No More Autonomous Autograph Signing
Updated (finally!) for the changes made from Showtime. Will remove all Sim requests for autographs and cell phones. (I had to do that, to make it compatible with my "no autonomous cell phone picture taking" mod, because they use the same file.)
I'm sorry it took so long. I had honestly forgotten about this mod, because I always completely turn off the celebrity system in my own games.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Have you ever queued up a bunch of actions with your Sim, suddenly to find all those actions stomped because some townie Sim decided to ask your Sim for his autograph? Are you tired of this happening to you all the time?
If you are, then this mod is for you.
This mod was made with patch 1.50, and will probably work with both older and later patches, unless something about the Celebrity system changes.
This mod edits 3 ITUN files and 1 XML file, all of which seem to have something to do with autographs:
AskForAutograph_ForAutographSituation_Sim.ITUN
AskForAutograph_Sim.ITUN
AskForAutograph_SocialInteraction.ITUN
Celebrity_0xead90e377534fce8.XML
I don't know if it really only takes one of these, but I have the feeling all of these edits are required. Certainly all of them had a percent chance of an autograph being asked for, each of which I lowered to 0. (The base chance was 30% before for most of them, which for me seemed to cause it to happen every time a Sim went out of his house, and even sometimes when he didn't!)
I don't think there are any other mods out there that modify any of these ITUN or XML files, but if there are, there will be a conflict. Since the first three specifically have to do with autographs, I doubt any other mod would conflict with those.
Conflicts
The Celebrity_0xead90e377534fce8.XML does affect other things, however: Specifically, this file affects how another Sim reacts to your Sim if you have any celebrity status. (Whether the other Sim gets the Star Struck moodlet, whether you get the Got Recognized moodlet, if the other Sim cheers, boos, or tries to socialize with you, etc.) It also affects how often the game checks for another Sim's recognition of your celebrity status. If you have any other mod affecting those things, there will be a conflict. However, either I or the other modder can easily edit our mods to add the functionality of the other mod to our own, if need be. Or I can pull that XML file out of this one to remove that conflict for you. (Although that will probably cause you to still occasionally be forced to give autographs without wanting to.)
If your Sim has a career or opportunity where you have to hold autograph sessions (not a rabbithole one, but a live one) and give out autographs, you will want to download the second (not the first) of the files that allows Autograph Sessions. It is possible that you may still get some random autograph requests, but they should be far fewer.
As far as I have seen this appears to work correctly. I haven't had another Sim interrupt any of my Sims in the past few weeks of playing with this mod. If anyone still has any situations where a townie autonomously asks one of your active Sims for an autograph, please let me know and I'll see if there are any more XML files that I might have missed. I do NOT have Showtime, so if there are Showtime situations that might cause an autonomous autograph situation, I wouldn't know if I missed it. Of course, chances are if you have a Showtime career, you wouldn't want to remove those autographs anyway.
Additional Credits:
The makers of S3PE, because without it, no XML mods could be made.
Twallan, because he's just an awesome modder, and because his NRAAS mods allow me to test things more thoroughly than I ever have could without them.
