Mod The Sims - The "Look at This Awesome Thing I Found!" thread

The biorithmus now will recognize the Lot Zone where it is installed. It will be possible to classify both neighborhood and lots differently. Lots containing normal houses will act as periphery, country side or priviledged areas with much space for whole families. The biorithmus will react normally in such lots and will process both aging and bed habits as usual and known: age visitors at clock 16:00 (4pm), send kids to bed at clock 20:00 (8PM); teens at clock 21:00 (9PM); female adults at clock 22:00 (10PM); all residents at clock 23:00 (11PM) and clear off non residents as well.

NOW it is something new: if the biorithmus is installed in an apartment lot, it will be able to recognize and differentiate both current residents and neighbor residents from visitors. The aging process will affect all sims that are currently "non-hidden" or not "out of world". It will age visitor sims at the usual clock 16:00 (4PM) but will give a coin flip to elders, so it is no more necessary tampering with elders age. They will age or not according to how coin flips, up to limit of 2 days left. I protect elders because of my game play. It will no longer matter because now it is possible to SELECT a sim that is not part of the current family without problems, to make any kind of cheating wished. The biorithmus will recognize that the selected sim IS Not part of the family and will unselect him automatically at clock 23:00 (11PM) and will no more throw all visitors out of the house immediately but drop their energy at a level low enough to decide if they want to leave or stay a little bit longer, of course up to the game limit of clock 2 AM when every non family sim will be told good-bye automatically. This is not changed. A hard selected elder will age normally at clock 18:00 (6PM) like all other family members and if aging to zero days, the elder will die in the current house. In this case, it is recommended to leave the current house and play the house of the dead sim to in order to regularize the gaming. If it deals on a townie or sims without housing, it makes no difference.

Another news: the biorithmus will no longer send adult sims to bed in apartment lots, this options will still work for children that will be sent to bed at the usual time (clock 20:00 - 8PM). I consider it proper timing. Teens will be sent to bed at clock 22:00 (10PM) and if they are intended to go outing, they have to leave before this time. It is intended for adults night out, leaving kids under teens care. As visitors will have left already, there's also freetime for adults cosing.

The biorithmus will still recognize community lots and even business lots, but the second object, previously named "Custom Towner Ager" is now renamed "BiorithmusGhost-Community&Business" and will be developped for such purposes.

The biorithmus is a Lot-based Aging Process that can be stopped either by turning it OFF or removing from the lot. It doesn't contain more than the globals that can be pulled inside the object and processed without actually modifying the globals selves. So it is an object mod.

It is now possible to play sub-neighborhoods much wider different, as for example: use a normal hood for initial families with all member living under the same roof, and when the family starts to grow bigger than the acceptable level (9 sims per lot), instead of moving them to a bigger or separated houses, move them to an apartment lot where families can be split in 4 elements per house and spread on 4 flats apartment buildings where all the elements will be still partially controllable. All members will age simultaneously and can keep in touch with the whole family all the time, participating actively on their lives. They can live and die independently of which family you play, or be chosen as main family for playing whenever you wish, under the game limitation of leaving a lot to enter another.
