I love your mods Icarus. I was wonder if it would be possible to add the "skip stone" interaction to your mod? For some reason Sims do not perform that interaction autonomously, even if tweaked in ITUN files. Thank you again for all your wonderful work!!!

Always wondered why I've never seen that interaction in my game. Apparently it's from Supernatural? I don't have that expansion (probably never will) so it's rather difficult for me to implement and test it even if I tried, sorry

I love this but I found that left to their own devices this was *all* that my sims did. Would you be kind enough to provide a version with lower advertising?

All the relevant ITUNs are in the mod package itself, it's easy enough to open it with S3PE and do the adjusting as you see fit (or use NRaas Retuner to do it in game, details in the Description page)

I break mods by fiddling so I'll sit this one out. I'm happy enough with your other mods.

Thanks, I hate it.

Default Pregnant Sims and Snorkeling...
Hey Icarus...Love this Mod!!! Been using it for quite some time in my live game. However...Always Something Eh?? I found that when my pregnant sims get caught trying to snorkel they reset. I understand that typically pregnant sims should not be snorkeling to begin with, but I gave them the option to do so with Retuner. One fo the more predominant mods I use a LOT!!! But when I checked the script error it is showing that it something to do with this mod unfortunately.

Code:
Interactions:
1: Snorkel
Sims3.Gameplay.Pools.icarusallsorts.SnorkelingCustom+Definition
Sims3.Gameplay.Pools.icarusallsorts.SnorkelingCustom+Definition
Autonomous

Code:
System.NullReferenceException: A null value was found where an object instance was required.

#9: 0x00027 leave.s    in ScriptCore.ScriptCore.ScriptProxy:Simulate () ()


From what I understand it is definitely something to do with the pregnant sims. I did however remove the option with Retuner for Pregnant sims to be able to snorkel with Retuner. But they are still doing it. I wonder and am hoping that you can clarify this for me so I can remedy this quickly.

Should I remove the mod then delete the script cache and then restart the game and make sure the setting for pregnant sims for snorkeling is disabled with Retuner and then save the game and then put the mod back in the game and then restart it? It's seems like the logical thing to do whereas this seems to be a main issue with other mods in the past that I have dinked with and modified to my liking. I haven't tried this method yet and am kind of leery to do so. But I just wanted to get some clarity from you first before I start messing with this mod.

Cheers!!

@inf666ipi; Thanks for the info (and for reminding me that I probably neglected to actually test things with an actual pregnant sim, whoops). I'm currently away from my modding computer so I can't check for sure as of right now, but from what the ScriptError is saying it looks like the problem may be that pregnant sims don't have a valid snorkeling outfit to switch into causing the reset (which would explain why EA blocked them from snorkeling in the first place). The mod itself doesn't change how the snorkeling interaction actually works if I remember correctly, it only bypasses certain checks such as the explicit block against pregnant sims in the code (which would have precedence over the tuning so allowing pregnant sims to use the interaction by editing the ITUN or using Retuner wouldn't make a difference. Again, going by memory and a discussion at the NRaas forums about this same interaction here so not 100% sure).

If what I suspect is right though, the only way to fix it is to make/set a default snorkeling outfit for pregnant sims. It'll be a while before I can actually take an actual look into this, but in the meantime I suggest using Retuner to actually BLOCK pregnant sims from snorkeling so they won't be pushed to do so with this mod installed. (EDIT: just reread the last part of your post and it seems you've already tried that. Instead use Retuner to block Pregnant sims from using the "AutonomousSnorkeling" interaction added to Sims by this mod, separate from the default interaction found on water. Details are in the Description page under the spoiler tab in the bottom)

Did exactly as you suggested and it worked. No more issues with my Preggo Sims snorkeling and no more resets. Thanks for you insight. Much appreciated!!! I removed all snorkeling ability by Preggo sims completely and just to be on the safe side I also did what I said I was going to do by resetting my script cache file as well. And everything is working again as it should.

Cheers!!

This is just what I wanted! thank you so much, could you add on them autonomously moving their boat houses, that would be the best thing ever!

hey i got on to tell u that it drops group and date auto my sims was out on a date and he drop the date to go boating with out her haha was funny but it also drop my group date when they decided to go boating. I love the mod but that the only problem. Not good at phrasing things so let me try please, If ncp are in a group and instead of it auto dropping the date/group when they decided to go boating the whole group including the active too will go boating around that why they don't drop group and u know the active sim can go waterskiing while the ncp drive it 0r vice verse or combine with ur ask to go fishing they stop and start fishing together and chatting. that way it still grouping together.Man saying it is easier then making it i but atm i am having trouble trying to describe it also u think u can turn that cooler to be like a mini fridge so they can have a cold one on the beach without making it look awkward that a mini fridge is on the beach lol.

@lataya25: Really sorry but I am having trouble understanding what you were trying to say from your second sentence onwards (besides the cooler box request whicht I don't see adding to this mod). From your first sentence, it sounds like you're reporting that if you have sims in a group or date and one of them autonomously decides to go boating the group or date is immediately ended, is that it?
Field Researcher
#73 Old 25th Jun 2015 at 10:42 AM
YES SIR ,ignore the cooler one i just put it mini fridge there so i just wanted see people walking around drinking beers and pineapple/coconut drinks on the beach hahaha. But yes they drop grouping /date immediately when they go off boating or swimming so was asking if they decide to go boating to include the whole group so it dont end the grouping or date. they other was part was just an idea on what they do if they are in a group so they wouldn't drop the group it was to add to the ncp option go water-skiing/fishing on boat rental with date/group that way they are incline to take group action instead of lone wolfing.

@lataya25: I'm afraid I've tried getting multiple sims to go boating in the same boat but I just could not make it work so the idea had to be abandoned unfortunately. After checking, it looks like I've already blocked sims from autonomously going boating if they are in a group or date since it does break the grouping up if they leave the lot into the ocean, but this doesn't stop you from directing them to do so. I guess I'll just put the same block on the windsurfing as well.
