Part 2 is for the girls and women (and one little bonus)!

I felt that some of these meshes didn't have many recolors so I had to fix that :)

Stop the mooching - Split restaurant bill

We've all been there. Our sim is out having a lovely time with some friends, perhaps family, or a whole frat worth of loose acquaintances. They are hungry, they want to eat.

And somehow by the end your Sim has to foot the bill for the whole affair. Hardly seems fair, does it? I mean how often do you go around paying for everyone when you eat out? Nah. I am tired of my poor newcomers in town trying to make friends only to end up with a 8 people restaurant bill to cover on their meager salary. Clearly it is not my fault for making food more expensive resulting in 800+ bills (😇) but the lack of manners in sim-restaurants not providing a means to split the cost 😤 No more!

With this mod, the restaurant podium (*) will now give you the option of splitting the bill. Can be used on dates as well as outings, though it only shows up if there are non-household members taking part in the meal. If there are any such, the podium will give you the option to only pay a fair share of the total bill, corresponding to the % your sims make up out of the total. In the example above, only one sim out of 4 was part of the household, so the sim is given the option to pay 25% of the bill. If two sims had been household members, it would have been 50%, and so on. (**)

(*) Will not apply to custom podiums without a tweak, more info under the cut. (**) Only active household pays, the remainder of the bill is negated entirely. If you play a strictly regulated economy, your restaurant will earn less when you use this option. To track exactly what you ate, or force payment from multiple source is both overly complicated and more conflict-prone, and I do not personally think it is worth the effort here. If you run OFB restaurants, just don't use the option in those.

Conflicts: None that I know of. Does not conflict with Lamare's reservable tables 😊 Edits TTABs of the maxis podiums, action strings and pay bill action/guardian interactions in the semi-global, and adds one custom bhav to the semi-global.

Credits: @episims who when I was frustrated about this in my game pointed out it probably wouldn't be too hard to fix, and what do you know it wasn't. Thank you for being my second opinion and pointing out I can do more than I myself think I can :P Love ya buddy 🥰 @grilledcheese-aspiration who was kind enough to do some tests for me, much appreciated! @kashmiresims who kindly agreed to take previews for me since my game is in Swedish and the text would not have made a lot of sense to most of you :3 Her sims are lucky they don't get my kind of bills! 😁

The Sims CODEX - reviewed

Sul Sul!

I know last time I posted about this I got some comments pushing back on my use of AI for this app. I understand the concerns that people have, so i'm trying to be more thoughtful going forward. I have never used AI like this in the past, it was simply because I got given "Free Access" with the purchase of my new computer and I thought I would utilize the fact it was free to finally create something that I wanted. That free era is almost over but I won't be using it again.

I also got way more comments / messages saying how much they enjoyed the app. Thank you for both kinds of messages, good or bad.

After talking and discussing with people on both sides of the fence I have come the decision to hire a HUMAN developer to look into the app, look at its code, check for any "nastiness" that some people were worried out, and genuinely review and audit / fix any coding errors.

Going forward I will acknowledge that yes, the initial set up for this app was built with the help of AI, but future updates / current changes and anything else will be done by a hired human developer.

This developer gave me a comprehensive review of the app and confirmed there was no nastiness or weird stuff going on with the code - which I knew anyway but it's nice to have that confirmed.

They had some recommendations for some changes, such as as only allowing the app to read .package files / its own files. When "uninstalling" it should make sure it is only removing files it created - it should be doing that anyway but they recommended some more checks in the back end.

So they have edited some of the code already. But I hired them again to address the tightening of the code regarding the file reading and other recommendations they have suggested. Which again, has now been implemented.

So that being said... here is the Sims CODEX - again!

Note - The Sims CODEX is currently unsigned, so Windows / Some antivirus programs may show a warning. This is because code signing requires paid identity verification which displays my personal details. The app is offline, reads local Sims 2 .package files, and has had its source reviewed for unsafe behavior.

Introducing The Sims CODEX

Sul Sul!

I have been working on a neat little app (with AI - yes, yes, AI this AI that. If you don't like the idea of using AI to help build the App, move on, noone is forcing you to use this)

But this is a glorified spreadsheet, where you can view all your Sims in your hoods. It extracts all kinda of info like traits skills etc. Set your ages, find your age spans in settings and your good to go!

Look at all hoods / subhood stats,

View your Sims;

You can rearrange all the windows, close window bring out some more, add notes and adapt to how you want it to look!

You can also look at family trees! Huge family trees are supported! Add bio parents for adopted Sims etc.

You can look at the hoods demographics of your hood!

You can also update stuff real time, whilst the game is open! You can also track your rounds on this app too!

Have a look at the tutorial mode for an in depth guide and tutorial on how to make the most out of this app!

Report any bugs please! Consider this early access?

Note - due to using python, it might flag as unsafe to use on windows, just click show more and then run anyway!

In the haste of uploading, I forgot to say a HUGE HUGE thanks to @picknmixsims for having their source code available! If it wasn't for their source code this app would not be where it is now! Thank you!!!
