Seasons p0 Energizer Fix

[J. M. Pescado]

The person who wrote the energizer code is without honor. To call its logic tortured is an understatement and an insult to logic. To call it Byzantine would be offensive to Greeks. I really should have written the damn thing from scratch. But it works now. If you can call this WORKING. Never speak of this atrocity again.

Seasons p0 Energizer Fix for TS2Seasonsp0
Made by: Flying Fish Systems (J. M. Pescado)

Congratulations to: Draklixa!

Special Thanks To:

INSTRUCTIONS:
Place in your MYDOCU~1\EAGAME~1\THESIM~1\DOWNLO~1 directory.

BUGS FIXED:
The energizer now stops correctly. This is the most strangulated and awful
piece of Maxian code I have ever seen anyone write. Whoever wrote this is
without honor and needs to be taken out back and shot. I really should have
just rewritten it from scratch rather than trying to fix it.

COMPATIBILITY:
This hack is fully compatible with all FFS hacks. For TS2Seasonsp0.

SIDE EFFECTS:
May cause computer damage, incontinence, explosion of user's head, coma, death,
and/or halitosis.

WARNING:
Do not open, crush, dispose of in fire, put in backwards, short-circuit, or mix
with non-awesome hacks - may explode, leak, or catch fire, resulting in injury
and/or death.

Thanks for this.  The Energizer code is truly stupid. 

Behold the horror:

Yesterday I sent a tired, slightly-hungry, pregnant Sim to energize.  She pulled the lever, stepped into the bucket, then immediately stepped out to cry "I'm Tired!!"  (no kidding, that's why I told you to use the Energizer, you @$#%^!)
I told her to step back in.  She pulled the lever, stepped into the bucket, then immediately stepped out to observe "It's Raining!!"
I told her to step back in.  She pulled the lever, stepped into the bucket, then immediately stepped out to cry "I'm Hungry!!"
(Repeat, ad naseum, until unconsciousness)

Fun.

Personally, I think at that point I'd declare the sim in question too stupid to live and just let them pass out/starve/pee themselves/whatever. Obnoxious whining doesn't get my sims very far in life.

Agreed, it was nearly a death-penalty offense.  The Nanny set the bar high for death-penalty offenses in my game, though... nothing really compares to Nannycrimes.  I'm thinking this Energizer-averse mother deserves a life sentence of some sort.  Zombification perhaps.  It would be especially apropos if her own son (now born) executes the punishment.  We'll see...

Seriously...the first couple times I thought I was losing my mind with the whole energizer being screwed thing...then I finally realized that they had indeed it screwed it up.  WTF...was it ever broken before...what did they have to change in Seasons that screwed it up?
