DESCRIPTION: When you influence a sim to make a meal, the target will actually make something and not just pull out instant meals.

Unlike my version posted for Seasons, this one actually *ahem* works.

KNOWN ISSUES: If you influence someone with cooking skill <3 at suppertime in a place with no stove, nothing happens (if running in debug mode you get an error). This is because instant meal is the only option and by excluding them the game gets confused. I'm too lazy to fix it so don't do that.

DESCRIPTION: This mod lowers the priority of the "move" command directed at sims blocking chairs from being scooted out. The move command will now clear autonomous actions but not mess with user-directed commands. Among other things, this allows sims to "wait for food" without messing up meal service.

LAST UPDATE: April 6, 2008

REQUIRED EPs: None

COMPATIBLE EPs: All configurations from the base game through Apartment Life.

DESCRIPTION: Sims pick up more dishes when clearing the table.

DESCRIPTION: Prevents kids from autonomously playing with politics and law podiums. Player can still direct kids to do so if the sound of children burping into microphones is desired.

LAST UPDATE: April 2, 2007

REQUIRED EPs: None (even though this affects the law podium, it doesn't require Seasons)

COMPATIBLE EPs: All configurations from the base game through Apartment Life.

DESCRIPTION: Prevents kids from constantly pestering their parents to be read to. Player can still give the order directly.

LAST UPDATE: April 1, 2008

REQUIRED EPs: None

COMPATIBLE EPs: All configurations from the base game through Apartment Life.

DESCRIPTION: Fixes the bug where toddlers keep the learning bonus from smart milk after the milk wears off. Won't help already-stuck sims. Either wait for them to outgrow it (I believe it resets when they turn teen) or use Pescado's Lot Debugger.

LAST UPDATE: March 29, 2008

REQUIRED EPs: None

COMPATIBLE EPs: All configurations from the base game through Apartment Life.

DESCRIPTION: Prevents failure when using the candy machine so that it is a valuable training tool (like other career rewards) rather than a useless conversation piece.

LAST UPDATE: March 30, 2008

REQUIRED EPs: None

COMPATIBLE EPs: All configurations from the base game through Apartment Life.

DESCRIPTION: Changes the teen lifespan from 15 days to 8 days. Won't affect existing teens, only new teens. When used with Semester Changes (or without University) this gives sims a more realistic lifespan.

You might also consider Faster Zits which scales acne to this shorter lifespan.

POSSIBLE CONFLICT: Although I can't confirm it, I have heard that all age mods conflict with Inteenimator. They throw off fertility calculations or something like that.

DESCRIPTION: I got tired of having to clear a football field sized space to allow people to work out in front of the TV so this makes stereo workouts just as effective as TV ones. Affects Maxis stereos in all EPs and SPs. Won't affect custom stereos.

LAST UPDATE: August 24, 2008

REQUIRED EPs: None

COMPATIBLE EPs: All configurations from the base game through Apartment Life.

DESCRIPTION: Prevents Family sims from standing at the curb and spending half an hour announcing to the world they are home from work.
