Anyway to stop Sims autonomously taking photo-booth pictures?
« on: 2011 February 16, 16:30:07 »
THANKS THIS IS GREAT

My current neighbourhood has 202 Sim character files totaling 118MB. Some of these files were over 2MBs in size and I investigated further.

In nearly every instance the cause of the large size of character file was due to the Sim having photo booth pictures in their inventory. The Sims with 3 photo booth pictures had the largest files. (Just from my observations it seems Sims don't have more than 3 photos taken autonomously in their inventory - maybe a limitation?)

I had a Sim throw several large parties, selected all Sims and deleted the photo-booth pictures in their inventories. The result was the character files reduced in size from a total of 118MB to 90MB, nearly a 25% reduction.

Just a couple of examples:-

Sim A character file 2.25MB - after deleting 3 photo-booth pictures size reduced to 268KB
Sim B character file 2.09MB - after deleting 3 photo-booth pictures size reduced to 267KB

Is there a hack available to stop this behaviour?, I Googled but failed to find anything, but I'm old and senile and fail at a lot of things.

On a separate note, are the Sim's memories stored in their character files? Using the Bat-box I deleted trash memories, and even when some Sims had over 50 memories deleted there was no noticeable reduction in size of the character files.

In my game, sims never take photo-booth pictures autonomously.
This is why I guess that it is a mod making your sims doing that at all.

FWIW, I have no photo-booth-related mods, and I have had uncontrollable sims autonomously take photos, though it only seems to happen once in a blue moon.  Probably your lots just need more distractions.

Try the Autonomy Controller. You can use it to proscribe annoying objects.
