Testers Wanted: Dance Together - Teens and Older (Updated 3/15/2008)
syberspunk:
Dance Together - Teen and Older v1.03 for TS2FT v1.0p1
Made by: syberspunk
Note: I am basically posting this here as well since some people may not want to bother heading over to MTS2. ;D
As requested over at MATY this hack re-enables the "Dance Together" interaction between teens and older. Apparently this interaction was disabled in Nightlife, and is no longer available between teens and older sims. Whether this was done by accident or as designed is unknown. :shrug: This hack basically re-enables the interaction so teens can once again dance with their older sibs, parents, grand parents, and adult friends. :)
INSTALLATION:
These MUST be in your Downloads folder, typically found under:
C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\My Documents\EA GAMES\The Sims 2\Downloads
Compatibility:
:!!: Nightlife or later. This will NOT work in the base game or Uni (it probably isn't needed).
I have tested this in my game and it appears to work fine.
This hack is compatible with most, if not all mods by MATY crew (Pescado, TJ, and CBoy), dizzy, and probably more. Again, up to you to help me determine any possible conflicts.
:busted: This hack is probably not necessary if you have the InTeenimater.
However, I have discovered that it is compatible with JenFlower's Teen Woohoo (non-pregnancy). After testing with Teen Woohoo alone, I found that my Teen sims still could not dance with their parents. The two hacks seem to work together fine in my game.
:!!: REMINDER and fine print (to cover my ass ) :
Remember to ALWAYS BACK UP YOUR DATA BEFORE INSTALLING NEW HACKS. By using this hack, you agree to absolve me of any responsibility or liability for any potential loss of or damage to your data. You have been warned.
:!!: HOW TO REPORT: Conflicts, problems, or errors
I would appreciate any constructive criticism and feedback that is actually helpful. With that in mind, it would be helpful, when reporting any conflicts or issues, that you include the following:
1) thorough but reasonably brief description of what you were doing
2) clear, comprehendible explanation of your problem
3) list of hacks that may be related to teen interactions or dancing
4) archived (.rar or .zip) of log produced by error
Posts which do not include a clear description of what your problem is will be pretty much ignored. (i.e. posts such as "This does not work! I am taking it out! You suck! Nice try! etc.") I can't and won't help you if you don't explain what's wrong.
Please be nice when trying to explain your problem and I might be nice and help you.
:grouphug: Finally, my Thank Yous go to:
Kyna for the request over at MATY. J.M. Pescado, twojeffs, dizzy2, and jase439 for being excellent tutors and providing excellent models in their mods. As always, thanks to those creators who've put out some excellent modding tutorials, Quaxi and co for SimPE, and dizzy2 for disaSim2, and the finally letters T and S, and the number 2, all of whom, without which this mod would not be possible.
If I left anyone out, I apologize in advance. You know who you are and you deserve my thanks.
Version History:
v1.01 - Fixed bug involving "Flirt - Feed Bite" table romantic interaction
v1.02 - Minor tweak to improve compatibility for future EPs
v1.03 - updated for Free Time
Ness:
thanks syberspunk!
limited testing so far has seen my teen sims dance with adults and elders... I'm a happy ness once more!
Kyna:
Thanks for this Syberspunk.
I can stop sending my teens on outings together all the time just to get the dancing scholarship. I enjoy watching my sims on outings (and it's always fun to watch my other sims who are not part of the outing, but happen to be present on the lot) but sometimes outings break up the rhythm of the lot I'm playing. I was starting to resent having to do outings for each generation of teens in my 'hoods. Not to mention the continual maintenance of the Teens group - keeping track of who has just aged into or out of the group, working out which of my current teens knows a newly transitioned teen, and remembering when I play their lot to add the new member to the group.
It was much simpler when a parent or grandparent or other older household member could teach them dancing.
I'll be playtesting this mod once I'm done reading the forum.
EDIT: I just took a look at your pics. Those blue bars over their heads - are they showing the progress of the dancing skill? Or is that to do with your other dancing related mod?
