No Uni Invulnerability For Dormies
vector:
Heh heh heh - I left a flamingo on the lawn hoping they could use it to get their fun up, and only one dormie ever kicks it, and even then she only does something like once a semester. I put a swingset out for them as well, but forgot I also had Pescado's nobogartswings hack, so they don't use it at all. I should maybe take that out sometime.
I don't really use instruments, learned not to long before this hack came out. Might be worthwhile adding them again, since they won't use them day and goddamn night anymore.
Ancient Sim:
Well, I know I promised some pics of my results from this mod, but I can't post them because the "upload folder is full" or something. In any case, only one is worth posting because the others are too dark due to me having GunMod's Radiance Light System in my game.
Basically, what I have had to do is remove all the beds from the dormies' rooms and scatter them around the lot. Is there anything that can be done so they can actually sleep in the beds in their rooms? As I reported in my last post, they are trying to do this but the game won't let them, instead they are being "disabled", whatever that means. It would seem so much more realistic if they could sleep in their beds. Since installing this mod and realising just how controlled the dormies really are, I've re-named them the Stepford Dormies. Somehow, it seems to fit.

When a dormie goes to its room, its energy is refreshed as if it had gone to sleep. This part is essentially "faked", because dorm rooms are faded out to ostensibly reduce graphical and computational load.

In one of my dorms I think I have a bug. The rooms of the dormies are not faded out since I installed NL. I installed your mod and, indeed, it has the desired effect: dormies passing out, dormies starving, etc. etc. They are now sleeping in their little beds too - I can see them doing their zeds (is that zees if you're American?).
Anyway, one slightly unexpected side-effect of the hack is this. The dormies now sleep in their beds. Some of the idiots also lock their doors. When the maid comes in the morning, she spends hours walking from one locked dormie room to another, wanting to make the beds but not being able to get in. As she seems to prioritise bed-making over something important, like say, cleaning the f***ing green-smoking toilets which haven't been cleaned in 5 days, you silly cow, she spends hours walking up and down the corridors not doing anything useful and then gets paid a big wad of money at the end of the day for it. I have had to resort to taking the beds out of the rooms (because I can't unlock the doors without a major fiddle about) just so that she can make them in the corridor and get over her bed fixation. It's almost as bad as the fish tank (has that been fixed yet?).
You know if you were to make one hack that would really improve the quality of my game play it would be one that would allow me to administer a smack to the sims when they did something stupid. I know you can't make that and it's all wishful thinking but you have no idea just how much it would add to my experience of the game. (Clean the fishtank for the nth time, smack!, clean the fishtank ..., smack ... sigh. Perhaps I should play something else).
ElviraGoth:
One thing I've noticed is that now my sims have to lock their doors or they find a dormie sleeping in their bed!
Three different dorms. Each one had one girl I was about to send to bed and their was a male dormie already sleeping in her bed.
I haven't had to lock my sims doors before because the dormies didn't bother them enough to. Now it's essential. Is this part of the hack that allows this to happen?
