Laundry Addons for Laundry Addons update

Hi everyone,

I had a bug report from @abookinmemoryy about my Laundry addon for Lamare's mod not always working properly and figured out the issue.

There has been a slight update to:

The custom global (important for everyone), and the version for Lamare's mod that can also leave a clothing pile.

If you have my mod, please redownload from the main archive and update, and thanks for abookinmemoryy for the bug report 💖

Clickity Money Switch 2.0

Hi everyone!

Next on the list of "Stuff to Clear Out From My Share & Upload Folder" is a mod that I have been working on for WAY too long - a version 2 of my "Money switch" (or keys, if you're a medieval player).

This mod was originally bundled in with Pay 2 Play so I'm not even sure how many people saw it in the first place, but essentially, this object is a fancy "Room Controller" with some cool and fun features, all bundled into a cute little switch!

Like who woulda thought a wee light switch could hold so much power?

Read on below the cut!

This mod was inspired by Inge Jones's "Pay Doors" and the Maxis Bandatron ticket machine. When you place it inside of a room, that room becomes locked and you can set it up in 2 ways:

A room that sims have to pay money to walk into, or

A "function room" that sims have to pay money to rent.

Included in the download is a "readme" file that goes through all of the details, but I'll repeat the basics here:

The "pay to enter" mode can be used for a variety of purposes. You can hold little paid concerts, have paid kareoke rooms, you can make sims pay money to enter into a bedroom for some special sims time, you can make them pay to use a public toilet, or you can fake hotel rooms or BnB rooms by using "pay once per day".

On a business lot, the business owner will receive the money automatically. You can also set someone else to receive the money if you want to. On a residential lot with no business, the mod will find a family member to pay money to. On a community lot with no business, the sim will just pay money to the ether unless a recipient is set.

You can grant free entry to any sim on the lot, and turn it on and off at will.

The "cost to enter" setting goes up and down in $5 increments via a "fridge menu":

And on an un-owned community lot, all settings are stored so they won't be "forgotten" next time the lot loads.

The all-new-in-2.0 "function room" mode is designed for renting out rooms for functions such as a wedding, funeral, party of any kind, meeting, you name it.

Functions can be given either "private" or "public" access, and can be assigned different costs to rent. The scale for this costing mode goes in $50 increments.

If you'd like to hold something exclusive, rent the room in "private access" mode and only sims who you've invited will be able to come in. You can even ban staff from coming into the room if you like.

You can kick people out if they're being rude, and make everyone selectable or un-selectable at the click of a button. If sims are made selectable, they are also marked as a "family member" which means they will not just bugger off and leave in the middle of your wedding, which always annoys me when I'm playing community lot parties.

You can easily invite many different kinds of sims to your function. If they aren't on the lot, they'll be summoned in.

If your sim is in a "group" when they rent the function space, all group members will immediately receive invites and access to a private function.

If you get the "party guests addon", you can do the following: 1. Rent a function room 2. Start a party 3. Enjoy as your party guests are all added automatically to the function list. You do have to start the function first for it to be automatic, otherwise you can just "invite sims on lot" afterwards.

There's some BCON tuning available (details in the readme) and so many options for gameplay possibilities!

My number #1 supporter on this mod during development has been the wonderful @kashmiresims who has devoted SO much time and energy to testing, and giving ideas and feedback. She and I came up with the following list of gameplay possibilities:

Career Promotion Party

Retirement Party

Golden Anniversary

Bachelor/Bachelorette Party

Wedding/Wedding Reception

Engagement Party

Baby Shower

Bridal Shower

Therapy Session

Private Business Opening (Gallery, Exhibitions, etc)

VIP entertainment

Recording Studio/Practice Music Studio

Brunch Events with the girlies

Sports Room/Viewing Party

Wake/Funeral

Work Function/Social Function

Club Gathering

Lock In Charity/Fundraiser Function

Family Reunion

Bed n Breakfast / Fake “hotel”

TED Talk

High Tea rooms

Birthdays (age up when they get home)

Concerts

Karaoke Rooms

Private Lounges

Political Campaign fundraiser

Private Poker Club

And, she sent me some glorious screenshots of her Kashmire sims enjoying their new function spaces, which you can see some of in the readme! Here's my favourite, which the "High Tea room" she put together:

IMPORTANT STUFF:

Required: - My door locking overhaul (included in case you haven't got that yet, and with updated files so overwrite if you have already got it)... I should probably move that mod out of BETA, I think it's done? - William's Money Globals - also recently updated so make sure you get a fresh copy if you haven't yet.

Conflicts: - The parties addon conflicts with Simler90's extra party types mod so I did compatibility patches for that (included) - The Door Locking Overhaul conflicts with some other door locking mods, most notably Cyjon's "Lockable Garage Doors". I did NOT make those mods compatible because the code defeated me, but I did make a mod called "only vehicles thru garage doors" which for me, is a fair alternative. - It's also going to conflict with an upcoming mod overhaul by Siknoy and myself but don't worry, I've already comp patched that - you'll just have to wait and see what we have in store there 😂😉

Again, please see the included readme for more details on how the mod works.

Troubleshooting: This mod almost defeated me with the bugs it threw up in my face again and again. I tried to squash them all, but as always, if something doesn't work properly, send me an ask or a DM and I apologise in advance.

(There is a reason I've been sitting on this mod for like 6 months just going, "I dont wannaaaaaa!!!" 🙈)

Find-a-mate crystal ball fix

A member of my Discord (ZeroPointLibra) was after some help figuring out why the find-a-mate crystal ball wasn't properly excluding AL socialite townies when townies were supposed to not be included, I tried but missed the crux of the issue - and then they ended up using what they'd learned in modding class to figure it out themselves!

They don't have a Tumblr so asked me to share.

This is an edit of @kaluxsims's edit, but only the "find a sim" text string version.

You can grab it here!

Mortality Roller Critical Fix + clearing out my "To Share and Upload" folder (Part 1)

Hi everyone,

First up today a critical fix for my Mortality Roller, as I discovered on stream last night that it was throwing an error during childbirth if it was NOT present on the lot (duhhhhhhhhh) - Download here and replace the main TA_MortalityRoller file. Sorry 🙈

And now a project I really need to get on top of:

Clearing out the "To Share and Upload" folder.

Read on below the cut for a bunch of fun random stuff.

1: A random mod I made ages ago but never uploaded which stops pets from destroying stuff on community lots, mostly cos I was sick of pets destroying decorative "rocks"...

Download here

2: Colour defaults for the Contempo Good Living chair which changes it from this:

To this:

Originally requested by @joplayingthesims, I found these less offensive to the eyes 😂

Download here

3. I made one of my favourite mirrors (the Brasserie) shiftable:

This does come with the side effect of it naturally sitting a bit lower to the ground but at least now you can shift it up without it "jumping" up.

Download here

4. I made a smaller sized addon for the OFB Infinite Repetitions Mirror (also shiftable), repo'd to the original:

Download here

5. A fix for this "Over the Range" sign (Deco / Misc) which makes it so sims can walk through / underneath it, originally requested by @joplayingthesims:

Download here

6. A 4t2 conversion of a Hills Hoist washing line (deco only):

Original here.

Download Here

P.S @lamare-sims I'd love to be able to dry functional laundry on this thing... 🥹🙏🏻

7: A great Australian Colorbond fence and gate in an array of Colorbond metals:

I meant to go back and finish making a "fancy" version but I never got around to it so here's the basic version at least, and shoutout to @morepopcorn for helping with the gate joints (none of which I remember anymore, sorry Poppy 😂🙈) and also to Poppy's wonderful hubby for doing the AMAZING texture work. I kinda just meshed the thing tbh 😂

Download Here

That's all for today but I have a bunch of other more complicated mods to share that will require their own post, so stay tuned for when I have the surge of energy and brain power to write up the descriptions and take screenshots etc etc etc 😁

My Super Pro Modding Class

Hi guys,

Due to many requests from members of my Discord, I am running a very casual and not at all professional "learn to mod" class live on my Discord on Thursday nights 7:30pm ACST.

I am a bit extra sometimes so I'm doing lesson notes, prep and all sorts of stuff, and I am recording the streams and uploading to my second YouTube channel if anyone would like to catch the replays and check things out.

Anyone is of course welcome to come to classes live if you want to and if you can make it, but I know that the time slot is less than ideal for most of the rest of the world 😂 (Sorry). You can join my Discord here, streams are held in "sims-2-tea-parties" and discussion of mod classes can be found in the Sims-2-Coding channel in a thread called "Tea's Modding Class".

I've uploaded Lesson 1 from last week here if you'd like to catch it up and maybe learn some things about SimPE and Sims 2 modding 😊

Love Tea xo

Hi, sorry, follow-up from no-fighting-anon: I just realized when testing, I put the non-lamare version in the main download folder, not the usual one. HDCU says both TA_NoFighting conflict with zmidgethetree_werewolvesfighttransformed. I put back the _lamare version and that mod in the main folder, and it still works. So, problem was probably the werewolf mod, which I'll take out since I hardly ever have werewolves. I hope that follow-up was fast enough you didn't waste time... apologies if not.

Hi again anon,

Oh no worries you didn't waste my time at all 😊I saw your message just before bed and thought "I'll look at that in the morning" lol.

Conflicts, yey!

I did some updates for you:

So you can now choose from:

Only my mod

My mod + Lamare's

My mod + Lamare's + Midge's Werewolves Fight Transformed

My mod + Werewolves fight transformed

If you choose to get one of the werewolf versions you can just delete Midge's original mod as I bundled everything together and put the code into some sub-BHAVs so it's super easy for other modders to find the changes.

If you grab one of the Lamare compatible versions, just make sure to load after her mod.

And as I mentioned in a reply to an ask earlier today, I've made sure the Visitor Controller edit is up to date for the most recent and feature-full version of VC that I know of (Epi's tweaks) - I recommend using it!

Love Tea xo

( @lamare-sims ❤️)

[teaaddictyt]

Hey Tea! About the new version of visitor controller, did you edit crispsandkerosene's version (she added the personality options), or an edit of midgethetree's (which is an edit of c&k's, fixing many different things). I'm asking because midge never changed the name of the file, so both of their versions are called visitor controller with personality. And thanks for the edit, it's gonna be very useful!

Hey Anon,

Oh man this is a great question 🤣

When I made the mod I was using my "test folder" which has *a* version of Visitor Controller in it, but I actually cannot tell you which one it is. It was PROBABLY Midge's version.

When I went to add the mod to my regular folder, I noticed that the VC I have in that folder I've specifically named with "_EpiTweaks" at the end (probably to help me keep track) which is an edit of Midge's version - (found here). Because I wasn't sure if that was the version I edited for the mod, I also just went ahead and edited that version too. LOL.

So, I've updated the download to now have this file:

VisitorControllerWithPersonality_EpiTweaks_TA

That one I can promise you is Midge's version, edited by Epi, and now also by me 😊

I hope that helps!
