looked complicated...
And some camera mods, great for picture taking. Find em' at MTS

I have master controller now because I had to fix up a little skin issue with one of my baby sims, but so far I've only used the Edit in CAS feature to fix up "oopsies".

EGC is a little scary when it comes to tuning the first time, but now it just seems second nature. I swap and mix the bits and pieces I want all the time and haven't had any problems yet (except that I usually have to wait two weeks or so after an update or EP before I can use it)

WHAT is EGC ?

Fred, EGC = extended game core

It's similar to AwesomeMod but has different features

I've downloaded the EGC and tried to install it but most probably I do something wrong because it doesn't work with me. Have to read the 'readme' better I suppose.
