Ahhh! Thank you so much! I have this one family that I've been playing and I don't know what it is about those computer games, but one of the three adults is ALWAYS playing!

I see you think it's as annoying as me to look away after cancelling them from playing a computer game just to look back and see ... THEM PLAYING A COMPUTER GAME.

Geez, darns sims are worse than us!

Thanx so much! <3

Wooooo! I love you SOOO much!
Although I don't mind them playing computer games. I'd kinda like a mod which removed the sound of the computer games. Either way.
Great job!!!!

This mod is ironic in a metatextual way (addicted gamers telling their characters in the game not to play computer games) but very useful. I hate this interaction almost as much as the tantrum they throw when someone is in their path. Many thanks for writing this mod!

Thank you so much for this! Hearing that obnoxious music always grated on my nerves. You could even hear it on a different floor!

I can't remember, but I think it's a conversion of a Rose hair.

Is it possible to make a version that has reduced autonomy?

Doesn't this basically remove one of their choices for fun? I understand not wanting ones sims to play computer games in all their spare time but if you remove it from their choice, then will they autonomously (sp) look for some other form of fun, or will they simply become unhappy?

Yes, I do realize we can still command the sim to play a game if need be, I'm just wondering about those sims that we let loose on their own most of the time if not all of the time.

I could try to make the game less appealing in another mod, so that they put other activities before this one...

Isn't that the point? To eliminate this particular free-will activity so that sims can pursue others which are less annoying. If I'm understanding you correctly (hopefully): they can still play foosball, throw hand-held balls, play Gnubb toss, paint, play chess (on the computer and on the table). In a nut shell, only the "play game" interaction on the Computer is disabled, everything else is fine.

Thanks for this mod.. the computer games wouldn't be so awful if the Sims weren't hellbent on playing them every second of the day. I like seeing variety in their autonomous actions.

Is this mod supposed to be compatible with the new patch? I recently noticed that my sims are playing computer games autonomously again.

Thank you for this, really tired of my Sims always trying to play games on the computer. Also considering their fun is at max too, lol. Been using it for about 5 hours now and have yet to see them play on their own, so I guess it's working, lol.

Thank god. I hated those computer games.

On another note, could you possibly tell me what that great lipstick your sim is wearing is? In fact, I really like the whole sim and uploading her would be great, too. I understand if you don't want to tell me / upload her, though. ;D

Thank you for this mod!
