Title: EP3 required:no bar abuse New Version Available(6/16/06)
Post by: Squinge on March 25, 2006, 02:10:13 pm
As requested:
This mod prevents all sims from autonomously using all bars at home
but they can still autonomously order drinks on community lots/shops.
This mod is compatible with FFS & GLS.
4/23/06 New Version 1.0a I added one drink test that I missed.
6/16/06 Updated for new EP3/FFS patch.
**Note: this mod does not prevent sims from drinking drinks that are already prepared**

As long as a shop is open & you have a bartender then can autonomously order drinks .

I just found this! I downloaded an awesome outdoor set with a bar that matches. My family spent the next three days, (five family members) doing nothing but standing around drinking. I finally had to delete the bar set. Now I can put it back!! Thanks so much for this.

Don't know why, but this doesn't work for me. My sims still use bar at home.

If could help, I can post the complete list of my installed hacks.

Do you have a home business at the lot where they are still using the bars?

No, this is happened into an only residential lot, without home business.

Is it with custom hacked bars or the maxis made bars? If it's with the maxis bars is it only one of the bars or all of them?

No custom bars, only Maxis' ones. Normally the cheap, sometimes the third going up.
Do not used others.

Squinge, this hack hasnt worked for me either, I use a custom bar from mts2 and when I had ofb it didnt work and it doesnt work now having the family fun pack either, they always want to go to that bar even tho I have this hack in there.

This won't work with custom bars it's a global override, I also have family fun pack I will retest this & see if it still works for me but I did notice that I can't buy maternity clothing anymore since installing ffs.

When I tried this hack (the older version) before patching my game, I seem to remember it worked.  But since the OFB patch and this newer hack version, I'm not seeing any difference at all -- my Sims are all still totally addicted to the bars. Maxis ones, not hacked or custom ones.  It's beyond stupid to me how the testers at Maxis missed this!  OFB literally obliterated the fun of having a bar in your home. :(

I also have the path installed & it works for me, have you tried the sims 2 hack conflict detection utility? (http://www.simwardrobe.com) to check for a possible conflict, also is the problem on business lots only ? because it doesn't affect lots that have a business including home lots.

Post by: maxiquin on June 07, 2006, 09:23:49 pm
The problem is on home lots without businesses, and I'm going to check for a conflict between this hack and Pescados' coffeecup hack-- I'll get back to you.  Btw, this new version doesn't require FF installed, does it?

Okay. I just ran a scan, and found that I had some problems with other non-related hacks in my game -- removed those, then checked again, and no conflicts were detected between this hack and the coffeecup hack.  Now I'll load my game and see if the problem is resolved. I'll get back to you!

I don't know if my question is related at all to this hack but...  Are sims not allowed to pour themselves a drink at a community lot?  I've got the "home" bar instead of the regular community bar that comes with a bartender in Maple Springs Pools & Spa downtown.  But when I click on it, all I get is juggle tumblers.  Is that normal?

I believe sims are only allowed to order a drink & work as the bartender on community lots.

You are right Squinge.

Only business community lots are different depending if it is the owner of the lot or a visiting sim.

Okay, good, nothing wrong with my game then.  I think I'll replace it with a bartender one.  Thank you.
As for this mod, it's working great in my game.  I haven't noticed anyone loitering around the bar at home.  And I still see them ordering drinks at a community lot.  Thanks again.

Post by: maxiquin on June 08, 2006, 04:33:50 pm
Well, I've re-tested, both with and without the coffeecup hack, and I'm still not seeing any improvement over the bar addiction that we got with OFB.  I have no hacked bars, have tried different types of regular home bars, and all my Sims are still flocking to the bar when drinks are available, and will stand there and drink until their bladders are bursting. This is on home lots with no businesses. Next test: I could try it in a totally clean game, see how it goes.

If drinks are available that is normal this mod just prevents sims from making drinks, if drinks are already made sims can still drink them :)

 Okay, then I never really understood what this hack was supposed to do, hehe!  Sorry, Squinge  -- I was looking for a hack that would revert the bars back to how they were before OFB messed them up. :\
I remember, once upon a time, how nice it was for a Sim expecting guests to have a few drinks prepared in advance -- but of course that's no longer an option, because the guests will do nothing else but drink, drink, drink -- and the host, too!

Since OFB, sims are obsessed by the bar they have on their residential lot meaning every chance they have they will make a drink for themselves or juggle with the bottles all the time.

This mod stops them from doing that, it only affects bars on residential lot.

Post by: maxiquin on June 13, 2006, 03:33:11 pm
Yup.  Since OFB, There seem to be way too many objects with a ridiculously high attraction level -- the juggling of espresso/coffee cups drives me nuts, too.  I'm hoping the 2nd OFB patch will fix some of this nonsense.

Would this hack conflict with the home bartender hack,or the DMA NPC Bartenders?Or not even affect them?

I would download this mod install it & run the hack conflict utility (http://www.simwardrobe.com) to check I'm not sure if it does or not.
