Anti-Foodnapping Hack

It would be nice if there was a "wake up" interaction for visitors. I mean, can't your sim shake them, or yell in their ear? I've never had a visitor foodnap, but I get a little annoyed when a sim woohoos with a visitor who is just slightly in the yellow on energy and they proceed to sleep until 6 am, or the date ends. I sometimes resort to "cheating" and make them selectable, wake them up, then make them unselectable (I use InSIMinator, but you could use Merola's mirror, too).
When a visitor fall asleep in bed after a woohoo session, if one Sim is awake on the lot, you can clic on that visitor and select "shoo". The visitor will wake up and get out of bed.
And thanks JM, pregnant Sim will no longer die for silly and conflicting reasons from now on.

Anyway, I am not going to use this because one of my main joys is watching the dormies fall asleep in their food and thinking "Another dormie death?!" in an excited, anticipatory manner.
I'm on the fence on this one, too, for the same reason. I took a snapshot for that dorm's photo album because one of the dormies was "foodnapping" and my sim was sitting at the table with her, eating and chatting while the dormie snoozed away. At one point my sim's talk bubble showed the hourglass, and that's when I took the picture. It's labeled "Oh, grow up already, Adrianne! Get up and go to bed!" "Twas quite funny at the time.
But I hate when a pregnant sim who's trying to get some food in her plops face-first into her bowl, and I can't get her to wake up long enough to eat a sufficient amount before going to bed. And I know that if she wasn't pregnant or wasn't eating, for crying out loud, she wouldn't be passing out at that energy level.
So I'm going to download this and use it when I'm playing residential lots and take it out when I'm playing Uni. Seems to be the best for both, at least for me!
Thanks again, JM!

That seems like a cumbersome method of doing it. Besides, dormies will still pass out into their food plenty often. Why, just a few minutes ago, a dormie took a foodnap into his food. And this was installed. As Ancient said, he hasn't actually seen a dormie DIE from foodnapping normally anyway.
ElviraGoth:
Oh, well then, as long as they still pass out I'll just leave it in.
BTW, since putting in the nouniprotect I've had two dormie sims die. And the latest one was - wait for it - Marsha Bruenig! (The YA dormie version of her is a real bitch, so MWAHAHAA!)

Ancient Sim is a female.

I just had a dormie die coming back from class at the large dorm at La Fiesta Tech. She came back from class and turned into a tombstone. I didn't realize it until my knowledge sim wanted to see her ghost.
