3 to 2 Traits Project - Childish + Vehicle Enthusiast - RC Car Sanity (Non Trait Version included!)

Hello again, lovely Simmers! I have a small mod for you today, but one that you might find useful for your game.

RC Car Sanity makes it so that Sims without either the Childish trait, or Sims without either the Vehicle Enthusiast trait, enough Tinkering enthusiasm AND enough Playful personality points will no longer autonomously play with RC Cars.

I've also included a version for those who don't want to use the traits mod, which will only use the criteria that don't include traits.

Specifics and technical details under the cut!

There are specific criteria that a Sim needs to meet to be able to play autonomously with the RC Car, any one counts:

The Sim has 10 points in Playful (included in non-trait version)

The Sim has the Childish Trait

The Sim has the Vehicle Enthusiast Trait AND at least 5 points in Playful

The Sim has at least 3 bars in Tinkering Enthusiasm AND at least 7 points in Playful (included in non-trait version)

I also fixed a small thing with this mod. Before the RC Car would check how much Games enthusiasm a Sim had in order to determine how much fun it would advertise to a Sim. I didn't think this was appropriate because they give Tinkering Enthusiasm (And besides Games has enough to work with anyway), so I swapped it over to check Tinkering enthusiasm for fun advertisement.

This mod should affect all RC Cars, including the RC Helicopter. If you have any problems or find an RC vehicle that it doesn't work with, please let me know!

Conflicts and Requirements

This mod was created with Sims 2 Ultimate Collection. This mod will conflict with any mods that change the following resource:

0x7FA6640C:0x2001 Interaction - Play With TEST

The trait version of this file requires Easy Inventory Check by Hexagonal-Bipyramid, who is also the lovely author of the traits project! This mod (obviously) also requires their traits mod, found here.

Please remember to let me know if you have any problems with this mod, as I have only tested it in my own game so far!

Hope you enjoy, and happy Simming!

Update 1 - Now with Kids!

I forgot to factor in Child Sims into the equation, oops...

Child Sims will now be able to autonomously play with the RC Car if they either have Vehicle Enthusiast or ANY Tinkering enthusiasm. Of course with the No Trait Version it just checks for Tinkering Enthusiasm.

Update 2 - Loop Fixes Incorporated

Thanks to the lovely Belladovah I was informed this conflicts with Cyjon's Loop Fixes mod. I've now incorporated their fixes into the mod so your Sims should no longer mess with it if their fun is full.

This mod will still conflict with Loop Fixes but you can continue using that mod if you make sure to load my mod after theirs.

Update 3 - Value Fixes

Small but essential update, I misjudged the values I needed to put in which was causing unintended behavior. I've now fixed those values to match what I originally intended.

Traits Project (Part 3-33) - Still a Child at Heart

A big one! This part is about toys (most of them).

Teens and older Childish Sims can now play with toys from toy boxes and doll houses. They might also do it autonomously.*

Sims now have a toy preference when getting one from the toy box depending on their traits. Animal Lovers and Equestrians prefer ponies, Sailors prefers boats, Vehicle Enthusiasts prefer cars.

Children with the Natural Cook trait will always make good muffins from the Rip Co. Little Baker Oven . Absent-Minded children will always do confused animations when making one.

Teens and older Sims won’t autonomously play with Open for Business toys (toy robots, Sir Bricks-a-lot, clown-in-a-boxes, fire trucks and kites)** unless they have the Childish trait. Insane Sims can also autonomously play with a Sir Bricks-a-lot and Bot Fans can do the same for toy robots (and are more attracted to play with them). Young/Childish Sims with the Vehicle Enthusiast trait are more attracted to play with fire trucks.

Brave and Evil Sims won't fear clown-in-a-boxes after they played with an evil version of it. They won’t get a bad memory from it.

Evil Sims will like playing with the evil version of the clown-in-a-box. They will also react positively when watching others playing with it like mean Sims.

Evil Sims won't be electrocuted from using an evil kite. However, they can still be electrocuted like any other Sims if they use a kite during a thunderstorm if you have Seasons installed.

* It might not work with custom toy boxes and doll houses. ** The Wet n’ Wild Water Wiggler is covered in part 3-4 of the Traits Project.

Required mod: Smarter EP Check

Required EPs:

Open for Business if you install the following files:

botFan-childish_toyRobotAutonomy

brave-evil_evilJackInTheBoxFearAndLikeness

childish_jackInABoxAutonomy

childish_kiteAutonomy

childish-insane_sirBricksALotAutonomy

childish-vehicleEnthusiast_fireTruckToyAutonomy

evil_immuneFromEvilKites

Nightlife or later for the rest.

Known conflicts: Any mod that changes the autonomy for objects mentioned above like No Bogarting OFB Toys for example. Both this mod and mine does the same thing (making OFB toys non autonomous for teens and older Sims) but mine allows it for certain traits. You might want to remove No Bogarting OFB Toys or make my mod load after it.

Traits Project Ideas III

Some more ideas for @hexagonal-bipyramid Traits Projects.

Part I Part II

Brooding :

Learn Cooking, Painting and Writing more slowly Shower longer than other Sims Social need will hit bottom when losing a friend

  Can’t Stand Art :

Will not react well with art / sculpture Won’t enjoy talking about art & crafts Learn creativity more slowly Never a wish to buy deco or art or sculpture Will build badges and other hidden skills related to art more slowly

  Cat person :

Want to adopt & interact with cats more often Build relationship with cats faster Training cats is quicker Don’t want to adopt dogs

  Charismatic :

Build charisma more quickly More successful conversation More friendly interactions available early Never bore other sims Build friend more quickly, lose them more slowly Sims have the charisma bonus even if they don’t have enough charisma skills, so the chance of telling a good joke is increased. ► Done by @hexagonal-bipyramid here

Childish :

More fun while watching cartoon on TV Slide down the staircase enabled (and autonomous ?) Want to jump on couches (and autonomous ?) Happy to see a ghost More often bored by conversations Want to play games with other (kick a bag etc) More joke, want for private joke etc. Sims with @hexagonal-bipyramid​‘s childish trait can be viewed as childish regardless of age. ► Made by @midgethetree here

Clumsy :

Break objects more often Will start fire more often Bad with repairing Learn mechanics less quickly trip on treadmill drop hackysack can't dance well or juggle even with high body/dance skill (thanks @ajaysims !)

Traits Project (Part 3-18) - The Sweet Scent of Books

Bookworms get more fun from reading books in general. They will be more attracted to reading books.*

Brooding Sims are more attracted to write in their diary than other Sims.

Childish Sims get more fun from reading Children’s books.

Computer Whizzes get more fun from reading Scifi books.

Dramatic Sims get more fun from reading Drama books.

Hopeless Romantics get more fun from reading Romance books.

Natural Cooks get more fun from reading Cooking books (not to be confused with the book used to study Cooking skill).

Perceptive Sims get more fun from reading Mystery books.

The fun bonus stack up, so a Sim with both the Natural Cook and Bookworm traits will have a bigger fun gain from reading Cooking books for example.

* With Freetime, the way the autonomy works for reading books changes, so you will need mrclopes' Read Books Autonomy mod to make it work again, though Apartment Life is needed. Be sure that this mod loads before mine.

Required mod: Smarter EP Check

Required EPs: It’s a bit complicated because books differs greatly depending on expansion packs, so it depends on each file you install:

readBookAutonomy: Nightlife or later. If you have Freetime and Apartment Life, be sure to download this mod or it won’t do anything.

moreFunFromBooks: Freetime (though Apartment Life is recommended)

brooding_writeDiaryAutonomy: Nightlife or later

I wish I could make a more compatible version that only requires Nightlife, but I guess it’s not possible for now.

Not required, but recommended mod: Freetime books fixed by gummilutt, especially if you don't like the motive changes from different book genres like hunger decrease from reading Cooking books, hygiene decrease from reading Scifi and social increase from reading Romance books. You can download GummiluttFTBookFixMoreRealistic and change the BCON to your liking. GummiluttFTBookFixOnlyFun isn't compatible with this mod though, so you can download GummiluttFTBookFixMoreRealistic and change the BCON for other motives at 0.

Traits Project (Part 3-13) - Personal Hygiene

Wooo! Finally something big! This will implement traits when Sims are using or want to use showers and bathtubs (and sinks for those inappropriate ones).

For Sims with the Brooding trait:

They take a shower half the time longer (except if they also have the Eco-Friendly trait).

If they don’t have the Hydrophobic trait, they stay in the bathtub longer even if their hygiene is full. The time they stay is random (from a couple minutes to almost an hour). You can always tell the Sim to stop, but leaving them contemplating life in the tub will make their fun go up a bit.

For Sims with the Childish trait:

They can play in the bathtub and can do it autonomously (like playful Sims).

For Sims with the Eco-Friendly trait:

They will only autonomously shower if their hygiene is less than -5.*

They will only autonomously bath if either there are no shower on the lot or all showers are occupied. Also, their hygiene must be less than -15.*

They take half the time to shower.

For Sims with the Hydrophobic trait:

They will only autonomously bath or shower if their hygiene is less than -40.*

They are depressed when they are told to take a bath or a shower (the reaction is more intense if the Sim also has the Dramatic trait).

They lose a bit of fun in the bathtub/shower if they were told to.

They sigh after taking a bath/shower.

For Sims with the Inappropriate trait:

They have the sponge bath interaction unlocked, so you can direct them to sponge bath anytime.

They will change into their underwear after taking a bath/shower.

For Sims with the Sailor trait:

They can be directed to play in the tub, but will only do it autonomously if they are either playful or have the Childish trait. If they are either playful or Childish, they will be a bit more attracted to play in the bathtub.

They will have more fun when playing in the tub.

They will also play in the tub for a longer time.

For Sims with the Slob trait:

Their bladder will go up when they shower like extremely sloppy Sims.

* Motives goes from -100 (depleted) to 100 (full).

Finally, non controllable Sims can now take a shower or a bath on community lots and open home businesses. Very handy for making functional gyms! You may want to remove any mods that does this to minimize conflicts.

Like in my previous traits mods, these changes are split into several files so you can choose what files you want to install. You can find the list of files with their features associated in the documentation provided in the zip file.

If you have @midgethetree‘s Mermaid mod, be sure to download the mermaid version and be sure to put dramatic-hydrophobic-mermaid_takeBathTweaks so that it loads after the mermaid mod.

Required mod: Easy Inventory Check and Smarter EP Check

Required EPs: Nightlife or later

Not required, but recommended mod: Dumb In Use Test by Cyjon. With this, Sims can tell if the shower is occupied from across the entire lot so Eco-Friendly Sims will be more inclined to bath when there are no other options for them. Without the mod, an object can still be marked as "available" even when someone is using it if the distance between the object and the Sim is higher than 10 tiles. Some people may like it, some may not.

There are two versions. Choose only one.

Traits Project (Part 3-10) - What’s Good On TV?

Athletic Sims love the Sports channel

Childish Sims love the Kids channel

Dislike Children Sims hate the Kids channel

Natural Cooks love the Cooking channel

Nurturing Sims like the Kids channel

Virtuosos love the Music channel

Technophobes hate any channel

The likeness of a channel for Sims who don’t have any of these trait will be based on their age just like in an unmodded game. Sims can either hate, dislike, like or love a specific channel.

From The Sims 2 Prima Guide (page 276):

Ages prefer different channels as reflected in each age’s Fun satisfaction speed and Fun maximum when watching the channel. The more a Sim likes a channel, the longer they’ll watch. If they hate a channel, they’ll exit sooner. Sims turning on a TV or joining it when no other Sims are watching will change to their age’s preferred channel.

Required mod: Easy Inventory Check

Required EPs: University if you also install the Sports channel one. None otherwise.
