So I tweaked Serinion’s In-vitro capsule tuning to make it fill the charge need of servos (not an override). The code references Serinion’s original mod, notably the animation, so you need his mod for this to work.
$ Available on his patreon (not free) : download here.
There are 3 versions: 1 that is exactly like Serinion’s mod but with my tuning, 1 that is shown in the before to last image of this post, graphics are free to use as long as the artist is credited: shoutout to PCHVector on Freepik, and finally the version from the last picture for which I made the texture (I called them “basics”).
Program Your Servos to Know that Shower WooHoo is Bad For Them mod
details/commentary under the cut lol
Make Vampires Better Parents mod- even vampire children need sleep and human food and to keep on a normal schedule so they can go to school! In my experience vampires are not the best at this. They can be amazing, loving, caring parents and still they will forget to cook any human food for their kids and wake them up at 2 am to play chess or some shit. Obviously if you’re controlling the household it’s not always a huge issue, but it is if you have like 4 adult vampires in the house and a couple children, and all the adults want to do is talk to/parent/play with the kids all the time.
Stop Eating the God Damn Plasma Fruit Salad mod- I would understand the first time an unsupervised child (or an adult who doesn’t know about plasma fruit) attempted to eat plasma fruit salad, but unless you’re like a toddler (and it was left out unattended and you somehow got into it, or a dumb adult served it to you) you would LEARN after the first time not to eat it!! Even if it’s the last food in the fridge, you’d get a quick meal instead, ask an adult for food, or cook food yourself!
Stop Dying In The Sun Autonomously mod- Now I don’t mean the whole neighborhood stories dying in accidents thing, that’s fine (there are obviously scenarios where that would be plausible as a real accident). I mean legitimately, purposefully, standing in the sun when your vampire energy is low until you literally die. I have SEEN IT HAPPEN THREE TIMES NOW and that is THREE TIMES TOO MANY. One time a vampire got home from work and instead of running inside, decided to hang out on the sidewalk for NO DAMN REASON. Another time, Vladislaus Straud went to Bufo’s meet and greet at the pool (there was a lot of shade there so I thought it’d be fine!!!!) and stood directly in the sun (and he has at least one weakness to sun iirc). The third time, Lilith came to the Forsythe house without me knowing and started working on the rocket ship in broad daylight!!! (Thankfully Caleb was there with his death flowers he got from gardening....)
Put On Your Coat Young Man/Lady mod- this is something I fix currently with MC Dresser, and can even be fixed with in-game testing cheats iirc? but it’s annoying af to have to notice every time a random sim is about to die because their stupid ass is wearing a bikini in a blizzard. Tbf it can be kind of morbidly funny sometimes, but it happens SO OFTEN that it’s just ridiculous, and it doesn’t seem to matter how “smart” a sim is (be it book smart or outdoors-smart- if they’re a genius, or they have a high logic skill, or if they love the outdoors, or if they are a great skiier...). It should at least depend on that (I know that’s asking a lot but I like to dream big, sue me)
Program Your Servos to Know that Shower WooHoo is Bad For Them mod- this sounds ridiculous, but.... I have autonomous woohoo on, and one of Kaeru’s partners is a servo. They were in her dorm, and suddenly they do the “YEAH let’s DO IT” animation and I’m like “UH WHERE YALL GOING” and I watch in shock and awe as they start going into the fucking shower. SURPRISING TO NO ONE, not a second later they come out and the poor servo is broken, and I have Kaeru start fixing them right away. Kaeru is studying physics (handiness, rocket science, and ROBOTICS) and the servo IS A SERVO who I believe was ALSO STUDYING PHYSICS. OF ALL PEOPLE THEY SHOULD KNOW!!!
So first I’d need to be able to actually mod Sims. Tbf I haven’t done much research, I am v chaotic and usually try to figure shit out first lol, should probably just look it up XD Because from a quick look all the game scripts are in .pyc and thus I can’t just look at them and edit them with VSCode because they’re all just like weird characters and shit so iirc they’re compiled python, so I need some kind of decompiler? and then there’s probably a better way to do it than that anyway lol like it’s not like to add mods to your game you have to actually edit the real game files?
Anyway these are just ideas right now. I don’t think they exist yet. If they do or you’re working on something lmk because I’m super interested obviously! Also I would love some friends to talk about sims related programming/etc stuff with ;u;
