Hacks needed desperately

I have had the abort bedmaking mod for a long time. And of course that stops it but they keep generating the action over and over until I let someone make the bed. They weren't so insistent about it before. Or maybe I notice it more since putting double beds in my dorms.
I'm not sure if anything changed with Seasons, as I haven't installed it yet, but usually you just have to queue other actions after cancelling the 'make bed' action, and the sim(s) will forget about the bed-making. This is with abortbedmaking installed, of course. Otherwise, the sim(s) will insist on making the bed, with no way to cancel the action.

Marhis, I tried your mod, works pretty well ( thanks :) ), but I did notice one thing that could use a tweak:
Sims cancel playing the instrument when Fun is full, even if the player directed them to do it... so playing instruments no longer works well for upping skills. I would think the ideal fix would be to just cancel the autonomous music-playing when Fun is full?
I can tell I'd be fired within a week if I worked at EA. There are so many issues that greatly mess up the game and could be fixed in minutes, I'd be a complete pain-in-the-ass until they were all gone, or I was. :)

Just use something other than the instruments for creativity skill building. I tend to use the easels or computers myself 'cos they make moolah while skill building ;D
cwykes:
If the sims are broke, I uses easels cos they are a lot cheaper than computers and generate income. If they aren't broke, I go for a piano - that builds skills faster according to that war room thread of Pescado's and if they can afford a piano, they don'r need the money from selling crappy paintings. Even better is the slacker aspiration reward with a tutor. Fast skill building plus money.

Well of course I can do that - my point was just that the mod would be improved if it only cancelled autonomous instrument use. :)
Even better would be if it (or another mod) could remove performing for tips on residential lots. It's annoying and really weird to have a teen drop a cup for tips on the floor of the living room, and have house guests run from all over to toss money into it. :)
