Added 2021-07-27 21:36:51 +0000 UTC

Last Updated [Dec 8, 2021] - Compatible with Patch 1.82.99.

This mod allows you to select one or more specific sim(s) to get them eat/drink a selected food/drink.

LATEST VERSION XML INJECTOR IS REQUIRED for this mod to work. >Download the latest version here<

This mod contains several .package files:

AskToEat Main Mod:

The main mod adds new options to food/drink items, allowing you to call another sim to eat food or drink:

"Ask to eat" option for single foods and harvestables;
"Ask to drink" option for single drinks, plasma packs, drinkable potions, herbalism potions, cauldron potions, poison antidote, infection vaccines and such;
"Ask to take medicine" option for medicine.

The following are add-on files, they're OPTIONAL and REQUIRE the main mod to work:

CallToGrab_AddOn:

Adds "Call to grab serving / Call to grab drink" option to ice cream carton, fizzy juice box, kava bowl, coffee maker, tea brewer, popcorn popper, juice keg, globe bar drink platter and Fountain of Mirth, allowing you to pick one or more sims to grab servings.

CallToMeal_AddOn:

Adds "Call to meal" option to multi-serving food, allowing you to pick one or more sims to grab servings.

Note Ⅰ: There is already a “Choose who you Call to Meal” mod made by LittleMsSam, this addon basically does the same thing as it. I separated this as an optional file so you can choose as you prefer. (They're not conflict.)

Note Ⅱ: I made the player sim selectable in the simpicker, so you can decide whether to let the player sim grab food together by selecting them or not. But you must select at least one other sim that's not the active player sim, otherwise the player sim won't react since you can't call only yourself to eat.

EatFromFridge_AddOn:

Adds "Ask to eat leftovers" option to fridge, allowing you to pick another sim to get leftovers from fridge.
Adds "Ask to eat" option to foods/drinks in the fridge inventory, allowing you to select them from inventory and pick another sim to eat/drink.

GiveFoodToSim_AddOn:

Adds "Grab food/drink for..." option for food, harvestables, medicine, and most drink types, allowing you to select another sim, bring food to them and ask them to eat.
It's like a for-all-ages version of EA's "Give food from inventory to toddler" and "Grab serving for toddler" interaction (somehow they seem to be bugged and unusable in recent game version), except that this custom interaction is initiated by clicking on the food, and it works with food placed in world, in sim inventory, and in fridge inventory.

Some examples of usage:

Tell sims to continue eating when they suddenly forget to eat and leave their food on the table or floor (I made the mod mainly for this);
Feed your hungry vampire friends by giving them a plasma pack;
Bring ghost sims back to life by asking them to eat Ambrosia;
Call your sim's family to grab servings from popcorn popper and eat together on a family movie night;
and so on...

Requirements:

Scumbumbo's XML Injector (the latest version)

Compatibilities:

Base Game Compatible
This mod does not override any in-game resources, so it should not conflic with other mods as far as I know.
Compatible with No Auto Food Grab after Cooking mod by LittleMsSam.
Should work on most CC foods/drinks. However, depending on the CC, sometimes the mod may not work properly and the following may happen: "Ask to ..."option does not appear; sim does not react; sim reacts but eats/drinks with a wrong animation (I haven't encountered these myself, just some possibilities). But even when the mod does not work on some CC, it should not break anything.

Known Issue:

Children will appear in the simpicker of some of the drinks that are not available to children (e.g. tea, coffee), and can be asked to drink, but they will not actually drink them.
