Sit on Floor to Watch TV

[t r a c y]

thank you so much, this is fantastic !  is it wrong for me to have a crush on you because of your mods ?  like everyone else doesn't feel the same way, heh.  anyway, the standing to watch tv thing has always driven me nuts, so thanks for a wee bit of my sanity back.

someone commented earlier that sims should be able to watch tv from other angles other than facing directly forward - i heartily agree !  it would be great if they could watch from seats that are on a 45 degree angle, as i place a lot of my sofa-chairs that way.

Thank you SO much. This makes all the stupid chairs obsolete

[AngelFace]

That is great,you can call me stupid if you want but can you do it were they can have snacks while they are watching tv.like during a sports party or something.

Hey Squinge,

This is great so far but... is it possible to make it so sims don't route to directly in frount of couches? Can you make them choose spaces off to the side, or at least one tile past the opening tiles to couches and chairs.

I had an instance where, one sim was sitting down in the only living chair, which only had one tile between it and the TV. As a result, a second sim came along and plopped herself right on that tile. I thought, neat! Now they can both watch tv.

Well... when I wasn't looking, the sim in the chair somehow managed to sneak out and a 3rd sim came along to try to use the chair. Well... the sim sitting on the floor was now blocking the way. I know I could easily cancel the sim out and what not, but I was just wondering, since you're hack is making them route to find a space to sit, can you make it route to tiles that do not block other objects, namely chairs and sofas/couches? I guess it didn't block the sim from escaping, but it apparently blocks entry.

Actually it's the force sit on floor global function that tells sims where to sit, you could look inside that function or I will when I get a chance to see if there is anyway to change it

Yay!  Thanks so much for this hack!

Why aren't you working for Maxis Squinge!? You should be working there right now and maybe letting a few things leak out about the next EP *hint* lmao JK

[pseudonymph24]

cool hack! thanks.

Thanks for this, Squinge! I can't stand it when they stand up to watch tv instead of using the chair when the only thing wrong with it is the angle its at.

[CharlotteKelly]

Thank you.  Now I can make better use of the chairs in my Asylum Challenge

[greeneyedsims]

Thank you sooo much!  Just yesterday, my poor Sims had the Welcome wagon come over, and since they can't afford enough seating, several of them stood behind the couch, and I thought that looked so wrong.
