Tired of Rude sims changing the TV channel or starting a video game whilst you're in the middle of watching something?
Then this mod is for you...

Now your sim can watch their favorite movie or channel without some pesky sim coming and changing it or starting a video game completely ignoring that your'e watching something

Normally in my game when a sim is watching TV constantly someone comes in and changes the channel or more often starts playing a game

I've been testing this mod in my game for a few days now and so far it hasn't happened once since

I basically just added a condition to the tuning files that the TV is in the OFF state before any of the interactions can occur autonomously

They can still autonomously watch the current channel or choose a channel if TV is off... so now you see groups of sims sitting watching one channel instead of changing it every few minutes..

You can still direct a sim to change channel but they won't do it autonomously anymore
The Play Game interaction is not available while TV is in use so
If you want to play any single player video games you first have to direct sim to turn off the TV then the interaction is available again

I didn't add multiplayer games to the list as they don't seem to do that autonomously at least not in my game.. If you find it does happen in your game let me know and i'll add to the list

Tuning Files Used:
tv_PickChannelAutonomously.InteractionTuning
TV_Movie_WatchRandomMovie.InteractionTuning
tv_PickMovieAutonomously.InteractionTuning

Conflicts:
I haven't found any conflicts so far
It could conflict with any TV and video game autonomy mods
I do use SCAM (SelfConfigurableAutonomyMod) (A mod i never play without)...and have some TV interactions disabled and NO conflicts with that
You can download that mod Here
