Nraas Notes ~ MC, Register, Traffic, Debuggler, Overwatch and Retuner

[MrsFlynn]

I have referred to these notes on several occasions and have been asked about what I have for settings for this or that Nraas mod. So I wanted to share my notes on the Nraas mods I use the most. And sticky it for quicker reference.

  ✽ Quick Links ~

  – MasterController
  – Register
  – Traffic
  – DebugEnabler aka Debuggler
  – Overwatch
  – Retuner


The mods don't show up per-se, for example when you're in Live mode and have an active Sim, click on City Hall to bring up the Nraas options. You should be able to click on your Sim and see an Nraas option as well.

Overwatch and ErrorTrap run in the background.
