Title: Customers no more cooking at shops New Version Available(5/21/06)
Post by: Squinge on April 06, 2006, 12:07:08 am
As requested:
This mod prevents all non employee sims from cooking at all lots/shops it also prevents visiting nannies from helping themselves to your sims fridge when they aren’t working.
5/21/06 The serve meal menus will now appear when clicking on a fridge while your shop is open.
 
This does not prevent owners from cooking.
 
noautonomouscooking.zip(prevents all sims from autonomously cooking always Liveable lots only)
Note: EP3 is required to use this mod.
This mod is compatible with FFS & GLS.

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.

When you say, "non-employee" sims, that doesn't include the owners, does it? Just trying to make sure...

Sorry about that I gave you the wrong answer no this doesn't stop owner sims just visiting sims/customers.

Which cooking mod? this stops visiting sims from cooking on shops/community lots.

Yes it does include the owners(if they aren't assigned as the waiter/waitress) because they would always clean up dishes when there was already an employee assigned to do that job but you can still tell them to clean up the dishes.


This answer is very confusing, we are in the stop cooking mod post and you are talking about owners cleaning up the dishes?

Could you please answer again since I also wonder if this mod will stop the owner of the business to autonomously cook too.

I thought I was in the no washing dishes thread when I typed that.
This one only prevents customer/visiting sims from cooking.

I found a bug in my game, I can't operate my restaurent after I use this hack.

At first, this hack seemed no problemto me. However, after I asked one of my employee to make cakes ( since I operate a cake shop and a restaurant in the same place ), she lost control and make cakes eternally, noone can stop her. I tried to make her selectable by InSIMenator, but she's still keep baking cakes. At last, I deleted her, but another problem comes.

I was unable to clean the table and the oven in the kitchen, I can cook nothing, I can't use my refrigerator and the oven, they became unselectable.
Dirts and wastes were all unable to throw away...Oh god...

I tried to remove different hacks from the game, when I remove this hack, the problem solved. Anyone know what's wrong with me?

That is strange this doesn't change anything on the part of employees & it has nothing to do with cleaning just cooking.
 
edit: you may have something else that is conflicting with this
have you downloaded anything off the exchange like houses? sometimes they install hacks without you knowing.


Title: Customers no more cooking at shops New Version Available(5/21/06)
Post by: leroy on April 10, 2006, 02:21:30 pm
Oh, yeah, I have got many houses, but I've check my downloads folder by the Sims2Pack Clean Installer, and those red colour hacks are all downloaded by myself. No other suspicious hacks are found

Oh, yeah
Are you using any assign job to hacks? or any other person global hacks they would cause loosing controll of a sim but this hack wouldn't.
 
edit:This hack only changes the function "Test - Check Lot & Person Types" for fridges it doesn't do anything for people or food.


Title: Customers no more cooking at shops New Version Available(5/21/06)
Post by: MissDoh on April 10, 2006, 03:35:21 pm
Best way to check if it is that mod that is causing this is too remove all your other hacks and see if the problem is still there.  If not it is something that is conflicting with it.


Title: Customers no more cooking at shops New Version Available(5/21/06)
Post by: leroy on April 11, 2006, 02:34:44 am
After I removed all hacks that shown red in colour in the Sims2Pack Clean Installer, the problem still existed. I think I better don't use this hack again. This maybe the final solution... Yeah, but I really love this hack, I always want my game more realistic :(
 
edit:Yeah, you have gave me this link yesterday
 
I have tried it a hundred times, but no error has been found!

The only thing I can tell you is that townie Sims on regular community lot were ordering food normally, in fact they were ordering too much to my taste but that is another story.

Sorry, I cannot help you found out yet since I am at setting up a new MATY hood. :)   I just love those selfSim (you can download Sim Missdoh over at moreawesomethanyou if you wish, all selfsim are in the Peasantry section under made-up animals, we love JM humour :) )


Title: Customers no more cooking at shops New Version Available(5/21/06)
Post by: toriamos on April 12, 2006, 10:34:29 pm
I have the same kind of problem that leroy has the shop owner cannot cook on the community lot, but the customers are being served. I have a hired cook and the place also has a bakery. Before this hack the owner could make cakes, etc. while the hired cook was cooking for the customers. No biggie I can just lock the door to the kitchen.  Therefore not customers can get into the kitchen.

toriamos did you install the new version of the hack and it still does that?

I never thought of doing that way that will also work, but one other thing this fixes is visiting nannies from helping themself to lobster on your home lots.

Ok, I tested it once again, in Family Fun Pack, and I think it works properly

I tried the TV changing channel hack again, but this time I downloaded the version that allow sims to turn off their TV, and it seems so far so good..

I've been playing with the no autonomous cooking but it doesn't seem to be stopping them from cooking. I've had sims that still decide to cook. I ran the conflict detector and nothing seems to be conflicting. I will do more testing and see if there is something else going on. Just wanted to point that out in case someone else out there was having a problem too.

Post by: Ms.Perception on April 30, 2006, 02:35:52 am
No. It was a regular Maxis fridge. I'm still messing around in the game, trying to see if its just this one family or not. I'll be back in a few and let you know what I found out.

*I've tried it out in a couple of different families with regular Maxis fridges and they still seem to be able to autonomously cook.

I figured out what happened for some reason simpe didn't save the file correctly, I just posted a fixed version & it works in my game I have this one sim who was very hungry & he didn't try to eat once.

no you weren't it happened to me to when I tried it, I was supprised because I knew the shop version worked & thats the one I changed to make this other version.:)
 
edit: One thing I did learn is when a sim gets hungry enough they can still stuff their face with this mod installed.

I don't care if my sims cook when they are hungry but it is really getting on my nerves when the Servo automatically cooks every few hours, even when no one is hungery! So I was wondering if there could be a hack that will only prevent the servos from autonomously cooking? If it is to much trouble I can just use the noautonomous hack, I will just have to make sure I don't forget to feed the sims. :)

And Squinge I also wanted to thank you for all your hard work on these hacks, I don't use all of them, but I can see how all would be useful to someone, and you have many MANY that I use...So THANKS!! :)

Did you know that this mod does not effect the Servos at all? They will still cook autonomously. Other sims won't but Servos will.

That is becuase the game thinks you are telling servo's to cook but if you download my Servo's no autonomous chores (http://www.insimenator.org/showthread.php?t=7606) mod they won't cook anymore unless you tell them to :)

Sims are lining up in the restaurant kitchen of one of my downtown lots trying to cook their own meals, LOL.  Could you please make this mod stop visiting Sims from cooking on downtown lots, too?  Actually, I was thinking it would be cool if there was a version of the mod that stops ALL Sims from cooking autonomously ANYWHERE, EXCEPT if they are restaurant employees.  So nobody can cook at home unless I tell them to, and Sims will still be able to eat out at restaurants yet not be able to try to cook their own meals there. :lol: Is this possible?
