Must we from now on call Morague "hack sister" :)

Good question,lol you will have to ask her:laughing:

Thanks Squinge ! I was tired of my Sims only getting pizza...

Your welcome but the thanks goes to Morague, she did this request for me:)

This really is in testing. It should work & I am testing it as well, but I'm not an expert like Squinge. He is totally awesome. I am still taking baby steps.

So, I really would like feedback :)

Hack Sister is pretty funny. LOL.

Morague I have question because of this reply.

Since it is clearly mention that it applies to home lots, would it affect greek lots in University section as well?  And at the same time, would it affect what munchie bot bring back home?

EDIT:  I am personally thinking it makes only Sims in regular hood or maybe also business secion lots bring back random things.

muchie bots don't visit campus only sims do, I think what that person meant is their sims only bring back pizza when they visit campus & not objects:)
 
edit:It may work for a business if it's a residential lot because it checks for a dorm if the lot isn't a dorm then it checks for residential then removes itself if it's any other type of lot.

So does it affect what sims will bring at greek house lots in University section or not?  I know depending on the level of it they will only bring pizza.  I personally don't want it to affect that so this is why I want a more precise answer. From reading this, I don't think it does though:

Here is part of the email Morague sent me which should answer your question "I also removed the references to the Frat House's level & just made it a Level 5 which is the level they need to be at to get pizza & random objects."

Ok - currently this mod replaces the standard Greek House commands. The only way to get Residential lots to go get stuff was to set them to Level 5, because they actualy can't pledge people - which is what the standard Greek House level is based on.

Elven Ranger indicated he wasn't using a Campus, so in his case, it really doesn't matter. This is a rather specific mod. Having said that, I will see what i can do about making a separate mod out of it, so that you can have the greek HJouse work normally & also have Residential lots randomly getting stuff. But, this may take awhile! As I pointed out - I am not anywhere near Squinge's level, but I am careful & attentive.

So, yes, this does affect what the Uni Greek Houses can bring back - it removes the test for what level they are at & just makes it level 5, so they will bring back pizza & objects. I changed the Pie Strings so you can see what it is they are going for - rather than Visit Campus it will say Bring Back Pizza or Bring Back Object.

This should not have anything to do with munchie bots - totally separate things.

The mod first tests if you have Uni installed, then it tests if it's a Greek House & if not a Greek House then if it's a residential lot, so it should still work if you have a Home business. I will see if I can separate these - to make the residential part totally independant from The Greek House - that would great.

5/5/2006 @10:21 PM. I have been testing this & honestly I don't think it's working. I think I've missed a Frat lot check somewhere - somewhere else in the coding that is preventing this from firing. So, please be patient. I am working on a separate mod that will hopefully sort this all out. Sorry!

Thank you very much for the detailed information about your mod Morague I really appreciate it.  Don't change anything on it because of me unless someone else request it.  I am not planning on using it for now I was more curious of what was involve by installing it to make a choice weither I want it or not. :)

is this an pie menu interaction thingy or is it like the uni one

No it happens at random just like the university one:)

New Version 1.1 It is now working see screenshots.
 
Update 2: Version 1.1a now sims will only bring back objects and nothing else.

Since this is enabled to home lot, can you change it (the go to Campus texts) to maybe go to Town or something?

Hello emino,

It should not say Visit Campus - it should say bring Back Object. If you are getting Visit Campus then the mod isn't working.

I havent test it ye. Just asking arround. Thanks!

Very nice! Thanks!

works great ! thank you!!

I have just removed the alternate version of this mod becuase there is something wrong with it, I recomend that you remove it from your game & use the other version or wait until I figure out the problem and post an updated version.
 
I am very sorry about this I wasn't aware of the problem until just now.

This one is heaps of fun for new Sims just starting out in the world, but it seems a bit silly for rich, established Sims to go out hunting for stuff that's much worse than what they already have.

Is it possible to have the 'bring back' action attached to an item at all, so that we can still have our poor Sims visit the local charity shops (I'm assuming that's where they're shopping) but turn the option off for richer Sims?

If so, that'd be just perfect. :)  :)

This mod is great and I've been testing it, but this error has been happening in my game lately, but its mostly just an annoyance (unless it happens when I'm in the CinemaCam, then I start throwing a fit).
Anyway, even though I can't remember its exact words at the moment, the error kept saying that the greek motive controller couldn't find an object reference, and this error seems to happen instead of my sims going out to actually "get" the objects.  All in all, this mod actually only worked for me once, when Brandi Broke left the lot and returned with a television (which was pretty good anyway, considering that it was the Broke family).
I have absolutely no idea why this mod isn't working properly for me, because as far as I know this is the only mod that modifies the greek motive controller global.  If you manage to find this error and fix it anyway, thanX in advance.

Are you using the latest version? have you tried the conflict detection utility?

Hi Squinge - I was just wondering again as to the feasibility of having 'bring back' attached to an object so that it can be activated on individual lots instead of affecting the game on a global level?

Thanks so much for your mods; they make this game so much better!

I have already tried to do that but it doesn't work :)

I should have known you'd have looked at it already...oh, well!  Thanks for trying! :)

Have you tried the alternate version?
