Bring friends home more often [UPD 2008-10-16]
If the sim is 0 or 1 points shy, will almost never bring friends home, and the overall probability is not very high (25% from work and 35% from school).
These two hacks raise these probability values to 75% for all sims with 2 or more points in outgoing personality.
Your sims will bring friends home almost every day; notice that any household member will be affected, till the "maximum visiting sims" limit, so you have to consider also this, in your calculations. The default limit should be 4, unless you've raised it already with some hack or cheat code.
Suggested additions which may help:No conflicts found with both these hacks.
Enjoy!
UPDATE 7-MAR-2007
*confirmed* marhis-probgetfriendfromwork75.package does NOT work with Seasons EP. A workaround is hopefully on the way, but in the meantime remove it from your downloads if you have installed Seasons EP.
UPDATE 11-MAR-2007
Thanks to reesenpieces help, I've managed to update these mods for Pets and Seasons: if you have installed one of both of those EPs, download the updated version.
Only the zip is renamed (with EP4-EP5), while the package itself has the same name; just let them overwrite the outdated copies, and you'll set .
UPDATE 16-OCT-2008
Updated to Bon Voyage, FreeTime and Apartment Life.
If you have any or all of this EPs, you should use "probfriendfromwork75-EP6-7-8". "Probgetfriendfromschool", instead, is the same as Seasons version (EP5): no update needed.
I've also addeeded a version which also includes a 0% probability of snow day during winter, suitable from Seasons EP and later, if you like it.
