Mini Fixes
I looked at my old code from when I was an inexperienced modder and made some small improvements.
- Lenna-ChatFix:
The way it worked on the unmodified game was that Sims could only chat with NPCs if they knew them. I decided to restore this feature, but I banned from appearing in chat all NPCs who shouldn't be there, like Food Judge etc., which is what this mod was originally supposed to do. - Lenna-PartyGuestsFix:
Now Sims not only can't invite pets to parties, but also all the NPCs they shouldn't, such as Unsavory Charlatan or carpool drivers. - Lenna-SuggestOutfitJewelryFix:
Fixed a mistake that probably caused Sims to be unable to suggest outfits or jewelry to reporters. - The all-in file is no longer available. Now the file Lenna-MiniFixes.rar contains all the fixes in separate files.
Update 2 (11.02.2024)
I discovered that even with a fix, there is still a possiblity that pet that has ran away will be found by an another pet. This should now be fixed. Sorry for the problem 🤦🏻
Update (06.02.2023)
- I decided to remove from my mod the fix for dancing near the stereo. Download Cyjon's Dance Near Stereo mod instead.
- I also removed fix for Make Out interaction. Download Make out _IS_ a romantic social, dammit! mod instead.
- I made a mistake in the code that allowed working out to the stereo when it was turned off. Now it is fixed.
- I forgot to include the fix for Try For Puppy/Kitten... interaction in the mod I'm so sorry, please download new version.
- Now these fixes are available as separate mods.
Description
This mod contains small fixes for the game. Download Lenna-MiniFixes to have all these fixes in one file, or choose separate mods.
Lenna-SuggestOutfitJewelryFix
Fixed the interactions Suggest Outfit for... and Suggest Jewelry for.... Sims can no longer suggest stuff to themselves, their shop employees, ghosts or universal NPCs (!).
Lenna-TryForPuppyKittenFix
Ghosts no longer appear as possible partners in the Try For Puppy/Kitten... interaction.
Lenna-PartyGuestsFix
Sims can no longer invite pets to parties, which of course is completely inefficient.
Lenna-RunawayPetsFix
Pets that have ran away can no longer be found by service NPCs, which could have caused a situation where a pet is found by a wolf and consequently lost forever because the wolf won't bring it home.
Lenna-ChatFix
Sims can no longer chat on the computer with service NPCs, which could allow characters such as Hot Dog Chef or Food Judge to appear in chat, which shouldn't happen.
Lenna-HeadmasterInTheHotTubFix
In the unmodified game, when a headmaster enters a hot tub, it is impossible to perform any interaction with him, and thus impossible to force him to get out of it, which often leads to a failed scenario. This has been fixed.
Lenna-RanAwayMemoriesFix
In the unmodified game, when a teen runs away from home and come back, they get 4 (!) different memories: Ran Away, $Subject Ran Away, Came Back Home, $Subject Came Back. This has been fixed. Now the teen doesn't receive the memories $Subject Ran Away and $Subject Came Back, which are reserved for their parents.
In addition, I've created add-ons for this mod that make getting these memories more consistent - in an unmodified game, some memories are repeatable, some are unique, and some are unique per Sim. Choose only one of these mods:
Lenna-RanAwayMemories-Repeatable - all of these memories are repeatable.
Lenna-RanAwayMemories-UniquePerSim - all of these memories are unique per Sim.
Lenna-SkunkInteractionFix
I hid the Interaction - Leave on the skunk, which was probably EA's original intent. It's more like an object function, allowing the skunk to leave the lot, rather than something that should be clickable by the user.
Lenna-HowlAndPillowFightFix
I removed the dog interaction on the Sim called Howl, which actually triggers a razzle game that is already in the Play... submenu.
Sims no longer stand around like dummies waiting for no one knows what, when they have other interactions in their task queue after the Pillow Battle interaction.
Lenna-SecretHandshakeFix
The Secret handshake interaction no longer appears on babies, toddlers and children.
Lenna-WorkOutFix
The Work Out interaction on the stereo no longer disappears in some situations.
Compatibility
AL or M&G required.
Conflicts
- Lenna-HowlAndPillowFightFix conflicts with the pie menu overrides from Child Lycantrophy and Child & Teen Plantsims by Midge the Tree, so in order to make all mods compatible, I've incorporated the edits of these overrides into this mod. You need to load my mod after Child Lycantrophy and Child & Teen Plantsims.
- Lenna-PartyGuestsFix conflicts with New Parties Mod mod, which also fixes inviting pets to parties. If you are using my all-in-one pack (Lenna-MiniFixes), remove from my mod the BHAV named Party - Is this neighbor party-able? or load Simler's mod after my mod.
- Lenna-SuggestOutfitJewelryFix conflicts with Specific Clothing Racks mod, if you are using this mod, download Lenna-SuggestOutfitJewelryFix-SpecificClothingRacks file and make it load after both my mod and Pick'N'Mix mod.
