How to tell if there are spawners?
« on: May 05, 2012, 11:11:48 AM »
Today I downloaded a custom world.  It's terrific, just what I wanted for a particular family, but there is one thing I don't like.  There don't seem to be any spawners.  36 hours into residence, the only ones I've found are for fish.  Despite looking extensively throughout the world, I have seen not a single seed, rock or minor pet.  Unfortunately, I'm not able to inquire of the world's creator if they were included.  How do I go about determining whether they've been placed?

Can you just get the collection helper?

Have you tried the Collection Helper lifetime reward?

Er, thank you, but I was seeking more of a technical way to find out.  New sim, new town, no job (on purpose), I'd have to cheat to get her that many points and I'd rather not do that.   :-[

You could just save then cheat to get the points to see if there are any spawners then just not save

That cheat has never worked for me, either, the one to give a sim reward points.  I've never been able to use it.

Anyhow, you did give me an idea, though.  I created a new town and gave that sim Swimming in Cash.  I motherloded her which gave her 30k of the 40k she needed.  It only took a day and a half to earn the rest.  I bought the collection helper and, thank goodness, there are seeds!  That was my big worry.  They seem confined to one side of the world, but that's no big deal.  Dunno why I couldn't find them, but they must be there.  Thanks for the inspiration!  :D

Master controller mod can show you all objects in the world, including spawners. Other than that, you can't check what is on open world area in game beside importing it in CAW using S3PE which is not easy or reliable.
You can move in family with Collector Helper or enough LTHP from another world and use it to see if there is anything spawning. It may take one day for anything to appear and few days to really get to see most if not all spawning points.

That LTW gives you I think 30k and you need 40k, I know it was never enough for Collector Helper and I was in this situation many times.

I do have Master Controller, oh, well.  I didn't know it could do that.  What's the command path for that, Anushka?

If my memory serves me well:
City Hall-> NRaas->Master Controller->Object Stats->Not Inventory (or Local, or Global) it takes time to generate the list and it will show everything in the world, including spawners. Hope that I remembered correctly or at least close enough  :)
