what is a bcons

BCON is short for Behavior CONstant.  It's an integral part of the scripting language called Simantics which is used to create and design mods for the game.  BCON's are just tables of numbers which are referenced by behavior scripts (caleld BHAV's).

What is it you are trying to do?  Are you trying to write a mod?

(I am moving this to the modding forum, since this really falls into that domain).

no theres this mod called the child support mod on mts and the creater said that if anyone is trying to change the amount of money sim A gets from sim B for child support to change in BCONs:                           0x00 - pregnant
                                                   0x01 - baby
                                                   0x02 - toddler
                                                   0x03 - child
                                                   0x04 - teen

Just download a tool called SimPE from here:

http://sims.ambertation.de

Open the package file, and look for the BCON you want to edit.  You can view all the BCON's in a package by clicking on the BCON package filter on the left side of the screen.  When you find the entry you want to edit, just change the value, commit the change, then save.  Easy as pie!
