Title: Need the no shoplifting hack Post by: SickPuppy on 2008 October 03, 05:16:17 I haven't played Sims 2 for a very long time, and don't have all my files anymore. I used to have a hack to stop Sims from shoplifting in OFB and I'm pretty sure it was JMP hack. I tried to google it and also looked thru the 'moreawesomethanyou-pets' download, but couldn't find it. It was called something like: Dontstealmystore...
any help finding it would be appreciated :) Title: Re: Need the no shoplifting hack Post by: J. M. Pescado on 2008 October 03, 05:20:31 There isn't actually any "Shoplifting" in OFB, although certain conditions may combine to cause a sim to suddenly and spontaneously depart the lot, such as zapping them with an Ingelogical shrub or magical banishment: However, the sim actually still remembers the purchases and will pay for them the next time he leaves the lot properly.

There were vestigial references to a "Security" badge. I can see why this was cut: Either you'd get an entire neighborhood where EVERYONE is a thief, which seems quite ridiculous, or you'd have designated shoplifter NPCs, and Obvious Cat would be Obvious.

They could have had it depend upon a sim's aspiration level... unhappy sims more likely to shoplift. Title: Re: Need the no shoplifting hack Post by: J. M. Pescado on 2008 October 05, 17:08:25 There are simply way too many variables, and I guarantee any such implementation would be unsatisfactory. This is pretty much why that feature appears to have been dumped hella-early, with the only reference that such a thing may ever have existed being a single reference to a "Security" badge.

That would be great anyway. After all, the same person is spied upon every time people look at their neighbours with a telescope. Why not the same shoplifting NPC, with random reassignment when they get caught? Everybody would shoplift eventually.

Oh, wait, sims don't think at all. ;D |
