Any way to Remove Badges rather than just set them to Bronze or some crap likeit

[Mackson]

Ok so I'm really fed up with having to pay some of my workers more than others just because they have BS badges to tasks they are never going to perform, mainly townies.

Does anybody know how I can remove their uneeded badges so that I don't have to pay them more than other co-workers performing the same task? It's unjust!

Please help for great justice!

[Motoki]

There's a number of hacks and cheats to do this, including but not limited to the infamous 'boolprop'. 

[Mackson]

And still You can't mention any working examples? I've tried a whole load of things including boolprop but I'm not getting anywhere!

Thanks for nothing, bud.

[Motoki]

Ever hear of being resourceful and getting off your lazy ass?

Gee, I wonder if the option called the BADGE JUICER might have anything to do with badges? Hmm... 

[Mackson]

It can't remove the badges with badge juicer, only set them from bronze to gold.

[Motoki]

Okay well then let's see. The Insimenator and SimPE seem to be able to do most everything else. Maybe, just MAYBE they might be able to remove badges.

[Renatus]

Jumping right into hostility because the first response is not the one you wanted is a good way to get no help at all. Have you actually tried the badge juicer to find out that badges can't be removed with it? If so, you should have stated that and anything else you tried in your first post.

InSim does have options relating to badges and may be able to remove them, but it may simply emulate the same functionality of the badge juicer; it may be that your only option is SimPE until/if the time comes that some enterprising modder wants to do something about it.

[Motoki]

No Insim can remove them because I've done it. I've never used the badge juicer so I admit I was just assuming there.

SimPE can do it too.

In general, 95% of character editing can be done with either SimPE or Insimenator or both. If there's something I want to edit about a character, I always try one of those two first and between the two I can almost always do what I want to do.

[Renatus]

Good to know! I just popped over and looked at the documentation, and since it only said something about adding badges I wasn't sure.

[C.S.]

I may be hallucinating, but I thought I saw the badge juicer has an option to 'clear badges'? That doesn't remove badges?

[Motoki]

When I went through the very tedious process about of rolling random badges for all my 'playable townies' (playable sims I made with the intention of never playing but just to have as friends and breeding material etc) I accidentally assigned a couple the wrong badge and was able to remove it with the Insimenator.

Okay I just checked and confirmed. No you aren't hallucinating. It's there look:

Not sure if it clears one or clears them all, but even if it does clear them all, it's easy enough to set the ones you actually want back after you clear them.

[Renatus]

Ah, so our boy here just jumped to conclusions and was rude about it rather than doing the least bit of footwork himself. Way to go, Mackson!

[Ancient Sim]

JM has mentioned that he is planning a mod (or addition to a current mod, not sure) that will not include non-relevant badges when wages are calculated.

[MissDoh]

Now now... what I think is maybe Mackson have no idea of how to make a townie selectable so he can actually use boolprop on it to clear the badges.

There is a mind control mirror you can get that can do that.. I just don't remember where to get *sigh*.

But then again, if I am not mistaken, you can make any Sim selectable using the "testing cheats" right?

[Ruann]

Yup.  And it actually works now.  Turn testing cheats on (boolprop testingCheatsEnabled true), shift+click on the sim, select "Make Selectable".  Very useful for when you are aging up townies using the agesims cheat so that you can give them normal Aspirations (instead of teens with Grow-Up as their aspiration).

[C.S.]

Mind Control Mirror is available on simchaotics.com.

I can't recall exactly right now, but if  Mackson is talking about townie teens, then s/he may be right that

It can't remove the badges with badge juicer, only set them from bronze to gold.

but there's always the agesimscheat.

Edit: no option to remove the badges not because they are townies, but because they are teens.

[Mackson]

Motoki:

Thanks for recommending SimPE, I tried it first and couldn't find my way around to the badges. But your recommendation encouraged me to give it another go and I was able to remove badges without any problems by deleting their badges in their memories. (something I had in mind at first but didn't expect would work). I'm not sure about "Insimenator" but It doesn't look like I will be needing it for now.

Renatus:

For the hostility part, I disagree.

Now about the badge juicer, You're only half-right about the "clear badge" option being there.

Fact - If you're playing a teen you CAN'T clear any badges at all with the Badge Juicer. Don't believe me anyone? Just go and see for yourself!

I'm not sure what conclusion you believe I have jumped to, but I will tell you what it is: I jumped to the conclusion that you guys were familiar with the Badge Juicer lacking options. But I myself was not aware of the "clear badge..." option being there for adults.

Missdoh + Ruann:

I already know how to make them selectable, no worries.

To all:

My apologies for leaving stuff out, I had the urge to resolve this a bit quickly. I will try to take the time to be as detailed as possible from now on about any other problems I might encounter that I can't seem to find any way out of, ok?

CuriousSpurious is correct!

Is that cheat reversible btw? If not I prefer to edit them with SimPE intill something better pops up, like maybe a patch that will fix this.

[MissDoh]

The agesimscheat is reversible at any time.

What I would suggest you do is age it up to adult, make your changes and you can right after age it down again to teen and save your lot.

I made many Sims I was curious of how they will look when older age up and then down with no problem ingame.

Actually you can select what age group directly you want it to reach instead of just being able to grow-up.

Edit:  Don't worry about all this, some members here are just grumpy some days (but of course not always).

Edit2:  You are right Ness his/her first reply was rude and Motoki 1st reply did not encourage in any way such kind of reply.  I did not really read it at 1st but read it now.

[Ness]

Mackson, you seem to be the only person who doesn't view your response to Motoki as hostile.

It's just downright rude!

In text-based communication you need to be really careful how you say something or it is very easy to get the wrong impression.  One post misintepreted can colour the entire way you are perceived in a forum!

So whats the debug command for removing badges, or - I guess I could do some homework and see if it's on any pie menus. 

[ZiggyDoodle]

Thanks for nothing, bud.

I gotta jump in here - the above statement was crude and rude.

As my momma used to say: you can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. Bud.

[Mackson]

Wow, Just wow, I made a slight insult just becuase I first got a relatively useless answer and everyone is shitcanning me in retaliation. At least Motoki became more helpful along the way and didn't seem to take it so personal unlike you, The Internet sure is serious business for some of you people (if not most)!



Well I'm off, got stuff to do.

[idtaminger]

So whats the debug command for removing badges, or - I guess I could do some homework and see if it's on any pie menus. 

I don't think it's so much a debug command as an option on a spawned object.

Wow, Just wow, I made a slight insult just becuase I first got a relatively useless answer and everyone is shitcanning me in retaliation.

And the insult was necessary b/c??? If you didn't realize, most pple don't take to assholes very kindly. Especially lazy ones. With your social skills, I'm sure you fare so well IRL.  Toodles!
