Simply download and unzip the file into your Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/Mods folder. This mod modifies the following XML resource (any other mod using the same xml file will cause conflict):īasically any other mod that modifies names generation will conflict with this. Note: Townie names for Selvadorada locals, jungle adventure skeletons, pets, robots, ROM familiars, Star Wars townies etc. I intent to keep this updated as long as the Sims 4's lifecycle, so keep coming back after each major patch! Note: This does not affect existing townies, it only affects new townies generated with this mod installed. I did not create any new names myself - all the names are from the default lists from Maxis. (Please note the previous two other versions are no longer available, as they do not work well anymore and I can't figure out the cause, I think EA may have changed the names coding). ![]() Komorebi, the randomly generated locals will not have Japanese names. Please note that when you play in Sulani, the newly generated locals will no longer have Island Living names either. All other townie names should generate in your game's language, including all the non-alphabetical languages (Chinese, Korean, Japanese and Russian). How the mod works:Īll City Living/Island Living/Snowy Escape townie names have been deleted and replaced with the huge lists of townie names available from previously. Please let me know if you have issues with other languages. ![]() Should support all languages, although I only play in English and can only test the English version of the game extensively. With this mod, the names for townies will now come from the list of names from before the pack(s) were installed, so no more such names for your townies in other worlds! Requires City Living, Island Living and/or Snowy Escape expansions to be used. Again with Snowy Escape, Japanese named townies are also found EVERYWHERE, not just in Mt. With Island Living, unfortunately, Sulani locals names are generated for random townies in ALL other worlds, breaking that immersion. The Sims is a Virtual Life video game published by EA Games released on January 31st, 2003 for the PlayStation 2. The IBA qualifies on the basis of the concentration of seabirds present (in particular Adélie Penguin ( Pygoscelis adeliae )) and comprises all of Sims Island. ![]() With City Living installed, many townies would have very repetitive names such as "Datta", "Gupta" and "Izumi" - it's the same names everywhere you go. Sims Island is a small ice free island of 1.5 km by 0.8 km situated south of Smyley Island and about half-way between Case Island and Rydberg Peninsula in Caroll Inlet, Bellingshausen Sea. This mod changes the way townies are named if you have City Living, Island Living or Snowy Escape. Im sorry it is the only version that I know that did not give any bugs. After extensive testing in my own game (English version), I had to delete the other versions of this mod. I could NOT figure out the cause (I think EA has changed the coding on names ). The reason is there has been some reports of NPCs spawning without second names. Unfortunately, there is now only 1 version of this mod - No CL/IL/SE names. Updated for JPre-Horse Ranch patch (due to the addition of horse names) Important update :

Dora took up sewing and giving piano lessons to make ends meet.ĭuncan grew up in poverty, but her mother was passionate about art, so she often brought poetry books home and taught about paintings.

But, with a waterfall of criticism and comments from society, Duncan still established her dance school in Berlin in 1905. In Berlin, in 1903, Duncan gave a speech and reiterated that the future dance would be natural and free, comparable to that of the ancient Greeks. Her normalization of the modern form of ballet gave rise to a long-lasting debate between old school balletomanes and reformers of the art form. Her barefoot dancing with clads of sheath influenced by Greek imagery and Italian Renaissance paintings enthralled the audiences in theatres and concert halls across Europe.

Bond escapes the track and sees his limousine, boarding it. ![]() When Bond overtakes Zorin, Zorin activates a device that causes the horse to go wild. The course is laid with booby-trapped obstacles and Zorin's goons who attack Bond. In an effort to get rid of Bond, Zorin provides Bond with an ill-tempered horse. ![]() He invites Bond to race with him steeplechase-style. During their meeting, Zorin uses a hidden camera and database to find a match for pictures he takes of Bond Zorin discovers Bond's real identity.

Bond defeats them both and retreats to May Day's room. The two are attacked by a pair of Zorin's thugs. Bond and Tibbet also discover a packing room for a large stash of the same microchips that Bond obtained in the Arctic. There they discover Mortner's secret work: Zorin plants microchips in his horses, programmed to release a steroid when prompted by a hidden radio transmitter snuck into the tip of the jockey's whip (or a cane, as Bond remembers from Ascot). Tibbet is found by Bond, who has discovered a secret lab below the stables. When Tibbett sneaks up behind, he sees that Mortner & the horse have disappeared. Later, Tibbett follows Dr Mortner who leads Pegasus into Zorin's stables. He later sneaks into Zorin's office and finds a check written to Sutton for a large sum of money. When Bond tries to talk briefly with her, she's whisked away by Mayday at Zorin's orders. He sees her enter Zorin's office where they have a quick meeting. Bond thinks the woman "bares closer inspection," but Tibbett reminds him of their primary mission. Bond also meets an American named Stacey Sutton (Tanya Roberts).

Bond chases her to an upper level of the tower but she parachutes off before he can catch her. Moments later, Aubergine is assassinated by May Day (Grace Jones). Aubergine informs Bond that Zorin is holding an annual horse sale later in the month. Through Tibbett, Bond meets a French private detective named Achille Aubergine (Jean Rougerie) at the restaurant on the Eiffel Tower to discuss how the horse may have won. Sir Godfrey Tibbett (Patrick Macnee), an MI6 agent who works as a horse trainer, believes Zorin's horse was given drugs, although when screened by officials prior to the race, it did not show any drugs in its bloodstream. Later, Pegasus throws a fit and it takes some effort to get him under control - the person who regains Pegasus' control is a mysterious woman named May Day (Grace Jones). ![]() While at the track, Zorin's horse Pegasus miraculously pulls ahead to win the race. Bond and his superiors visit the Ascot Racecourse to observe the company's founder and CEO, Max Zorin (Christopher Walken). The retrieved microchip is also designed to withstand the damage caused to other chips by the electromagnetic pulse of a nuclear explosion. After Bond returns to England a week later, Q (Desmond Llewelyn) has the microchip analyzed and informs M (Robert Brown), Bond and the Minister of Defense that its design is an exact match of a microchip made by Zorin Industries. Upon doing so, he is ambushed by Soviet troops but flees in a submarine built to resemble an iceberg. James Bond (Roger Moore) is sent to Siberia to locate the body of 003 and to recover a microchip. Eli Morrow was later sent to South Ridge Penitentiary on charges of attempted murder of his former employer, but he told Robbie that this person deserved it. It would be over five years before Robbie told Gabe the truth about what happened that night, as Robbie feared that Gabe would not understand.

However, in the darkness, Reyes heard a voice which asked him if he wanted a second chance, did he want to punish those who hurt his brother, did he want to avenge his own death. Reyes then hit the ground, the impact killing him. He swore he would give anything to save Gabe, as he blamed himself for the incident. ![]() As he was falling through the air, Reyes' last thought was a plea to God, to the universe, to anyone who would listen, that Gabe be spared. The injuries suffered in the attack caused Gabe to lose his ability to walk, and Robbie was thrown from the car, flying through the air with his body covered in bullet wounds. Reyes put the car in reverse and used his driving skills to attempt to escape their attackers however, before long, the Locos caught up with the brothers and fired at their car, causing them both to be hit with bullets and their car to crash. When Reyes honked his horn, trying to get them to move out of his way, he was horrified to witness the gang members throwing a molotov cocktail at him and his brother, causing the front of the Hell Charger to be engulfed in flames. Reyes attempts to save his brother's lifeĪs they drove down the street together, joking and teasing one another as usual, a group of the Fifth Street Locos pulled up in front of their car. Filled with his own ego, Reyes invited Gabe to join him for the race and they went cruising around the neighborhood, with Gabe teasing Reyes that he was not allowed to help him with his homework and Reyes would only help him fail if he tried. While he was quietly pushing the car out of the drive in order not to disturb his uncle, Reyes was caught by Gabe Reyes who questioned what he was doing. One day, Reyes had decided to steal his uncle, Eli Morrow's, car and take it for an illegal drag race in Los Angeles.

Honey cashew chicken, as the name stated, it’s an Asian stir-fry dish with cashew nuts, chicken, and honey. Increase heat to high, add garlic, red pepper, pineapple chunks and edamame. The chicken is sauted with sesame oil for depth of flavor before adding broccoli, red bell peppers, edamame. Add chicken mixture and cook for 4 minutes or until lightly browned. Consider this dish like a cashew chicken stir fry.

Well on this particular flip through the coupon book there was a "Wok Your World" page with the following recipe and coupons for the canned pineapple and the soy sauce.ġ - 20 oz can pineapple chunks > we used fresh pineappleĢ chicken breasts, cut into 1" cubes > we used chicken thighs (had on hand in the freezer)ġ/2 c dry roasted cashew pieces, chopped > we used peanutsĭrain pineapple chunks reserve juice. But every now and then I like to browse the coupon books to see if anything has changed and I'm ready to adopt some coupon-ing. And there are certainly times where I see coupons for products we buy but since I'm not a frequent coupon-er I have no system in place to store the coupons so, unfortunately, coupons are just a hassle for me. In a large nonstick skillet, heat 2 teaspoons oil over medium-high heat stir-fry chicken and garlic 1 minute. I find that the majority of the coupons are for processed foods and I try to stick with whole foods. Directions Mix cornstarch and water until smooth. It doesn't pack quite the flavor punch the other stir fry does but being able to cut the prep / cooking time in half means I'm willing to sacrifice a wee bit of flavor!Īnd you'll never guess where I found the recipe! In the coupon section of the Sunday paper! I rarely flip through the coupon books because I rarely find a coupon to use. This one had those similarities (like coating the chicken with cornstarch) but reduced the prep time and cooking time by half. This one today is similar to this stir fry we currently make quite a bit. Remove chicken from pan and drain any accumulated liquids. ![]() Cook and stir chicken in hot oil until cooked through, 6 to 10 minutes. ![]() Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a deep frying pan or wok over high heat.

You have a deep understanding of the different types of gemstones and the unique properties they hold within, allowing you to wield their power to devastating effect. ![]() Your mastery of magic is focused on the power of gemstones, which you use to weave spells of great beauty and strength. Now, Orin travels from mine to mine, searching for the most exquisite gemstones to add to his collection and to fuel his magical abilities.”Īs a Gem Mage, you possess an innate connection to the raw elemental energies of precious stones. With the help of an old tome he found in the cavern, Orin learned to tap into the elemental energy of gemstones, unlocking powerful magic that he had never imagined possible. However, it wasn’t until he stumbled upon a hidden cavern filled with glittering gemstones that he discovered his true calling as a Gem Mage. Growing up in a small mining town, he learned to identify different types of minerals and soon became an expert in the field. “As a child, Orin always felt a deep connection to the earth and the precious gemstones it held within.Whatever their path, Gem Mages are respected and feared in equal measure, for their mastery over the primal forces of the universe is unmatched by any other arcane spellcaster. Others are members of elite cabals and academies, sharing their knowledge and secrets with like-minded individuals in a constant quest for greater understanding and power. Some Gem Mages are solitary seekers, wandering the world in search of rare and powerful gems to add to their collection. They use their knowledge and skills to create dazzling displays of arcane power, weaving spells that can stun, heal, and destroy with equal measure. Through tireless research, experimentation, and meditation, they have learned to tap into the elemental energies that flow within these stones, gaining an unparalleled mastery over the forces of nature. They believe that these precious stones hold within them an innate magic that can be harnessed to create powerful spells and wondrous creations. OK, I stole these lists off the web- there are lots of similar ones out there.Gem Mages are individuals who have delved deep into the study and exploration of the mystical properties of gemstones and crystals. ![]() Basically, I suggest a list of activation words instead. There must be some record of the gems required. I would suggest lowering the top value a lot, and maybe have some variation in value among gem types.įinally, how are PCs to know what quality of gem they require? The magic can't really be based around current market value, so a price tag can't help. Not much of an answer to the specific question about gems and planes, I know, but maybe some help on the broader idea. Your players might end up spending more time hunting down extraordinary gems than anything else, and that might or might not be fun. So my questions would be: is any gem in your D&D economy worth that much, and how many of them could characters come by? They might have the money, but are the gems there?Īlong the same lines, if the very largest and rarest gems of certain types are worth 10,000 gp, how is it possible to have less rare gems be of that value? Each gem type should have some sort of ceiling, really, once you are way out there. Such gems are rare, though, at the same time. ![]() The other is: can there even BE such valuable gems? The absolute most valuable gems in the world might be described as priceless, but they can actually be bought for amounts that really don't move wealthy people too much. One is: would anyone who built such a device see any advantage in requiring such incredibly valuable gems to be used to activate it? That is, who would want to throw such wealth away- was there no way to build it without that feature? A couple of things spring to mind for me. ![]() The customers selected merchandise as they continued through the maze to the cashier. Customers at Piggly Wiggly entered the store through a turnstile and walked through four aisles to view the store's 605 items sold in packages and organized into departments. The concept of the "self-serving store" was patented by Saunders in 1917. ![]() Piggly Wiggly Corporation secured the self-service format and issued franchises to hundreds of grocery retailers for the operation of its stores. Others were initially experimenting with this format, which came to be known as a "groceteria", reminding people of cafeterias, another relatively new, self-service idea. Losses due to easier shoplifting were more than offset by profits from increased impulse purchasing. Piggly Wiggly introduced the innovation of allowing customers to go through the store, gathering their goods, thus cutting costs and lowering prices. This created a greater cost and higher prices. Instead, a customer would give a list of items to a clerk, who would then go through the store, gathering them.
