Not later than today, I tried a new bar that I made in Newcrest. There was ONE television placed above the bar.
10 sims pop on the lot, EVERY SINGLE ONE OF 'EM goes to the TV and starts using their remote frantically.
Needless to say this mod seems very welcome to me !

Thank you.

thank you so much for the lovely comments! Yeah it was going on my nerves as well, that the only thing that Sims are truly interested in is watching TV... O.o... really? Well I am glad I could help you guys out!

Thank you so much. I hate when my sims are tired and for some reason they feel the need to come home and watch TV and leave it on all night.

I will check into the Stereo dance thing. I am not sure about the drink mod. Because I think I remember that I saw this mod already someplace. I will check into it, if I do not find it, I will make it.

I seen this No More Autonomous 'Get Drink'... by onigirichan93 3rd Oct 2014 at 01:50 AM But it could work because it looks out of date there as been patches since then

In TS3 all you had to do was put a sprinkler in the garden. The rich families would forget all about their huge pools, expensive TV sets, fancy entertainment objects, and head outside to run around the sprinkler.
Well, this mod will have to do... for now

That should not happen though. Is the Sim who does watch the Alien channel an Alien? Or a normal Sim? Can you please take the mod out, delete your localthumbcache.package and there various other cache files? After that place the mod back in and check it. The Alien TV channel is included so it should not happen that sims still use it. Unless you have another Autonomy mod installed which has these interactions in it set to autonomy, like webl_101 autonomous interaction mod. They will conflict, as all interactions are turned to Autonomy in that mod.

Okay so I won't create another NO dancing to Stereo, since it's already existing. I can however take a look at the outdated no more drink mod.

Yay, thanks so much for this - it was much needed!! Any chance you could take a look at the No Autonomous PC mod that's outdated? I think it's on this site... my Sims drive me crazy playing the PC all the time, and trolling teh forums when I don't want them to, lol... Thanks for this again!

Hi Enjoji,

The No longer Troll The forums mod already exists. MadameButterfly created it. You will need to register here: http://simsasylum.com/tfm/

And you can find the mod here: http://simsasylum.com/tfm/index.php...oll-teh-forums/

I hope that helps!

However I am not sure if a No auto play games mod already exists. If it's outdated I can surely update it for the newest patch. That is not a problem as long as it is way behind like 2014 or so.

best,
Tanja

Yes, please make a mod to stop sims interacting with the computer (or just playing games on it since the MB forums one exists)! That would be amazing! Lodakai made a "No Auto PC" mod that hasn't been updated since early October

Yes, that was the mod I was referring to, lol. I will download the mod Tanja has just pointed me to in the meantime until a No Auto PC mod comes around
