Which xml tuning file is it where you can change the parameters of the jealous broadcaster?

Just thought I'd try to add more variety than the usual 2. Haven't tested long enough to see if there are actually 4 different or not.

If someone knows the appropriate <AppropriateAgeFlags> setting for Elders that would be cool. I took a guess & set it to 64,seems to work but just making sure.

AppropriateAgeFlags
Child    4
Teen   8
YA      32
Adult   48
Elder   ??

I made an elder babysitter but unfortunately the 3 times I loaded the game they were all males.If interested let me know.

Are you tired of your maid not doing his/her job? No more clowning around.Work I tell you,work!
Not compatible with my changes mod.


Babysitter
No more teen babysitters - (Adults only) Only ran a small test & had no problems with the feeding,changing diapers or paying attention to.Note if you have 8-10 kids don't expect 1 babysitter to do the job....
Compatible with my other mods.

Increased the pool size (workers) to 4 each.

Elder Babysitter....in testing  Works
Problem Noted: Once you use this in your game & decide to remove ,you may have to start a new game if you want the default teens back as there aren't any service elder npc's starting out by default.Only use one or the other sitter packages.

All sims except for slobs will close the lid & wash their hands.No more trying to flush the damn toilets,because they auto flush every time.Also an autoflushtoiletsonly package,with default settings.

Toilets still need cleaned but I have yet seen one that needs plunged.

Updated the file,had missed sleeping in bed.

Been wandering why my sim never gained weight,thanks for clearing that up,like this system much better.

It's possible,which one? Mind you I did get 98 of them right.   Lack of sleep...not a good thing,corrected. lol

If you have the bathe anywhere package,remove it & install this.
Do repairs
Bathe
Use Computer
Clean
Cook
No longer will sims make stupid faces & noises because no one cares!

If I missed something let me know.

*Update:Added 9 missed instances*

Here's all the files you'll need,have fun.

Czezechael has a mod up for slower eating that works fine,unless you'd like an update from me then you'll have no problems using her mod.

The most bites I could get from a plate of pancakes was 28. I also set the food per bite to 5.3 and that filled up the hunger bar when almost in the red. So your 2 times speed looks good,regardless haven't noticed my sim gaining weight when overeating,unlike the previous installment.

You can now Invest,Buyout:

The Mausoleum
Military Base
Police Station
School
City Hall

Titles appear in Inventory & you can collect money once per week.

If this has been already done,what can I say,newbie here.

Fell free to test it.I only tested the shower at an acquaintance home during the day & it worked without interference.

Any interaction to do with mirrors has been lowered!
Brushing teeth no longer takes 20 minutes to complete!

Added as separate package the ability to bathe at anyone's home.In other words 10 people won't be standing at the bathroom door wanting to kick your as*,because it's "Appropriate,not Inappropriate"!

Updated file in 1st post.

Yes,I can make a separate file.Not sure about the longer eating part,the default is 15 bites per meal & I changed it to 8 & adjusted the hunger per bite at 20.

Update: Makeout for sims on sofas & beds has been set to 15 min.,the default was 30.Updated the file in 1st post.

The faster movement speed may conflict with Awesomemod,will change upon request,all needed to do is remove 1 file.

Added as separate package the ability to bathe at anyone's home.In other words 10 people won't be standing at the bathroom door wanting to kick your as*,because it's "Appropriate,not Inappropriate"! Item is finished & complete.

I have one if not already mentioned...

I created a pond on a residential lot,decided to flatten lot in build mode...here's the kicker
My family keeps wanting to fish!I even tried adding new grass.They keep walking around the area where the pond was & have in their cue fish using....

Influence To: Bathe doesn't work on residential lots,but works in Apartments.
Not sure if this has been mentioned yet.Anyone else notice this?

Thanks for the good work & updating this. Have a problem & a question. Can't purchase the love potion or cologne from the shop online Gypsy. It keeps canceling out,I did manage to get a cologne purchase once,no love potion yet.I've used a conflict utility to check compatibility with other hacks in my downloads folder,nothing shows up as a problem.

I've patched my game with the latest patch that was released & removed because of installations issues by EA,installed fine for me though.

Now the question..do loans or deposits accumulate interest in your bank online?
