🫖Go Out for Tea: Updates and Addons 🫖
Hello!
Following an ask I got yesterday, I got my butt into gear today to finish troubleshooting and updating some new bits and pieces for my Go Out mod.
Read on below
🚗 Go Out With Cars Update
Firstly, I have an essential update for "Go Out With Cars". This now has a nice little guardian / test BHAV that will make it so the option to "Go Out" does not appear unless the right conditions are met.
This will also mean ( @belladovah ) that if you play with William's Driving Licence mod, the option won't appear if the sim doesn't have a licence 😊
There are SIX versions of this mod. Yes, six. Because, car mods.
Use version 1 (TA_Cars_GoOut) if you have no other car mods. Use version 2 (TA_Cars_GoOut_BurglarsAndAlarms) if you only use that mod and no other car mods.
Use version 3 (TA_Cars_GoOut_DriversLicence) if you play with William's Driver's Licence mod.
Use version 4 (TA_Cars_GoOut_DriversLivenceAndVisitSims) if you play with both of those mods.
Use version 5 (TA_GoOut_VisitSims) if you play only with Chris Hatch's VisitSims mod.
Use version 6 (TA_VehicleMaintenance_GoOut) if you have Siknoy's full suite of Vehicle Maintenance mods / all the car mods ever.
As always, put this file in your "Z_LoadLast" folder. It will conflict with many things but everything should work.🤞🏻

⭐Shiny new Addon: Return Time Notification
And now, a new addon!
🚨FOR THIS TO WORK, YOU MUST HAVE GO OUT WITH CARS 🚨(above). It uses Dialogue Strings contained within those files. Please don't get this addon without downloading the update for Go Out With Cars.
Okay, moving on!
Now when your sim returns home from another lot, you will get a notification telling you what time your sim left, and how many hours & minutes they were gone for 😊 This removes the need to remember to check the time and do maths - you're welcome, math haters like @kashmiresims 😂 (you do not want to know how much maths the BHAV does under the hood lol).
This addon edits a semiglobal BHAV 0x2017 Interaction - Go Home from lot transition globals, and BHAV 0x205B Main - Residential from car globals.
I found a conflict with the OFB lot transition motives fix mod, so I have included a version which bundles in that fix. You can delete the original LotTransitionMotivesFix mod file if you use this version.
It also adds 3 custom semiglobal BHAVs, instance numbers 0x2100 in Lot Transition Globals, and 0x2605 & 0x2606 in Car Globals.
Because this mod affects car globals (oh boy), there's a LOT of potential conflicts, mostly around the use of the Dialogue Strings from Car Semiglobals.
I have therefore made the following versions of this addon:
You must have the "TA_GoOutToken" file. That is essential.
If you only have my Go Out mod and no other mods that affect car globals, (i.e. Community Lot Time, VisitSims, Driving Licence, Burglars and Alarms, Vehicle Maintenance...) you can use the "Go Out Only" version. Choose either the base file, or the one with LotTransitionMotivesFix bundled in:
If you have basically any other mods that affect cars, or have no idea and just want to be on the safe side, use the "All The Mods" version 😅
I'm sorry it's complicated🙈 Car mods, OI!

⏰Go Out: College Clock Update
And finally, I have an update to the Go Out University Controller Clock:
This was requested by Marcus at @cityof2morrow 😊 so thankyou Marcus for the inspiration here.
Marcus requested that I bundle in a couple of features that do exist in other College mods (so please dont comment being like "oh I already have a mod that does that"; I KNOW! lol). The aim was simply to reduce the number of different college mods you might want to use.
The college clock can now set hours til final exam, and you can synchronize all students to be the same:
You can also customise this menu in SimPE if you have shorter or longer college semesters.
To do this, open the college clock file, and go to BCONs, Tuning - Hours Til Final Exam:
In line 0, enter the number of pie menu options you wish to have.
In the following lines, in the "Dec" box, enter whatever "hours" options you wish to have. You can "Add Value" to add new lines, or "Delete Value" to delete unneeded lines, as long as line 0 correctly reflects the number of options you want.
For Sims who attend College in the main hood, they can now automatically go on break for weekends. This is also configurable in the BCON Tuning - Days off:
You can configure what day and time their automatic weekend starts and finishes. This will pause their college clock and stop it from counting down. You will get a notification in-game when their weekend starts and finishes!
Weekends for college kids, nice.
This update also required a slight tweak to the "Controller - On Uni Break" file, so please replace that file from the original mod if you want this update.

As always, if you find any new conflicts or issues, let me know and we'll start the hotfixes and comp patching lol.
Enjoy, Love Tea xo *Edited to add more versions of "Go out with cars"
