Title: Butler doesn't take care of kids?
Post by: Naria on January 28, 2009, 02:51:30 pm
Hello. I was wondering if it was possible to make a mod where the Butler doesn't try to be a nanny, and just leaves my Sims kids alone, especially the babies?

I have all EP's and SP's.

This should be easy to do I will get back to you  ;D

Thank you for even considering, Squinge.  ;D

Your Welcome  ;D This mod is in testing.

Chaavik brought up a good point about this mod. Do you still want it?

Hmmm.. interesting idea...

I've got to ask a question about this....

IF the player hasn't installed a mod to prevent the Social Worker from showing up when a baby or toddler is hungry, will the mod literally prevent butlers from feeding these children completely?

I have Inge's social worker hacks, and plus the Sims I have usually stay home with their babies anyway.

Yes, I still would like the mod.

Okay, we will test this extensively to ensure the mod works in every aspect we can think of as a precaution not just for players with Sims who remain at home but also for players who have working Sims.

Anything else you want to consider if you do have working Sims who hire butlers to care for the homes?

Not that I can think of. The only thing about the butler that annoys me is the fact I always have one parent home to take care of the Sim babies, and the butler is always getting in the way trying to take care of them instead. LOL. He just seems to have a thing for my Sims kiddos and it irks me to no end.

But I totally understand that you need to test it extensively for others. I know not everyone will have Inge's mods.

Thanks guys. :)

Okay, no problem! Check back in a little while for any more updates on the mod in testing. Could take up to 2 or 3 days, maybe sooner until we know for sure the mod is working as intended.

By the way, if there's something you guys can think of to improve the mod for others, a feature to add or something of the sort, it doesn't bother me. I'm just sick of yelling at my game going, "Step away from the baby and no one gets hurt!"  ;)

EDIT: Any update on this mod?? It's been a while, I'm wondering if the testing had issues that made it impossible?

All of my beta testers are MIA so it may be awhile before I know if this is working.

That's all right. :)

I plan to check this out a bit later and get the results back to Mr Squinge whenever I can. Check back in a day or two for further info.

I did a search and I found exactly what I was looking for: butler leave my babies alone!

I don't see end result. Is this still a work in progress? Have I asked another dumb question?

I found the list of things that are work in progress for Squinge and Chaavik.

I see that "Butler leave kids alone" in on it.

Great!

Thanks, Squinge and Chaavik!!!!!  3yay

Please don't double-post within minutes of each other. Use "Modify" to edit your post with new info.

There was a slight problem with the mod not working quite like it should, but Mr Squinge is extremely busy at the moment with some personal things in RL. But he does have this on his To Do list to fix when he's able to.

Chaavik, Thank you and sorry to take your time. It is good to know that I don't need to double-post but can modify. I don't always catch on by just reading instructions (it doesn't always sink in) so I do mess-up on the InSim etiquette. I will try harder. You do great work and I am so impressed with the way you stand by Squinge. Thanks, again!
