Title: No autonomous computer games Post by: Marvin Kosh on 2007 March 14, 16:20:38 I checked out the hack that is mentioned here (http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php?topic=150.0) but I'm reasonably certain it's not meant to stop Sims from autonomously playing SSX on the console (the one that sits in front of the TV) and if it was, it doesn't work in Seasons.
The reason I ask is that while I was testing the new EP out, I noticed that every time a visitor's Fun dropped just a tiny bit he would wander over, pick up a game controller, play for about five seconds, and then stop. And then repeat. So, I'm thinking that either there should be a motive check before playing and/or that visitors should only play when invited to, or when there's a party going on.

A quick way to fix that annoyance, if you want, is to set the "play" to 0x0064 (non autonomous) in pie menu resource.

Title: Re: No autonomous computer games Post by: Marvin Kosh on 2007 March 15, 16:26:19 Well when I'm done testing things out, maybe I'll go look for a different game that I can drop in.
Then again, they're just Sims, they're not really going to know the difference if I trade their snowboarding game for GTA. Incidentally, the head-to-head gaming seems to be over rather quickly much like the vanilla fighting. Sims should at least try for best two out of three before conceding defeat, unless of course they're not very playful. |
