Computer Madness Fix (Updated 26 March 2006 OFB)

[crammyboy]

Should fix the problem of sims walking up to a computer that is in use and stomping their feet.

Compatible with NL and UNI

Download the OFB version for OFB.

Thank you! Installing it right now!

[Sleepycat]

Thank you for this one and the dormie assignment fix! 

it's very annoying when they bitch about 1 computer thats in use when theres 5 others right there that aren't being used 

[RainbowTigress]

Thank you this is great!   It never made any sense to me that they would go up to a computer that someone is using and throw a fit!

[Emma]

Another thing I didn't know I wanted until I saw it! lol
Thankyou

[Andygal]

OMG! this IS GREAT!

That has been my biggest annoyance for ages! Thank you!

[TrueRoyalty]

I have been looking EVERYWHERE for this hack!!  I was going to request it on MTS2, but then I found this and nearly teared up from joy.  OH- you just don't KNOW how happy I am!! THANK YOU!!!!

Always,
 Emma

Makes twisted sense to me, since my kids did that when they shared a computer. I'm still grateful that I can stop my Sims from doing it!

[themaltesebippy]

Oh lord man.  This is really needed.  They do it when there's another computer available too!!  Thanks yo.

It's not just computers in my game, they also do it with musical instruments, baths, toilets ... it's whenever someone they're 3-bolts in love with is using it, they want to use it as well.  Even if they've just had a bath, they want another one, or they want to clean the thing when their beloved is in it.  Drives me absolutely crazy.  If it were possible to put them in the bath and throw an electric fire in with them, I would.  No, seriously, I mean it.

That drives me crazy too. When I first got NL I always tried to get the  bolts as high as possible with married couples, but now I purposely will not let sims marry if they have three bolts. I've had sims almost die because they had three bolts with their partner. They'd rather clean the toilet that their partner is using than eat, even when their hunger is almost at minimum. It's ridiculous.

Thanks crammyboy for this hack. Yet another annoyance gone.

Ahhh great..I've really needed this.

[Meek_Monkey]

Is this compatable with OFB or dont I need it.

[Sleepycat]

Is this compatable with OFB or dont I need it.

knowing Maxis, we still need it  so I hope it still works!

[Suni]

I have OFB and oh yes they are still obsessed with wanting to turn off the computer when someones using it, stomping feet and hissy fits included. I took this hack out before installing OFB but i'm going to test it tonight to make sure its working for OFB. I'll let ya know if its working with OFB. 

[jsalemi]

I installed OFB last night and left all of cboy's hacks in, and so far they all seem to work.

[Sleepycat]

CBoy are there any known problems with Family Fun Stuff or Glamour Pack?

I haven't had any problems with it and I have FFS & GL 

[jrd]

beosboxboy: FFS and GLS are nearly identical to OFBp2. Any hack which conflicts with them probably won't work in OFB either.

[missaaliyah]

Thank you, I just want to smack those sims silly, when they do that.

What they are trying to do is switch off the computer.  It get on my nerves,  I killed a sim because of it.   

[LynnMar]

Can I use this with Pets.  I need it badly.   thanks

[Tina G]

Yea. I'd like to know the answer too.

[Sleepycat]

I have it in (with Pets) but haven't really tested it, I think syberspunk listed it as ok

[floopyboo]

The stomping of feet returned for me with gls (and still remains with pets) - which may mean I have an out of date hack or it may mean that it's not working. Or it could just mean that I never downloaded the right file in the first place. *screams, gets in a huff, tries to shut off fiance's compy whilst he's playing WOW, does stompy foot thing & waves snottily.*

Well, it (the ofb version) appears to be working so far. Anything else?

[Dopp]

It works with Pets so far for me. 120 sim days and no complaints.

[KevinTMC]

Could this hack be the reason why I kept getting jump bugs with Monique's computer?

Code:

Or is that conflict report a false alarm?
