Active Workout Self Pie Menu Interaction (Updated 1/19/2005)

This hack enables a pie option for "Work Out" on the sim, which allows the sim to work out in place, similar to the interaction that occurs after the Uni EP NPC Coach that orders you to workout. The sim won't require a stereo, TV, or exercise machine to work out. I always thought that it was silly sims required objects to work out and I wanted my sims to be able to do so without necessarily buying an object. Should be useful for those poor sims, as well as add variety so you don't always have to Do Yoga. I basically just found this in the game and enabled it with a few minor changes. This option will show up if the sim meets the following criteria:

• The sim is generally in a good mood (all motives mostly in the green).
• The sim is very active (>=6).
• Or the sim has at least 2 body skill points and in a good mood (>=60).
• Or the sim is in a very good mood (>=80) and likes the environment (>=70).
  

INSTALLATION:
This MUST be in your Downloads folder, typically found under:

C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\My Documents\EA GAMES\The Sims 2\Downloads


Compatibility:
Nightlife tested and approved. It will probably work in Uni. I'm not sure if it will work in the base game, so any feedback would be appreciated.

I have tested this in my game and it appears to work fine.

This hack is compatible with most, if not all mods by MATY crew (Pescado, TJ, and CBoy), dizzy, and probably more. Again, up to you to help me determine any possible conflicts.


REMINDER and fine print (to cover my ass ) :
Remember to ALWAYS BACK UP YOUR DATA BEFORE INSTALLING NEW HACKS. By using this hack, you agree to absolve me of any responsibility or liability for any potential loss of or damage to your data. You have been warned.

HOW TO REPORT: Conflicts, problems, or errors
I would appreciate any constructive criticism and feedback that is actually helpful. With that in mind, it would be helpful, when reporting any conflicts or issues, that you include the following:

1) thorough but reasonably brief description of what you were doing
2) clear, comprehendible explanation of your problem
3) list of hacks that may be related to working out
4) archived (.rar or .zip) of log produced by error

Posts which do not include a clear description of what your problem is will be pretty much ignored. (i.e. posts such as "This does not work! I am taking it out! You suck! Nice try! etc.") I can't and won't help you if you don't explain what's wrong.

Please be nice when trying to explain your problem and I might be nice and help you.

Finally, my Thank Yous go to:

J.M. Pescado, twojeffs, dizzy2, and jase439 for being excellent tutors and providing excellent models in their mods. As always, thanks to those creators who've put out some excellent modding tutorials, Quaxi and co for SimPE, and dizzy2 for disaSim2, and the finally letters T and S, and the number 2, all of whom, without which this mod would not be possible.

If I left anyone out, I apologize in advance. You know who you are and you deserve my thanks.
