More Awesome Than You!

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.

This problem tentatively classified as "Critical" and is roughly along the same level of severity as the Pool Light Bug and the Clothing Event Bug.

Tentatively, shmentatively. If you even suspect it could become 'critical', I'm downloading. So far you're batting 1000 in your predictions, and that's good enough for me.

Yeah, If Pescado says it's a potiental critical issue I'm downloading the fix. Since I am not awesome I bow to the wisdom of those who are More Awesome Than Me.

Don't rip me a new one but does this have anything to do with the new turn on stinky?

The code changes to support the "Stinky" turn on is indeed what causes it (although nobody actually needs to be turned on by it for the bug to hit). Due to the nature of the bug, it can appear to strike at random without warning, causing sims and objects to reset themselves with no apparent cause.

Thanks so much, Hacking God! :)

Another save, no doubt.

You speak, we download/install. Just out of curiosity, though, what would be the early symptoms of needing this in a hurry? In case others describe them...

Basically, it can cause random jumping out of things. The code is essentially completely wrong.

Thank you ~ I think I probably need it, then.

AH-HA!!! So *that* is what's been screwing up my game! I took out EVERY hack and re-installed and STILL had the screwey ^%^*$% !!!! GRRRRR!!! 

This explains a lot on my my sims have been jumping downtown ;D Thanks.

*nods*

Yep, lotsa jumping here too. 

Downloading...wheeee...JM has Nightlife....downloading another fix....whee-eeee-eeeee

So Jm does this kill the stinky turn on? or is it still alive and kickin. :)

Alive and kicking.

Thank you el Presidente !!! Your awesomeness has found what causes my sims act like they have a jump bug again.

Thanks!

I was wondering why my fit sim jumped up from the table while on a date... 

Here's to something you don't know you need until someone tells ya...  I wondered why I had 2 sims jump up from the table when dining downtown.  The jumping reset the date so they wanted to dine out again!  Thanks for the fix, JM.

I've noticed that even if a Sim has "Stink" as a turn-on, they still react in the same way to smelly people - i.e., they pull a face and get a "Be Disgusted" icon.  I don't think I've ever seen a positive reaction to it from those who are supposed to be turned-on by it.  This is probably due to the same bad programming as that which causes Sims turned-off by certain Sims to still swoon over them if they happen to be Romance. 

Will this mod fix this?

No, that's an unrelated thing, the "Smells Bad" emitter. Sorta like the Romance sim is the "Me So Sexy" emitter, which has nothing to do with NL and ignores all of the code pertaining to attraction.

I wasn't going to get this until I read down further about the jumping out of actions.  I get that.  Now, hopefully, I won't have it anymore.  :-*

I get the jumping too, but I always assumed that was because I accidentally deleted a furious token from this particular Sim when I was cleaning out his memories, because he was the only one with the jumping. I made him re-furious with them and let it run out as normal, but he still jumps out of certain activities. The Bathroom Uses You hack reacts badly with him as well - he's constantly jumping back and being re-used, so it's a bad loop. Without the bathroom hack he just jumps out of using the toilet. I'll try this fix just in case, though, and it's always good to prevent stupid things...

Is this still needed with OFB and/or FFS (Anyone else think Maxis named Family Fun Stuff that just to take advantage of JM's popularity, or is it just me?)

It's not in the list of OFB hacks, so I'd say it's not necessary for it.

No, but I did do a double take when I noticed both the FFS name and then the Los Pescados object fish things.  My feeling was that they were giving him a nod in recognition of what he does for the community.  I thought perhaps others felt the same, but maybe not.
