Very cool! This is one of those "Why didn't they build the game like this in the first place?" - things.
Thank you so much for making these!

This is great but a necessary question must be done here, objects in lots has sometings data around sims, will this mod avoid that behavior?

Hmm, I can’t say that this modifies anything that has to do with handling data around Sims, though that sounds like a cool separate mod.

@Cat, thank you so much! Your comments are appreciated. I wonder where we would be if EA didn’t have things for us to modify.

Thanks for giving my sims the option to leave things behind when moving if they've been buying new stuff for a new home though They'll still pack up anything they don't want left behind or might need for the new home.I can finally have the stuff left behind by sims moving house finally stay in the house instead of vanishing.

Great set of mods!
How does this compare with Moo/Phaenoh's For Sale Sign, which keeps many of the same objects, and adjusts the price of the lot to account for their cost.

I don't think Moo's will keep fireplaces, so I would be interested in using that part of yours if they will work together.

Hi! My mod requires no objects to place (For Sale Sign/Stay Things Shrub/etc.), and will automatically keep objects listed that are affixed to the home in question.

It mostly overrides global inits of all the listed objects, with exception to the ones that don't have globals (or a single item like the in-ground grill, so it wouldn't override all of the grills; IIRC grills have their own globlals?), in which the inits of those objects were modified.

The intention of this mod was to be able to leave fixtures on a lot without the need for placing a modded object. It's there to create less steps for moving out/in Sims.

Intresting Mod, fway. I've been using the "the staythings shrub" for ages but it does'nt seem to work on apt lots. Also I can see that your Mod has more flexability as well. I would be very intrested if you can get a version that will work correctly for apt lots too. Nice job!

Thanks for the clarification!

You're a blessing!! Thank you! I'm going to playtest it this week

This just keeps getting better! Thanks again

It's quite a risky solution. "0x0106:0x3C" means bars and functions that look for bars may no longer work as expected or even cause resets. Moreover, many objects use their own categories and changing them may cause the functions looking for those objects to stop finding them.

@fway, is it possible that in the future you'll release a mod which keeps ALL of the objects? That's something I would love

This mod conflicts with Moo's turn on/off all lights

Maybe it caused by load sequence. I am not expeeienced in this. With this mod wall lights stop to get effect by Moo's mod.

This is the origin of what has been driving me CRAZY. So the lights staying after moveout part of this mod... Because it changes the category to bars they're no longer picked up as lights/lamps and thus, for Monique's sunlight from all lights hack can't pick them up as lights.

I think, I'll just have to deal with apartments losing their lights over my plantsims dying all the time inside when I have lights. This is an awesome mod otherwise. But yeah, that's an issue. I assume the category change to bars is also what makes Moo's turn on/off all lights not work, as well just trying to click them sometimes in regular gameplay. This issue was driving me MAD though. But hey, now you can update the details for people to know.

Ohh, thank you for that report! I'll have to see what's coded for those mods so I can make them compatible. It would probably be a matter of adding what's in both Moo's and Monique's code to the init?



Good point! Thank you for pointing this out, I got a reply sometime today and just saw your message. Would you suggest anything "safer"? Now that I'm more versed in modding I may do a deeper dive, though my fingers are crossed that the code hiding/removing the objects in apartments isn't hard-coded.

Thank you
