Pets
No Auto Read to Me
Submitted by Cyjon on Tue, 2008-04-01 16:30DESCRIPTION: 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.
Smart Milk Fix
Submitted by Cyjon on Mon, 2008-03-31 15:49DESCRIPTION: 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.

No Auto Finger Wiggle
Submitted by Cyjon on Mon, 2008-03-31 15:46DESCRIPTION: Sims no longer will do the finger-wiggle game which inevitably ends in them getting hurt. Cats won't ask for it either. Sadistic players can still direct a sim to do it.
This also prevents cats from asking to be thrown in the air. Compliments twojeff's No Pet Obsession which prevents sims from autonomously throwing cats, but doesn't prevent the cats from asking for it.

No Candy Machine Failure
Submitted by Cyjon on Sun, 2008-03-30 15:59DESCRIPTION: 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.

8-Day Teens
Submitted by Cyjon on Tue, 2008-03-25 19:42DESCRIPTION: 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.
Better Stereo Workout
Submitted by Cyjon on Tue, 2008-03-25 19:24DESCRIPTION: 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.

No Return Home Animation
Submitted by Cyjon on Tue, 2008-03-25 19:12DESCRIPTION: Prevents Family sims from standing at the curb and spending half an hour announcing to the world they are home from work.

Fewer Dirty Jokes
Submitted by Cyjon on Mon, 2008-03-24 18:41DESCRIPTION: Only playful or outgoing sims will autonomously tell dirty jokes. Player can still direct sims to tell dirty jokes if the other social tests succeed (such as relationship score).
LAST UPDATE: March 22, 2008
KNOWN CONFLICTS: Social Sanity Fix by twojeffs at Simbology. His mod does basically the same thing but sets the personality limits higher and looks at a couple of other things.
REQUIRED EPs: None
Fewer Fires
Submitted by Cyjon on Mon, 2008-03-24 18:38DESCRIPTION: Creates a flat 1% chance of a fire when cooking, regardless of the difficulty of the food. Has the side effect that burning food (without starting a fire) is slightly more common.
