#mod: visitor controller

[midgethetree]

Hi, Midge. I interested in ChrisHatch's Visit Other Sims (AL), but when I ran SiMidge it reported conflicts with RomanticStandards objectinteractiontestfix, riskywoohoo-birthcontrol from RCC, your VisitorControllerWithPersonality, as well as dreadpirate_woohooteens_noteenadult,dreadpirate_adultsgosteady_lastnamedialog, CJ-MaternityPayFix and pqw_MoodSwing. Screenshots: imgur com/a/iLJi64L. CHJ's mod found here: ilovethesims2cc /post/173979009037/. Could you tell me if they're compatible, please?

(anon about CJH's visit other sims mod). By the way, I also tried to check for conflicts with CJHWalkToOtherSimsAL, but SiMidge would stop responding when I did that. If the conflicts shown on the screenshots I took are solvable by loading order, would you mind trying to check for conflicts with that one file as well, please? I'm guessing it's unlikely, with that many conflicts, but anyway, I'll keep the mods I previously had if those conflicts can't be avoided. Happy New Year, Midge!

Generally with a complex mod like visit other sims you need it to load after mods it conflicts with.

Go back to RS and get RomanticStandards-objectinteractiontestfix-visitothersimscompatible, not RomanticStandards-objectinteractiontestfix. This is an exception to the aforementioned rule and should load after visit other sims, since that version is specifically designed to work with that mod.

As for the side effects of having visit other sims load after the other mods: with risky woohoo car woohoo won't be risky. With the visitor controller, sims won't be automatically forced into the lot's set outfit upon exiting a taxi/car/etc if you use that VC feature. With adults go steady there won't be any issues.

My guess is the conflict with woohooteens would have visitothersims preventing teens from woohooing in cars. Mood swing will lose some dialogs needed for popups unless you copy them into the dialog string set in visitother sims. I have not looked at Cyjon's maternity pay BHAV, but that looks like it might be a pretty crucial BHAV for the mod and this might be a one-or-the-other situation.

I don't have the same set of mods as you do, so me running a conflict scan of CJHWalkToOtherSimsAL isn't going to be that helpful. Instead I fixed the issue with SiMidge that caused it to hang when using the specific-file conflict checking option with files with large resources. Please redownload.

Hello, I asked earlier how to solve a conflict between your children stay later mod edit and the visitor controller and I am not sure if the ask reached you, if yes then I am sorry for asking again?

Hi! Just have children stay later load last.

Hey, first I would like to thank you from your awesome mods; they have really made playing sims 2 fun again. I hipe you would be able to fix one problem I still have with Visitor Controller (twojeff) and Simological Colourful key system. Even though Visitor Controller has option to ban out sims carrying certain colour keys for some reason colours of the keys are not regognised. Only thing visitor controller "sees" is difference between keyless and key carrying sims.

Hi! I looked at the code to figure out what was going wrong and I think I fixed the issue... try downloading my version.

I'm so sorry, probably a dumb question (I don't have my game installed yet to try it out), but does your version of TJs Visitor Controller keep the ability to ban certain genders and gender preferences from a lot?? Would this mod make gay bars possible?? Like, in an Amazonian bar, can I specify I only want gay/bisexual females to spawn, not straight females (or any males) as they will be uninterested in the lesbian I take down there? You don't have to answer if you're busy! <3 <3

Yep, I kept all the features of the original visitor controller adjuster / @crispsandkerosene‘s personality additions, just made it so it didn’t force casualwear when not choosing a clothing option and changed how it banned NPCs by default. So gay bars and the like are totally possible :)

Sorry I feel like I sent this one, but this: Simler90's 'LotVisitMod-UPDATE4' conflicts with 'VisitorControllerWithPersonality'. Procedure Name: Sub - Can Person Visit?, Group ID: 0x7F17187C, Instance ID: 0x00001006. Advice??

Pick one or modify one.

Conflicts between Simler90's 'VisitorNoAgeRestrictions' and your 'VisitorControllerWithPersonality'. Procedure Name: Visitor Age Check, Group ID: 0x7F028F29, Instance ID: 0x00001031. Load your mod last..??

That's one of only two BHAVs in simler90's mod so it almost certainly won't work if mine loads last, but mine also needs to load last to fully function. Once again, pick or modify.

Your 'WatchKidsEnabled-staylate' conflicts with your 'VisitorControllerWithPersonality', Procedure Name: Visitor - Time to Leave? Group ID: 0x7F01EC29, Instance ID: 0x00002241. I did search it through your posts but I found conflicting posts on load order. There is 'Switch to my visitor controller or have watch kids enabled load last.' and 'Hello! Make sure visitor controller loads last and all will be fine'. I'm probably being dumb, but I'm very confused. Please help?

If you're using the old VC, watch kids enabled needs to load last to avoid jump bugs. If you're using mine, it matters less but I'd recommend having visitor controller load last. That's why those pieces of advice are what they are.

Hi Midge! Could the Visitor Controller be set to ban certain pets (skunk, wolves, penguin) by default? If so, how would I do that? Is it similar to editing the annoying npcs group? Any advice is appreciated, thanks!

Hello! No it's not similar because the BHAVs haven't been setup to look for a BCON yet. I discuss editing BHAVs to automatically ban certain groups here.
