Made by: Flying Fish Systems (Doctor Boris)

Congratulations to: Draklixa!

Special Thanks To:
Hobbsee the Scrawny Pencil Neck

BlueSoup, Fat Head

INSTRUCTIONS:
Place in your MYDOCU~1\EAGAME~1\THESIM~1\DOWNLO~1 directory.

ANNOYANCES ELIMINATED:
Sims that don't need coats because they can't freeze should no longer bother
to waste time wearing them. Because it's all about the cape.

COMPATIBILITY:
This hack is fully compatible with all FFS hacks. For TS2Seasons.

SIDE EFFECTS:
May cause computer damage, incontinence, explosion of user's head, coma, death,
and/or halitosis.

WARNING:
Do not open, crush, dispose of in fire, put in backwards, short-circuit, or mix
with non-awesome hacks - may explode, leak, or catch fire, resulting in injury
and/or death.

Dumbass question, but who doesn't need a coat?

[Pyromaniac]

So the Sims will automatically change into coats when the weather is cold enough to freeze, but they'll stay in their normal clothes if the temperature's warm enough?

(By the way, are you Pescado or something?)

[kislio]

Dumbass question, but who doesn't need a coat?

Vampires, I'm guessing, judging by the cape comment.

[kutto]

In theory, Pescado could be several people, and Doctor Boris, who rarely posted before, is just being used because one Pescado is on strike because SimPE irriates him, and another Pescado still wants new mods.

Of course, this is all just theory...

[Flamingo]

I was thinking the exact same thing earlier, Kutto.

[J. M. Pescado]

That is an idiotic Kutto theory. Besides, Boris has an independently verifiable existence running back years. And he runs the other server.

Again I ask who doesn't need a coat? lol

Vampires

ahhh sorry dense moment. Has anyone made a hack to have them stop auto changing when going in and out?

[J. M. Pescado]

...yeah. This one.

Does this stop them from ever changing their coats (as in, we have to direct them to do it manually with this in)?  Or does it just stop the 'change coats to walk out the front door, around the house and in the back door' thing?

No, the automated coat change is still there. The "walk in, change out of coat, head through house, change back into coat, go out back door" thing is being looked into.

[Karen]

Does this turn off the changing into coats in summer?  If it doesn't, would you consider it?  Having Sims change into outerwear to go outside in the summertime is just silly and a waste of time, in my opinion.

[J. M. Pescado]

It's based on temperature detection, so if for some reason it is exceptionally cold, they will.

[Jelenedra]

Usually happens during nightfall, I guess it gets cold. =P

It was kinda funny watching a guy's date leave his house in a big fur coat, even though she didn't have it when she left.

[Sam]

Aliright, I've just got to ask: Everyone here are saying vampires don't need coats but mine at least still get cold, is that normal? Cause if they still get cold they'd still need coats wouldn't they...? Come to think of it, that'd apply to plant sims too, I nearly froze mine

[Jelenedra]

A vamp's temp may change, but they can never FREEZE. So they don't need the coat to prevent being frozen.

[Sam]

Aaah, I get it now. Phew! Thanks

This is a nice idea, but it keeps sending my sim out into the snow in everyday wear, and when I dress the sim manually in outerwear when he runs through the house to reach the back garden after finishing out front, he changes once again into everyday wear which is rather annoying.

I think the problem is that it's looking for sim temperature instead of the actual outside temperature, so when I warm my sims up before sending them outside so they can last longer, it thinks they will overheat and sticks them in everyday wear instead which defeats the object.

That is a default Maxian behavior, not influenced by this.

It's looking at outdoor temperature. However, if the temperature CHANGES after auto-changes, the Maxian code involved freaks out. The entire outerwear thing is just done kinda dodgylike. The matter is under investigation in an attempt to improve this.

[miramis]

Isn't everything they do 'kinda dodgylike' 

I'll check in on this one again at a later date, when the investigation is over maybe.

[breyerii]

As our own Lìder Maximo once said, "the only way Maxis is ever going to make something that doesn't suck is if they start manufacturing vacuum cleaners".

[morriganrant]

this is awesome, the vamps look a little silly in sweaters that don't suit them and still doing their "Bleh" routine. Did amuse me for a bit though.
A werewolf wearing a sweater is kinda funny ...i just keep imagining all those dogs whose owners insist they have clothes on. Poor things

Anyone working on/created (and i'm just blind and missed it) one of these for the ghosts?

[Entgleichen]

Could it somehow be made that sims who go back indoor don't change from outdoor wear into underwear or whatever they weared before they went outside? A normal behaviour would be that someone who takes off outdoor wear still has his everyday clothes on (there may be exceptions).
