Hack Descriptions
nenechell:
Since so many people have whined about not having descriptions for the FFS Hacks, I decided to share mine. I hope you all find it helpful.
FFS Hack Descriptions
All hacks listed as "Officially Nightlife Compatible" can be found at
http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/ffs/nl/hacks
All hacks listed as "Unofficially Nightlife Compatible" were listed as such in Boris's Official List
and can be found in the Uni version of the Director's Cut located at
http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/ffs/uni
All hacks listed as "Not Nightlife Compatible" have either not been tested or updated for Nightlife or were

Director's Cut located at
http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/ffs/uni
12/2/05 Changed the description on some of the items because they are an "object, not hacks, not updated but should work in Nightlife" for the items that have not been updated that appeared on Boris' Official List. These objects can be found in the Uni version of the Director's Cut located at

aboutbedmaking.zip - Officially Nightlife Compatible
Tired of Sims suddenly going into an obsessive-compulsive bed-making spree that
you can't stop even if you X it out well before they get to the bed because they
suddenly got this pointless urge from across the room? This hack makes "Make Bed"
abortable like everything else, so if you X it out before they begin, the behavior
will cease. No longer will your Sims waste an hour making the bed and miss work.
Who the hell actually does this, anyway? You're just going to sleep in it again.
Added: Sims will no longer automatically queue-as-continuation "make bed" if their
queue already contains other actions.
antibabylecture.zip - Officially Nightlife Compatible
Sims will no longer drop their entire queue and clip through their chairs to
lecture or yell at babies (or anyone else) when somebody soils themselves. The
lecturing and shouting will only be permitted when they aren't doing anything already.
antiprankhack.zip - Not Nightlife Compatible
Serious sims no longer autonomously perform juvenile pranks. Guests may no longer
initiate water balloon-throwing in someone else's private residence.
asprecharge.zip - Not Nightlife Compatible
Noodlesoother, Thinking Cap, Energizer, and Love Tub are now rechargeable, so you don't
have to go into buy mode to dispose of used ones. The cost to recharge is proportional
to how much has been used. The drop behavior of the hats has also been tweaked slightly
so Sims preferentially favor surfaces in the room, rather than dropping them on the kitchen
counter and blocking the food preparation because the counter was deemed "closer" on account
of being on the opposite side of the wall.
I. Sims no longer autonomously barge into your special tub, wasting its charge. They
should only enter if you tell them to, or ask someone to join.
II. Used Noodlesoothers and TCs can be disposed of if you do not wish to recharge them,
such as if you have too many or you're putting them on community lots.
authorizedpersonnelonly.zip - Officially Nightlife Compatible
This object can be bought and placed in any room, inside or outside, upon a wall. Once in
the game, you can set its security preferences by programming the allow, deny, and override
settings for various classes of people.
DENY/PERMIT/LOCKDOWN SETTINGS
VISITORS:
All visiting, non-NPC, non-resident sims are denied. If on a community, this affects
all of the naturally occurring wandering visitors, but not the Sims you control (or
invited - seperate Maxis bug).
HOSTILES:
This category includes all malicious NPCs: A social worker coming to steal your children,
and the burglar are all hostiles. Note that a burglar is reclassified to EMERGENCY if he
has been arrested, and to SERVICES if he is coming to purchase the virus (although we do
not know how this can happen normally). All NPCs which are invited by phone are considered
visitors for the duration of that visit. Some Social Workers can walk through walls and are
not affected as a result.
DISRUPTIVE:
This category consists of hired workers that perform disruptive activities if allowed
to wander too freely around the base. This category currently includes only the Nanny
and Evil Mascot.
TOURISTS:
This category consists of NPCs who are touring the base and can become stuck on certain
types of objects if allowed to wander into them. Members of this class include the
Headmaster and the Boss(disabled scenario), as well as all the non-service-related
University NPCs like the Cheerleader, Professors, and Mascot (Llama).
SERVICE:
This category consists of NPCs that are hired to perform services on the base.
Members of this class include the Gardener, Repairman, Maid, Pizza, Newspaper,
and Grocery Delivery persons, Bartender, Postal Worker, Social Worker (when delivering
an adopted child), Burglar(when purchasing the virus), the Cashier, and the Chinese
Deliverator.
EMERGENCY:
This category consists of emergency personnel: Firefighters, Police Officers, the
Burglar(when arrested), and the Exterminator.MISCELLANEOUS This category consists of
NPCs not otherwise recognized presently. No members are currently classified as such
as of this edition. Any custom NPCs created in other hacks, or NPCs added in expansion
packs not supported, may be classified in this category.
AUTONOMOUS:
This category consists of resident controllable sims that are not performing a
user-priority interaction or greater. Also includes, or perhaps *specifically* includes,
Sims trying to puke.
BABIES:
This category includes all babies and toddlers. While babies are not normally mobile,
should a baby somehow acquire the ability to move while still being classified as a baby,
it will be prevented from entering. Toddlers will be unable to pass through this setting.
CHILDREN:
This category includes all Sims of the "Child" age stage.
TEENS:
This category includes all Sims of the "Teen" age stage.
ADULTS:
This category includes all Sims of the Adult and Elder age stages.
PASS-THROUGH:
This category includes everyone, regardless of anything else, who is routing to a
destination that is not within the room itself. It has no effect on Death Mode and
is not applicable in Lockdown Mode. Anyone who is attempting to navigate to a point
or object not within the room itself will be denied access to enter this room. Set
this on your bathroom if your sims insist on trying to route through the bathroom,
then being unable to pass through because somebody's legs are in the way: The room
will then be rendered invalid for pass-through routing and sims will always go around
unless they are attempting to go into the room itself.
EVERYONE:
Everyone not classified as UNTOUCHABLE is a member of this category. If this setting
is set, nobody may pass through this door when the lock is engaged, and everyone will
be denied access.
UNTOUCHABLE:
This category includes the Social Bunny, Therapist, Ghosts, the Repo Man, and the Grim
Reaper. This category is always able to pass through due to their non-corporeal,
imaginary, or unstoppable/game-critical nature.
In all cases, the most restrictive setting applies: A Maid is classified as "SERVICE",
"ADULTS", and "EVERYONE", for instance. DENY disallows that class of people from passing
through locked doors. PERMIT removes a previously set DENY. LOCKDOWN sets DENY on the
entire base, even in rooms without a panel. A HOSTILE deny lockdown is automatically
triggered, as well as the intruder alert, if a hostile burglar is detected.
LOCK/UNLOCK ROOM/ALL
This command engages or disengages the door locking for the room, or all configured
rooms. Unless the room is locked, people who are set for DENY will still be able to
pass through the doors.
DEATH FIELD
This command engages or disengages the Death Field. All Sims set for "DENY" will be
killed if they walk into or out of the room. This option is not available on community lots.
ADD/CLEAR OVERRIDE
This command adds a specific Sim present on the lot to the OVERRIDE list,or removes
a previously set OVERRIDE. Sims set for OVERRIDE may pass through all doors locked
by this system on the lot regardless of permission settings.
INTRUDER ALERT
Activates or deactivates the alarm. All sims present in a room with a panel will be
awakened by the alarm. Lockdown will not auto-change when the alarm has been sounded.
A HOSTILE deny lockdown is automatically triggered, as well as the intruder alert,
if a hostile burglar is detected.
autosoc.zip - Object, not hack, not updated but should work in Nightlife
Adds "automatic socializing" to your sims: To use, either click on the target sim and choose
"Macro.../Socialize", or if holding a party, click on your sim and choose "Macro.../Socialize
Friends". Must be seen to be believed. Individual Socialize includes "Good" or "Bad". You decide!
autoyak.zip - Object, not hack, not updated but should work in Nightlife
Adds the following calling features to your phone:
I. CALL FRIENDS - Automatically picks and chooses existing friends and calls until relations
are repaired. Will not appear if you lack any friends in need of calling or if nobody
is available to be called (at work/school, too late, etc.)
II. CALL ENEMIES - Automatically picks and chooses existing disliked sims to harass until
relations bottom out (unilateral). Will not appear if you have nobody you dislike or
nobody can be harassed at this time (too early, not home).
III. CALL FAMILY - Presents a dialog of family members looked up in the phonebook, including
those you haven't personally met yet: Useful for introducing sims to their relatives
without ridiculous amounts of shuffling between lots. Will not appear if there are no
relatives with STR < 95: Use "Call Friends" instead.
nenechell:
babycontroller.zip - Object, not hack, not updated but should work in Nightlife
Are you tired of your sim's inept baby-care skills? Here is something new and more awesome:
It tells your sims how to do it instead. When combined with the anti-harassment package, it
is truly awesome. More awesome than YOU, anyway. Family members of the baby, or nannies,
will be directed to take care of the babies as needed. Whether you're just inept, or merely
lazy, the eye in the sky has got you covered.
I. PROCESS BABIES/TODDLERS IGNORE/MANAGE - Enables or disables the management of babies
or toddlers.
II. PROCESS BOTTLES IGNORE/DISPOSE/DISINTEGRATE - Decides what you want to do with used
bottles: Ignore them and let you deal with them yourself, instruct a sim to dispose
of it, or vaporize them as if you went to buy mode and deleted them.
III. OPTION: LOBOTOMIZE NANNY ON/OFF - Enables or disables a lobotomy-equipped nanny's
standard baby care loops. If the nanny is lobotomized it will spend its paid time
wandering around your lot doing autonomous visitor crap until the baby controller
directs it to perform child care. If not-lobotomized, it will harass your children
as normal. See Description of Lobotomy Package for details.
IV. OPTION: MANUAL OVERRIDE ON/OFF - If the override is enabled, the baby or toddler
will not be directed to do anything while it is selected, or a valid selected
caregiver is present in the room with it, allowing you to perform a manual
interaction without being interrupted.
V. ALWAYS SMART MILK ON/OFF - If this option is enabled, toddlers will preferentially
always be fed smart milk, in hopes of triggering the smart milk emitter bug which
sometimes causes them to retain the skill bonus into childhood, or maybe because
you just like doing it.
VI. WARNING BOX ON/OFF - If this option is enabled, a warning dialog will appear
once per half-hour if a baby requires attention but its relatives are all busy.
VII. EMERGENCY STOP/RESUME - If the emergency stop is chosen, all baby controller
options are suspended until resumed. Useful if the controller has gone berserk
or you have other big plan in mind.
bathroomusesyou.zip - Officially Nightlife Compatible
Are you tired of Sims using the bathroom all at once, causing bathroom pileups? Well,
in Soviet Russia, you don't use bathroom: Bathroom uses YOU! Handles many configurations
of bathroom, including single toilet + shower and multiple stall toilets + separate shower
rooms, or stall toilets + communal shower room. Accepts room-only and radial device
search modes. Compatible with all standard showers, toilets, and urinals. Because in Soviet
Russia, ass wipes YOU!
I. BE USED - Instructs the bathroom to use the Sim.
II. CONFIGURE SEARCH ROOM/RADIUS
a. ROOM ONLY: Controller will only search for devices inside current room.
b. RADIUS: Controller will search for devices within specified radius.
III. CONFIGURE SEEK ON/OFF
a. OFF: Bathroom will only use people found loitering in the bathroom.
b. ON: Bathroom will use resident sims as required. For optimal results,
place them at least one per bathroom minimum, preferably one per toilet.
For optimal results, the "stall" toilets are recommended.
bdaypartywantfix.zip - Unofficially Nightlife Compatible
Repairs an 0x85 "too many iterations" issue in the birthday party want, as well as
fixing it so it no longer attempts to want to throw birthday parties for nonresident
sims, because this is completely and utterly impossible.
breakupfix.zip - Unofficially Nightlife Compatible
Breaking up on with a non-resident no longer evicts the non-resident from his home.
If a married couple is living in separate houses when they break up, the breakup-ee
no longer is evicted. If a couple breaks up on a community lot, the breakup-ee no
longer is no longer sent to "The Family". You will have to move him out yourself.
callover.zip - Officially Nightlife Compatible
Sims will now run when called over if they are active or the distance they have to
travel is very far, rather than ambling across the lot at 2 mph taking 3 hours to
cross the other side, then turning around and going home because they need to pee now.
captainhero.zip- Officially Nightlife Compatible
Captain Hero will no longer be unable to go to work if you cancel his carpool because
you want him to pee first so he doesn't wet himself in a very unheroic manner when he
returns home. If Captain Hero's carpool is cancelled, he will receive the order to go
to work shortly if he has no instructions on his queue and is not overdue.
carpoolfix.zip - Not Nightlife Compatible
Inappropriately dressed friend from work: Friend is now properly dressed in accordance
with own rank. Unloading clog for vehicles with insufficient doors reduced. Inability
to load more than one Sim into a helicopter at a time without annoying queue drops fixed.
chatbugfix.zip - Not Nightlife Compatible
IN YOUR FACE, MAXIS! Kiss chat/jumping bug goodbye. Let the games begin!
clothingtool.zip - Officially Nightlife Compatible
It's a clothing tool. Lets you buy new clothes for your sims in all categories with a
single command (and inflated price premium!), and snarf career and special-event (wedding,
graduation, etc.) outfits worn by your sims for use in the "Plan Outfit" dresser, plan
all of your outfits at one click(after aging!), as well as gives you one last shot to
plan your outfits before returning home from college (if global override hook included in
zip is installed) so that your sims do not return to the fambly bin looking like hobos!
coffeecuphack.zip - Officially Nightlife Compatible
Sims no longer hike 30 miles in the snow uphill and against the wind both ways just so
they can put their coffee cups on a table. If no surface is nearby, they're content to
just drop the damn thing. They'll even put it straight into a dishwasher if one is
really close!
collegeclock.zip- Object, not hack, not updated but should work in Nightlife
1. Reset or Fast-forward College Timer back to either 72 hours or 1 hour.
2. Freeze College Clock for all controllable students in family via either pie
menu option or "aging off" for as long as a clock remains present on lot.
3. Reroll Lifetime Want if your sim wants something really lame and dumb!
4. Synchronize clock to selected sim so all residents have the same semesters.
comm-skilling.zip - Officially Nightlife Compatible
Controlled Sims, NPC's, and townies may gain skills while visiting community lots,
including non-college community lots. Notifications of skill-point gain will only
be displayed for controllable sims.
commlightson.zip - Unofficially Nightlife Compatible
Lights on Community lots are always on.
computerchatfix.zip - Not Nightlife Compatible - Discontinued for Nightlife
Another 0x85 bugfix for too many sims when chatting on the computer.
continuouspaint.zip - Unofficially Nightlife Compatible - Discontinued for Nightlife
"Paint Continuously" now appears as an option on the easel. When chosen, the sim
will paint a picture, then auto-sell it, then continue painting.
dailygardener.zip - Officially Nightlife Compatible
The Gardener will now come every day. Gardener next no longer maintained for conflict
avoidance - code modification only.
deathfix.zip - Officially Nightlife Compatible
Sims who die of old age now properly receive their tombstones and give out their
inheritances even in severely overcrowded neighborhoods with some 900 Sims living
and long dead.
dontwaveatme.zip - Officially Nightlife Compatible - ONLY FOR NIGHTLIFE
Sims no longer look and wave at you when they're upset or whatever, instead just
doing their thing (screaming, passing out, peeing themselves, dying) without
stopping to wave at you.
doorbell-quieter.zip - Unofficially Nightlife Compatible
Doorbell is no longer loud enough to wake the dead.
easybreakup.zip - Not Nightlife Compatible
Breaking up is now more available: You only need to be below 90 relationship.
encouragifactor.zip - Object, not hack, not updated but should work in Nightlife
Are you tired of the annoying micromanagement involved in trying to use the
Encourage options on your sim children? Is it so irritating that you give up
because you have to repeat it so many times to accomplish anything, and it cannot
be queued, and usually somebody wanders off in mid-encouragement? The Encouragificator
handles this task management for you! Simply choose Macro.../Encourage.../Whatever,
and it will automatically encourage the sim in question for you, over and over,
until a mood failure occurs or you tell it to stop.
NOTE: Like with normal Encourage, you cannot queue orders to occur after it,
as the Encourage system does not take well to this. As a result, if you queue
anything after encourage, the action will be terminated. Finally, you can whip
the lazy out of your miserable snot rag sim children!
enemiesaccumulate.zip - Unofficially Nightlife Compatible
Enemy status does not disappear over time if you ignore the relationship.
nenechell:
fasterbuyclothes.zip - Not Nightlife Compatible
Buying clothes no longer performs browsing as well - Sims simply go and get from
the rack, then pay. Try On flipping has been removed as well, to expedite getting
your Woohoo.
ffsdebugger.zip - Officially Nightlife Compatible
FEATURES:
I. FIX AWOL HEADMASTER
Detonates the Headmaster Controller, which can become corrupted and
prevent the headmaster from appearing correctly on your lots.
II. UPGRADE PRE-UNI SIM
Upgrades an Adult or Elder sim to 6 want slots/2 locks + Uni graduation
with no major. Most useful for pre-Uni sims so that they aren't
permanently confined to second-class citizen status.
III. CLEAR STUCK PARTY
Destroys the party controller, which can become corrupted and result
in the inability to hold parties, neverending parties, or corrupted
party scoring. Any currently in progress party is immediately terminated.
IV. RERANDOMIZE SIM GENERATOR
Scrambles the sim generator by advancing the sequence a random number of
places to avoid the identical-child-personality "firstborn" effect. Will
exit the lot without saving as a side effect. Save before use.
V. SET/REMOVE LIFETIME WANT BIT (non-Original)
Grants or revokes permanent platinum LTW status in a sim. Use for bugged
LTW satisfactions where status is not granted, to remove if you simply
don't like it, or because you're a cheating lamer.
VI. UNFREEZE VISITOR MOTIVES
Removes "static motives" flag from all visiting sims and dormies.
VII. KILL STUCK BILLS
Deletes all potentially stuck bills hiding on and off the lot.
VIII. CLEAR OFFWORLD LOITERERS
Indiscriminately removes all sims loitering invisibly off-lot. May cause
undesired side effects if used at the wrong time.
IX. REENABLE CONTROLS
Attempts to reenable build/buy/save/exit.
X. KILL GHOST EMITTER
Deletes the "haunted" emitters which cause sims to freak out at random
objects, even if ghosts are not present on the lot.
XI. FIX BROKEN MOOD BOOSTS
Fixes the platinum-asp mood boosts for all sims on the lot.
XII. UNSTICK ME (debug mode only) (experimental)
Attempts to unstick a sim that has lost the ability to move for some
unknown reason. Experimental.
XIII. NUKE STUCK MOVE OUT
Nukes the college move-out controller, which can become corrupted and
prevent sims from moving out of college.
XIV. RETRIEVE MISSING SIM
Attempts to retrieve a missing sim which is stuck off-world by teleporting
it to the mailbox and forcing an error.
XV. UNBLOCK FRIDGE TILES
Attempts to remove stuck invisible tiles potentially blocking fridges.
XVI. FIX FUNKY MOVEMENT (debug mode only) (experimental)
Attempts to force a sim back to walking normally and stop the "iceskater"

Re-issues a sim's diploma in the event that it is lost/stolen/eaten.
XVIII. MAKE ME SMART/STUPID (debug mode only)
Applies or removes "stuck smart milk" effect to sims.
XIX. FORCE ERRORS (experimental)
Forces all objects of specified locality (all/in-world/off-world) to
error. Do not run while debug mode is ineffect or thousands of error
dialogs may appear! May crash, freeze or spam your game. Consult your
doctor before use.
XX. TEST IQ
Returns percent-learning rate (100 is normal) for current sim.
XXI. RESPAWN TOMBSTONE (debug mode only) (experimental) (NL)
Regenerates a tombstone for a dead sim. Note that the dead sim must be
the selected sim, which means you must spawn him somehow, then make
him selectable and choose this command.
Not all options are displayed unless applicable to current sim and situation.
Not all options displayed are applicable.
firemod.zip - Officially Nightlife Compatible
Sims will no longer moth fires by panicking when something catches fire. Sims who
have seen more than one fire before will attempt to extinguish it rather than
panicking. Visitors finding your house to be on fire will immediately declare this
to be somebody else's problem and find an urgent and pressing interest in being
elsewhere, rather than going into aspirational failure....after all, why should
they care...unless they are on FIRE.
frontdoorhack.zip - Officially Nightlife Compatible
Delivery persons should no longer be irresistibly drawn to the inaccessible door
of the mausoleum in the backyard when making their deliveries. Garage doors are
not considered front doors regardless of level.
ghostbuster.zip - Object, not hack, not updated but should work in Nightlife
Any ghost that comes to a stop inside a room with one of these objects is
banished back to its urnstone. If the ghost is already *AT* its urnstone,
it will be zapped. Available as an aspirational award, for 12K. Because
we all have way too many ASPs to burn.
handheldfix.zip - Officially Nightlife Compatible
Schizophrenia and crush from Handheld game eliminated.
housepartyfix.zip - Not Nightlife Compatible
Throw Party for Birthday/House/Anniversary parties should no longer jump if
an excessive amount of dead wood is present in the neighborhood. Sims will
now only be able to invite people they actually know, but this is no real
loss because invited people not known by the calling sim would never attend
anyway. Not strictly necessary for TS2U but prunes down the list to people
who might actually have a snowball's chance in hell of showing up.
hugginghack.zip - Officially Nightlife Compatible
The parent-home-from-work hug will no longer wipe out your entire queue.
hygienebugfix.zip - Officially Nightlife Compatible - ONLY FOR NIGHTLIFE
Fixes bug in hygiene-code when a sim becomes stinky as a result of an external
action, (Me != Param0), because the original code by Maxis is munged. yay.
interactwogreet.zip - Officially Nightlife Compatible
Has it always bothered you that you have to greet people, thus giving them
free run to traipse through your house at will, even if the only thing you
plan to do is pummel the living crapola out of them for kicking your trashcan?
Want to just unceremoniously pummel the living crap out of them, or say a
word or two to passers-by, and then let them go on their way, without having
wave, hug, or do whatever it is that sims insists on doing? Want to beat the
snot out of that cow? Go for it!
laterbedtime.zip - Not Nightlife Compatible
Changes the time that parents come to retrieve their visiting children from
8:00 p.m. to 12:00 midnight.
lesswhiny.zip - Officially Nightlife Compatible
Sims whine less, particularly about stupid things.
lobonanny.zip - Not Nightlife Compatible
Caveat: The nanny lobotomization routines are not loaded into any preexisting
nannies due the way NPC code instantiation works. In order to install the
package completely, you must perform the following steps:
1. Open up this package (lobonanny.package) in SimPE and extract the one BHAV.
2. Open up your neighborhood in SimPE.
3. Note down the nannies' N###_User#####.package file numbers.
4. For each of the above files, select the BHAV with the same instance(0x1016)
as the one you extracted above, and REPLACE it with the extracted version.
5. Save your changed nanny character file.
If you don't understand the instructions above, or just can't be bothered because
this alternative approach is more amusing, forget about it and just kill all of
your old nannies by whatever means you find most expedient or amusing. You know
you want to.
This is a supporting package for the FFS Baby-O-Matic system that enables the
lobotomization of the nanny, deactivating all nanny-related work routines on command.
ltwvariety.zip - Officially Nightlife Compatible
Lifetime wants for careers are no longer strictly aspirationally correlated, and
will instead vary by appropriate interests and personality. Career-wants for varying
careers may appear outside of aspirational boundaries due to family influence, and
sim personalities will match desired occupation. Crazier lifetime wants (Marry Off
6 Children, Have 6 Grandchildren) will disappear in neighborhoods of advanced age
and therefore population to slow down Armageddon.
Macrotastics - Officially Nightlife Compatible
Most features accessed by clicking on your sim and choosing Macro.../Option.
I. HARVEST MONEY TREES - Harvests money trees on lot. Option appears if your
sim is in gold+ aspiration and you have money trees on your lot. Your sim
automatically travels from tree to tree harvesting the shinies until he
either runs out of trees or his mood becomes very critical, or he loses
gold aspiration.
II. PROCRASTINATE - Your sim will stand there and idle until you or something
else tells him to do something more intelligent, or motives become really
low. Option is only available in "Free Will", since the purpose of choosing
this is mostly to block your sim from choosing other actions if you want
him to simply wait for something.
III. USE BATHROOM - Your sim will seek out the nearest designated and appropriate
bathroom and perform bathroomly tasks. Requires properly installed and
configured FFS "Bathroom Uses You" controllers (>= v1.68). Option will not
appear if none are installed or appropriate.
IV. GO TO BED - Your sim will go to sleep in his designated bedroom. Requires
properly installed and configured FFS Sleep Clock. Option will not appear
if none are installed, or your sim is not assigned to any of them.
V. CONCENTRATE - Your sim will concentrate on his present task, boosting it
in priority so that it will not immediately drop if you queue another order
after it. Examples of when to use this include an autonomously chosen task
you want your sim to complete, not abort, when you queue things after it,
and tasks like "teach" or "help with homework", which have the annoying habit
of canceling themselves if you tell your sim to do anything after it.
VI. CLEAN/REPAIR/GARDEN - Your sim will seek out things to clean, repair, and
garden, using better search algorithm than "apparently at random" that the
maid/gardener use.
VII. TAKE OUT TRASH - Your sim will empty the trash. Including the trash
compactors. This will be automatically called after "CLEAN" is invoked,
or it can be called manually.
VIII. KICK STUFF - Your sim will seek out and kick the nearest flamingo or gnome,
re-standing them up if they fall automatically so that they can be kicked again.
Requires properly installed and accessible Lawn Flamingos and Gnomes. Fastest
source of fun in the entire game!
IX. CAFFEINATE - Your sim will chug-a-lug the coffee to restore his energy. Bathroom
breaks will automatically be taken as appropriate if "USE BATHROOM" option is
available. Chugging will continue until energy is filled or a critical motive
becomes too low and cannot be resolved.
X. DO HOMEWORK - Your sim will seek out homework belonging to him on the lot
(where-ever) they may be hidden, and do them. If Fun or Bladder is too low,
the sim will attempt to resolve the problem by kicking stuff or using the
bathroom before continuing.
XI. PAY BILLS - Seeks out the mailbox, fetches mail, and pays affordable bills.
XII. COLLEGE RAMPAGE! - Accessible from the "College" menu, begins a rampage where
your sim studies for college using all of the college tools until he maxes his
current grade-o-meter! All needs except hunger automatically are taken care
of during the rampage.
XIII. EAT - Sim will scavenge for available edible foods and eat foods that can
restore his hunger without being overfilling. If no foods are available,
sims with adequate cooking skills will cook one.
XIV. POWER IDLE - Sim will autonomously handle all basic needs. Will autonomously
call friends if AutoYak is available, using cellphone if available. Sim will
respond to any orders you give it while performing this function. If not
given any orders, and all needs are satisfied, sim will do something quiet
and non-disturbing, like cleaning the room or sitting quietly in a couch.
Will not bogart the desk chairs and render it impossible to use the computer.
manual-navigation.zip - Officially Nightlife Compatible
Navigation Orders (Go/Run/Skip Here) will no longer be erased from the queue if you
queue another order after it: Sims will now travel to their destinations by the route
and means of your choosing if you plot their route for them!
marriage-postmortum.zip - Officially Nightlife Compatible
The marriage "spouse" line is no longer automatically disconnected after death.
The surviving partner may remarry as usual, which will correctly connect the line to
the new partner and disconnect the old one, but unless the survivor remarries, when
he dies, their marriage line will still show as connected on the family tree, like
those of the deceased Maxian families.
marriage-traditional.zip - Officially Nightlife Compatible
Female gets male's last name, regardless of who initiates the proposal. Useful for
getting townie last names into the game, or just for those of us who like to do
things the traditional way. For same-sex unions, everybody keeps their own name,
but they still get a line on the family tree.
moneyorder.zip - Object, not hack, not updated but should work in Nightlife
Do you have The courage, the determination, and the five bucks? Buy this item
in Misc/Misc and send money to your Sim's friends and family! In pre-Uni games,
this object also serves as the controller for the receipt of money, so the receiving
Sim must live on a lot with one present, although it does not need to be used. Buy an
extra and bury it someplace out of sight and you can send and receive all the money
you want (NOT needed in Uni+). Or at least have. Yours for only one half of ten bucks.
moveoutbugfix.zip - Officially Nightlife Compatible
Eliminates overflow jump when sims move out.
nenechell:
nmefix.zip - Unofficially Nightlife Compatible - Discontinued for Nightlife
Fixes the jump/reset that occurs when two sims become enemies.
no20Khandouts.zip - Officially Nightlife Compatible
Eliminates the magic 20K handout when a sim moves out or graduates from college.
A sim moving out will simply take a proportional split of the cash reserves of
the current family. No more. No such thing as a free lunch. If a sim family breaks
up, the sim being booted out will take the minimum amount to afford a lot, 3K,
from the treasury if available. Otherwise, he gets whatever is left. If that's
not enough to afford even the odd 2x2 lot... too bad! Life's a bitch and then
you're raped by wild boars!
noaplusspam.zip - Officially Nightlife Compatible
Only the first A+ memory is recorded.
noagediscrimination.zip - Officially Nightlife Compatible
Gets rid of the "age discrimination" that locks elders into only crappy jobs,
also making it impossible to retire without "Get Useless Job" wants clogging
the want panel. To get a real job, use the computer. If, for some reason, you
actually WANT the lousy job, you can still get one with the newspaper
noagingswarm.zip - Officially Nightlife Compatible
Everyone and their dog will no longer swarm to the room where you have chosen
to have somebody grow up. Only people currently in the room and not busy doing
something will watch.
noassignmentlitter.zip - Not Nightlife Compatible
Assignments left behind by dormies or visiting sims disappear instead of taking
up valuable table and floor space.
noautoemail.zip - Not Nightlife Compatible - Discontinued for Nightlife
Sims should no longer check their email autonomously unless they have reason to
suspect there might be email (such as by actually having an email). No more
"Pippa has no new email dialogs."
nobabyharassment.zip - Not Nightlife Compatible
Are you tired of your sims poking, prodding, badgering, and otherwise harassing
your babies and toddlers 57 times an hour? This hack shuts off autonomous baby
pestering, in a non-pie-menu way.
nobogartingswings.zip - Officially Nightlife Compatible
Most sims teen and above will no longer bogart the swings. Certain sadly immature
individuals who also seem to enjoy playing Pirate in bathtubs will continue to
exhibit this obviously childish behavior, though.
nubuskers.zip - Officially Nightlife Compatible
Private homes and frat houses are no longer considered appropriate venues for
buskers to setup in, unless there is a party occurring.
nocheering.zip - Not Nightlife Compatible
1. Extended A+ Cheer
2. Bus Unloading Clog
nocollegeobsession.zip - Officially Nightlife Compatible
Other sims no longer obsess over other teens unless the teen is close enough to
adulthood as well. Teens no longer obsess over getting a ton of scholarships that
they aren't even close to qualifying for - the relevant wants only appear when
they can actually be met before disappearing.
nocorruptdeath.zip - Unofficially Nightlife Compatible
The formation of the corrupted death memory, as seen in gossip of the form
"jagged lines", "tombstone", "dead Sim", is now suppressed. Existing corrupted
death memory markers not affected, and will continue to spread unless eliminated
in SimPE. You can usually identify corrupted death markers, because one will
follow every directly-experienced death of visitor or family member, and is
flagged "invisible", with no event owner. It will spread to other Sims in gossip,
and all memories of this form (no event owner, $Subject Died, Dead Sim), are
corrupted "jagged line" memories. Delete these whenever they show up in gossip,
noting which sim possesses them, and which sim received it. Find the corrupted
memory in both Sims and expunge it from anyone you can find.
For non-advanced or lazy users, you're stuck with your existing jagged lines for
now. New neighborhoods will be clean
nocrybabies.zip - Officially Nightlife Compatible
Sims who are not nice will not cry from being teased by another sim. The only sims
who will cry are "nice" sims
nodeanspam.zip - Officially Nightlife Compatible
Only the first Dean's List memory is recorded.
nodormiespawns.zip - Officially Nightlife Compatible
Dormies no longer spawn when vacancies exist in dorms. Existing dormies are unaffected
and continue to function normally. Special-university townies like the Secret Society
members should be unaffected - only the random dormie population is affected
nodroptiredbaby.zip - Officially Nightlife Compatible
Eliminates pointless dropping of tired babies and toddlers. Since when could people
not hold onto an unconcious baby, anyway?
noeatcrap.zip - Officially Nightlife Compatible
Sims (who are not fat or lazy) will no longer stuff themselves until they explode.
Lazy and fat sims will continue to eat everything and thus can still become fat,
because sometimes, you just want fat people. Sims who would not eat out of a trash
can will cease eating food that has gone spoiled.
Sims will talk considerably less when eating, especially if they are in a hurry
(because they're tired, starving, need to pee, have more orders), or if they're
eating without the benefit of chairs.
nofraternization.zip - Not Nightlife Compatible
Sims will only bring co-workers home from the same job level that they are
currently on.
nogizmowants.zip - Officially Nightlife Compatible
Sims will no longer want to buy useless gizmos, unless a kiosk is actually
present, or they actually could make use of a cellphone. Wants to play handheld
games no longer appear unless the sims actually HAVE one.
nogreekmadness.zip - Officially Nightlife Compatible
Sims should no longer wish to join Greek houses if none exist on campus.
noinfluenceobsession.zip - Officially Nightlife Compatible
Reduces the obsessively irritating "influence someone to do something that doesn't
need doing" wants. Sims will only exhibit influence wants during a narrow window
of influence-opportunity between having a half-full influence bar and being filled
(after which they learn you are not playing silly influence games and stop asking).
noplagiarism.zip - Officially Nightlife Compatible
The memory and want satisfaction are now correctly assigned even if somebody else
answers the publisher phone call. The typewriter will thus appear over the head
of the author, not merely the person who happens to pick up the phone.
nopuddlerage - Officially Nightlife Compatible
Neat Sims no longer become irrationally furious at someone when told to clean a
puddle (right after enthusiastically cheering, at that!). Game apparently does
not distinguish terribly well between puddles of pee, puddles from water
balloons (which were thrown by the sim in the first place!), puddles from
showers, puddles from puddles...
norabbitspin.zip - Officially Nightlife Compatible
Do you hate the way the rabbit toy spins whenever you cancel the order to use it,
usually causing it to spin to an inaccessible facing? Is it just creepy? This hack
makes the damn rabbit STAY facing the way you put it, unless actually blocked, not
merely because you cancelled it! Nyah
norandomcrush.zip - Officially Nightlife Compatible
Eliminates the random crushes caused by giving lessons on career objects and the
"Cheer Up" interaction.
norandomflirtwants.zip - Officially Nightlife Compatible
Non-Romance Sims no longer want to flirt with everything that moves, unless they
and the intended target are available, or they are already involved.
noressurectwant.zip - Unofficially Nightlife Compatible
Sims are not spammed with wants to resurrect other sims
noretiredjobspam.zip - Officially Nightlife Compatible
Eliminates the endless annoyance of being bombarded with "get a crappy useless
minimum wage job" for retired elders, so they can actually enjoy being RETIRED
without being flooded with 4-6 "get useless job in random field" wants for the
rest of their lives.
noreunionmemory.zip - Officially Nightlife Compatible
Family reunions no longer generate tons of blank memories.
noroadpillows.zip - Officially Nightlife Compatible
Sims may no longer hold pillow fights in the road: The target must now be in the
same room, and a nearby bed in the room is required.
noroutefail.zip - Not Nightlife Compatible
This is an improved version of the original "No Route Fail" that retains
some feedback (the route failure thought) and reduces the abruptness of the
stop, while continuing to eliminate the screaming hissy fit in the annoyingly
loud, obnoxious, and generally violence-inducing voice. Now you can see that
something is clearly blocked if you did it on accident, without having to
constantly listen to that screaming if it is, in fact, blocked deliberately
and you have no intent of moving it precisely because you DON'T want them
to have access.
noshockforoutgoing.zip - Officially Nightlife Compatible
Outgoing sims will no longer shriek when they see other sims naked.
nosmartmilkdrag.zip - Officially Nightlife Compatible
Gets rid of the 5-mile-baby-drag when feeding a toddler smart milk: The toddler
is no longer pointlessly and unnecessarily picked up unless it is inside the crib.
nossrespawn.zip - Not Nightlife Compatible
Eliminates re-spawning of Secret Society members. Secret Society members should
not be spawned to replace ones you happen to kill for whatever reason, except
as a very last resort of total desperation (which should be near-impossible, but
is there just in case), in which it will create one member. If there are not enough
SS members, when the game attempts to generate one, it will, instead of generating
a new NPC, induct a YA townie instead, and use him. The game will also not insist
on generating more to fill max visitor count when you are abducted (IF you still
are abducted: should theoretically work with no-abduct). Therefore, if there is
no SS townie, the game will first attempt to create one by promoting an existing
YA townie. If it cannot, it will only create one if there is not even a single
available member to perform the initiation ceremony. If for some reason your
university has a dormie population of zero, don't kill this last guy.
nostrangerdance.zip - Not Nightlife Compatible - Discontinued for Nightlife
Gets rid of a Sim's desire to dance with total strangers. A sim will no longer
offer to dance with anyone that it would not have accepted a dance invitation from.
notelepathy.zip - Not Nightlife Compatible
Most memories are no longer transmitted telepathically to relatives that they have
never even met before. They can still be passed normally by gossip, but memories
do not begin appearing in the relative's memory bar unless they've actually met
that person.
noteleportpuddle.zip - Not Nightlife Compatible
Puddles of water don't magically teleport to weird locations, like the other side
of the fence.
notwoniechildren.zip - Not Nightlife Compatible - Discontinued for Nightlife
Townie children no longer regenerate when removed from the townie pool. Existing
townie children are unaffected and continue to function normally. If removed from
the pool, they will be replaced by adult townies.
notownieregen.zip - Officially Nightlife Compatible
Townies no longer regenerate when removed from the townie pool. Existing townies
are unaffected and continue to function normally. Service NPCs continue to be
generated as needed.
noturnoffcomputer.zip - Not Nightlife Compatible
Sims should no longer autonomously turn off the computer. Who the hell turns off
computers, anyway?
nouniprotect.zip - Officially Nightlife Compatible - ONLY FOR NIGHTLIFE
Disables the "magic invulnerability protection" given to non-selectables in Uni
dorms and frathouses that appears to have activated itself due to NL/patch.
Dormies and visitors will now be required to eat, sleep, pee, and bathe like
everyone else again. Hilarity ensues!
nounlinkondelete.zip - Offiially Nightlife Compatible - ONLY FOR NIGHTLIFE
Game no longer partially destroys sim file on deletion of tombstone. May
resolve potential random tombstone losses when moving tombstones to community
lots resulting from shredded character files produced by unlinkage. May also
contribute to global warming.
novanishindorms.zip - Officially Nightlife Compatible
Non-dormies no longer vanish into dorm rooms.
nowhatsthis.zip - Officially Nightlife Compatible
No more "What's This?" and "Where did it go" actions. If they appear at all,
they will not cause the sim to take any direct action.
novelprogress.zip - Officially Nightlife Compatible
Adds a progress bar when a Sim attempts to write a novel after Creativity
is maxed indicating the progress of the novel-writing.
