Death Notifications (Beta) [Updated: 5/30/2022]

Death Notifications

Death Notifications provide alerts when a Sim dies. Additionally, it will give the cause of death for human Sims (non-animals). Sims that will produce death notifications are human Sims and animals (cats, dogs, and foxes). Because the game handles notification of "object" animals (cows, llamas, and chickens) from Cottage Living, these are not supported.

Conflicts

• This mod injects into DeathTracker's "set_death_type" function. As of my current knowledge, no other mods override or inject into this function.
• This mod includes custom strings and does not replace or override any resources.
• Old versions of Death Notifications caused conflicts with other script mods that have injector .py/.pyc/.pyo files. This is fixed in Beta 2.1 and above.

Example Notification

Updates
5/30/2022 — Beta 2.1

• Fixed an issue that would cause conflicts with other script mods that would inject new code into existing functions.
• The timeout durations for notifications have been modified.

5/29/2022 — Beta 2.0

• The mod now has a configuration file. This configuration file will be generated the first time you launch the game with new versions of Death Notifications. See below for information about the configuration file.
• Notifications alerting the user of Sim deaths are now flagged as "special moments," meaning the game will render them purple.
• Removed unused code, and refactored the entire code base.
