REPOST - No Empty & No Mid-stream Stop Hacks

[ZephyrZodiac]

Oh, American English!

[RainbowTigress]

Of course.

[ElviraGoth]

Oh, American English!

Lol!  Either way sounds right, I guess.  But they all just look wrong!

[jsalemi]

Anyone have copies of these hacks that they can re-upload here?  The originals were lost in the board crash...

[C.S.]

I only have the NoMidStreamStop.

Now my question and apologies in advance if I'd missed any mention of it - are they compatible with OFB? Anyone know?

Yes, they are -- there's a thread up in the Podium about Inge bailing out, and it was mentioned that Inge herself sugested using these because they're more compatible with OFB than her own 'noemptypot' hack.  Phedge's is based on hers, in fact.

Oh, and thank you both for uploading these!

[dadditude]

Gah! Why is it that I didn't find these 'til my toddlers weren't toddlers anymore?!? Oh well... At least I'll have 'em for the next generation!

[Magicmoon]

I don't think the "no empty potty" is the right version. I DL'd the mid stream hack and the no empty potty from this page. The no empty potty is the same size as Inge's, which I removed from my game.

Well, now they have to empty the potty again.

[jsalemi]

Yea, I believe this is Inge's version, not the modified version -- if you use it with the midstream hack, it breaks.  If you take the midstream hack out, it works fine, and the potties don't have to be emptied.

[yetyak]

I have the "stream" version of no empty.

[jsalemi]

I have the "stream" version of no empty.

Yay!  you're a princess among simmers!

Can someone with mod type access tidy-up this thread.

I'd like to use the no mid-stream stop hack but the top of thread post is sans download links.

This is not awesome enough.

The originals were lost in the dish crash.  You can find the nomidstreamstop hack at the bottom of reply #29 in this thread, and the modified noemptypotty in #34.

Thanks Joe,
I suspected those were the correct downloads but I wanted to see some verification cos I'm a bit dim.

[jsalemi]

Yes, they're all correct -- both work fine in my game now.  Thanks to the folks who dug them up!

[Magicmoon]

I've got both of the proper hacks in my game now. I have a few observances. Please tell me if this is normal.

1. Occasionally the toddler still gets off the pot in mid stream, although not as often as before, usually when the parent wants to give them a bottle or bath.

2. The nanny (Christianlov's) and parents are emptying the potty autonomously although I haven't had any problems with the toddlers being able to use the pot if not empty, even when I instruct them to go. When I was using Inge's mod no one ever emptied the pot at all. (If I remember correctly, back before I had any mods in the game no parent ever emptied the pot autonomously either. But then maybe I had lazier or sloppier parents at the time).

Is this normal behavior?

[RainbowTigress]

I had observed this same behavior when I tried it about a year ago.  I don't remember if I had Uni or just the base game, but I went back to using Inge's hack because they would never empty the potty with that one.  It just freaked me out a bit to see parents reaching down between a toddlers legs and yanking out a bag (of poo???).

I've taken the two attachments from yetyak and CuriousSpurious and re-added them to the top post, then removed them from their posts.  Thanks ya'll

Well, since they still get off the pot...and that is what I was trying to stop...I'll probably revert also. First I think I'll experiment a little and find out what makes them get off and what behavior is protected by this mod.

It was kinda gross watching the nanny go through the kitchen to get to that particular bathroom to empty the poo. Especially with the headmaster there. It probably didn't affect anything...it was just the thought.

Thanks for answering.

Yes, I know Necromancy is bad, but since VS is beyond resurrection...has anybody confirmed whether NoMidStreamStop works with Seasons?

I've had it in up until earlier today when I switched over to TJ's version of potty hacks, and it's never given me a problem in Seasons.  Granted, I wasn't specifically checking to make sure they finished up, but nothing struck me as being out of the ordinary, such as a tired toddler spazzing out on me while piddling.

The only thing odd that happened was finally seeing toddlers refusing to be potty trained, but bumping up their fun fixed that issue, and didn't seem to have anything to do with the mod.

So, a qualified yes?
