Title: Monique's Child Support for Apartment Life
Post by: ancienthighway on September 04, 2008, 03:57:45 pm
Updated to work with Apartment Life

Moniques orginal mod is on MTS2 (http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=163933) and works fine with EPs up to Free Time.  Apartment Life added the new living location, Apartments which needed to be added to this mod.

Quote
This is a separate controller that will work behind your game and it wont conlicts with other hacks.
Someone requested something like this from this thread:
http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=162641

Support Amount (default):
pregnant $200 (until not giving birth) x 3 = 600 approx. (no support if you're playing Supporter's house)
baby $200 (Mon,Wed,Fri and Sun) x 4 = 800/week
toddler $200 (Tue,Thu and Sat) x 3 = 600/week
child $200 (Wed and Fri) x 2 = 400/week
teen $200 (Thu) x 1 = 200/week

The default support amount can be changed in BCONs.
0x00 - pregnant
0x01 - baby
0x02 - toddler
0x03 - child
0x04 - teen

Note:
The transfer of "support amount" from Supporter to Dependent is actual.
It will subtract from Supporter's family fund and it will add to Dependent's family fund.


UPLOADED: v1.0
- Dead sim can be a Supporter...
Because RealHogsFan said "paying after they die is like receiving a check from SSI until you are an adult for the death of your parents".

UPDATED: v2.0
- Fixed Dead sim issue which was reported by Ancient Sim.
- Inserted "Sim A has met Sim B?" suggested by Syberspunk. Supporter will no longer give support to a dependent that s/he has never met.

UPDATED: v3.0
Added this routine:
If the Supporter cant support any longer, Dependent will still receive the amount from "nowhere" and the controller will open a credit accounts (hidden from us) that will keep track of "behind" payments then when you play the Supporter's house this controller will add amount to your bills (Tuesday bills only) and subtract that amount from your credit accounts until your credit accounts is zero balance. The amount is less than or equal to $10,000 because I doubt that bills can handle more than $32,767, so if you have a credit account of $15,000, $10,000 will be added this week then $5,000 next week.

Added the ff. in Sim Pie Menus:
for Dependent,
- Child Support is ON/OFF - allows you turn on/off child support except pregnant adult. Default is ON.

for Supporter,
- Child Support.../"Behind" Payments - allows you to view the current total "Behind" Payments.
- Child Support.../Pay..$__ - allows you to pay "Behind" Payments in case that if you cant wait Tuesday bills.

UPLOADED: v3.A
- It is the same as v3.0 except that I removed "Sim A has met Sim B?"


EDITED: 10/22/2006
- PETS compatible


Pls choose only one version.

Sorry no screenshots
UPDATED: v3.B
- v3.0 updated for Apartment Life.  v1.0, 2.0, and 3.A are available on MTS2 and have not been converted for AL.

All 3 file in the .rar are needed.

Download available on my site.

Updated the thread to mention that AH updated the child support mod at his site, Ancient Castaways (http://www.ancienthighway.net/cs/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=42), to fix a couple of bugs in the child support mod he did based off Monique's original child support mod.

Download the newer version there until AH comes around to update his OP.

Hi Guys,

I like to use this mod but either I do not understand how it works or it does not work in my SIM2 (maybe conflict with other mod)

After have it installed were should the pie menu show up? Clicking on the mother, the child or should I found a specific buyable object?

Thanks

The options should appear under /Adjust... when clicking on the Sim. BUT this particular mod isn't supported anymore.

Try Ancient Highway's updated version of Monique's Child Support mod through the link I provided a couple posts ago.

Notice the date of the LAST post? It's been months. The current site hosting the updated version of MQ's Child Support mod is:

Forgive me if I am out of line for posting here...Does Ancient Highway have a new website?  For the last 2 weeks I have been trying to get his update for Monique's Child Support and I get an error message that tells me it cannot connect to the data base.  At first I thought it was my computer, but I get the same error no matter where I try to connect.  I may have posted this question elsewhere on the site but I can't find it so forgive if I've double-posted.  Any assistance is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

AH's site is closed, so I think the question is whether his stuff is located elsewhere now. (It's not yet on Sims2Graveyard.) I've been looking for some things of his from AL recently as well.
