In Testing:college Interactions on any lot new version available(4/14/06)

[Squinge]

As requested:
This mod allows young adults to do research, assignments, write term papers, and hack grades on any lot.

Note: EP1 & EP2 or greater is required to use this mod.
 This mod is compatible with FFS & GLS.
This will most likely conflict with my nopartyassignment mod.
 
You should create a test neighborhood if you don't already have one before trying this hack just to be safe until it's out of testing.
 
4/14/06 New: Version 1b added choose major.
Only download one file.

What does that do?

Stops YAs from doing assisgnments during a party!  Now that's serious dedication! lol!  I don't know any college students who do that!  Too bad they'll conflict.  They're both good.

Have you tried these to hack together yet?

No, I don't have syberspunk's mod, but I can get it and test them together in a clean, vanilla game if you like.  I've got something do take care of something right now, that'll keep me busy for an hour or so, but then I'd be happy to give these two a whirl togther after that, and see what happens.  Stay tuned......

EDIT: I can't find Syberspunk's nopartyassignment mod, so I can't test it with this one at this time.  If syberspunk's around and can point me in teh right direction, I'll still be happy to test them together.

Heh. That's probably because the name of the thread isn't exactly the name of the mod.

You can find it on MATY or MTS2. I titled the thread differently in order to be more descriptive, but I used a simpler name for the mod because of it's initial intention and because I didn't want the name of the actual mod to be extremely long.

I personally haven't tested them myself but it is obviously they will conflict, especially since I modified the same Test BHAV for college assignments. I explain in great detail what my mod does, so you can read about it if you like. I also include all that info in the RTFM.

As for the conflict, well it really is only a minor one. But I thought I would mention it anyways. If you use my mod AND this one, you just won't get the expected results. Most likely, especially for WinXP users, my mod would take precendence. As a result, all the other college interactions should work, but your YAs won't be able to do college assignments on non-college lots with my mod in place. It's not a huge thing, but users who happened to have both mods might suddenly wonder why your mod wasn't working as far as college assignments go.

And FYI, there is a separate Test BHAV for the actual college assignment objects themselves. The one that you modified allows sims to automagically pull assignments out of their asses to start them. But there is a separate test that lets them interact with existing assignments that haven't been finished yet. The one for the pie menu when you click on an assignment itself. I don't remember if this checks the lot type, but I have changed that as well in my mod.

Thanks Syberspunk.  No need for me to test then, your post gives a thorough explanation of what to expect (or NOT expect! lol!).

Love your work, and have most of your stuff.  Am surprised I missed that one.

I am however, gonna run with Squinge's mod, as I'm the one who requested it.  I need it for the way I manipulate.....um.....I mean the way I play the game :tongue5:

Thanks again for following up.  

(I was relieved to see MATY back online)

Peace,

Very cool!!

Just wondering... Does your sims still needs to be a secret society member in order to hack grades?

Probably.  But that could be messing with fire doing that on a home lot while you're controlling the YA.  Remember hacking grades comes with all those security warning messages and a visit from the cops if you fail.  Dunno if the game can handle that kinda manipulation; we're already making it do something that it isn't designed to do.  Careful, you don't want your game to explode!

However, I do have a clean game with test neighbourhoods in it.  SO let me check out this feature and report back.

Does your sims still needs to be a secret society member in order to hack grades?

Yes unless you are using another hack that allows any sim to hack grades, & I would wait for the test results before trying that on a non test neighborhood just to be safe.

Squinge, I love you!!!!!!!!!!
