Title: Maxis Modular Stairs Passage Fix Post by: Lord Darcy on 2008 October 08, 15:24:47 (http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff243/creamgray/The%20Sims%202/LD_StairModularPassageFix_01.jpg) This mod enables Sims to pass directly through under all Maxis modular stairs, just like base game Holy Smoke stairs. Even without this mod, most objects are usable when you force them under the modular stairs with moveobjects cheat on. But there are some exceptions like bookcases. Without this mod, Sims will complain route blockage when they're trying to reach bookcases placed under the modular stairs. With this mod installed, you can place 1-tiled objects on the "bridge" tile (the one where Sims walk through) without moveobjects cheat on. (See the screenshot below.) Sims can freely use objects placed on the "bridge" tile. Especially useful for bookcases. (http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff243/creamgray/The%20Sims%202/LD_StairModularPassageFix_02.jpg) Existing modular stairs need to be deleted and replaced to pick up the change. Only for modular stairs. Will not work on staircases. Choose only one version, depending on your preference.
To fix the custom modular stairs in the same way, extract one of "CT - No Supports?" BHAVs from this mod, add it to your custom modular stairs, and change the group to 0xFFFFFFFF. Installation: Place in your My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Downloads folder. (Or in a subfolder of Downloads folder.) Changelog: v1.0: Initial release.

In Base Game is only the Holy Smoke Stairs, that has no supports under. Can you please make this mod separat for Holy Smoke Stairs ?

Can you please make this mod separat for Holy Smoke Stairs ? Why the Holy Smoke Stairs already has the "CT - No Supports?" bhav added to it? so why do you need a mod re-adding it? ???

Can you please make this mod separat for Holy Smoke Stairs ? Uh... the entire point of this mod is to make all Maxis modular stairs mimic Holy Smoke Stairs. The "CT - No Supports?" BHAV was originally extracted from Holy Smoke Stairs, which allowed passage since base game. Title: Re: Maxis Modular Stairs Passage Fix Post by: fway on 2008 October 15, 07:39:03 Mhmm, if I download this will downloaded stairs be recognized? Or will we have to inform the creator (for example Crocobaura has done some "open-underneath" stairs) about this new technology? ;D
Once again, baaaaa. Title: Re: Maxis Modular Stairs Passage Fix Post by: Lord Darcy on 2008 October 15, 11:11:46 This fix is only for Maxis modular stairs. Like centerpiece BHAV, you have to add "CT - No Supports?" BHAV to custom stairs.
To fix the custom modular stairs in the same way, extract one of "CT - No Supports?" BHAVs from this mod, add it to your custom modular stairs, and change the group to 0xFFFFFFFF. I did think of those open-underneath modular stairs by crocobaura and Reyn. It would be great if they're updated to support this feature. ETA: Looks like Reyn's stairs already have their own custom BHAVs with similar effect. |
