Children Wants Mod
notenkids.jpg - width=300 height=222
Have 10 kids --> lowered to 5. Who in the world (real or virtual) has 10 kids these days?
Have 20 grandchildren --> lowered to 10. I also made it only roll up if the Sim getting the want has at least two children (was one).
BONUS: Be abducted 5 times --> lowered to 2. Unless you cheat, alien abductions are extremely unlikely so 2 is about as lucky you can get.
GUI Text is altered for all* languages!
*All as long as I could find the number, that is. Some strings used the word form for the number and if I couldn't find it, I left it unaltered.
Trivia tidbit: the french text for "20 grandchildren" said 15! Now it correctly says 10.
Note
Existing wants will probably not be changed, but if the want rolls for a new Sim, or re-rolls, it should update. The want cannot be locked, it must completely re-roll.
The icon should still display a 10 or 20, but the text will be correct. I suck at graphics so didn't change the icons, I'll leave that to someone else ;-)
I stupidly overwrote my screenshot for this, it is very hard to get it as the want is quite rare and doesn't like to roll up. I'll try shooting another one and then it'll replace the current "mood picture" ;-)
Should you have a suitable 'shot, please let me know.
Compatibility
Should be compatible with all flavours of TS2 from the base game up to Seasons and Celebrations. Only tested in Seasons+Celebrations.
If you find any problems with other expansions please let me know.
