FFS "Batbox" Lot Debugger v2.0: NUCLEAR WAR EDITION

[Kyna]

Pes, not meaning to be lary but why did you include the DECIMATE option? for testing purposes?

Yes. It's also buried in the Shift-CLICK only options and comes with a warning box saying not to use it. Let me guess, despite all the obstacles involved in finding it, you pushed the button anyway?

no, i havent got the .lot debugger as i keep hax to aminumum

The lot debugger is a MUST HAVE in my game.  It's the first thing to go on a lot when I move a family in.

[morriganrant]

No, I don't have the lot debugger, as I keep hacks to a minimum.

The lot debugger is not a hack. It's a handy dandy fix device for when random shit on your lot goes wrong.

I should add a KILL EMMA button that will find and kill the nearest Emma.

It would probably FAIL.

[witch]

GO EMMA!!!

I get an error on "Make Me... Plantsim". Zombie works fine, just not Plantsim.

Error log attached.

[J. M. Pescado]

Caused by a Seasons-without-BV incompatibility in vampwerefixes. Fixed now.

[friendlyquark]

I have it on all my lots, to the extent that my three year old niece comes over and plays "find the batman box" on my lots and squeals when she finds it. LOL I would not play without it, EAxis borks far too many things and I would be homicidal without it.

[J. M. Pescado]

Heh, that sounds hilarious. Find the Batman Box. Tell me more about this. Do you re-hide it after she finds it?

Does the SET/REMOVE LIFETIME WANT BIT work with Enthusiasm permaplats?
My second generation sims are reaching permaplat status via Enthusiasm about five days into adulthood and the third gen aren't making it halfway through Uni.  This is very annoying so I tried to toggle/turn it off. It didn't work on any sims. Am I correct in assuming it won't toggle off because the sims haven't actually reached/acheived their LTW and therefore that function doesn't apply?

If so, is there any other way of turning this particular shade of permaplat off?

[J. M. Pescado]

I am not familiar with permaplat status granted by enthusiasm. Can you be more specific?

[Jelenedra]

I think they mean the new lifetime aspiration bar. The one that grants perma-plat status once filled.

What she said.

[Charamei]

Regarding hood decimation, I have to ask: what testing purpose is fulfilled by randomly culling 10% of the population?

[J. M. Pescado]

It's a lot like a random toading.

[MaximilianPS]

I have to say that FFS LD is addicting 
but i've a suggestion/request take it as you wish.

I notice that my dormies at the university have many many many many memories "i made pee" or "I fell asleep  the middle of the road"

So just to clean a bit more the sims memory, what do you think about "clean irrelevant dupes from memory?"
so when a sim have 2 ore more sequence it should be reduced to 1

[J. M. Pescado]

This is probably why townies receive a memory wipe on move-in.

I have done a search on this thread regarding careers, but I haven't found the answer to this question or at least am not sure:

If I have an adult and with the Lot Debugger apply the want slots/locks and a Uni graduation, and give him a diploma, will he then be able to start in any career at the same level regular Uni students do, when they move out of Uni?

Or does he only really have the slots/lock and will start any career at the same level as adults without a Uni degree?

Using the option to upgrade a pre-uni sim makes them the same as a sim that actually went to uni  (minus all the spam memories), so yes, they'll get the same job options.

[Kyna]

They won't get a job from the computer at level 8 or 9, though.  That's only for sims who graduated with honours.  Sims upgraded with the lot debugger are seen as graduates without honours.

[pepsihamster]

Thank you both 

[J. M. Pescado]

Using the option to upgrade a pre-uni sim makes them the same as a sim that actually went to uni  (minus all the spam memories), so yes, they'll get the same job options.

Actually, if the sim hasn't already experienced certain events which would wreck continuity, for instance, a fresh CAS sim, the relevant memories for a speedrun would be added in the latest version.

They won't get a job from the computer at level 8 or 9, though.  That's only for sims who graduated with honours.  Sims upgraded with the lot debugger are seen as graduates without honours.

That was fixed ages ago, when it was found that the upgrade was not complete. It now correctly sets all the relevant data.

[witch]

Yeah, I noticed they get the star now, I used to just set that in SimPE anyway.

I always add the uni stuff via debugger, Uni is so terminally boring I haven't played it since a month or two after it came out. I just pretend my sims went off-world and did it, so I don't have to. Mainly it's the want slots I require anyway. Plus, I give my sims jobs from the paper so they start at a lower level, the real life uni graduates I know don't tend to start near the top of career paths.

[jsalemi]

harderjobs also keeps them from starting quite so high if you use the computer.

[witch]

Yes, well, I was being a bit cheaty when I said newspaper. I meant shift-click on the newspaper. I usually give them about level 4-5.

Speaking as someone who actually likes playing uni (not that I actually concentrate much on getting the blighters to study), I only use the debugger for CAS adults and townies that "move in".  I think poor sims are more fun to play than rich ones anyway, so I never cheat on jobs.  They take what they can get.  Most uni grads I know started at the bottom of the ladder (well, maybe not in the mail room, but certainly at the photocopier).  I recall several "I went to uni for this?" type jobs, before I managed to find something slightly more worthwhile.
