No Formal Piano
Submitted by Cyjon on Wed, 2008-11-05 13:00DESCRIPTION: Sims no longer change to formalwear when playing the piano or violin in The Zone.
There are two versions here. -Servo affects only servos (I just hate that rubber mask and it's the reason I wrote this mod) and non-servos will still change to formalwear. -Everyone prevents any sim from changing to formalwear when playing. Install only one.

No Auto Turn Off TV
Submitted by Cyjon on Wed, 2008-11-05 12:56DESCRIPTION: Prevents sims from turning off the TV autonomously.
There is actually code that is supposed to prevent sims from turning off TVs if people are watching but it doesn't seem to work so I finally just killed the action entirely.

Covers only Dance Together as other socials have been removed in favor of Social Sanity Fixes at Simbology.

No Move Out Reaction
Submitted by Cyjon on Sun, 2008-10-12 22:06DESCRIPTION: People no longer stomp their command queues to run over and wave goodbye to sims moving out. Should work for normal move outs, going to college, or graduating.
If you have my mod CJ-NoGraduateReaction, remove it in favor of this one. They don't conflict since this mod uses a different technique, but there is no reason to use the old one anymore.

More Abductions
Submitted by Cyjon on Mon, 2008-10-06 21:36DESCRIPTION: Makes abduction when stargazing 4x as likely.
Under the original abduction code it takes an average of 180 hours of stargazing to get abducted. With this mod that average is cut to 45.5 hours which is achievable if you really want it.
Don't use this mod if you have FreeTime since that EP already includes the ability to increase your abduction chances. "Search For Constellations" gives the same abduction chance as this mod and the other interactions (Planets, UFOs, Summon Aliens) give higher chances.
Outdoor Lights All Night
Submitted by Cyjon on Mon, 2008-10-06 21:27DESCRIPTION: Outdoor lights will stay on until 7 am rather than 2 am.

INCOMPATIBLE MODS: Doesn't work with Smarter Lights which is why I no longer use it.
No Random Calls
Submitted by Cyjon on Sun, 2008-09-28 21:42DESCRIPTION: Reduces the massive spam of incoming phone calls from random idiots who keep interrupting play.
I have broken this out into several packages. Download as desired depending on which calls you want to eliminate.
"Strangers" prevents people you barely know from calling just to chat. Works on both townies and downtownies.
"Contacts" stops calls from people you've never even met, who call just because you have a mutual friend.
No Finals Warning
Submitted by Cyjon on Mon, 2008-09-22 20:16DESCRIPTION: Suppresses the "finals in 5 hours" warning.
With my Semester Changes mod you know when the finals are - 9 am every other day. You don't need the warning.

Free Time LTW Fixes
Submitted by Cyjon on Mon, 2008-09-22 20:13DESCRIPTION: Changes some of the aspiration categories for lifetime wants that apply to the new careers in FreeTime.
The aspiration choices for the FreeTime careers were...odd. I changed them to categories that made more sense.
Architecture - Knowledge, Family
Dance - Popularity, Romance
Entertainment - Popularity, Wealth
Intelligence - Knowledge, Wealth (no change)
Oceanography - Knowledge, Wealth (no change)

Sponge Bath Fix
Submitted by Cyjon on Sat, 2008-09-06 09:08DESCRIPTION: Sims will autonomously take sponge baths only if there are no bathtubs or showers on the property. Player can direct sponge baths at any time.
Unlike previous versions, this one does not extend sponge baths to children. That aspect became broken with FreeTime and I couldn't figure out why so I abandoned it.
