It is with great sadness we learned of the passing of John Blanche.
John was an artistic powerhouse whose unmistakable style was a unique lens through which many of us came to know and love the worlds of Warhammer. John was also a friend and mentor to many of us here at Games Workshop. Our heartfelt condolences go to his family and friends.
The universe John helped create is a big place. He will be missed.
we got to have this! we got to have a valve game set in the half life universe, and its an enemies-to-lovers-to-enemies-again sci fi comedy story about a homicidal ai created to run tests forever and the test subject she catches feelings for!! how is this game real!!!
Hi guys, I've been cooking up a lotta stuff in my modding kitchen!
(I'll be honest, it's chaos over here lol. I got my fingers in too many mod pies!!)
This mod feeds into a larger project of mine, coming soon™️, but here is an overhaul of Inge Jones's wonderful 4-key gender choice door mod.
So, what have I done? Read on and find out...
Firstly, I have redone the pie menus so all locking options are now under "lock.../".
Secondly, I've added locking functionality to arches... Because @kashmiresims asked me to and I said, "sure I should be able to do that!"
Thirdly, I've added key locking to community lots, and the locking information is now stored on a hidden lot token that persists between loads. This means that you can set up a community lot to have keys assigned to doors and those changes won't be "forgotten" when you load in and out of the community lot. Yey!
And fourthly, I have gotten rid of the limit of 4 keys. You may now give out unlimited keys to as many sims as you like.
Gender locking remains as it was; you may now lock any door for either females only or males only if desired.
Key locking has been very much re-done. To start with, you select Lock.../ Allow Me Only, or Lock.../ Allow Only
This will lock the door and give the first key to whichever sim you select.
The Menus are much cleaner than Inge's original mod with all the text strings about giving key 1 to - sim on lot etc etc. Cos honestly, those menus were a bit of a pain in the butt to navigate in my opinion!
The Lock / Allow Only / Any Sim menu is sorted into households, similar to other mods you may be familiar with such as SimBlender's teleport feature, etc.
Once the door is locked, you then get a "keys" menu -
Within this menu you may reset the door, removing any and all assigned keys. You can remove keys to any sim assigned a key, and give out extra keys to any sim you like, again with the options of sims on the lot, or the entire neighbourhood of sims.
If anything goes wonky with the door, just hit reset and start again.
Once the door has a keyholder lock, if you then unlock the door, you can then re-lock the door for keyholders only.
I think this mod is fairly solid and working well, but it probably needs more testing in a variety of different games so please do let me know of anything broken or not working as intended.
Aaaaand that's it. That's the mod. As I mentioned, this mod will be required for the next mod I have coming out (which is a cool one imo) so I recommend grabbing it lol.

In terms of conflicts, it will definitely conflict with Inge's original 4-key gender choice patch, so replace with mine.
It should work fine with Inge's colour keys system.
I don't know of any other conflicts yet so if you find them, let me know!
