It was rather easy to find the & change the code, the hardest part was getting it not to ask every 2 seconds should i go home.

If you have NL, when a sim clicks on the car there's an option to go for a spin.  THe sim then hops in the car and goes for a drive.  However, the Maxis default only keeps them off the lot for an hour.  THis handy little mod will let you get rid of them fo as long as you want.  So, those naughty romance sims can get up to all sorts of things while their partner is runing errands :wink:

Unfortunately only one person can go for a spin at a time (as far as I can figure out), but most of my houses have two vehicles, so if I need to say, get rid of two parents, I'll just have them each take a car.

I had a side effect. I'm using also another hack (if I remember well it's by TwoJeff) that allow me to choose how many and which sim I can "add" to a car-owner's journey (to job or to community lots).
Well, before I had a message that asks me "Will  thenameofsim go already with -> yes/no?"
and now, with your hack, this message is replaced by your "must I return home now?".
Strange, uh?

(Clicking on Yes or No as answer has the same result as before, of course).

That is probably because I had to include the dialog text & add new text to it and I’m sure the other hack also includes the dialog text.

Yes, I found  it. It's the "ownablecarpoolcommlotfix" by Syberspunk and it calls a dialog box text.
I can't attache the hack but I think I can attache the included readme text.

Using the HackChecker, no conflicts revealed.

Do you have a link to that hack? if not where did you download it from?

Title: Seems to work right
Post by: IcemanTO on April 15, 2006, 11:15:36 am
Sorry, no time to do extensive tests, but now the dialog text seems right for both fixes, yours and from syberspunk.


Title: New Version Available
Post by: Squinge on April 15, 2006, 05:34:11 pm
4/15/06 added an alternate version that ask you every 4 hours instead of every 2 hours.

Will this work with Nightlife (without OfB)?

Post by: J. M. Pescado on April 27, 2006, 04:56:43 am
Why not just not have an obnoxious dialog at all, and have it just keep going until you X it out or your sim has to return due to low motives?

Question about new ver.  What happens if you forget to bring the sims home and save the game and quit or the hunger and energy is in the red?

You shouldn't be able to save while they are cruising because the game disables it; I believe the motives stay high but I will do a test by having a sim cruise for a day or two & get back to you:)

Thanks Squinge. I couldn't believe sims only cruised for an hour! Now I can have those pesky sims out of the house for a "few" hours. ;)

Thanks Squinge.
Your welcome, to have a sim come home you have to tell them to do something else like "go here" for some reason it doesn't pick up on cancel.
