idiot dormies - makes you wonder how they got into uni!
jennydeenyc:
I decided a couple days ago to play my Somerset twins through Uni. At first I had them in a Maxis dorm, but have since moved them into a much nicer one from MTS2. Once I got things straightened out with the classic "bathroom controller in dorms" issues, everything is playing pretty smoothly. However, I find I'm constantly cycling through my camera presets to find any dormies that have passed out on the street, in their food, on the floor, or just standing up. Since I lost 2 dormies in the first building the Somerset's were in due to severe motive droppage while passed out, I'll identify the passed out sim, select them with that special mirror (I think it's Monique's), and then have them wake up. Even with autonomy-enabled coffeemakers on premises, I still have to "force-wake" about 70% of my dormies each sim day, some sims multiple times in a multi-hour span. They also tend to go by the mailbox when their energy needs are really low, I have no idea why. I'll get piles of dormies passed out in one spot because the tired ones will be the first to walk over and fret over the ones that are already passed out, and they in turn pass out too!
Is there anything, anything at all that will prevent me from having to constantly babysit my noncontrollables in a dorm? I know just letting them die is a popular option on this board, but I like to give each one makeovers when they move in, and its a huge waste of time to have to do it on replacements for the dead (I like a full dorm). Plus, my playables are trying to develop relationships with some of them too, idiotic though the objects of their affection might be.
Emma:
Sounds like you have 'nodormieprotect' by Pescado. Take that out. If you haven't got that and your dormies are still passing out in the street, then they deserve to die. ;D
jennydeenyc:
Ah, indeed I do! I've just disabled it and hopefully that will improve matters. Didn't realize it would turn my dormies into such lobotomized vegetables! Thanks!
Emma:
Sorry, just realised it is called 'nouniprotect' not 'nodormieprotect'. Looks like you found it anyway. I took mine out ages ago as my dormies were dropping like flies :D
J. M. Pescado:
It doesn't turn them into lobotomized vegetables, they're normally lobotomized vegetables. Uni-protect just made them completely invulnerable so they could play the instruments non-stop FOREVER.
