Hack Reference
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- bath-shower-for-visitors: Enables baths and showers for visitors.

- bed-flamingo-dress: Makes sims who have a flamingo in their inventory prefer to be naked in bed most of the time.

- bed-no-privacy: Eliminates the arbitrary restrictions on bed sleep usage.

- beds-for-visitors: Allows visitors to sleep in beds.

- bed-teen-romance-bv: Permits romantic socials on beds for teens and between teens and older age sims. Does *not* enable teen pregnancy.

- book-goal-fix: Prevents sims from trying to use a book that is already in use.

- bubble-bath-hack: Makes sims take a regular bath if they don't need comfort (if their comfort is half full or more).

- casual-npc2b: Makes NPCs (except streakers) wear Casual category clothing rather than whatever that NPC's designated uniform is.

- change-appearance-anyone: Modifies the mirror to allow you to change the appearance of visitors, NPCs or other non-playable sims on the lot. Note that you will first need to buy outfits for that sim's categories, age, and gender type to replan their clothing.

- cleanup-homework1b: Requires Uni EP. Makes the lunch server dispose of unguarded assignments.

- college-study2: Requires Uni EP. Makes sims use available books for research, rather than just bookcases. This version has one small cosmetic fix.

- cool-charisma-flamingo: Gives charismatic sims a relationship/mood score bonus in most of their social interactions (proportional to the amount of charisma they have), but only between sims who both have flamingos in their personal inventory.

- desperation-fix: Makes sims stand up before they do desperation animations.

- diary-test: Checks whether the sim is sufficiently alone before allowing the diary interaction.

- dirty-joke-hack2c: Changes a dirty joke impulse into a romantic impulse if the target seems like a good recipient of a romantic interaction. This also factors in Gender Preference, making a romantic impulse less likely as Gender Preference score increases.

- dirty-joke-teens: Enables the dirty joke interaction between teens and older age groups.

- dont-look-at-me: Eliminates most of the sim turning and looking at the camera for no logical reason. This is similar to Pescado's dontwaveatme hack. Also eliminates most of the route failure anims not already disabled by Pescado's noroutefail hack.

- elevator-dorm-pets-fix: Requires Uni and OfB EPs. Fixes the elevator so that it doesn't corrupt the attribute data needed to track dormies.

- exit-skill-hack: Sims that autonomously use skill objects (like chess or piano) will exit out of that skill sooner depending on how active they are. Note that this does not apply to dorms.

- flamingo-attraction2: Enables most Maxis romantic socials for sims who both have flamingos in their personal inventories. Note that they still need sufficient relationship scores (or bonuses from cool-charisma) to do socials. Also note that normal attraction can make this use of the flamingo moot. Also mitigates attraction with Gender Preference value (see below for more info).

- flamingo-teleport5b: Makes the Maxis flamingo into a programmable random sim teleporter. This version allows sims to visit and stay over at any time, and can give or take a flamingo from any sim's personal inventory. Can now also set gender preferences and preferred NPCs. See below notes for more info.

- flush-fish-fix: Makes sims use the closest toilet for flushing dead fish. Also fixes the Maxis bug of leaving the toilet in use if the flush fish fails.

- food-busy-fix: Prevents sims from stealing plates of food out of the hands of another sim (that they discovered in the fridge because the other sim had just opened the fridge).

- global-social-teen-permissive: Allows teens to engage in standing romantic socials with older age groups as well as other teens.

- greek-madness-anyone: Requires Uni EP. Selects any sim among those who are inside to randomly bring in pizza/stuff rather than just house members.

- hare-trigger: Makes the Social Bunny appear sooner, and also for children.

- have-a-leftover1c-serve: Makes sims get a leftover rather than fix a meal, if the "Have a..." is autonomously triggered. If there are no leftovers, this changes "Have a..." to "Serve..."

- hula-fix: Limits Hula dancing to rooms with stereos.

- less-college-study: Requires Uni EP. Makes sims research autonomously only between midnight and noon.

- less-homework-uni2: Requires Uni EP. Makes sims do assignments autonomously only between midnight and noon. Now restricts sims to only one assignment at a time.

- less-lightning-fire: Requires Seasons EP. Reduces the odds that lightning will start a fire.

- lunch-server-breaks: Requires Uni EP. Makes the lunch server take a break from 8am to 10am and from 6pm to 8pm.

- makeout-hack2e: Causes sims to use a bed if one is available for making out. This also causes sims who are capable of romance to automatically try a romance action if they are merely relaxing on a bed. Does *not* automatically "Try For Baby". If a bed is not available, this will then look for an available sofa.

- meal-factory-fix: Prevents a sim that has queued up a "Grab a Plate" interaction from causing an "object reference" error if the platter is cleaned/put away before they can reach it.

- n-check-global2: Mysteriously naked sims do not automatically redress, though they will still react the first time they notice. (Only applies to teens and older.)

- no-auto-accept-delivery: Delivered food will not autonomously be accepted.

- no-catch-at-night: Only permits the "Play Catch" interaction between 10am and 6pm.

- no-censor-bv1: Disables the censor in most of the AI (using modded BHAVs).

- no-clothes-anims: Disables the main clothes changing animation.

- no-greek-score-spam: Requires Uni EP. Turns off Greek house score change notifications.

- no-jealousy2: Disables jealousy for sims who have a flamingo in their inventory (note: conflicts with twojeffs' ACR).

- no-leftovers-in-dorms-bv2b: Disables all storing of leftovers in dorm fridges. Does *not* conflict with my leftover hacks. Also disables autonomous storing of leftovers during a meal. Note: This hack does not require Uni, although you must have Uni to play in dorms.

- no-maid-make-bed: Removes making beds from the maid work duties.

- no-pickup-teens: Prevents random townies from trying to "pickup" teens at night.

- no-privacy-for-naked: Naked sims will no longer demand privacy.

- no-roach-stomp: Disables the mindless stomping of innocent vermin.

- no-shock-indoors2b: Only allows sims who are outside to react to a naked emitter. Gives a Love Potion effect to naked sims who are noticed by someone they are attracted to. Also disables shock for outgoing (8 or higher) sims.

- npc-auto-kick: Automatically kicks your service NPCs when done rather than ask whether you want them to stay due to high relationship score. This prevents service NPCs from clogging your roadway with their vehicles and eliminates the awkward situation of having NPCs stuck behind a gender-specific door.

- perma-gold: Makes the lifetime want bestow permanent gold rather than platinum aspiration.

- phonehack-talkmodule-dizzy: This is my variation of Pescado's hack. This does not look at STR, rather it decides whether the sim should hang up randomly. The odds of hanging up for an average sim is about 5% per sub-conversation, and this value varies depending on the sim's outgoing and playfulness.

- pizza-hack: Makes sims carry a pizza in before opening the lid. Plus, they do not automatically begin to eat a piece.

- process-walkbys: Makes one walkby appear between 7am and 10pm on every hour. At dorms or greek houses, walkbys appear at all hours. Dorms get one walkby per hour, and greek houses get two walkbys per hour.

- puddle-splash-hack: Requires Seasons EP. Disables autonomous puddle splashing.

- put-down-book-bv: Makes slobby sims put books down in the same room they are already in.

- quiet-alarm: Disables the sound of burglar and smoke alarms.

- random-goto-class: Requires Uni EP. Makes the "Go To Class" impulse somewhat random. [P + O <= 2 * (R - G), where P = playful, O = outgoing, R = random(0..2000), G = grade]

- server-shoos-you: This causes a sim that is sitting down to shoo themselves if there is someone holding food in the way of the chair. Note that this does not affect a sim that is already sitting down and is trying to stand up.

- shoo-fix: Allows sims to be shooed out of rooms that have no doors (i.e. rooms bounded by rug dividers rather than actual walls).

- shrub-teleport1h: Turns any ordinary bush or shrub into a teleporter. Brings anyone in the neighborhood to your lot that you select (though you should probably refrain from trying to teleport Social Bunnies or Ninjas). Includes sorting (by surname) and Delete function. The memory deleter allows you to delete any memory of any sim on the lot except memories that relate to sims that are not on the lot. Now includes info menu that tells you more about any sim currently in play.

- slap-dance-fix: Limits Slap dancing to rooms with stereos.

- sleep-tweak-hack: Beds fulfill energy to full except between noon and midnight (when they are only fulfilled to halfway up the meter). Beds also do *not* keep sims hibernating between 12am and 6am.

- slutty-cow: Requires Uni EP. Makes the "evil" cow mascot behave very romantically toward sims that match their gender preference rather than in the normal obnoxious manner.

- smustle-fix: Forces sims to start a smustle in a room that has a stereo. Note: this does not fix the "join" smustle.

- sofa-hack1h: Allows sims who are romantically inclined and attracted to each other to cuddle on sofas autonomously. Also makes sims automatically change as appropriate (or not) before and after cuddling. See below for more details.

- sofa-woohoo1b: Makes sims regard Making Out on the sofa as Woohoo if both sims are naked at the time (changing to naked not included in this hack). Handles emitters, motives, memories, and wants. Add spectators to elevate naked Making Out to Public Woohoo.

- sofa-teen-romance: Permits teens to do romantic socials with older age sims on sofas.

- store-food-no-burnt: Sims store half-eaten (unburnt) food as leftovers rather than dispose of it. Only works if sims weren't already cleaning/disposing other food at the same time.

- stuff-face-hack1b: Replaces useless "Stuff Face" with "Go Shopping". Sim will walk off the lot for a while to go shopping (1 minute per $10), then return with food (only $20 worth if budget transaction fails). Strictly non-autonomous and limited to residential/greek lots. Tip: If you have busy parents with children, send a child shopping.

- visitor-stays-till-late: Allows visitors to stay even if playables are asleep. Note that this conflicts with twojeffs' Visitor Controller.

- walk-away-fix: Makes sims put down objects properly while being shooed.

- weather-react-fix: Makes sims look out whatever window is closest, rather than one arbitrary window in the room.

- work-deliver3-40-20: If the fridge isn't already full and if they can afford it, working sims return with a probability of bringing in food. The odds are 40% of groceries, and 20% of a pizza (unless there is already groceries/a pizza on the lot).

Flamingo-related hacks
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All my "casual" style romance hacks revolve around hacking the flamingo. The basic idea is that sims with flamingos in their inventory will have a casual attitude toward romance. Install any combination of them that meet with your approval.

I strongly recommend you also install Pescado's "romancemod" and TwoJeffs' "Teen - Adult & Skunk Attraction Fixes" (not included). Those hacks enable features and apply bonuses and penalties to interactions where appropriate.

To get started, you will need to buy a lawn flamingo (in the Decorative/Statue catalog). Once placed, you can use the flamingo to add or remove flamingos from a sim's personal inventory (flamingo-teleport).

You can also adjust a sim's individual gender preferences or adjust the entire neighborhood.

- Attraction

To adjust the level of attraction sims have (flamingo-attraction), you can use flamingos to indicate that sims should have a minimum initial level of attraction sufficient to permit any romantic interactions. Note that this only works when both sims have a flamingo in their inventory.

Flamingo attraction also reduces the effect of attraction as the Gender Preference score increases for all sims (whether they have a flamingo in their inventory or not). Once a sim's Gender Preference score reaches about 180, their attraction-induced interactions become limited.

- Setting gender preferences for the neighborhood

The flamingo teleport hack can adjust and randomize the gender preferences of the entire neighborhood. The effects are cumulative, so changes apply to whatever changes you have made already.

For example, if you wish to make the neighborhood 50% gay and 50% straight, select "Neighborhood.../Make 100%.../Gay" then select "Neighborhood.../Make 50%.../Straight". The current percentages appear in parentheses in the menu items.

- Charisma

To adjust the degree of a sim's casual attitude toward romance, they will need to be equipped with that level of charisma (cool-charisma-flamingo). This permits greater romantic ability, and insures a greater likelihood of success as skill increases.

- Jealousy

To prevent casual sims from having a less than casual attitude about other sims and their affairs, you can also use the flamingo to indicate their indifference (no-jealousy).

- Autonomy

To make sims engage in somewhat random romantic behavior, I have chosen the dirty joke as the interaction to hack. Use dirty-joke hacks to link autonomy with romance.

- Beds

To use beds for making out (makeout-hack), sims can simply start a make out interaction. This can end up being a race to the nearest bedroom (one with a double bed). Once there, sims redress as appropriate and begin relaxing. Relaxing can lead to cuddling if the sims are romantically inclined, and cuddling can lead to other things.

Once sims get under the covers, their outfit can also disappear (bed-flamingo-dress) provided they have been equipped with a flamingo.

- Sofas

To use sofas for making out (sofa-hack), sims in a relationship (moderately acquainted to friendly at least) who are sufficiently attracted to each other can automatically begin to cuddle merely by sitting on a sofa together. Note that sims will not autonomously kiss or make out if you direct them to cuddle, but only if they begin cuddling autonomously.

Sims normally change to underwear for cuddling, but if one of the sims is mysteriously naked before they cuddle, the other one will also disrobe. If one or both of the sims has a flamingo in their inventory and they have a moderate to high social personality, there is a chance that they will disrobe before cuddling.

To make sims regard naked Make Out as the same as Woohoo (sofa-woohoo), they simply need to begin to cuddle and then make out. Note that both sims have to be naked, or it only counts as Make Out.
