Was bored the other day so I decided to try out a tutorial on mod the sims and make my sim kids a new custom snack - a jar of paste.
I ended up cloning the single serving of chinese takeout because the animations worked best with my mesh.
Sim kids love the paste, but it's going straight to their hips.
What values do I need to change to make paste less fattening? A BCON, BHAV?
Also, the paste has a custom utensil (paste top) that's currently in its own file. Can I just glomp the two objects together in one package, or is it best to leave them separate?
I can attach the file(s) if you need to look at them.
Thanks.

LOL don't clone the chinese food-that always causes your sims to lose fitness, even if a serving doesn't fill their hunger bar!

I think I need an American-English translation here. Jar of paste? Over here you'd rub it on your teeth or stick up wallpaper with it.

Also a type of glue for kids here in the US, common in pre-schools and elementary schools. Comes in a jar with a brush built into the lid. http://www.elmers.com/kids/product_detail.asp?pCode=E505AIt is (or used to be) based on corn starch, so it was quite edible, and somewhat tasty.  |

I thought it was always the weird kids that ate the paste. Like Ralph on The Simpsons.

Jesus god, that's a fucking hilarious pic. He should be sniffing glue, though, not eating paste. My paste usage was always monitored.  I can conjure up the smell right now and it makes my mouth water. |

I stick to what I originally said; I'd rather stick up wallpaper with that than eat it. |

Will a Sim toddler or child eat pet food if hungry enough?
(I confess to eating dog food a few times as a kid, but never paste)

Toddlers love to eat the pet food. I have to keep the toddlers on a separate floor so they can't get to it. I don't recall if it has to do if they are hungry or not. I seem to recall a well cared for toddler that always wanted to head straight for the pet food dish.

Hm... that makes me wonder if placing the automatic feeder from Pet Stories in the toddler facilities would spare me to feed them... I must try this as soon as I get home. |

Sloppyhousewife: It does, but it has poor hunger satisfaction value, probably because they mostly throw it in the air rather than eating it. The Baby Controller automatically uses it as a fallback mode if there are no bottles and the toddler has gotten REALLY hungry! I remember when Ness thought of that idea. If the hunger value weren't so crap, I would make it the DEFAULT position! Also, gimme that edible paste. AWESOMELAND NEEDS IT! |

Toddlers also eat sand on beach lots. I assume the hunger value on that is crap as well?

Thanks for that link, Elvie. It helps alot. Dea, the label may look a little weird because it's in Simlish, not English.  To everyone else: Wow, I made this for my own twisted amusement. I didn't think anyone else would want it. Unfortunately, edible paste is not yet safe for public consumption. The tutorial I used didn't cover cloning anything other than cake and getting this to work required some improvised BHAV editing. I'm a total n00b at that kind of stuff. There are still many problems I have to work out. For example, when I repositioned the paste top mesh to work with the teen/adult animations, I borked it for the kids. Now every time Alex Goth goes to take a bite of paste, he sticks himself in the eye with the brush. I suspect kids and adults are going to need separate utensil meshes, but right now I have no idea how to change the Eat Interaction to do this. So, I still need to poke at this a bit, maybe read a few more tutorials, ask some questions here or at mts2. If I can't figure it out in a few days, I'll turn over what I have, mesh and code to el presidente or whoever wants to make an awesome version. Other than echo's tutorial on bhavs, can anyone recommend any tutorials or posts that might be helpful? I can haz klew? |
