Sliceable Watermelon and Melon
ModPreview.jpg - width=610 height=691
Note: I've changed the name of 2 packages, to make sure all 3 stick together
(the package for the cantaloupe auto soil has not been renamed, that's standalone).
Ewww! This is awful. This doesn't look good at all. How can I show something like
this to people? But I guess you don't care about my pimple, so let's talk about the mod.
I got the inspiration while I was contemplating about the mysteries of the universe and
trying to find answers for some of the great questions that haunt mankind: is Barry white?
Does Tom cruise? How can a door be a jar? And, mostly, why does TS3's watermelon look like that?
Nah, I simply wanted to give my Sims a better watermelon-eating experience while on the beach.
Mod Info
Developed and tested with game version 1.67.
To also make the cantaloupe/melon sliceable, you need that ingredient in the first place. It is
provided by Cinderrellimouse's Cooking and Ingredients Overhaul + More Nectar Ingredients
Mod Description
What this mod does:
- overrides the watermelon's (and optionally the melon's) thumbnail
- makes some fruits/ingredients sliceable: the watermelon and optionally the melon
- the "slice" interaction can only be used when the ingredient is inside a Sim's inventory
- slicing destroys the ingredient and creates slices (which technically are dried food)
- adds a auto soil cantaloupe/melon plant (in BuyCatalog/Debug/Plants)
Cinderellimouse's mod is not required, this mod will work with or without that,
but without that there's no melon. Of course I may be wrong and without
that mod your game will blow up, but, hey, take some chances!
Ingredients already in the game before this mod was installed will not be sliceable.
There's no animation involved in the slicing, the slices just pop up in the inventory.
The quality of the ingredient determines what kind of driedfood the slices are: low, mid or high
(IIRC the differences are how much the hunger motive is filled and the duration/value of the moodlet).
For the melon, a new mesh would do a better job in representing a slice, but I don't like meshing so it is what it is.
The way Sims keep the sliced fruit in hand during the eating animation is not perfect, but after
30 attempts involving tweaking it and restarting the game I said "F**k it, it looks good enough".
Technical note: it can be adjusted rotating the "offsetBone" joint in the rig, be careful that it must
look good in both adults' and children's hand.
There are 4 packages in the archive:
- the mod itself
- the 2 dried food objects (you can delete the one for the melon if you don't have the cantaloupe ingredient)
- the cantaloupe auto soil plant (this depends on the main mod, you can delete it if you don't have the cantaloupe ingredient)
This is most likely my last mod, so I want to thank MTS for hosting my stuff,
the respective authors and contributors of the modding tools (without those I couldn't have done nothing),
the respective authors and contributors of the modding tutorials (without those I couldn't have done nothing),
the people who helped me directly or indirectly, technically or with feedback.
You all took good care of me and were very kind.
Oh, and of course I apologize to the English language.
But let's talk about the elephant in the room. Why the last mod? Choose your favourite reason:
- with all the money I made with modding I can move into a tropical island
- with all the money I made stealing from your bank accounts thanks to the trojan horses in my mods I can move into a tropical island
- I have to focus on my career if I want to fulfil my dream: become the best confetti thrower this world has ever seen.
- I gotta go to rehab for my modding+foruming addiction
I'll stick around for a while in case there's something wrong with my most recent mods.
Bye,
Arsil ^^
