Title: Visitor enabled & autonomous baby changing table
Post by: Squinge on March 31, 2006, 02:46:58 pm
This mod allows all sim to use the baby changing table.

This mod is compatible with FFS.
 
4/2/06 v1.1 autonomouschangingtable I lowered the advertising because my sims wouldn't do anything else I had it set to high.
 
note: nobabyharassment.package conflicts with this but I don't know how serious the conflict is.

Only download one of the files below they are both enabled for all Sims.
autonomousbabychangingtablev1.1.zip (Sims will change babies autonomously)
visitorenabledbabychangingtable.zip(Sims won’t autonomously change babies)
 
I try to ensure that all of my mods are 100% bug free but sometimes a bug pops up that I wasn’t aware of; If you find a bug please send me a private message; I can usually fix it within a couple of minutes.

I hope that this hack ensures that the darn Nanny will actually use the changing table instead of dropping smelly diapers everywhere. Thank you for all of your hard work. I really appreciate it. You have reduced the "grr" factor for this game by 90% so far. :)

I downloaded the autonomous version and started playing. When a visitor changed a toddler's diaper I went to check what went wrong. The folder I extracted does indeed say "autonomousbabychangingtablev1[1].1" but the file inside says "visitorenabledbabychangingtable.package"

Thinking that you got the files backwards I then downloaded the visitor enabled one. That folder is named "visitorenabledbabychangingtable" but it also has the file "visitorenabledbabychangingtable.package" inside. Both package files are exactly the same size.

Is this correct? Or are visitors supposed to change autonomously with both versions? I was under the impression that one version allowed visitors to change but home sims would not do it autonomously and the other version allowed home sims to change autonomously but not visitors.

Both files have the same name I did that so people wouldn't use both versions together, one is autonomous & the other is non autonomous & both are visitor enabled :)

Thanks for clearing that up. So far I have only seen one diaper change. That was by a visitor changing a toddler that didn't even have a dirty diaper. That's no problem as visitors often do stupid things with toddlers anyway. I'll keep playing. So looking forward to the parents actually changing the diapers on their own. I like to play with little intervention of my own and mods like this are absolutely needed!

I have self a similar mod for making Sims believe that changing diapers is fun.
So far it is moderately used, sometimes they do it, sometimes not.
Will check your mod for comparison, but I suppose that Sims react to the signals that the baby sends. The baby is always declining in something so the actions are probably not stupid. I'm using your mod for making the baby selectable and I can see that its bladder is really "babyssh". :)

In my game they love changing diapers but it seems to vary by lot according to what fun objects the sims have :)

I can't seem to get any options for the change table, my cursor just greys out, have checked for conflicts etc, so don't know why that happens, and I have tried it on the maxis ones, no options at all. Yet all the other mods of yours I have are fine.

Are you using the no baby harassment mod or any other changing table mods ?

No I only have got this one in and trying it, visitor enabled change table, maybe I should take it out and try the autonomous one, then see if it will work for me.

It's worth a try, it's strange because there is nothing else that I'm aware of that conflicts with this mod :)

OK have swapped mods and all options appear to work now, so I'm happy, thanks for the help!!

Thanks for this one.  You mention the baby gender choice.  Is there one?  Because I am fed up with having to go back to the neighbourhood everytime I get the wrong gender.... Here's hoping!

no I had to remove it because of sims gender reverting back to default when they aged to child & there were problems with corrupt family trees.

Squinge,

I am still using the changing table with the higher advertising that you sent me. Just wanted you to know that I am very, very happy with the results, as I have been playing houses that are large and have many items for the sims to choose from (thus needing higher advertising on some items). I have had no instances of sims getting obsessed with diaper changing.

I'm starting a new batch of people fresh from college that will be starting their own families in small, cheap houses. It's good to know that I can revert to the download on this page if anyone becomes obsessed. In the meantime, I will keep in the one you gave me and hope that I can use it for all houses.

Thanks for such a great mod!

Squinge, just a quick note to say thank you for this mod.  I've been using it for some time, it works beautifully and is one of my TS2 Must Haves.

I keep looking at this mod cause I want it but it conflicts with the baby harrasment thing. But then again so do your visitor enabled cribs so I suppose I could give this a go and see if it destroys my game lol. I'll test it out tomorrow I suppose.

Could their also be a visitor enabled toddler toilet on the way? Those nannies would come in much more handy if that were the case.

thanks for this now hopefully visiting sims will change the baby when it poops rather than just dropping it on the floor or taking it to feed it

Is there a hack possible where they will put a baby back in its crib instead of dumping it on the floor

Hi Squinge! No claims. Just some notes that I noticed. The changing table interactions work well with toddlers but my Sims seem not to take babies seriously on diaper changing. Instead of changing a green smoked baby they feed it.
Another thing I noticed is that No Sim seems to be able to get a baby out of the crib and age it (they have to place the baby on the ground first before throwing it up to be a toddler, otherwise they hold it undefinitely). The Servo instead can do it (just walk in, take the baby and age it).
The Servo can do a lot with babies that is new. Anyone else noticed this?

I use the Servo as a perfect nanny (otherwise I kill it once powering it down don't keep them home :( ). Well, off-topic.

Sims will always feed a baby before changing its diaper since it is a more important need to fulfill.

Also, if a baby have low needs the sim won't be able to age it until they are fulfill.  You can try and use the birthday cake to age if nothing else works.  I usually bathe, feed, play and then put the baby to sleep, when it wakes up you should be able to age it using the cake with no problems.  

This is an old issue that have been discussed many times on many sites, there is no magical solution unfortunately. :(

As of why Servo can age them and not Sims, I have absolutely no idea.

I get extremely frustrated waiting for sims to autonomously age a baby to toddlerhood. :( I always wind up having to use the birthday cake or sometimes it's the next day before it happens! :lol: Since I won't have servos anymore I have no idea if they can grow up babies without all the annoyance or not.

I forgot to mention I don't have Servo either, I was just assuming they might be able too do that according to XPTL97 saying.  I did not try it myself.

Post by: XPTL297 on July 22, 2006, 03:36:08 am
Yep, I killed 4 of my 5 Servoes before I noticed that they are a perfect nanny.
I keep them full powered (have a energy paint self-made for this purpose).
As I stopped most of the interactions the Servo just make household works and Take Care of Babies.¨
My Servo is male and he enters the room, takes the baby and feed him when hungry, change diapers when they green smoked, bathe them when dirty,  cuddle them when social down like the nanny does and when at 18:00 of their last day, he just enter the room, pick up the baby, throws it on the air and age it.
So, everytime I have a new baby and the parents are relapse (most of the family Sims are elendig parents - they just wish another baby), I move this Servo always to a new baby home.
