DESCRIPTION: 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.

DESCRIPTION: 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.

LAST UPDATE: September 20, 2008

REQUIRED EPs: University

COMPATIBLE EPs: All configurations from University through Apartment Life.

DESCRIPTION: 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.

LAST UPDATE: August 28, 2008

REQUIRED EPs: None

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

DESCRIPTION: Children can place items like homework on desks more successfully.

Does not fix the Country Desk from Seasons since it uses its own weird slots to keep people from reaching through the solid hutch on the back. Should work on all others desks including custom desks.

People still occasionally have trouble if the only access to the desk is on the diagonal but the behavior is inconsistent.

REQUIRED EPs: None

DESCRIPTION: Prevents those creepy Art professors from stalking your dorms.

DESCRIPTION: Fixes a bug that prevents players from getting plantsims unless they play the same lot without saving for several game days.

As you may know, you become a plantsim once you have sprayed crops more than a certain number of times. The problem is that when you leave a lot, whether to go to the neighborhood or to go to a commercial lot, it doesn't save the spray count so it resets to zero.

DESCRIPTION: An evolution of my old NoAutoRelax mod. Unlike that mod, which completely prevented sims from relaxing in bed, this one allows it as long as the sim's energy is > 40%. The purpose is to keep sims using sleepclock from relaxing when they are sleepy, thus missing the call to go to bed.

The player can still order sims to relax in bed. This just affects autonomous behavior.

Updated to fix an EP check bug.

LAST UPDATE: August 31, 2008

REQUIRED EPs: None

DESCRIPTION: Fixes typos in the job titles.

A "douser" is a person who throws water on someone. A "dowser" is someone who searches for water. After the dowser has found water, then the douser can throw it on someone.

There is no such word as "restauranteur" in any language that I know of. The correct term is "restaurateur".

Although "investigatory" is technically a word, the correct phrase is "investigative reporter". (I later realized that might be a deliberate Zoolander reference, but it's still wrong.)

DESCRIPTION: These are copies of Riverblossom Hills (from Seasons) and Desiderata Valley (from FreeTime) that have been cleaned of excess characters. They include only the playable sims with no townies or NPCs. Installation instructions are included in each zip.

DESCRIPTION: Soaping fountains is not longer allowed, either autonomously or player-directed.

Covers fountains in all the EPs through FreeTime.
