Empty Maxis Potty Chairs using a bin
Here is a little annoyance that I've had with my game for ages... I often create lovely nurseries, but unless I put a bathroom right next to them, the parents have to hike a mile uphill through snow to empty their little darlings' potties and it annoys me so much! |
So this is a mod to the Maxis potties so that when they need to be emptied, the Sim looks for a bin instead of a toilet. A bin is a rather more appropriate item to have in a nursery than an adult toilet!
Those of you that know my mods will realise I like to make realistic changes which is why this is not a "no-empty" potty. There are a few of these around, but not to my taste as feels a little like cheating For those interested however, the related pages tab has links to those I know about on MTS.
For all the custom content potty chairs out there, it will not affect them since the code is not global for these objects (Why Maxis, why?). If you are the creator of a custom content potty chair and would like to include this change (very small) in your object, click on the button below to expand the instructions - it is a very simple change.
This mod changes the following Maxis potties:-
Tinkle Trainer 6000 Potty Chair Base Game
File name: pottychair-usebin-Mog-20100224.package
Lil Angel Potty Chair requires FreeTime
File name: pottychairclassic-usebin-Mog-20100224.package
I don't know of any mods this clashes with, but I suspect if there are any clashes it will be with a mod which does a very similar thing. There is always the possibility of course, so the pertinent information for the owner of the other object is here.
Possible hack clashes
This package updates the following two BHAVs
Function (Instance, Group)
Interaction - Empty (0x1007, 0x7F257D5F) - Lil Angel Potty Chair from Freetime EP
Interaction - Empty (0x1007, 0x7F02BE2F) - Tinkle Trainer 6000 Potty Chair from Base Game
If your mod also touches these then our mods will clash.
How to change your own custom content potty
- Open your custom content potty package in SimPEwiki.
- Navigate to the BHAVs in the Resource Tree, then find the BHAV called "Interaction - Empty" in the Resource List and click on it to open it in the Plugin View.
- Ensure you are viewing this BHAV with the Plugin View Tab, then click on the Sort button - makes the BHAV easier to view and should match up with the following instructions better too.
- We need to locate two specific instructions in this BHAV. I expect that for most (if not all) custom content potties, they will be line numbers 0x9 (9) and 0x14 (20), but to be absolutely sure, double check that they contain the same OpCodes as shown on this image. That is, line number 0x9 should be "Standard Exit" and line number 0x14 should be "Object in Hand - Get ID(tmp 0) & Hand(tmp3)". If yours are different find the lines that contain those OpCodes instead and make a note of your line numbers. I will refer to them as line 0x9 (9) and line 0x14 (20) - you should substitute your lines if they are different.
- Edit the true target of line 0x9 (9) to point to 0x0014 instead of 0x000A which is what it was previously pointing at.
- Commit your change to this BHAV - click the "Commit File" button.
- Save your package (Menu, File->Save)
- Put into your downloads folder using File->Save Copy As...
- Fire up your game and test it out.
