Title: Adding study options to bookcases Post by: Scratch on 2007 April 01, 04:52:28 So... now that i've gained some confidence editing objects so they work better in the game, i thought i'd try to add some extra options to a few objects... :o
I thought this might be an easy one to work on.... adding extra study options to inge's sensible bookcase's. What I did was add an extra BHAV for each skill... added pie string for each BHAV and added an interaction for each skill i added. Of course, things are never that easy. I got the error "Hit Break Point Primitive". Is it because simmies normally can't study these skills from the bookcase? Would I need some global mod to be able to study extra skills from the bookcase? I remember trying one a while ago that allowed studying all skills from the bookcase but it screwed up inge's bookcases and i like the idea of simmies autonomously studying skills based on personality. Should i start off with something even easier? Am i asking the impossible? edit: 100th post...yay!!

Title: Re: Adding study options to bookcases Post by: Scratch on 2007 April 01, 06:18:48 Thanks SaraMK.. I didn't know there was one around... I'll take a look
edit: Unfortunately, that's the global mod that i had before... :( The title of the thread on MTS2 is a little misleading... Title: Re: Adding study options to bookcases Post by: Scratch on 2007 April 01, 18:19:27 I gave the global hack a shot again with my modified bookcase and still get the same error... I can direct the simmie to use a regular bookcase and study any skill but not the modified ones....
I just like the idea of sims studying skills autonomously... I'm going to keep plowing away on this... Title: Re: Adding study options to bookcases Post by: LadyLiberty on 2007 April 02, 07:08:29 Scratch,
Go for it! I have often wished for the very same thing. I wish you much success, and look forward to it :D Title: Re: Adding study options to bookcases Post by: dizzy on 2007 April 02, 11:26:58 It's not quite as simple as normal objects. Bookcases push interactions with books onto sims, and what you're probably running into is a missing interaction index for the book. So I guess what you need is a custom book to go with your custom bookcase.

but i'm looking at some other things to play with... instead of this |
