Chris Hatch's Community Time Mod fix

This post is about Chris Hatch's version of the popular Community Time Project mod for Sims 2, which prevents an immediate return of a Sim to their home lot after a travel. It's a great idea and I use this mod ever since I started using mods in my game.

However, it has a known but so far unfixed issue. If the player ever closes the text box that shows the remaining time until the Sim's return, or if the player closes their game while a Sim is off-world and later reloads the lot, then the mod will throw an "Undefined Transition" error.

CTP also fails to calculate the time correctly if a Sim is away for longer than 72 hours, and instead flows over to zero.

I have prepared a little fix for these two issues which I deemed not large enough to upload to MTS, but it's a critical fix for CTP users nonetheless.

Note that, unless CTP is re-written from scratch, travel times longer than seven days (168 hours) will still slow over to zero, because the Token - Community Time does not keep track of larger time units than the current Day of Week at departure.

While I was at it, I also solved the conflict between CTP and @lazyduchess' Playable Nannies mod.

Make sure the fix loads after CJH_CommTime(StandAlone), and also after ld_scheduler_car_semiglobals if you have it.

DOWNLOAD

EDIT (2023-11-23): I was made aware that, if you did not have Playable Nannies, or No Driving Without A Licence by @picknmixsims, errors would occur. I have thus added an extra resource that by itself does nothing but extend a constant table so those errors won't happen anymore. The file is updated, please re-download if you don't have one of these mods.

Sims 2 Ultrawide CAS Fix (3440x1440) in Clean UI, Starship UI and FlawlessPink UI

My fellow ultra widescreen users, it has been 84 years but we do not have to suffer anymore 🤠

This mod comes in Clean UI, Starship UI and FlawlessPink UI and also includes a camera mod.

Up until now, on ultrawide monitors, the CAS UI is in the way of seeing your sims even with a regular widescreen fix. I have moved those UI elements further to the right side of the screen so they are "out of the way" and have also adjusted the camera, so you can actually see their feet and hair. This mod was made with 3440x1440 resolution in mind, but I think it should be a significant improvement on any monitor with an ultrawide aspect ratio.

Two minor problems:

The camera mod is a little bit wonky, it will zoom in too far whenever the camera changes (e.g. changing from clothing to face). When that happens, simply zoom out a bit and it will "fix itself".

I was not able to extend the hitbox that lets you turn a sim. So, if you want to turn a sim around, you have to do it at their legs, the upper body won't work.

Installation:

CASCamera.txt goes into Documents\EA Games\Sims 2 Ultimate Collection\Cameras.

Of the three package-files included, choose the one you want and put it in your downloads folder.

Delete the original CAS file that came with your UI mod (the one named "cas-min-width-1920-additional-596px" or somethig along those lines), as my mod replaces that one.

This mod requires that you have the corresponding UI mod installed, so go download Clean UI, Starship UI or FlawlessPink UI.

Object Freedom 1.0

>Object Freedom 1.01 is now here!<

Tired of using cheats to get objects/Sims/Pets to be placed where you want them to be? Tired of doors and windows freaking out when an object is placed in front of them? This mod alleviates a good portion of those issues. More info after the cut. 

>Object Freedom 1.01 is now here!<

Scope of this Mod

This mod modifies how objects are picked up and placed. Additionally, this mod also allows all objects to stay on residential lots when a Sim moves out, similarly to the Moving/Appliance mod, but now supports all objects. If Object Freedom is added, you’ll want to put the objects you want your Sims to take with them in their inventories upon moving out. 

Objects, Sims, and Pets can also be shifted up and down like in @lamare-sims Shiftable Everything Mod; Windows/Doors are excluded from this still due to the wallmasks not cooperating. 

You can place decorative objects in front of the door and sims will walk through them. Otherwise, Sims/Pets will consider other objects in front of the door as a blocked portal. If you give about a half tile of space, Sims seem to be able to get through the door okay. If you have a two tile door you can block one door panel and Sims will be able to walk through the other door. A similar principle may be allowed for 3 tile doors, I just haven’t tried it yet. 

Objects can also be placed in the street. Driveways can be placed elsewhere, like an upper level. A driveway is still required for placing cars. 

You can still use SilentLucidity’s Walk Around/Walk Through Blocks. The overall intention of this mod is to reduce the amount of times moveobjects/walk through blocks are needed.  

Cool Things You Can Do

If your rooms have more than one door, but you’re low on space, you can place an object in front of the door, like a bed, desk, table, etc. and not need to worry about the wallmasks disappearing. 

Does this mod shift objects up and down? Yes!

Doors/Arches can be placed next to each other at the corner of walls!

Sims hanging out? You can easily grab the Sims conversing (without MoveObjects) and place them on a desk/table/counter/etc. and they’ll stay in place chatting. You may need to move them manually if they are done with the interaction.

Table Dancing? You bet!  

Nesting tables? Sure!

Can you store objects under stairs (all of them), in foundations or attics? Yes! 

Conflicts

This mod will conflict with @lamare-sims Shiftable Everything mod as this mod compounds more on the Init-Object BHAV that the Shiftable Everything mod changes (includes Placement Flags 2 Literal A; Adjustable Height) . If you want this mod, you’ll need to remove Lamare’s. 

You can still shift objects with Object Freedom.

This mod also modifies the “Inits” of several global/controllers. They are: Init-Person, Init-Accessory, Init-Cat, Init-Connected Column, Init-Dog, Init-Sculptures-Common, Init-Small Dog, Init-Ceiling/Floor/Table Plants, Init-Windows, and Init-Doors.

Numenor’s Custom Objects on OFB Shelves. Current solution: use @jellymeduza​’s OFB Shelves mod. 

Keep in Mind

This mod was built with EPs installed, and will at least require Apartment Life. 

If you do upload lots with this mod installed, and the downloader doesn’t have this mod their lots may not function as intended with this mod not installed on their system. So you’ll most likely want to let other players know you have this mod installed. 

Objects placed before this mod won’t have these affects. You would need to replace each item. 

If Sims have an object attached to them, I noticed this when Sims are using an accessory they won’t be able to be picked up unless you use moveObjects on.  

FYI Post - a compilation of reported glitches being investigated.

Credits

How to Fully Overhaul The Sims 2 Bodyshop (Mods List)

Here are all the mods you can use to make your BodyShop look like this:

or even something like this:

This is how the default BodyShop looks. Is small, dark, and kinda ugly:

Brightness

The Brightening up BodyShop mod by WesHowe on MTS will make BodyShop look like this:

There are 3 levels of brightness to choose from. I use the XB version.

Widescreen + Clean/Starship UI

Using BodyShop Clean UI & Widescreen by SmugTomato on MTS with the previous mod, will make BodyShop look like this:

Or if you prefer a darker interface, you can use the Starship UI Bodyshop by redandvidya on MTS:

Backgrounds

There are two kinds of backgrounds on BodyShop; a 3D scene and a 2D image. The 3D scene is the one you see in the pictures above, and the 2D is a flat image that appears when you press F5. There are default replacements for both of these, and you can have one of each type at the same type without problems.

2D Backgrounds

If you want to change the background that shows when you press F5, you can use one of these plain color backgrounds by @kat-simss. Here's how one of these looks:

Or you can use one of these matching Clean UI backgrounds by 다블리. Here's how one of these looks:

3D Backgrounds

If you want to change the background that shows when you open BodyShop without you having to press F5, you can use one of these replacements by @socialbunny. Here's how one of these looks:

Or you can use one of these by windkeeper on MTS, that seem flat but are actually a 3D scene (so you can have 'flat' backgrounds without having to press F5 each time you open Bodyshop). Here's how one of these looks:

I think that's all!

Non Autonomous EA Romantic Interactions

This mod disables the autonomy of all EA Romantic Interactions. And is meant to compliment ACR. While is sounds counter productive to ACR. The idea is as follows. Since ACR does not modify any vanilla interactions but add custom ones, any settings you set trough ACR does not apply to the original interactions. This has been sitting unreleased for over six months now, but I thought someone might need it. As I developed this for someone on reddit. Example: If Daniel Pleasant, who is having an affair with the maid. Is on the same lot with Mary Sue and Kaylin. And you set him as totally faithful, as it does not make sense for him to go and flirt with the maid in front of his wife. The faithful setting with only apply to the new custom from ACR(he wont perform any of them, and he should reject any directed from Kaylin to him). However the game can still push the vanilla interaction, so either him or Kaylin can still be romantic with each other. With this mod installed the game won't push any romantic EA interactions, only ACR will. I hope you can get the picture, and ow this mod compliments ACR. ACR is not a required, but without it you will get not autonomous romantic interactions.

365 Days = 1 Year Lifespan For TS2

this is basically my first mod upload, and it's a mod that i won't even be using lmao. i felt like making this on a whim cause i thought the idea sounded funny, but the game might not even be able to handle sims living this long. who knows. i would say to Use At Your Own Risk if your game starts struggling with this lifespan! here's the SFS link, in case you want to use this mod for some reason: download now onto the changes ------------------------------ Sim Lifespan: Baby = 365 Days (0-1 year old, 1 year long) Toddler = 1095 Days (2-4 years old, 3 years long) Child = 2920 Days (5-12 years old, 8 years long) Teenager = 2190 Days (13-17 years old, 5 years long) Adult = 15330 Days (18-59 years old, 42 years long) Elders by default can live a minimum of 5 years (1825 days), and a maximum of 29 years (10585 days). Plantsims use the same amount of days as their respective lifestages. Pets Lifespan: 🐕 Puppies = 365 Days (1 year long) Adult Large Dogs = 3650 Days (10 years long) Elder Large Dogs = 1460 Days (4 years long) Adult Small Dogs = 4380 Days (12 years long) Elder Small Dogs = 1460 Days (4 years long) 🐈 Kittens = 365 Days (1 year long) Adult Cats = 5110 Days (14 years long) Elder Cats = 1460 Days (4 years long)

Sims and pets will age every day at 12:00 am instead of 6:00 pm.

Seasons generally last around 90 days each, fitting all 4 seasons into one year.

Pregnancy for Sims last about 273 days, which is 9 months. (note: i didn't test this in-game but i'm pretty sure it should work, lol)

Pet pregnancy lasts for 60 days.

------------------------------ if you wanted to use this unironically, i would heavily suggest using mods to up the difficulty of the game in general, so that your sims don't top out their careers and get married and have children by the age of 20. while making this mod, i forgot to make a university span. oops. have fun! (if you don't die of old age irl before your sims do)

Jacky93Sims' 4t2 Functional VR Headset - Bugfixes and New Features

So I have been playing with the 4t2 Functional VR Headset by @jacky93sims for a while now. While it is an amazing thing to have it at all, I immediately noticed some weird things going on in my game whenever I tried to use it. Initially I just wanted to get rid of these weird things, but this sparked a big makeover of the entire mod's functions, as I felt this object could do so much more with a bit of BHAV magic.

Most importantly, Sims can now use the VR headset autonomously, gain Science enthusiasm (because waaaay too few objects benefit that hobby) and Fitness through it, you are no longer prompted to take a screenshot whenever a Sim puts the headset on or off, and the headset will no longer kill Sims if you leave them unattended.

Note that the download link only includes the main object containing all the code! Please go to the original download page to grab the headset accessory and the child, teen and adult meshes, too.

DOWNLOAD

The complete changelog is under the cut, if you are interested in the other ways I have changed this object up.

NEW FEATURE: All interactions are now autonomous! All Sims can play or work out if they seek Fun, but Playful Sims are more likely to play with it, and Active Sims are more likely to work out on it.

NEW FEATURE: Sims now gain Science hobby enthusiasm when playing or working out, at a default of 120% the normal speed. (Requires FreeTime, but you can use this updated version without FT, too.)

NEW FEATURE: Sims now gain Fitness when working out. By default the rate is about 50% faster than working out on stereos, to justify the hefty price tag.

CHANGE: Slightly more Fun gain while playing (40/hour -> 50/hour). In turn, higher Energy (-5/hour -> -20/hour) and Comfort loss (none -> -20/hour).

CHANGE: Slightly more Energy (-10/hour -> -20/hour), Comfort (-10/hour -> -25/hour) and Hygiene (none -> -25/hour) loss. Removed the weird fixed -2 Comfort loss when putting the headset on. Active Sims now only gain 50% more Body skill when working out with the VR headset; other Sims still retain the base 150% skill rate gain. I feel like VR would close the skill gap a bit, so...

CHANGE: Made all the gain and loss tunable for those that know their way around SimPE and can change BCON resource 0x1000 (for playing) and 0x1002 (for working out).

CHANGE: Looped the "jumping jack" and "jog" workout animations three times, and slowed them down. Looped the "knee-bend", "stretch side" and "stretch toes" animations twice. It all looked quite janky being at normal speed.

CHANGE: Added a dialogue when a Body Skill point is gained.

CHANGE: Clarified that the object requires University through the catalogue, because it uses a SimVac animation. I also adjusted the catalogue values for Fun (N/A -> 10) and Environment (6 -> 8).

CHANGE: Added a German translation.

CHANGE: Removed some unnecessary resources.

CRITICAL BUGFIX: Sims will now stop using the headset if their fun is maxed or their motives are failing (same thresholds as with any other "Fun" object), so they don't play or work out until they drop dead. This is a similar issue to an unmodded Exercise Bike from FT.

BUGFIX: You are no longer prompted to take a picture when a Sim puts on or takes off the headset. Maybe @jacky93sims did this to create a bit of immersion, but I did not like it.

BUGFIX: Motive changes are now cleared after taking the headset off. Previously, Sims would keep gaining Fun and losing Energy and/or Comfort even after stopping to use the headset.

BUGFIX: If a Sim doesn't have enough room to play or work out after already having strapped the headset on, the "in use" flag and overlays will now properly reset.

More Dangerous Fires / Fire Mods Edit

While playing last night I got an error I had never encountered before when a Sim who had learned the fire safety skill started trying to put out a fire autonomously. I have the Fire Mod by simblr90 (but the same goes for MidgeTheTree's Fire Safety Mod, if you have that) and More Dangerous Fires by simmodder.

It turns out if you have either fix from simler90 or Midge that makes the fire safety skill work as intended (eg, Sims won't panic and will instead try and put the fire out) and you have the More Dangerous Fire mod, the game will throw an error when a Sim tries to put the fire out and/or keep resetting them because the mod is not compatible with Apartment Life and therefore not with the life skills either, so your Sim won't be able to extinguish the fire at all.

I followed a very simple text post from Midge to edit the MDF mod to make the error go away and the sim to actually be able to put the fire out - instructions to change the strength of the Sim putting the fire out are in the read me if needed.

Sims 2 Mod Creators: Is there any particular reason you don't upload to Nexus Mods?

Nexus Mods is one of the largest gaming modification websites and it has a cool feature that allows creators to earn redeemable reward points when their mods are downloaded at no cost to the users doing the downloading.

It is the main site for Skyrim mods, which is one of, if not the most, modded games. Because I love Skyrim, I browse the mods on Nexus a lot and I really like it. It currently has just 58 downloads available for Sims 2 which I think is a real shame, I really wish more creators used it. I am planning on making that the alternate source for my mods besides my WIP website, but I will still announce my mods on here.

Update addressing some concerns:

Nexus mods is far far less restrictive than Mod The Sims. Mods go live immediately and are not put into an approval queue. They would only get taken down in very rare circumstances if they were deemed inappropriate. You also get more options and flexibility in regards to style and formatting.

Update 2:

I'm not suggesting that I would MOVE there or that anyone else should. I'm considering it as an alternate source for my mods, especially since its somewhere reliable where the downloadable file will always be found alongside the description rather than separate. But, I'd still post here all the same, my download links would just be different.

Please comment with your thoughts!

Revised Majors: All the university majors have been revised so that they are actually relevant to careers.

Later Classes: Moves all morning university classes later in the day so no class starts before noon. It complements the Semester Changes mod, as it fixes the problem where you will miss the first day of your morning class.
