Firefighting Failsafe for Friendly Lots
xndrot_firefighterMods.jpg - width=960 height=720
And so here are 2 mods to mitigate the circumstances:
- firefighterMoreTrucks makes it so that the game ignores the fire truck(s) and only checks if there's at least one firefighter NPC - On the Job? So if your friendly firefighter is too busy eating your food or soaking in your hot tub or simply breathing your air they won't come running to save you or anything (and by you I mean your sims) but there will be a new firefighter who will be sent to come save the day instead.
- firefighterMoreDedicated makes it so that firefighters will fight fires even when not on the job. What this means is that they'll extinguish fires if you let them stay after they finish their job and also even when you call to invite them over normally via non-emergency phone calls, is what this means. They'll just be that dedicated. (They have to be greeted first, though, and a new one will come anyway if the first one doesn't have their fire truck with them.)
The mods can be used separately or together, which I think makes sense, considering the fire department wouldn't know the reason behind the need for another emergency response (maybe the first firefighter slacks off or is too dead to drive their fire truck back or something) and so should send someone else to deal with the situation regardless.
I also recommend my other mod, the one I mentioned was being tested, which allows firefighters to come save your lot on foot if there's not enough space for any fire truck to park on the street.
Some technical info:
- firefighterMoreTrucks works with Pets and up and overrides BHAV Test - NPC or Vehicle on Lot? Group 0x7F95DD73 Instance 0x0000101B
- firefighterMoreDedicated works with Apartment Life and up and overrides BHAV Push - Panic - All Sims Not Interacting Group 0x7FD0A790 Instance 0x0000102C
Note that firefighters not on the job won't prioritize which fire is more life-threatening and therefore more in need of extinguishment. (Normally they fight fires within 5 tiles of any sim first.) That said, I made a point of making sure they are psychic and will know instantly if fire breaks out so unless your sims (and by that I mean you) manage to time things perfectly, there shouldn't be more than one fire anyway.
