Three Small Mods/Fixes
Added 2022-03-12 00:06:57 +0000 UTCHere are three little mods to address a couple bugs in game and a minor annoyance. These mods are complete and free-for-everyone immediately, but I won't be making an itch.io page for these just yet because I am considering reorganizing my mods there to make it easier to maintain. Currently, my thought is to combine all of my mini-mods into one page per pack. Anyway, on to the mods.
Espresso Fix
This is a fix for a long-standing bug that my friend mangoninja told me about. Sims who order the espresso "For Here" at cafes or drink them in their own home would get a small boost of Energy but would not get the moodlet they were supposed to. It appears that these drinks were checking the wrong drinking interaction and wouldn't give the moodlet to Sims unless they were seated. This mod changes it so drinking coffee in any posture setting will give Sims the correct moodlet.
Mascots What Are You Doing
This is a fix for an issue with some university events where mascots are supposed to be present. They are supposed to walk around and eventually make their way to the stadium, but unfortunately their spawn point is also set at the stadium so instead they despawn immediately. If you hover the camera near the stadium, you could see the mascots flicker in and out of existence many times during the course of the event. This mod changes the spawning behavior of mascots in four different situations so they start off in a better place and spend time in the world before exiting.
No Crying in Beer Pong
This is a mod to deal with a minor annoyance I have with beer (or "juice") pong. When a Sim misses a shot or loses the game, they will take a moment to sob. This puts a damper on the mood of the party, and really no one should take beer pong that seriously. This mods changes it so the Sim will just sigh and act a bit frustrated instead of getting tears in their cup.
All of these are simple script mods, so to install them just put them in your Mods folder or one subfolder deep in your Mods folder. Make sure you have script mods enabled in your game settings, as well. Special thanks, as always, to LeRoiDeTout for his help.
Enjoy and happy Simming!
