Awesomemod Request Thread

[Mylinda Antoinette]

There is one thing that constantly bothers me about the game.  How come sims with the nausea moodlet still get hungry?  Wouldn't it make more sense if their hunger motive froze when they get nauseous?

Is that something you could fix?

[Madame Mim]

Not having been pregnant myself I can't speak with complete certainty, but I don't think it works that way. I think people tend to starve to death if they don't eat - probably faster if they also have growing parasites and vomiting.

[coltraz]

Where did this person mention pregnancy? The nauseous moodlet doesn't come solely from pregnancy. You've never had a flu before, or food poisoning? One's appetite isn't exactly blossoming when they're hunched over a toilet retching.

[Madame Mim]

And the result of what she is suggesting would have the largest impact on pregnant sims. The other occurences of nausea are temporary in comparison, and even then sick people need to eat even if they don't want to. You have to remember that the hunger motive is your blood sugar, not your om nom nom drive.

[jezzer]

Apparently they think your body magically draws nutrients from the air when you're nauseated.

[HomeschooledByTards]

Nausea can also sometimes be cured by eating. It doesn't always work, but a lot of times some crackers or soup will settle your stomach and you'll feel fine again.

[coltraz]

Aye, but in this game hunger and om nom nom drive is one in the same. Sim loses hunger motive, Sim seeks food, even if realistically they may NEED food but not want to eat. What would be cool is a "No Appetite" moodlet where your Sim will reject player's demands to forage and then starve themselves to death in the process.

[jezzer]

Yeah, that would be really fucking awesome and incredibly useful.

[coltraz]

What, you think that was a serious request? Are you stupid?

[jezzer]

Well, it was an idiotic request, and you're kind of an idiot, so I don't know why it would suddenly be beyond the scope of reason to assume that you were serious.

[J. M. Pescado]

Let's just drop this line of inquiry right now, because I'm not doing it. If you REALLY want to do that, AwesomeMod includes a plugin functionality for use with the Undiscovered Shiny that you can use to write your own plugin. But that's an advanced topic that goes beyond the scope of what a drooler like you is probably capable of. So yeah, y'all just go back to drooling into your bibs and staring derpily at the wall.

Would it be possible to hide plumbobs and speech/thought bubbles separately from each other? Right now it's sort of an all-or-nothing choice with hideheadlineeffects, which can get annoying sometimes since I like the speech bubbles but the plumbob annoys me to no end. I guess skill bars could be lumped in here too, since they also get hidden with the other stuff anyways.

[coltraz]

Well, it was an idiotic request, and you're kind of an idiot, so I don't know why it would suddenly be beyond the scope of reason to assume that you were serious.

Well, now you'll know for next time that assuming makes an ass out of you. But then, so does all the rest of your hilarious "wit" you mercilessly salt each thread with.

I would like to see some functionality that allows users to delete relationships from the relationship panel like with Twallan's RelationshipPanel mod: http://nraas.wikispaces.com/RelationshipPanel+Phase+Five

I would use AM and this together, but they both use the ctrl-click keystroke. Since the RelationshipPanel mod overrides AM's ctrl-click functionality in the relationship panel, they are incompatible. Would like to see some way to delete relationships from the relationship panel in AM regardless!

Thanks.

Hey Pescado and crew, just wondering what your thoughts are on considering this as a mod to the relationship panel in AM and/or if there's any other way to do this currently via AM or another scripting mod that isn't documented.

[J. M. Pescado]

Deleting relationships doesn't serve any clear functional purpose to do casually, and may actually negatively affect aspects of the game, such as disrupting scoring counters of how many sims your sim has encountered for achievement purposes. The game already performs its own cleanup when a sim is deleted, anyway. I may consider it as a debug functionality. Just what kind of problem are you attempting to resolve this way?

I found that my relationship panel inflates itself pretty quickly with "acquaintance" relationships and tends to get pretty crowded/overstuffed with these. I found that simply ctrl-clicking the desired sims that I would never come in contact again with seemed pretty convenient and kept my relationship panel from getting over-bloated.

I understand some people may find this irrelevant and risky, but I'm sure lots of other people may find this handy like me!

Thanks for your consideration Pescado!

Plugin? Undiscovered Shiny? I would like to formally request information about these two topics: May I have information about AwesomeMod plugin capability and the Undiscovered Shiny?

I notice there are several oversights with the DJ booth. Was wondering if some changes could be incorporated into Awesomemod.

- There is a DJ Service NPC for hire in the game but DJs don't actually appear on community lots, where they would actually be of some use. It's kinda stupid how most of the Showtime venues are silent unless you actually send your sim to do the damn job themselves.
- When a sim starts using a DJ booth, it doesn't automatically disable other music sources in the room like the instruments do. You have to manually disable/enable stereos, which is annoying, or otherwise allow your ears to bleed.
- The LN dance floors require music to be playing in order for sims to dance. Apparently an active DJ booth doesn't count. I'm guessing this is probably something to do with the music from the DJ booth actually being made up of sound effects. But whatever it is, it's still stupid.
-Making a Groove, or whatever, seems to prompt every sim on the lot and in the household to react to this interaction. I had a sim run out of work in the middle of their shift just so they could go home to boo the DJ.

One thing I have noticed is that the Supreme Commander does nothing with the pet skills. I think that the Pet skills should be incorporated into the Supreme Commander. For the hunting skill at least, it should be very similar to the "Collect:..." command for regular Sims.

I've been playing my vampires recently, and the novelty quickly becomes tiresome as the game feels the need to constantly remind me that vampires do not like sunlight (it even admits it is a well known fact-- why the fuck are you telling me then?) every time I order one to bring the newspaper into the house, walk into the garage or go to work. Maybe Awesomemod should change this so that this warning is only thrown up when a vampire is being a retard and has already been standing out in the sun for long enough to get a well done crisp going.

Because at the moment, it's creating a boy who cried wolf effect where I just click away the warning every single time and find out the vampire has been chilling in the sun for the past 5 hours when the camera pans over to him starving to death. When you switch households, the warning is thrown up when vampires are about to die; instead of when they've walked onto the front porch, since the game has been making them play in the sun while I've been occupied on another household. So while I expect to click away this warning as yet another pointless EAxian reminder, I have to micromanage my vampire households. It's just a pain in the ass. It could have been a warning for imminent death, but it's pestering me every time they briefly go outside. I don't know when to ignore the warning or not because it doesn't throw up the warning when it's appropriate.

One thing I really like with AM is that way famblies must have a crib to have babies. I'm wondering if you could do the same thing with the pet dish and horse water troughs. That way, no horses in the tiny houses I build for my poor sims. No animals living in a house where they can't be fed, either.

[Basilo]

Of course, with the new 1.38 update EA screwed more stuff up. This time it's the interactions "Tend Garden" "Harvest" and "Weed plant" They used to have your sim do all of the plants on the lot, but now they only do 1-5, and they seem to snap into a different animation when they're done, as well as the occasional teleportation. Would you mind fixing this?

[floopyboo]

I am recalling with fondness my favourite pes-creation from sims 2 - SMITE! I hereby put in a request for smiting, the meteor shower would be wonderful for it - and no, I don't care about collatoral damage, what self-respecting deity does?

Can we please have 'rocks fall, everyone dies'?

Is it possible for you to add an option to keep inactive (or only chosen inactive) sims from earning or spending money? Like the option for job performance?

Thanks very much.
