Title: In Game (Annoying) Message Boxes
Post by: Simgoose on 2008 March 07, 06:09:59
ok, FreeTime has tipped me over the edge, and now I'm looking for a solution
I am sick and tired of the bloody hobbiests popping up saying, "you loosing enthusiasm for some crap"
not only that but the message box that comes up saying your sims have gained a logic skill, etc.

please some one...
tell me there is light at the end of this friggen tunnel and a way to disable these types of boxes?

some of them i would like to keep, ie bills needing to be paid etc. but not ones relating to skills or loosing enthusiasm.
im sure there are other ones that are annoying, but this is a start.

anyone got any tips or ideas or mods/hacks to limit/get rid of these??

There's a thread stickied at the top of this forum section for "Where Can I Find..." requests. Have you tried nohobbyspam from the Free Time (http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/ffs/index.php?dir=ft%2Fhacks%2F) directory?

yeah im pretty sure that is in my DL dir.
but it still doesn't effect the skill spam messages etc.
ill have a look at the nohobbyspam package
see if its possible to edit with related code for skill messages.
unless there is one floating around that will do this already.

Nohobbyspam is a blessing (BAA!) but it doesn't stop the spam that tells you sims are losing enthusiam. These messages were driving me nuts last night. I got FT so that my sims would have more fun things to do, not so that I could become a slave to their hobbies.

I stopped those 'your losing enthusiam' messages with a hack that stops the enthusiam decay (and another for the zone effects). Its' by Carrigon at the sims2workshop.

Sure the stupid messages will still come up, but at least you won't see them anymore.

Next nohobbyspam squelches this. Unimportant hobbies no longer pop-up. Suppression effect on having performed a hobby extended to a more meaningful duration, I.E., if you've done it recently, you don't immediately lose the point right afterwards.
