How did they travel? I think I tried it with groups and had it work, but maxis may have changed soimething. I'll have a go again at some point.

It can be used with pets as there was no code changes between pets and seasons.

Saying that, this may not be the case in the future when more functionallity is added.

No, it's only things that cause a lot transition. "Goto Work", "Take a spin", "Sneak out", etc, will still be available.

Seasons version up

The hotfix is not my responsibility. Not having it in will not break anything.

Test version is here->http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,7462.0.html

WARNING:    This is preliminary code for testing only.
                               Do NOT install if you are unsure.
                               This code is for PETS/Seasons/FT.
                                Use with any other code may result in BFBVFS and LOTS of pointing and laughing.

Description
This code will enable the passing of time on community lots to be spent on the home lot.

Aims
It is called a project, because it will ultimately have numerous hacks which combined will enhance the community experience.
The aim of the project is to create an environment where the time spent on community lots is incorporated into the home lot.  This will make the community experience harder and more realistic.

How it works
One or more sims go to a community lot.
Sims wander around the lot doing stuff.
Sims leave the lot to go home at date/time XXX
Home lot is loaded.
Home lot progresses normally but the sims are shown as away at a community lot. (In much the same way as 'At Work')
Date/time xxx is reached and sims return to the lot.

Notes:
1. Sims will not age on community lots but they will age when they return to the home lot. (even though they will be off-world).
2. If they stay on the community lot when they should be at work/school, they will miss the carpool/bus on the home lot and be penalised.
3. Community lots can not be saved unless they are owned business lots for that sim family.
4. Motives are set to what they left the community lot with, but are made static while off-world.
5. Only drivable cars are affected in v0.4a. (Requires NL).
    Taxis are affected in v0.5 up.
6. Sims that remain on the home lot will not be able to visit community lots, by any means, until the car returns to the lot. (This will not be the case in the future)
7. Is prevented from working on UNI lots because the time will pass TWICE. (I am looking into this)

Rules for testing
1. Make backups of the game BEFORE installing the hack.  Tokens are added to sims with this hack that will be saved in backups.
2. Ensure 'BOOLPROP TestingCheatsEnabled true' is in the userstartup.cheat file.  The code runs close to lot transitions and log files are needed.
3. Error reports will require detailed information and relevant error logs.

Basic error information
Nature of problem (Error log/Inconsistency/..)
time leaving home lot.
number of sims from home lot.
number of other lots visited.
times that each lot arrive/depart and who drives.
Nature of each lot visited. (i.e. downtown maxis)
Any other information of an unusual nature.

Involvement
Anybody can supply/create code for the project.  Links to any relevant code can be placed into the documentation or the code can be uploaded here.

Disclaimer
If your game ends up in a BFBVFS, it's not my problem.

Version history

The Romance mod needs updating

That would be students going to Uni lots only

I was working on a test version of this when OFB came out, but I had no interest in pets.
I may revive it for seasons.

Here is a part of the rtfm:

How it works
------------
One or more sims go to a community lot.
Sims wander around the lot doing stuff.
Sims leave the lot to go home at date/time XXX
Home lot is loaded.
Home lot progresses normally but the sims are shown as away at a community lot. (In much the same way as 'At Work')

3. Community lots can not be saved unless they are owned business lots for that sim family.
4. Motives are set to what they left the community lot with, but are made static while off-world.
5. Only drivable cars are affected by this hack at the moment. (Requires NL).
6. Sims that remain on the home lot will not be able to visit community lots, by any means, until the car returns to the lot. (This will not be the case in the future)
7. Is prevented from working on UNI lots because the time will pass TWICE. (I am looking into this)

NoCommLotFoodServe should have been in the OK list (Well it is now).

The CraftableRestockFix was fixed in OFBp2. Whether they have broken it again, remains to be seen.

I was thinking about just grabbing the OFBp2 code, but it would need checking to see if they have added any pets related stuff that would need putting in too.

This is maxis using old (pre OFBp2) code for ZOMFGPets!!!!!!

The old version works fine for pets.

This problem was fixed in one of the patches. So if you have a bar that was made before the patch, it will need updating.

All on a 3x1 lot. OFB required.

Bribe: I will update all the hacks in moreawesomethanyou.zip when the next expansion pack comes out, as long as it's not pets. I refuse to have pets. As if maxis can make that interesting, rather than annoying,  mumble mumble

PS: Blue, I am a moderator and a senator, so I expect a good score from you.

It just lets the bowling continue after the fun bar has been filled. I will look into more selective joining for outings and friends though.

I did see something about the end of game in the code, but I didn't pay it much attention.

That's basically all I have done too.  This has been sitting around for a while, but I though I would wait until the new patch was out before putting it up.

Try this ->http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php?topic=4645

Stops sims wanting to constantly eat in OFB restaurants



for OFBp1 and OFBp2

Install into downloads

Allows sims to actually bowl in a bowling ally, rather than just throwing once then wandering off.



for OFBp1 and OFBp2

Install into downloads

Yes. I noticed that too.

I have left the fix in myself because the maxis patch seems to be only a partial fix.  More investigation is required into the rest of the code and the other fixes may be obsolete. But I see no harm in leaving it in for now.

Yes, but I'm paid up until 2012.

Oh well, I'll bet July 15 9:30am

If you can't find a BHAV called "Read - Loop Reading" in the package, then you are not going to have the problem.  Most bookcases will just be a replacement mesh, so the semi-globals will not have been included and there will not be a problem.
