Death Notifications (Beta) [Updated: 5/30/2022]
Death Notifications provide alerts when a Sim dies. Additionally, it will give the cause of death for human Sims (non-animals). Sims that will produce death notifications are human Sims and animals (cats, dogs, and foxes). Because the game handles notification of "object" animals (cows, llamas, and chickens) from Cottage Living, these are not supported.
Conflicts
- This mod injects into DeathTracker's "set_death_type" function. As of my current knowledge, no other mods override or inject into this function.
- This mod includes custom strings and does not replace or override any resources.
- Old versions of Death Notifications caused conflicts with other script mods that have injector .py/.pyc/.pyo files. This is fixed in Beta 2.1 and above.
Example Notification
Unfortunately, Trevor Sanderson has died. He will be missed, but it's good to know he will no longer be struggling, and found peace in a place with all the free food he could ever eat.
He died by Death of Old Age.
Updates
5/30/2022 — Beta 2.1
- Fixed an issue that would cause conflicts with other script mods that would inject new code into existing functions.
- The timeout durations for notifications have been modified.
- The mod now has a configuration file. This configuration file will be generated the first time you launch the game with new versions of Death Notifications. See below for information about the configuration file.
- Notifications alerting the user of Sim deaths are now flagged as "special moments," meaning the game will render them purple.
- Removed unused code, and refactored the entire code base.
5/28/2022 — Fixed an issue that would cause corruption errors for Windows users. This version has no functional changes, and macOS users are not required to redownload.
Configuration File Information
Declaration | Command | Default Value | Information |
---|---|---|---|
ENABLED | death_notifications.set_enabled {bool} | True | Whether or not Death Notifications should be enabled. This change requires a game restart. |
NOTIFICATION_EXPAND_BEHAVIOR | death_notifications.set_notification_expand_behavior {integer} | 0 | Whether or not notifications about deaths should be expanded by default. This change does not require a game restart. |
You may change these settings by directly editing the configuration file (named simalary_DeathNotifications.cfg), generated in the same folder as the .ts4script file. If you change the configuration file directly, use the following command to force Death Notifications to reload the configuration settings:
death_notifications.reload_config
- ENABLED: {bool — true / false}
- NOTIFICATION_EXPAND_BEAHVIOR: {integer — 0 / 1}
Other Information
The strings in this mod are built for the custom pronouns introduced on 5/24/2022 (PC: 1.88.213.1030 / Mac: 1.88.213.1230). If your game is not updated, you may encounter issues with this mod.
This mod is under active beta development, and therefore, text, settings, and other features are subject to change. Due to this, translations from contributors are not encouraged at this time. This line will change when translations are accepted. If you have feedback regarding issues or suggestions, do not be afraid to let me know!
