Hogwarts Legacy update!

We've confirmed the plot: there's an uprising among the race of hook-nosed bankers who control the economy. (Note that the more evil they are, the bigger their noses are. There's a good one who has a big nose but he used to be evil when he was younger.) They're "rebelling" because they want their stolen cultural artefacts to be returned to them and want to not be oppressed anymore, which for some reason means they also want to massacre their oppressors' entire race, because of course marginalised people asking for liberation actually secretly want to kill you. As part of this sinister cabal's nefarious plot for white—I mean, wizard—extinction, they want to kidnap a child, because that's what hook-nosed bankers like to do, right? And their leader is willing to do anything for material gain, up to and including teaming up with fascists who hate his race.

You guys know that conspiracy theorists think Jews funded the Holocaust, right? They claim we did it so we could milk it for reparation money afterwards. And did you know they think we kidnap children? Or that we actually want supremacy rather than equality, and plan to subjugate the rest of the world for our own gain? Presumably you've at least heard the claim that we control the banks. And you know this is all very popular with the alt right, don't you? Have you also heard that this game's original head developer was an alt right YouTuber?

Don't act like this is a fucking coincidence.

No, JKR wasn't involved in the game, and it's actively intended to be trans-positive. Yes, she gets money from it, and will likely donate some of that to anti-trans causes. But even if you pirate the game so she doesn't make any money off of it, you're still going to be be playing the fucking Protocols of the Elders of Gringotts.

Fucking TALK ABOUT THIS.

Not Another College Mod: One Semester per Year University

I made a mod that limits university years to one semester. After completing the first semester of each year, Sims will just jump to the next year. Sims that are currently in the second semester when the mod is installed will finish that semester and then proceed to the first (and only) semester of the following year.

Pros:

Course requirements get harder each year, as maxis intended.

Sims can complete each year of University

College lasts 12 days, Sims may stay an additional 3 days after graduation - that's pretty much two Simweeks, which I decided is compatible with my rotational gameplay (one week in non-college households = two semesters in college households). This imho works well with Maxis ages, so the other Sims don't grow too old while young adults are in College.

Compatible with Faster University Education mod

Cons:

The second semester of each year is still visible, so don't get confused

Not compatible with Harder Grades - Term Paper Required, Three Year University Courses and Semester Changes (but can be made compatible with the former two, see below) or any mod that changes the BHAV (0x200C 'Function - Next Semester') in the Major semi-globals (group 0x7F17E3A4)

Made with all EPs and SPs installed.

Download

If you notice any errors or problems, please let me know.

The change I made was very simple, you can edit any college mod of your choice to merge it with the one semester college mod.

Open the college mod of your choice (Function - Next Semester) with SimPE, find the line [prim 0x0002] Expression (My person data 0x00AD (kEP1 - Semester Info Flags) Flag Set? flag# Const 0x2003:0x04 ("Good Completed?" Value: 0x0005)) copy the value in true target and paste it to false target.

Save and you're done :) That's all.

Inventory Inheritance

With this mod, when a Sim dies, content of their inventory is transferred into inventory of another Sim who:

is alive,

does not belong to a family of special NPCs,

scored the highest number of points based on their kinship and relationship. In case of many same-scored Sims, one of those who had the highest lifetime relationship with the deceased is randomly chosen.

Additionally, depending on a config version, a Sim has to meet one of additional conditions in order to be considered as a potential heir:

mild: is related to the deceased, has ever met them but isn’t their enemy, or lives in the same household,

strict (with friends): is related to the deceased, is their best friend, or lives in the same household,

strict (family only): is related to the deceased.

As for the scoring, in brief: in strict versions, the kinship-based succession order is strictly followed. In the mild version, the succession order is significantly influenced by non-familial relationships and Sims from unplayable families are chosen as a last resort.

Items that cannot be given as a gift (e.g. HB’s traits), except of urns and gravestones, won’t be transferred. They’re called special items in the inventory inheritance dialog.

Both core and config files are necessary to make the mod work. Use only one config file at a time. You need to have at least one expansion pack or stuff pack installed to be able to use this mod.

Available translations: Brazilian Portuguese, French, Polish, Russian, and Spanish.

Scoring details

Kinship scoring (multiplied by 100 in strict versions):

+1 – cousin,

+2 – uncle/aunt,

+3 – grandparent,

+4 – nephew/niece,

+5 – sibling,

+6 – parent,

+7 – grandchild,

+8 – child,

+9 – spouse.

Relationship scoring:

-20 – enemy,

+1 – friend (only if not a best friend),

+1 – crush (only if not in love),

+1 – boyfriend/girlfriend,

+2 – best friend,

+2 – love,

+3 – engaged.

Other scoring:

-50 – is in an unplayable family (eg. townies).

Conflicts

Despite a conflict, this mod may work with Better Ghosts - AddOn - SpouseFix by simler90 but must load after it.

Flyable TS4 rocket for TS2

Flyable TS4 rocket for TS2. It’s cloned from Kate’s Hot Air Balloon and uses converted mesh by Early Pleasantview. Now your adult and teen Sims can fly into the space. They will change into astronaut clothes before getting in. There are two versions: Meduza_flying_rocket_bring_stuff and Meduza_flying_rocket_no_bring_stuff. Choose only one! If you choose Meduza_flying_rocket_bring_stuff, Sims with 3 or 4 logic points have 25% chance of bringing with them some aliens, Sims with 5 or more logic points have 50% chance. They can bring live or dead aliens converted by misty-fluff, which are included in required_for_bringing_stuff folder. If you choose Meduza_flying_rocket_no_bring_stuff, you don’t need misty-fluff’s files, because Sims won’t bring anything back.

Your Sims can also tinker their rocket. Based on coin flip, they will do it inside or outside the rocket. They will gain mechanical skill and tinkering enthusiasm from doing it.

Rocket can be found in hobbies/recreation. It costs $8000.

Important information: Meduza_tu_astronaut_MESH, Meduza_tu_astronaut_white and Meduza_uu_astronaut_GUID files are required. I converted astronaut clothes for teens. It’s unisex and binned as everyday. Nightlife is required and Free Time is needed for gaining enthusiasm. I would like to ask you not to include this rocket in shared lots - it needs some other files which won’t be included in Sims2Pack file. It could cause harm to somebody’s game.

Flying is looped, so you have to cancel action during flight if you want your Sim to get out. Flight takes about an hour.

Tiny edit: Now Sims will gain science enthusiasm from flying the rocket. Thank you, @sims-influence, for an idea. Also sorry everyone who downloaded earlier. Please don’t be mad at me. :(

@deedee-sims for suggesting taking a look at NixedSims’ anvil

@nixedsims for the anvil - it gave me ideas how to deal with tools and how to make Sims bring aliens from space trip

@fracturedmoonlight for automatic sliding barn doors. Thanks to it, I managed to make open and close states.

Update 9th of September 2019: turned off flight autonomy, now flight doesn’t loop.

Update 13th of January 2020: Fixed mistake where I put an object into Sim’s right hand and tried to delete it from left hand. This mistake is not noticeable, because when action ends, the object is deleted anyway, but I got rid of it in the name of tidiness.

Update 24th of March 2020: dialogs will display correct Sim

Update 1st of August 2020: removed extra OBJDs, now there is only 1 OBJD resource. I also updated footprint to be 5x5. Unfortunately, as a result before putting this updated version in your downloads you have to delete any rockets you have on your lots and rebuy them later. Another thing I edited is changing clothes - after flight Sims will change back in the clothes they wore before their space journey.

Update 29th of June 2021: added WooHoo and Try For Baby actions and the chance of alien pregnancy (which can be turned off). You can read more about this update here.

Update 17th of February 2022: added animations - rocket will jump during WooHoo

Update 15th of September 2022: reworked the way souvenirs from the trip are chosen, because it was old and poorly done. Now there are equal chances of getting any object. Additionally, chances of bringing something are more dependable on logic skill level - every skill level has different percentage threshold. Moreover, Sims with gatherer trait from Hexagonal-Bipyramid’s Trait Project have higher chance of bringing a souvenir from their trip.

Fix for broken "Break Up" Want

my first ever mod, a fix for broken maxis coding, this case being the "Break Up" want. This want is now appears in the wants panel for adults and elders sims of all aspirations, instead of not being rolled at all.

Download here conflicts with any custom WantTrees package, future revision with other wants fixes coming soon

Notes: The want does not appear originally because no ages (adult, elders , teens, children etc.) are checked on the panels, and only two of the three packages have any aspirations checked (romance and family) with the third having not having ANYTHING checked, so yeah. Additional special thanks to @simnopke for finding the wants that relate to it and setting up the foundation of this mod.

Lifetime Want Chooser

Hi all!

To start off this simblr, here's something I've just finished.

This is an object for the Sims 2 that lets you manually choose a lifetime want for your sim, instead of cycling one by one!

I made it while working on 50 new lifetime wants and realizing what a huge pain it is to go through them in testing. If only we could just choose an LTW, I thought. Well, :)

Get it at modthesims

[simthelightfantastic]

I've gone ahead and counted how many hidden sims Linda hid in her 2021 April Fool's 'joke'.

246.

246 hidden sims.

This number might be inaccurate (I may have missed a few) but it's the absolute MINIMUM number of sims that is in there.

For some context? That number is larger than any premade hood's actual Default household (which is where these sims will appear). And Linda was kind enough to give them new GUIDs so they won't conflict with each other, only COMPLETELY FILL UP your hoods!

These are all of the infected files that I was able to find--if you find any others, please let me know ASAP, so that we can make sure that nobody accidentally downloads them!!
