HCDU two conflicts with Cyjon's "Help Homework Owner". Will changing the load order help fix this? If not, I'll remove his.

http://www.cyjon.net/node/160

These are the two conflicts HCDU is showing in my game:

*** POSSIBLE CONFLICT DETECTED ***
File Type: BHAV
Procedure Name: Interaction - Ask to Teach - TEST
Group ID: 0x7FF4DCC2
Instance ID: 0x00001023
Packages Containing This Procedure:
\downloads\AAA-MODS\LOADORDER-homework-help\CJ-HelpHomeworkOwner.package
\downloads\AAA-MODS\LOADORDER-homework-help\MTS-kestrellyn-askanyoneforhomeworkhelp.package

*** POSSIBLE CONFLICT DETECTED ***
File Type: BHAV
Procedure Name: Interaction - Ask to be Taught - TEST
Group ID: 0x7FF4DCC2
Instance ID: 0x0000101F
Packages Containing This Procedure:
\downloads\AAA-MODS\LOADORDER-homework-help\CJ-HelpHomeworkOwner.package
\downloads\AAA-MODS\LOADORDER-homework-help\MTS-kestrellyn-askanyoneforhomeworkhelp.package

EDIT: I tested the above configuration with this mod loading after Cyjon's and did not notice any problems caused by the conflicts. A teenager asked her friend to help her with her homework and everything seems to be working as it is supposed to.

Yes, they conflict. If you load my mod last, it will work but Cyjon's won't (you'll still be able to ask for homework help from other people's homework) and if you load Cyjon's last his will work and mine won't. If you want, I can combine both functionalities into a single mod, though.

Thank you so much! It really bothered me that this wasn't possible for teens to help each other in the game, especially since my sister has always been that one student who everyone goes to for tutoring and study help...at one point in high school she managed to tutor a student in her own class in maths so well that they started getting better test scores than her xD

Thank you! Makes good sense tome that e g visiting grandparents shoud be able to help with homework. I also think it makes sense that only teens with the actual study skill shoud be able to teach other teens - but I suspect my sim teens don't agree . Downloaded both versions and wil se what works best.

I didn't even remember that I'd grabbed this other mod a while back and I don't think I've ever actually seen its effects in game, but HDCU informs me that there's a conflict between this mod and "homework-help-peers.package" for which I have no documentation but I assume it does what it says on the tin and therefore is more or less entirely replaced by this mod.

I'm pulling the older mod of course, but I figured I'd post the conflict here just in case anyone else finds the report helpful.

I have always wondered why nannies are so useless and visiting grandparents couldn't help with homework when they can if they live with the student. This is great! Thanks!

Possible bug caused by this:



When used alongside Autonomous Homework Help, this resulted in one of my Sims repeatedly attempting to ask the roomba for homework help.

Oops, haha. I've uploaded new versions that exclude members of the default family, which should also prevent ghosts and and the grim reaper/etc. from appearing in the pie menus.

Default Thanks!
It makes my split family plot so much easier, thank you!

Should off-lot apartment neighbours be appearing in the pie menu? lol.

It was pretty cool seeing Ginger Newson autonomously ask a (thankfully, on-lot) apartment neighbour to help, though.

I think off-lot family members also appeared in the pie menu in the unmodded game, but I can see how that wouldn't work well with the autonomous homework help mod. I'll see if I have time to make that change tonight.
