University - Less or NO roommates spawning meals
🕑 Added 2019-11-18 18:57:21 +0000 UTCI was.... too trustful about it... I thought they did this when hungry but no... is just a quirky, annoying, autonomy Maxis put in, random as always, associated with the roommate archetype foodies and other sims get.
It's a commodity, meaning that after some time, the roommate in question feels compelled to spawn a group meal. So....... One version of this mod aims do double that time before they do, while the other one just removes this shit.
Updated to also stop the wannabe winners of Bake off.... there is another autonomy that makes them spawn meals when they or the other roommates are hungry, I'd rather not turn that off, 'cause roommates cannot cook and can only grab quick meals.
Updated: added appropriate food. Now, the roommates bringing food are all foodie or glutton, that's why they spawn gourmet food. Someone asked me if the food could be made more appropriate and here it is... this changes the food to pizza and hamburger etc. These are the interactions I don't want to turn off because of the restrictions Maxis put on cooking in dorms, but at least they'll bring more adeguate food.
Updated: Appropriate -> added more food (City Living cultural food) and Baking Products to the food roommates can bring home., Merged with the "less" version. They can't be used together anymore, but I'll be using the appropriate food version in my game so it's most likely the one that will get more changes/updates

Is there a mod that has the roomies putting the meals on an actual table (I built a kitchen that they just stand around in and then magically, a roast chicken appears. and they leave and it's on the balcony. Why???)?

I'm not experiencing the same with this mod in my game though.
Hi Zero - I think I possibly discovered a quirk with the Appropriate Food mod. Last night, I installed it with the intention of sending some of my sims to uni. Prior to that though, they were still living at home. One of them got hungry so I had them eat some leftover food from the fridge. After my sim finished the plate, he immediately got up to grab another serving. Finished that one, then grabbed another. Eventually, the other sim got hungry and they were now both polishing off the 8 serving plate of food I had in the fridge. They just wouldn't stop eating! Even after I canceled out the action, it queued right back up. I tested this with another household on a different save and had the same issue. After repairing my game and removing the mod, they stopped exhibiting that behavior. It was the only new thing I added to my Mods folder.

That's driving me crazy too... Just wait for the braking point.
this mod literally saved my game, thank you! i was wondering if it would be possible to make a similar mod that stops random decor items from spawning in the dorms as well?

May be the interaction based on other Sims desire to eat. How many did they spawn and how many sims do you have in your dorm that spawn meals? (Only one archetype of roommates does it, but you can have more than one sim of the same archetype in the dorm)

I downloaded de No meal mod but they still spawn meals at the balcony :(
Zero_
Yeah, but I need to find the objects definitions of the meals, not sure where to find them. I'll look around

Just wondering if there's a way to make them spawn more college appropriate meals? Like Pizza for example? I have the Less meal spawn module but seeing them spawn Lobster and stuff doesn't seem apt for college cant cook in most cases YA.

Yup, that's the baking one. I saw that in the code but didn't experience it first hand so I let that be in the hope it wasn't crazy like the other one... I still have trust unfortunately.
So I got the one that entirely keeps them from spawning meals... but now they're spawning cake or cookies. Not as often thankfully but they do and it's annoying... If you'd take a look at that I'd be grateful!
THANK YOU. I was going crazy having to clean up all of the freaking meals and it was just neverending!

https://littlemssam.tumblr.com/post/189154109868/choose-your-roommate-finally-my-sim-can-go-to-uni here, it's a bit a chore to set them as roommates right now, but I bet LMS will find a way to enroll them without having to load the household.
Thank you so much. Your mods help a lot in the game. Do you think it's possible to make a mod that we can choose the npc sims we know to be our college roommates instead of the ramdom npcs the game creates. I have tried to add my friends to my family and enroll them to college, but as soon as i removed them from my family they just left. Its so frustrated. thank you, hope you can see this.

i'll look into it.

Hi! I'm literally amazed by your mods and how they change this damn game! Would you be able to make a mod to stop roommates randomly play musical instruments? It's so annoying having to hear horrible melodies being played and the moodlets they give make sims feel tense all the time.

this one was really easy, this kind of things usually rely on buffs. in fact, it's an autonomy buff with a commodity associated very similar to the system I used for my private mod.
For real how do you pump out these mods each day

as much as the random mess counch potato and party planner do... I may end up nuking that too.

Thanks so much. It is so annoying. If it's not bad enough, the food always spawns outside on the balcony. Two or three plates at once too.
