Locking away the fridge during parties and the bookcase (+ all loose books) in all residential uni lots has become a sanity thing for me. Even more important for the bubble blowers all Pleasure sims demand. Could work for your TV and stereos too. I find it's more convenient to arrange the house so such objects are already behind lockable doors rather than dragging them there when guests show up, but that doesn't work so well on every lot, especially if funds are tight.

Edit: the computer is another one that I find really annoying, not because one guest uses it, but because everyone else tries to use it and then stomps and swears because there's "no chair."

Well, there's Pescado's autonomycontrol mod, where you can block anyone from using anything without being commanded to. I use it mostly in Apocalypse Challenges where I can have a computer to write novel on but not anything else, so I don't have to constantly tell sims to stop blogging about chess and playing computer games!

I'd like working outerwear. Sims shouldn't freeze if they're properly dressed.

I doubt this can be done, but it'd be neat to see this!


Someone did this, but I cannot find the hack. No random townie driving, but cars passing by the lot.

Well, they ought to freeze slower than otherwise, anyway.

Yeah, I like every part of that except "All new FT computer options are disabled for visitors on residential lots," because I really don't mind guests browsing the web for hobby stuff. I've had friends come over irl and do that; it doesn't exactly seem so strange to me, especially for sims who are less social.

Does outerwear actually do nothing at all? I think sims should still freeze eventually if they're in outerwear, but it should slow down the whole getting cold process.

Sims can freeze and die outside while wearing outerwear. It's not quick though.

Since children can bring in the mail from mailbox, isn't it possible for them to share cards with other children? That would be great if they could send notes and cards to their besties. (:

It has no effect at all.

I might have to test this now since I frequently check my sim's personal temps with the batbox, and I assume the data it spits out is more exact that the little thermometer on the sim's portrait. Also I do have warmthfixes.

Yes, Inge made it. It is at simlogical under Eating (2nd mod listed on the page). http://simlogical.info/

WOW, that Take a Spin mod that is listed on the aussietopenders site is what I have always wanted! Take a spin in the car and buy Pizza/chinese food/groceries. http://www.aussietopenders-sims2.com/hackedobjects.htm

Chris hatch's bus mod is quite fun. I can only wonder If somebody made a subway sort of TS3'alike system where a sim enters that object and then gets to choose from (preferably limited to where the object is presented) a list of lots to travel to. Also, speaking of metro and trains, as anybody converted road into railroad tracks and have carpool/vehicles/taxi appear in a form of a train? I also wish (Island Paradise inspired, I know) for boats to appear on the road that is replaced by water/swimming-pool.

I'd like a hacked object that would regulate/take care of your sim's temperature.
Not like Inge's AC ceiling object, which pushes sims to stand under it if too cold/hot until their bar is green again, no.
With that hacked object in the room, your sim would never get too cold/hot to begin with.
It could be a..AC that you install in a window...or a mini-heater you place on the floor, or..etc.

That would be ideal for these CFE houses that consider your attic to be *outside* thus freezing in the winter, and having a heatstroke in the summer by sleeping in it...
Only problem I see is that *outside* also means..your whole lot.
(and, that I'd never be able to create that function)

I have some ideas about this. I was thinking to make it so that "inside" is not comfy by default - it reflects outside weather (taking into account a slightly stabilizing effect from the enclosed space) and requires heating or cooling to make it comfy. Social workers might not appreciate it, so I'd have to make it easy on kids, but overall I don't foresee too many problems with this.

By the way, I noticed my sims have heatstrokes by sleeping inside either. It might be something in sleeping code. I'm not saying anything about CFE attics. Don't know how they work.

#7495 Old 9th Feb 2018 at 1:41 PM
That would be nice indeed. Do you think, adding code to the fireplaces would be possible? having one and light a fire should warm up the place...
About attics, not all of them are considered to be outside. I noticed it was the case in the house I am building now, when I tried to put a ceiling lamp..and it says *must be placed inside*
Which means, that bedroom will not be insulated. This is only true if one has Seasons EP, of course.
Many tutorials about CFE warns you that this attic place should not be a bedroom, for that reason.

Watch out, you will get lots of extra driver sims. Traffic hacks have been available for a long time now. I got my first one in 2005 or something (the one by Shaklin).

Are we talking about a mod that adds NPC's that you cannot remove from your game once you put that object on your lot then hit Live mode?

When the game calls a car for a drive past, it will call a driver. If there are two or even three cars on the lots - which sometimes happens with these hacks, the game calls for a driver for each one. If you also have, say a taxi, on the lot or maybe a school bus (or both), for every instance of a driveable vehicle, the game will call for a driver. It does not duplicate drivers. So, if you arrive on lot with a sim in a taxi and the school bus arrives about the same time (or you have another sim returning or going to work) and then you have two drive pasts on the lot at the same time, the game will call for four drivers. Even with the noregen hacks, you will get four drivers because the noregen hacks are designed to allow the game to call for NPC sims when it needs them. With four vehicles on the lot, it needs four drivers. Little Carping has ended up with six drivers I think it is even though I mostly only have one of each type of other NPC.

Ok yes, so I will just have more Drivers in my 'Hood. If I decide to delete the cheat object from my lot, the new Drivers will stay and it won't create no character files. They are Drivers..not PT's.
Hoping this is right.
