Much appreciated!  Thank you!  Kiss, kiss, kiss!

I really wanted this fix because I can't remember the last time I went out on a date at a restaurant, and while my date was trying to talk to me, I collected all the dirty dishes from the surrounding tables and headed for the kitchen sink.  

I know that they're only Sims - but sometimes, just sometimes, it nice to have a touch of realism in the game.

Is this only for OWNERS of businesses and not all Sims?

No it stops all sims unless its an employee who is supposed to do dishes.

I ve installed 4 of your new hacks yesterday including this one
When my sims came to his business lot and got out  - I had to reset him every 4 sec because there are an error message blocked my game - Stack object is out of range.

When I deleted this hack and "no more screaming at locked doors" - it comes OK now.

What could be a conflict or so?

Where you playing with testing cheats on? if so in "my documents\ea games\the sims 2\logs" there will be a filename begining with ObjectError????.txt it should be the newest file if you could attach it to your reply I could figure out what the cause may be.
 
edit: If you used no more screaming at locked doors & you have Objects-no-route-fail-anim.package they will conflict.

Just to make sure.  Would it stop my Sim from cleaning the dishes if I would send it on a downtown restaurant community lot which is not owned by it or any other Sim?

Or does it apply on own community lot and only apply to the Sims that owns it and its employee while the owner is there?

Yes that other file does conflict it works with ep3 & does the same thing(a different way) but the tree version for that one is older than the tree version from EP3.

Humm does anyone know?

And if it does not do that right now, would it be possible to make one that will apply on unowned community lots but not at their home.  Thanks

Thank you Squinge for updating this hack.

I'm wondering if the 'noautonomousdishesAllLots.zip(never cleanup dishes)' will prevent my sims to autonomously clean dishes when they're at home. :smt120

However, if so, I still prefer having to tell them to clean dishes at home, rather to be unable to stop them from doing the dishes when they're in a restaurant. :mrgreen:

The all lots version prevents autonomous cleaning up dishes on every lot all the time :)

Hi Squinge, My Sims are still cleaning up dishes in restaurants. I have all the EPs.  Can you do one for no dishes in restaurants, but they'd still do whatever they'd do at home?

Did you add the chance to look it this old April request I did?

What I would like is that Sims cannot clean dishes on any community lot type weither it is own or not but still can when I play residential lot.


Title: New Alternate Version Available(7/02/06)
Post by: Squinge on July 02, 2006, 09:39:51 pm
I just posted a new alternate version that prevents sims from autonomously do dishes at community lots & shops.


Title: EP3 Required: no autonomous washing dishes New Version Available(7/02/06)
Post by: MissDoh on July 02, 2006, 09:48:11 pm
Just want to add that the alternate version does not stop sim from autonomously cleaning dishes on residential lot.

It will though prevent them from taking over the waiter (server) job on any community lot (meaning they won't clean the dirty plates, the waiter will do it) or if they do a bbq on a community lot they won't run to clean up the dishes unless you direct them too.

Hoorray for this version, I personally love it. :)

this mod works great in OFB but it does not work in NL.  I had to remove inge " nocommunity plateclearing"  because it was not compatable with OFB, so my sims were cleaning plates again in NL downtown lots.
 So, I installed yours instead hoping the plate clearing in NL would stop, now with yours they are not cleaning plates in NL not even the servers,  when my lady was seated there was a plate on the table but when the waitress brought her meal out, the dirty plate disappeared.
but this was not the worse part, the man that she was dining with completely disappeared off the lot, she had to order him dinner anyhow and then she got in her car and would not leave the lot because she was waiting for him, so I had to leave the lot without saving.  

  I wish that people making new hacks would check them out in all ep's, because some are compatable with OFB but not in NL, making it completly unplayable.   thanks

this is not a criticism because I had many of your hacks that worked great with ep1, college and NL but not with OFB.

As it states VERY CLEARLY in the first post EP3 is REQUIRED to use this mod. It is your responsibility to read the descriptions before using to make sure they work with your game. If you choose to use a mod that is not compatible that is your problem, not Squinge's.


Title: EP3 Required: no autonomous washing dishes New Version Available(7/02/06)
Post by: shortgal on August 07, 2006, 03:27:46 pm
I have all the eps thank you, but this hack does not work when I go to a downtown NL lot.  I am not a complete idiot.  I would not download something for OFB  if I did not have it.  

It only works in my OFB lot.

Post by: Ozzucay on August 07, 2006, 03:35:06 pm
Then you must have checked for mod conflicts. Perhaps you could tell me which version you downloaded?
 
*edit*
Perhaps any misunderstandings would have been avoided had you stated specifically you had EP3 installed. As it was, your statement of the problem did not make sense, since it was not clear that you were using EP3. If you have EP3 installed there is no reason to believe that what works on an EP3 community lot would not work on an EP2 community lot when EP3 is installed.

Post by: shortgal on August 09, 2006, 02:01:56 pm
I apologize,  I did not make it clear.

 I was using the wrong version as was pointed out to me by Miss Doh, now I have the new alt version and it is working on all lots, so now I can take my dates to a restaurant and they are not cleaning up the plates.   Thanks.

I had an earlier version of this hack but removed it for some reason and forgot about it (wasn't really playing much or going to any community lots) but lately it's been driving me nuts that my sims keep trying to clean up the damn dishes when they go out on the town so on searching my hack folders (not the ones in my downloads folder) I found the older version and decided to check incase there was an updated version and I am so very happy to find the alt ver!

Is this Pets compatable?  It  doesn't work at all in my game.  I ran the Hack Conflict Utility and it doesn't conflict with any of my installed hacks.


Title: EP3 Required: no autonomous washing dishes New Version Available(7/02/06)
Post by: Squinge on January 10, 2007, 11:09:52 am
Yes it is compatible with pets, which version did you download?


Title: EP3 Required: no autonomous washing dishes New Version Available(7/02/06)
Post by: MissDoh on January 10, 2007, 12:34:19 pm
I can confirm it is pet compatible, I am using the alternate with pets and it still works fine for me.

I, too, was using the one with Altver but it doesn't work.  The sims still keep cleaning up the dishes on community lots.  I deleted your hack and installed a similar hack from MTS2 by Black Widow and that one works fine.  I'll just use that one.

Hello!

Am I blind, or is there no newer version of this hack? I can't find it in the AL list.

Also, does it prevent plate-clearing on comm lots, or just plate-washing?

Thankyou.

This mod is compatible with AL & the alternate version prevents cleaning plates on community lots.
