Hacking the Aspiration Meter - Is it possible?
Singularity:
Alright, I'm reasonably sure this is a stupid, non-awesome question, but I figured that I'd ask anyway. What I'd like to do is essentially make the aspiration meter caps twice as high. I've searched on google and in these forums and haven't found much. All I've come across that's reasonably promising is in this thread: http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,481.msg17475.html#msg17475
I tried editing wantTuning.package, but it doesn't seem to have any effect. I know I should assume that if it were possible it would have been done already, but, well, it's worth a shot, right? :-X
J. M. Pescado:
It is possible to adjust the raw pointcapacity of aspirational meters (although I'm not sure HOW offhand), but I do not see what productive purpose will be accomplished by this, since increasing the maximum capacity of the meter will also correspondingly increase the decay, which is percentage-based.
Singularity:
Darn, I was hoping to cut the decay in half too. The reasoning would then be that it takes twice as many points to become platinum, the platinum also lasts twice as long. I just get annoyed when they fulfill some large Want when their meter is maxed because it doesn't keep them in platinum mood any longer. Doesn't matter if the Fortune Sim was already in platinum when he married a rich sim or something equally lofty, he still only has platinum mood for 8-odd hours. That means that, when already platinum, small wants are better than large ones, and in a perfect world they wouldn't be. Ah... ignore me, I seem to have rambled on... :)
Ness:
Hook at one stage managed to change the rate of decay for perma-plat only sims in his semi-perma-plat hack. Might be worth talking to him or checking it out for ideas.
ZephyrZodiac:
What really bugs me is how it seems to vary between sims (I don't mean by age-group) - some just seem to stay up there longer than others. And some sims can lose their jobs and sink really low in almost every motive, but stay up in platinum! I mean, if you lose your job, wouldn't that be the first to plummet?
