Sims are pigs. We all have to learn to deal with it


My sims aren't pigs.. they're neat freaks. But if they drink coffee.. there are cups all over the place! So I take it that ..the coke part of this machine must have the same effect as the coffee.

Thanks! I love both the coke machine and the vending machine... and would like to have them both. And that is the reason you asked for 'testers'. So that you can 'fix' it if there are problems... Right? :D

First off let me start out by saying that this vending machine is awesome! It looks great and works great too. Next, I would like to also ask if you could fix it so that your awesome-looking coke machine will also show up in the game.

About changing guid numbers: I haven't the foggiest clue how to go about doing that, although I did open it up in SimPE and gave it a shot. Changed a couple of numbers around and...nothing. I still see two of these machines instead of a coke machine. Yes... I'm one of the DUMMIES in the crowd that comes here to download cool stuff because I can't make it myself ...lol

Hell, I'd go in and change it myself for real if my search had led me to a tutorial for dummies!

Thanks again for making such cool objects!

This is awesome thanks so much for sharing pacotacoplayer. It looks great and works great, the only thing is I have placed it on several of my sim owned community lots in OFB and although the owner uses it just fine, none of their customers seem to bother with it. The whole idea was for the customer to use it, I am not bothered about the owner making a profit just the customers able to use it and fill their needs.
The other thing that was a little annoying but funny really, was when I first told my sim to buy doritos, I automatically thought Oh Gosh I have no bin for the rubbish rushed and bought one only to find that they wash up the dorito bag, funny!!!!
Same goes for the energy drink.
I know it sounds like I am being picky here, when I am not really, it just looks ODD!!!
Once again thanks it really is SUPERB, you are so talented.

It has been over a month since you posted this object and in your tilte it does say "testers wanted", are you ever going to do something about the problems with the object... I'm not going to go over the problems again, they've been pointed out many times...

Maybe you could point us to some tutorials, so we could fix the problems ourselves.... i've figured out on my own how to fix the GUID problem, but i wouldn't know how to fix some of the other issues.

Thanks

You should make more vending machines. Like the kinds that have bottles of pepsi and stuff on them. Or fridges like in eht MiniMarts!

Anyways...you. my friend have skill/talent!

hey has any one noticed that if u pay 5 bucks for something at the vending machine and then tell ur sim to stop driking/eating it and he puts it down you can go in to buy mode and sell the packet/can for $50

This is a really great hack! Might I be so bold as to ask how you managed to separate the sound from the animation. I've been trying to accomplish this feat for as long as I can remember!

I did ask before but nobody replied.
In my game only the controllable sim uses this and I would like all the sims to use this is this possible?
I think it is awesome but would like all my simmies to use it.

Can anyone tell us how to change the guid on this one so it doesn't replace the original Coke machine? I would love to have both working in my game.

Thanks in advance.
shiny!

This overrides your coke machine. It would be great if we could have both..

AWESOME!!

That said, rather than grouping all 4 items into one machine, do this:

1) have 1 machine for food items (and add some things other than chips & cookies...M&M's perhaps?)
2) have a separate machine for Coke/Sprite/Dr. Pepper/etc.
3) have another separate machine for the energy drink (you could also throw in a few different kinds of energy drinks for variety if you are so inclined).

Well, anywho, nice job, keep up the excellent work.

Two questions:

1. Will sims use the vending machine autonomously?
2. If the vending machine is on an business lot, will customers use it and if so, does the lot owner get paid?

Feel free to PM me with any lot requests. I've mostly done house trailers in the past.

1. In my experience with this item, no one will use the machine autonomously

2. Business customers will not use it either.

I keep one machine in the employee lounge for the Red Bull quick energy pick-up. But only those Sims that are under your control can use it, not the rest of your employees. The manager can use it because the game puts managers under your control.
