Last time, I put my mod in game and I was having some funny results. This is going to be fast.
So, first, my Confident buff was sort of a mix of a Confident and Happy buff... what did I do?
Well, when something like this happens, the UI telling one thing and the simulation telling another, you can point straight to a mis-match between a SimData file:
And a tuning fi...
2019-12-02 10:16:46 +0000 UTC View PostChanges the length of terms. Default is one week, the mod has 3 versions:
2 Weeks
3 Weeks
4 Weeks
They follow Seasons logic, the purpose is making one term last one season, but you can pick the length you want. Only pick one package.
This was requested as the versions you can find around are outdated.
Now, this is another mod you don't need to give up or rely on other people to do for you, because is incredibly easy to remove the idle interaction.
The file to edit is buff_Vampire_isVampire:
Scroll down until you find the interactions enabled on this buff:

Finally! I took it so long, because to do this we're going to use the XML injector.
By the way, in order to follow this tutorial, you need to have followed the Let's Make an Interaction! and everything before it, first.
So as always, we're taking it very large.

Last time we saw that the TDESC and the XMLs are the same thing, they also have the same structure, and can help you understand the hierarchy inside the XMLs you'll find yourself working on. So this time, we'll not be working on S4Studio and really we'll not be doing something useful, we'll just do an exercise because writing this down can help you understand how all of this comes together and when you'll need to put some lines into an XML that doesn't have them, how to find out where to put ...
2019-12-01 05:57:35 +0000 UTC View PostIf you're following my tutorials lately, you may have noticed that in my last one I started throwing out names, like TunableVariant or Tunable.... and if you tried to look at the TDESC while following them, you may have read those names in there too...
You maybe figured this out, or maybe not... and if not, you may not believe it, but the TDESC and the XMLs we work on are basically the same thing.
So... what are we looking at?

Sheila Lobert asked me to investigate this "problem"
Some custom traits you can download that are made with the Constructor do not show in the relationship panel, they show as Unknown Trait. So, I looked into it and the problem lies in the way the Constructor gives the Instance id to the trait. We're going to use Kiara's Independent trait. Let's open it in the Studio and look for the xml with the type Trait Tuninig:

2019-11-28 05:56:24 +0000 UTC View PostWhy? Because it's easy, it requires you to take confidence with both tunings and SimData files, it can help you understand the basic of how things work, and this is going to be the step one of a more complex tutorial.
So, let's make an happy buff!
And when I say "make it" I mean clonate it, change the stuff that needs changing and make a new thing out of an existing thing!

2019-11-27 22:28:55 +0000 UTC View PostI was requested a mod to make the motives decay 15% slower. I already have a mod to make motives decay go faster or slower (in mine, it depends on the motive, since I use a custom time speed and balanced it to my taste and needs, I never shared that one), and this is by far one of the easier mod you can make. So I'm going to make a step to step tutorial into making the mod from start to finish.
Let's open Sims 4 Studio and create an empty package under tools:

Not compatible with mods for rising the cap of roommates + household allowed. I left the value to default (10) ... the value can be changed here:

2019-11-26 19:16:17 +0000 UTC View PostWhen you send a played sim to bed, the game send them to bed too, like it does with pets. But they just wake up 2 hours later because they can't take care of themselves, and have to go to the bathroom, and the proceed to stay up all night slowing down the clock.
This mod fixes it by filling also their bladder, hunger and hygiene as they sleep.
If your sims wake up, they wake up too if the energy is full.
2019-11-26 00:44:50 +0000 UTC View PostYou may have noticed your sims summoning PCs in community lots if you leave them alone, even though they have none in the inventory.
They're not supposed to. The interaction running is called:
computer_UseFromInventory_NPC
and this says all.

I caught him again... I don't know why Maxis keeps adding ghosts situations... anyway, this removes the ghost walkby you can see around the art University... not the ghost stalkers though, I still have to mess around with the secret society

08/29 Some Ghost were escaping my attempt to remove them. I should have removed them all now.
2019-11-21 02:46:49 +0000 UTC View PostSomeone told me holidays don't count with University classes. They should now count.
Tested with LMS Sam mod, doesn't work, even though the game reads the day off Uni as school holidays (cause I added them to the school loot), out of curiosity I opened the mod, and she needs to add the classes by herself in her mod to make them work (I tried to make a bit of tricks to make them work but I can't merge a loot into hers)
The mod works with the default "day off work/school" though. 2019-11-20 20:30:21 +0000 UTC View Post
This mod is born form an idea of TheLibrarian, I only did the technical part.
There is a mod already that allows you to enrol teens in University, I wanted something a bit different.
This is my take on the subject:
So in my mod, the school will be the one to offer an High School A student the chance to enrol in University, during school hours. The chances are not so high (5) but they're way higher for Genius teens!

You can still enter any profession with this mod, but progressing in your chosen field will require a degree at some point.
