CHANGELOG
22th Dec 2018 - Created, tested, uploaded
24th Dec 2018 - Added additional tuning file. PLEASE RE-DOWNLOAD AND UPDATE!
ABOUT
This is a mod that overrides two XML Tuning files.
It allows your Sims to use their phone when there's a fire on the lot.
This is achieved by completely removing the test for fires in the phone tuning file and adding more interactions to the whitelist.
Originally, there was two Tuning files in this, but after some more testing it turns out the second file was not needed at all. Please let me know if I'm mistaken. I was mistaken - If your Sim wasn't a Pyromaniac, it was possible that their phone would just show a blank screen. The new version of the mod should fix that. This mod won't have any lasting effects if you try it out, so feel free to mess around with it and see if it's to your liking. If it's not, just delete it again, and it won't leave a trace.
Not gonna lie, the main reason why I made this mod is to give my pyromaniac Sim the ability to take selfies next to fires. :3
IMPORTANT: FILE VERSIONS
There are two versions of the package now, inside separate downloadable ZIPs:
->Artystanks_UsePhoneDuringFire.package, which has all the interactions of the phone PLUS the interactions of cameras as requested.
->Artystanks_UsePhoneDuringFire_NoCamera.package, which doesn't include the cameras. That only applies to actual cameras! You can still use your phone's camera with this.
Only use one of the files, not both!
CHANGED VALUES
Like I said above, I did the following:
->Removed the lines related to fire that check if your phone is usable at the moment. This means you can now use your phone like normal if there is a fire on the lot.
->Added the following interactions to the "interaction_cancel_compatibility" file:
NOTE: YOU STILL CAN'T SAVE THE GAME OR TRAVEL WHEN THERE'S A FIRE!
NOTE 2: If your Sim starts a fire and gets stuck on it, they won't be able to do anything - this is not the fault of my mod. It can be solved by simply teleporting them a meter away. They can then act again.
CONFLICTS
The following TUNING files have been overridden, therefore this mod will conflict with other mods that do this:
03B33DDF-00000000-6C2298980B4F1732
I don't know of any other mods that override this file.
03B33DDF-00000000-B17F7F4EF5ED9623
The Sorcerer mod overrides this one, for example.
