Bonehilda
kissing_toast:
Here is an altered Bonehilda XML, I have no clue as to the scope of the "10" in the distance field so I set it to twenty. I don't have time right now to test so leave any comments about it. It says in the XML that anything higher than 10 might cause problems, I can't think of anything that would happen from her traveling to far for work. There is a separate Bonehilda XML that tells her to teleport back to the coffin if she can't find it after three attempts so that shouldn't be an issue. I'm sure this might help while someone more experienced gets out a better Bonehilda mod. When I get the chance I'm going to compare her XML to the real maids, maybe combine them?

My unmodded (as far as I can tell, though I've modded my maids) Bonehilda is in the front room on the bottom floor (on the foundation), right next to the kitchen. She has never cooked for anyone but herself (why she doesn't have static motives I don't understand), she'll clean most everything (though I think she hasn't picked up some plasma juice boxes in the kitchen, so maybe she just doesn't like the kitchen), and she'll go outside and water as many plants as she can find. She even went all the way up to the third floor to water the potted plants. Apparently, if you have the rock piles on your home lot (the ones from WA that your sims can take a pickaxe to), she will take the time to remove them for you.
I don't really understand her at all.
By 'min 3' does that mean she doesn't do anything in any room less than three rooms/doors from her? That would explain her ignoring my kitchen.
I'll test your mod out, KT.

My Bonehilda doesn't cook, but sets out bowls of cereal and cans of juice all over the damn place, but only if someone is almost to yellow in Hunger.

Baaaa KT. My Bonehilda coffin is placed outside the house. My sims live in a two story house without a basement and she cleans and repairs everything immediately. She's especially useful since my sim don't shoo her away when they use the bathroom and toilet when she's in the same room. It doesn't matter how hungry my sims are, she never cooks nor put out plates of food for them. The family doesn't have any pets nor babies and toddlers so I haven't experienced the cuddle and train to death annoyances.
If you'd be so kind or anybody else willing to do it for that matter, here's how I think she ought to be tweaked.
1. Let her keep on taking care of the pets and little ones but tone it down as not to love 'em to death
2. She waters the plants only when they actually need watering
3. She cooks only when the sim's hunger bar is really low
4. She doesn't cook if there are leftovers in the fridge
5. She cleans the fishing tanks and feeds the fish
6. She cleans terrariums and bird cages and feeds the pets
7. She does the laundry
I don't have any laundry items in the household so I'm going by complaints posted over at MTS. In many, many ways Bonehilda is a lot more useful than the butler and she takes less space. I think with a few tweaks she'll be the perfect housekeeper. So far, I'm very pleased with her myself. Personally I don't need her to water my plants since I always install sprinklers for my gardeners.
Madame Mim:
Mine does laundry.
Oh, and baaaa to Inge for the apple link, thanks.
