Title: Cutting down on bee attacks?
Post by: Sivany on 2008 April 06, 23:33:13
I've done a few searches but I can't find anything so I'm hoping someone here knows whether this does/doesn't exist.

I'd love to find something that cuts down on the chances of bee attacks happening when the sims is doing the "hunt bugs" interaction. At the moment I'd say 95% of my bug hunting interactions end in this happening, often with the sims getting under 1 sim hour of bug hunting time in before it occurs.

This seems ridiculous to me. I mean how often do people get chased by bees? And how many of those incidents actually occur in your back garden? I'd say not very many at all. I know if I got chased by bees in my garden I'd be calling pest control to make sure it didn't happen again, rather than say, going out to hunt bugs again the next day and immediately getting attacked by a swarm of bees again.

Added to that the sim's reaction is funny once, maybe twice, and then it become annoying because it drags on and on.

Sounds like you want Fewer Bee Swarms (http://box156.bluehost.com/~aestudi1/forums/inteenimater/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=1108) by Jase, over at Inteen.

That's perfect, thank you! Google searches of related key words only turned up pages and pages of videos of sims being chased by bee swarms, and now TwoJeffs is gone I never visit InTeen, guess I need to remember it's good for more than just the kitten killer.

I have only had the bee swarm once during a bug hunt, but it happens almost every time my nature loving sim takes a hike.  Out of between ten and fifteen hikes, IIRC, only two have not resulted in a swarm, and one of those he got lost, or whatever makes them lose a logic point.  I basically just use the hike as a way to lower comfort and energy if I need to for some reason, as a swarm is basically a given, but I would love to alleviate this problem.  Any advice, anyone?
