Does the "Clean House" (or whatever it is in Portuguese) interaction appear when there's nothing "cleanable" on the lot but clean clothes on a clothesline or in a dryer? Do neat sims handle that on their clean house interaction?
Actually, I meant the CleanHouseForEveryone mod. But since you're probably not noticing that it's a different thing than the thing neat sims can do (like intended), I just assume that this mod is indeed fully localized.

Updated Inform About Deaths to show the cause of death.

The whole thing is completely in Portuguese for you, right? Well, except that debugging notification, that never was supposed to be witnessed by anyone but me.

Not hard at all. I have yet to see a sim die from something else than old age, though.

The mod handles dirty plates and puddles and AFAIK everything that can get dirty from the base game without problems. What's funny (or not) is that the EAxis clean house interaction didn't actually change. I'm not too surprised, though. For whatever reasons I had a hard time getting the initial code to make beds, too. In the end, I had to bypass that part manually. That's what I did for clothes now, too. Give the Experimental Version 2 a spin, and tell me if it does the trick. Obviously, without having Ambitions I had to take an educated guess on how this stuff is working. I have no idea what will happen, if there are no washing machines for dry clothes or clotheslines/dryers for wet clothes on the lot.

Is this mod fully localized for you BTW?

Well, at least it's a different problem now.

It is. It's one of the debugging messages I didn't bother to comment out, since it's not supposed to come up. Ever. Unfortunately I don't have Ambitions, otherwise you could upload your savegame and I could actually see what is going wrong. This might become difficult. Do you know what on the lot was cleanable at that time? Oh, wait, there can be piles of dirty clothes now, right? Are there other new cleanable things, now?

That is wrong. Elders age just the same as every other sim. They have a certain minimum lifespan and once that is reached they have a certain daily chance to drop dead. And dropping dead is totally a function of aging. It's getting handled in the DayPassedCallback() in the AgingManager class.

The interactions get only added to the Hi-Def-Mirrors. If they don't show up on the Hi-Def-Mirror see if other scripting mods work. There isn't really anything I can do about that from here, though, since it obviously works here or I wouldn't have released that thing in the first place.

I will add the version headers to the mods in the future, so they don't provoke the nag screen anymore. Problem with that is, that I can't test if it works, since the nag screen doesn't show up for my mods here.

You just don't get it, do you? When a user allows his game behavior getting logged, they already have all the most confidential data from this specific user they can get. For the users they already fuck, the optional data logging doesn't make the matter any more serious. For the users who don't let themselves getting fucked, it's no concern anyway.

So if a guy beats you down and rapes you, can things really get worse if he asks you to take a peek in your wallet afterwards?


Judging by the sims forums out there, TS3 is precisely what the majority of players want.
Surveys are nowhere as conclusive as a code-generated analysis. That is a fact.

With the patch the script resources got an additional 2 byte key, which stores the version number as it seems. It wouldn't suprise me, if that version number is actually everything that gets checked before the bitching and whining begins.

Updated to version 10.1.
Please update. There's a bug in V10 which prevents to load worlds after loading a world once (applies to WA destinations, too).

BTW: This bug is present in the obsolete version 9.1, too. I won't debug that version, though, because I don't want to and the code doesn't even exist anymore.

Same Energy Gain For Every Bed updated to version 1.1
Please update. There's a bug in V1 which prevents to load worlds after loading a world once (applies to WA destinations, too).

Yes, I just spotted this myself. With my mods in the game, the game will load a world once and then stall the next time. I'm trying to provoke this bug with a debugging package as we speak but thus far I've been unsuccessful. Do you use other mods from me which don't cause this by any chance?

Sorry about that. I hardly ever reload. I just load a game test-play a mod, quit the game, change the mod and load again. That's why I never spotted this before. Impossible to tell how long it's been that way.

How does that matter? Everything they can collect at that point is harmless in comparison to what they're already collecting. I see no alternative to analyzing the player's behaviour and feature usage to better tailor the product to the player. I think this is kind of a naive approach, though. Of course you have to give the players what they expect, but that alone will never satisfy them.

Same Energy Gain For Every Bed Uploaded.
Yes, I know. You've seen plenty of these things. But these are XML mods and will fail every time a bed brings his own tuning XML. This mod will affect every single object of the bed type, no matter where it's coming from. And it will stay functional as long as the bed class itself doesn't get changed by EA. Use the SetBedEnergy cheat to configure it. The default is 1.36.

BTW: Remember to use the point as decimal separator not the comma. I tried to parse the input to identify both as decimal separator. I think I lost a couple braincells until I figured out that it's futile because - for reasons I cannot comprehend - the parameters get passed pre-parsed by the EAxian code with everything beginning with a comma being thrown away.


Concerning the marriage notifier
It's been a while since I saw a 'hood being ruled purely by EAxian Storymode, and what I saw was kind of eyebrow-elevating. It seems that whenever this abomination generates a new homeless family, it pukes multiple marriage events over the place with increasing borkedness. It even dares to throw marriage events for sims who don't even have a partner. So... I could stuff the code with sanity checks to try to distinguish the events that make sense from the ones that don't. However, I don't really see the point. And I don't really feel like making sense of something that doesn't make sense to begin with. So I have decided to leave it as it is for now. Thanks for your cooperation.

I've noticed no difference. Maybe the game is more resilient regarding bad CC now and one of your packages is corrupt.

She probably already belongs to the NPC household, but isn't assigned to any particular service. I don't know of a way to add a sim to a service. That is, a way that's available right now. I'll look into it. It's probably easy to do with a scripting mod.

No, shooters are just as realtime-rendered as TS3. For modern shooters dynamic lights and shadows are on an entirely different level in comparison to TS3.

A big difference is that objects get recycled to a great extent. There are only so much trees, so much shrubs etc. and placing one object a dozen times is less demanding than placing a dozen objects once.

In shooters the reach of vision is greater and the LOD boundaries a farther apart. There's no big difference in the end. At least not in favor of TS3.

Probably.

Seems like the typical MATY user isn't a bit more informed than the users of the sheeple forums. The typical MATY user is more adept in spreading FUD, though.

EA and basically every publisher out there are spying on you for years now without asking for permission. Virtually every game executable will collect data and send it home. If you let it. If you let the TS3 executable or the launcher connect to the internet, the EA folks almost definitely already know if you use an arred game by the serial. They probably know if you use arred store content, too.

Logging your gameplay and asking for permission to do so is absolutely harmless. All they want to know, is what features are used the most/least for future development.

This is an old issue. There's probably a sim somewhere causing this. Resetsim would help, but there's no way to know which one it is. Once AM is updated, try resetworld. It worked for me.

Updated to be compatible with game version 1.12/2.7/3.3/4.0

Inform About Births - updated / not mandatory but recommended
Inform About Deaths - updated / mandatory
Inform About Marriages - updated / not mandatory but recommended
Clean House For Everyone - not updated / update not necessary
Car Pool Disabler - updated / mandatory

Updated to version 9.
You'll need to update the Aging Manager to version 9 to use it with game version 1.12/2.7/3.3/4.0. Also Aging Manager version 9 is not backwards compatible with older game versions.

Updated to version 10. See first post for details.
You'll need to update BCM to version 10 to use it with game version 1.12/2.7/3.3/4.0. Also BCM version 10 is not backwards compatible with older game versions.

Similar things happened here, too. To a lesser degree, though. Sometimes the object from the new version seems to get "disturbed" by the object of the old version (which gets saved with the savegame), despite the script cache being deleted. Seems to happen, when there are only minor signature changes, i.e. too minor for the framework to treat the mod as an entirely different object.

Is "RegenerateBooks" still the right way to restock books in the library? The bookshelves in the library of my current testing 'hood got eaten by ... something. I placed new bookshelves and used the regeneratebooks cheat, but it didn't do anything. There's probably something borked, but what?

I noticed that I can click on pregnant sims in labor who are total strangers to my active sim and escort them to the hospital. Is this supposed to be possible or is it a failing interaction test?

Is "TowDerelicts" supposed to destroy stuck bikes too?

Inform About Deaths updated to V2.1.
There was a bug in there, which could cause the same notification to be shown over and over agin. Plus I tweaked it so the "Reference Lost" messages shouldn't come up again. They were never supposed to be witnessed in the first place, and of course they didn't show up while testing.
