No autonomous computer games

[Marvin Kosh]

I checked out the hack that is mentioned here but I'm reasonably certain it's not meant to stop Sims from autonomously playing SSX on the console (the one that sits in front of the TV) and if it was, it doesn't work in Seasons.

The reason I ask is that while I was testing the new EP out, I noticed that every time a visitor's Fun dropped just a tiny bit he would wander over, pick up a game controller, play for about five seconds, and then stop.  And then repeat.  So, I'm thinking that either there should be a motive check before playing and/or that visitors should only play when invited to, or when there's a party going on.

No, it doesn't; that's also why my sims never have a TV or game console in their homes  . A quick way to fix that annoyance, if you want, is to set the "play" to 0x0064 (non autonomous) in pie menu resource.

Or bump the min/deltas down to a reasonable value.

Well, I, for one, can't think of any occasion where you'd actually want a sim playing that stupid game. I mean, it's almost as stupid as you look.

Well when I'm done testing things out, maybe I'll go look for a different game that I can drop in.

Then again, they're just Sims, they're not really going to know the difference if I trade their snowboarding game for GTA.

Incidentally, the head-to-head gaming seems to be over rather quickly much like the vanilla fighting.  Sims should at least try for best two out of three before conceding defeat, unless of course they're not very playful.
