Title: Custom butlers possible? Post by: EsotericPolarBear on 2008 October 06, 15:25:18 The answer is probably no, but would it be possible to allow for custom butlers on a per lot basis?
i.e. Could I make a Zombie butler or Servo butler or whatnot that performed exactly as a normal butler, including the whole NPC bit so I don't have to babysit them? But that would only be used on one lot with different butlers for different lots? Admittedly, I don't understand much about the sims code because I'm lazy and it does seem that this would be fairly difficult to do, unless the code was co-opted to perform the same actions under a different function. But is it possible? Title: Re: Custom butlers possible? Post by: ingeli on 2008 October 06, 15:44:05 I am patiently waiting for Christianlov to get the time to update his mods. He has stated he eventually will. Find his old one here: http://linna.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=286864 (http://linna.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=286864), they work fairly well for making NPC:s also with AL, just not butlers yet.

But wouldn't that make the entire neighborhood have a zombie butler? Title: Re: Custom butlers possible?

That wouldn't really accomplish anything. Title: Re: Custom butlers possible? Post by: aubreylaraine on 2008 October 09, 22:13:20 That wouldn't really accomplish anything. that would sort of be what you're looking for. make the first butler a zombie via making him selectable. in the next household cancel the zombie and it will spit out another human butler, change him to what ever you want. it's a little time consuming, but anything worth while is. on the other hand i think doing it this way gives you an extended "friendly" pie menu with all the options of a visiting sim. i never thought to make the service sims anything else, but now i'm going to have a plantsim gardner.

Post by: aubreylaraine on 2008 October 11, 19:07:29 i reinstalled and have not had any farmers yet to need the pestacides. the few that are fortunate enough to have a small plot in the overcrowded asphalt jungle take care of pests quickly. as well they should if they want fresh food. but i do believe you are correct that they do eventually plantsimize themselves.
