When my sim is wearing the thinking cap and is supposed to serve (cook) food he takes it off before taking out the tray from the fridge. I always let the sims with lower cooking skill wear the tc to boost the speed they gain skill from cooking.
Squinge, would it be possible to make the same (no auto turn on / off) for TV? and NO AUTO CHANGE CHANNEL. I hate it when they are supposed to learn cooking but watch soccer.
There's a hack from Monique (MTS2) around to make homework fun and only have homework sometimes, so the 'fun' part is definitely possible.
Thanks a LOT for this. I had a situation where frustrated sims didn't teach their kids to do homework (study) because of their frustration. I'll check this out right now.
