Seasons - Autonomous Swing set Only for Children
🕑 Added 2019-10-02 08:04:02 +0000 UTCThis mod has a story.
Every time I put a swing set in a park, all the adults take control of it and children never get to use it. I tried to remove the autonomy but I was not happy, and as soon as I activated it again all the adults made a run for the swing set... I wanted to keep the autonomy for children but remove it for adults, so I came up with a solution....
And I'm going to tell you exactly what I did, because it's ridiculously easy to do:
The xml I wanted to edit is the SwingSet_SoloSwing
I needed to add into it a test to tell the game that the autonomy was allowed only for children, so I added this:
Right before the global test. This tells the game that Sims with the traits listed are not allowed to pick that interaction autonomously. I got the test from the Play_In_Trash_Pile interaction and edited it to suit my needs. You can do the same thing for other interactions in the game (for example, I added the same traits to the blacklist on the Play_In_Trash_Pile interaction too in the mod I did for myself). I also compared the XML to the one for the Jungle gym to see why the children were picking the Jungle Gym way more than the Swing Set, you can open up my mod and look at what I changed if you want to learn to do it yourself.

Just wanted to note: the reason this happens is because pet owners have a Static Commodity that tells them "play with outdoor children's objects". SwingSet_SoloSwing fulfills that, and so the pet owner will decide to use the swings instead of other objects available for adults. If you could leave a "Me Too" and a comment here I would appreciate it! https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/NEEDS-INPUT-CD-IL-S-Pet-Owners-Hog-Swing-Sets/m-p/8999122#M129142

I've been searching for the same information for some time... the official documentation may contain a description of the elements... I gave a look into it but didn't really find what I was looking for, you may try though.

Hey Zero, I'm starting to work around on mods with the Sims 4, and Ive been a long time addon author for WoW, and I appreciate your openess here. I was wondering if there is any description of the what xml element values are (E, L, V, T, U)?

I think im the only one that loves their sim on the swing lol. Did you know sims can become motion sick on them? Very random if it happens but they will get stomach gurgles and immediately throw up. Mostly see it on pregnant sims but can see others do it too.

I think using blender or making a texture from scratch is a lot harder than this, and most CC creators make tutorials on how they do things, so why not?

I love that you actually show people what you do in S4S because it helps other modders with their mods as well. I wish more people would teach along with offering mods. Thank you for doing this!
