Description
A mod inspired by jonasn's Eat Sandwich Faster mod, this mod allows Sims, even the neat ones, to be pushed to use the fast eat animation. The likelihood of doing so increases the hungrier a Sim is, less neat the Sim is, and if there is any other interaction queued up!

Fast eating applies to food dishes eaten by hands, such as hamburger and hot dog, as well as any other custom food based on them. This is made apparent by both the sped up animation and how Sims will take 2 bites consecutively.

Snack bags and canned beverages also have fast eating enabled, as well as the ability for Sims to chat while having them! This only covers base game and Apartment Life, and all other CC snacks and cans will have to be edited on individual basis.


Feature
  • Chance for fast eat animation made dependent on 3 factors
  • These are: depleted Hunger bar, low neat points, and if there is any other interaction queued up.
  • Fast eat animation for sandwiches and food dishes eaten by hand.
  • Fast eat animation for snack bags and canned beverages.
  • "Big Bite" feature for all fast eat animations; this is indicated with how more Hunger is filled on a fast eat one than a normal one.
  • Eating animation loop function, by default used by sandwiches and food dishes eaten by hand
  • The loop works by forcing Sims to do the fast eat animation again, up until its count is reached or the food is near depleted.
  • While in the loop, Sims will not pause to talk or listen to others, nor cancel their eating.
  • Conversations enabled for snacks and canned beverages from base game and Apartment Life
  • Queuing up an interaction adds a flat 50% chance for fast eat to happen.
  • Queuing up is meant as a way to make Sims "hurry up" with the eating.
  • Queuing up provides a flat bonus - adding to percent chance already provided by Hunger or personality.
  • Neat Sims allowed to do the fast eat animation, especially if they are hungry.
  • Sloppy Sims are still more likely to do so, but not always.
Values in the BCONs can be changed as you see fit, such as setting the queuing up bonus to 100% so Sims can be forced to always fast eat, or setting the fast eat loop to 3 so Sims will fast eat consecutively and not pause to talk or listen.


Issues
Coding should work regardless of expansion packs, but I recommend all packs are installed before use.

Fast Eat BCONs are actually separated between the files. Their edits will not synchronize.

CC snacks and beverages use Private functions instead of Semi-Globals, so their Object Datas (OBJD) will have to be edited by changing the "Interaction Table ID" to 129 for snack bags, and 130 for canned beverages.
They should work as long as their Private functions are not too dissimilar to their base game counterparts.

Conversation while standing is very unreliable. I recommend they always seat for the best result.

Please report any other bugs in the comment section.

Creator Recommendations:
jonasn's Eat Chinese Food Fast as Lightning is highly recommended.

Pescado's Eating Mod is also recommended, as his timeless fixes limit conversation during eating and stop non-lazy Sims from keep on eating once they are full.
