Deco arches turned into real arches
I turned BuggyBooz’ moorish arch (working link here) and HafiseAzale’s TS3 neon arch into arches found in the build mode. They won’t replace original deco objects.
BB’s moorish arch is repositoried to nooks and niches (link to the master file [required!] here or at SFS). It’s an one-tile arch, but it takes more space than that. It costs $250.
HA’s arch isn’t repositoried to original deco. It’s a two-tile arch and it glows, because it’s a neon arch. It costs $525. This object is high poly - 900 per half!
Update 15th of August 2024: added new version of TS3 neon arch that incorporates @crispsandkerosene‘s Extended StandardMaterial Shader. You need to download C&K shader edit mod, otherwise the arch will work as if there was no “additive” texture map. I kept the old version as “no shaders version” if you don’t like blurred glow around circuits.

Dance competitions with NL DJ booth
Until recently I wasn’t even aware Sims could take part in a dance competition, because I’ve never used FT DJ booth. Why would I? All nightclubs in Downtown use the NL one and I’ve never bothered to replace them. Then I found out that FT DJ booth has a feature the NL one doesn’t - dance competitions. I decided to make a mod to add this functionality to NL DJ booth, because I’m still too lazy to swap them in nightclubs.
It adds dance competitions to Night Life DJ booth by overriding NL booth resources and adding some extracted from the FT one.
Overriden and added resources
This mod overrides resources of group 0x7F26F636:
BHAVs of instances: 0x00001000, 0x00001004, 0x00001005, 0x0000100C, 0x0000100E, 0x00001011, 0x00001017 and 0x0000101C
OBJD of instance 0x000041AA
Pie Menu Functions and Pie Menu Strings
Text Lists: 0x00000081 (Anims - Adult), 0x00000100 (Attributes), 0x0000012F (Call Named Tree prim string set), 0x0000012D (Dialog prim string set) and 0x0000012E (MakeActionString prim string set)
This mod adds resources of group 0x7F26F636:
BCONs of instances: 0x00001007, 0x00001008 and 0x0000100
BHAVs of instances from 0x00001024 to 0x0000103B
Text List 0x00000130 (Lua Strings)
This mod will conflict with any mod that alters the same resources or adds new resources to NL DJ booth of the same instances as mine mod does.
This mod overrides and adds many resources, so it makes the possibility of conflicts more likely. However, I’m not aware of any conflicts as of the time I’m writing this. If you’re better informed than me, feel free to let me know.
I’ve had few errors while testing this mod, but I wasn’t able to recreate them and I’m not sure what had caused them. Upon reassigning DJ or ordering my Sims to take part in a dance competition again, issues haven’t returned. This mod should work fine, but keep in mind it might throw an error once in a while.
ETA: if you want to use Cyjon’s DJ booth fixes, get “zz_Meduza_NL_DJbooth_dancecompetition_DanceMod” plug-in and load it after my mod (you can use this plug-in without simler90’s mod). You can keep Cyjon’s mod as my mod affects only NL DJ booth, but Cyjon’s mod has to load before my mod and the plug-in I mentioned.
Update 19th of February 2022: added compatibility plug-ins. Download “zz_Meduza_NL_DJbooth_dancecompetition_AutonomyFix” if you use DJ Booth Autonomy Fix by simler90, “zz_Meduza_NL_DJbooth_dancecompetition_DanceMod” if you use Dance Mod by simler90 and “zz_Meduza_NL_DJbooth_dancecompetition_VisitorsBehave” if you use Visitors Behave by Cyjon. If you want to have edits from both “Visitors Behave” and “DJ Booth Autonomy Fix”, choose “zz_Meduza_NL_DJbooth_dancecompetition_AutonomyVisitors”. Compatibility addons have to be used with the main mod (Meduza_NL_DJbooth_dancecompetition) and load after it.
Update 10th of April 2023: added new compatibility plug-in zz_Meduza_Lenna9_LdDarcy_NL_DJBooth_danceCompetition_TextFix. Download this file if you are using Lord Darcy’s Pie Menu Text Strings Fix or Lenna9’s Polish Translation Fix. Make my plug-in load after Lenna-TranslationFix or LdDarcy_PieMenuTextStringsFix (whichever you are using) and after my base mod - Meduza_NL_DJbooth_dancecompetition.
CC potties with potty fixes
I applied changes from TwoJeffs’ potty fixes to three custom potties: Mere Folly potty, Little Rascals potty and sunni’s chamber pot for toddlers.
According to TwoJeffs’ “read me” file:
toddlers using the potty will not quit going just because you queued something for them to do afterward
when potty training a toddler, the annoying delay between when the training is finished and when the trainer ‘woots!’ is lessened
adults can now potty train a toddler if the potty is ‘dirty’. The more a potty is used without being cleaned however, the bigger of a hit the room’s environment score will take.
