I would eventually. But, as I've said a few times before relating to the doc career Emergency Events, I will do no more work on them until Maxis fix them. Just to let you know how bad it is (in my opinion), in my own game I have a special flavour of this mod that complexly switches off all Emergency Events. The Pregnancy Emergency Event has been broken now for over six months and messes up the day at hospital if allowed to trigger. The Test Sample Emergency Event just no longer fires for level 10 docs. I have not seen it in over a year of play! Even if I force it to be the only Emergency Event allowed it still will not trigger. That only leaves the Emergency Surgery Event, which, on its own is fine. But, since it's the only one left that works properly, it happens every-damn day and I'm sick, sore and tired of it making all the sitting patients in the waiting area stand up in shock when the surgery patient collapses at front desk, and then the crowd just stands there for the rest of the day. (Totally defeating my seated patients mod!) I can't stand it anymore, (If you'll pardon the pun) so I shut off ALL emergencies.

So, if you want my special NEE (No Emergency Events) flavour to tide you over till Maxis fix this god-awful mess, then I'd be happy to share.

Today's patch notes once again say nothing about Pregnancy Emergencies. So that's yet another month till June the borkage goes unfixed. Have they actually abandoned it? And are just leaving it in the hands of a modder to finally fix? (Because I have tried, but to no avail as yet.)

I use MC also, currently on 3.4.0 which also has the last exception error pop ups and have not had exception error reports generated related to the mods here. Though I have yet to patch game and update MC to latest versions to see if it starts doing as you have reported.

It may well be Maxis have altered the XMLs used in this mod in latest patch, which of course I will update as per usual after I patch. I will know more soon enough.

In regards to the Festival Announcements, I listed the XMLs used in this mod and you'll see I do not use those ones at all, so this mod will not effect those phone scenarios in any way, shape or form. More to the point, I also use this mod, and I regularly have phone invites and festival announcement pop ups. There is a long standing problem with phone invites for the Dance Party at Ruins and Ocean Bluffs to no longer happen. This issue was there long before I made this mod, and may be related to another mod by another creator. (If not another Maxis glitch.) I have not looked into it thoroughly enough to say one way or the other, but if Festival Invites are also no longer occurring for you, then it may be related to same issue, ergo same mod.

It is on my list of things to do, to investigate the missing Ruins and Bluffs invites. But I cannot say when I'll find time to look into it properly.   

 

Thank you. And that's a great little gameplay tactic I never thought of. Just drag a drink to the table where they're sitting eating and tell them to drink. I love it! I'll be sure to use that little gem in the future.

I have a couple more trays of drinks and some fixes for the espresso cup empty states that I've been holding back for a while. I'm just waiting for the next patch any day now, before I release updates or anything new. But I'll drop a quick teaser here about that big community lot world rework mod set I have be talking about for over a year now. It's coming soon. There'll be a brand new "travel" object soon and that will be the precursor to what is essentially a massive set of mods and venues of world changing proportions. And a couple of new drink trays alongside to celebrate the launch.

But for now I'm going to get back in game and try out your nifty suggestion.

Yeah, me too, exactly the same. Get that handy sim upgrading everything in the house from the get go. That's how my main sim gets to know all people in the world. I send him to visit them one by one and make friends, and while there he upgrades all their stuff and cooks them one of his 99 servings Impeccable meals and has a great dinner with them before he leaves. The whole world loves him!

The aromatherapy on hot tubs deals with all the main moods in the game. I usually go for Playful scent, with the purple colour fumes wafting from the tub. Change the tub's lighting to match and it's a nice atmospheric touch. No need to mod what is already there and working fine.

Doesn't the aromatherapy choices on hot tubs do the mood altering stuff?

Good call. I saw that sitting there in the outbox doing nothing the other week and wondered what I should do with it. Not sure if my version needs an update. I did see a version pop up on MTS in the last month or so, so I just thought, meh, leave it. It's all due to the Fish Storage Box. Just can't go wrong with those, so I unconsciously let the other one go feral and abandoned. But for you, my sweet queen, to welcome your active return, I'd be more than happy to spruce it up and upload it here. Just say the word, TFM.  

That's not how the coding works. It's all based on the Maxis grab snack and grab drink, which is single serving only and will glitch if a large family meal is coded into it.

I do have plans to do a big rework of the buffet tables. Now that's where the large group serving meals can be added.

I'm currently testing a tray of the 3 x Beer types and a tray of Cream Cola & Rootbeer Floats. I'll release them soon if it all plays nice.

I think since the release of the Pool Venue a while back, and the Clubs and group gathering that came with Get Together, pools went from nought but a big, wet garden ornament to really come into their own. Sure they are still neglected during the normal course of things, but then again I'm not one for having them on a residential lot. But I've been making and tweaking an extensive set of mods that redefine venues, new NPC staff and what visiting sims get up to during their stay, and the pool venue is one of my favourites for a fun day out. One day I'm sure I'll release the mod set. Just been finishing up halting the pointless generation of useless, unwanted sims once and for all as part of this big community venues rework. It's such a delight to finally see none but your own sims finally turning up at venues and no others, period.  None in the homeless bin but needed staff, and they never leave that bin to go anywhere except to do their job. My sims, my world, my way, at blooming long last. This mod set over a year in the making and still more to do.

But residential pools, not really what I want to be looking at right now. But hang on for a bit, and you can soon enjoy the new venue, staff and visitor reworkings.

Quicker Analyse Patient Sample - Now only 10 minutes.

Quicker Computer Usage - Now both computer interactions only 10 minutes each.

On ‎07‎/‎04‎/‎2017 at 5:55 AM, AussieMummy said:

Some patients are still appearing with the guaranteed diagnosis already available even though I have not admitted them.

That is actually a patient type that Maxis coded to come to the hospital. I think specifically for the low levels of the career, to watch the diagnosis doctors go at them autonomously. Usually they actually have no real illness so the diagnosis docs may very well send them home as cured before you can get a look in. But, this is Maxis coding, and it is borked. Seen when the patient is leaving the hospital, they still have the red icon above their head and still with the sickly walk. Great job, Maxis.

If I actually played the hospital any more with any enthusiasm I'd look into it. If Maxis ever damn-well fix the broken Emergency Events (Pregnancy Emergency still broken six and a half months now and counting. It's getting so players could have a real life pregnancy and birth in all that time Maxis neglect to fix!) I would most likely edit those patient types and stop them coming to the hospital as level 10 docs simply don't need to see them and I personally do not want to see "cured," discharged patients walking out of the hospital as if they are about to drop dead. 

Heartbeat Hospital

This is an extensive reworking of the original hospital that comes with Get To Work. The lot reimagined and renamed to work in harmony with the Doctor Career Reimagined set of mods, and with a little bit of quirky science-fiction finesse thrown in to make those long hours at the hospital more of a fun adventure rather than a repetitive chore.

Update - November 2018 - Updated lot to be compatible with Seasons EP. Changed and added some objects, like teleport pads and non-dance wall stereos and some décor TVs. Also changed out the hospital objects in display cases for the proper décor versions found with the Size Matter set of mods. This prevents docs trying to use those shrunken display objects. Added links to new CC in the links spoiler at bottom of page. See pictures below for more details.

Update Images

 

29 images for viewing:

The bulk of the objects and décor are from Get To Work, Get Together, Outdoor Retreat, City Living, Spa Day. And to be honest, I have all additional packs to date, so there's probably going to be the odd item from a few other packs that have found their way into the build.

The only CC I use in the lots I upload is stuff I made myself. All of which can be found here at simsasylum. I will provide links below to all the CC used on Heartbeat Hospital.

To find this lot in your Library, you must activate the allow CC checkbox on the Library screen. Put a tick in the box and this lot will be available to view and place. Also build mode is normally deactivated at the Hospital. Enter cheat bb.enablefreebuild to switch build mode on.

Provided with this hospital lot is a cloned, sculpture version of the base game toy helicopter. Cloned and made into a sculpture so sims do not try to play with it or put it away. It is purely for decorative effect up on the hospital roof and is not essential to the build if you don't want it. (Though you will get the "Missing Objects" message when placing this lot if you choose not to download the helicopter sculpture.)

Of course none of this CC or mods are absolutely necessary. But the lot will not be the same without them, and the Missing Objects message will trigger if any of the CC objects are not in your game.

Without knowing which flies the cc object consist of, I could do no more than guess one way or the other. I have listed all files these mod use that would cause conflict if another creator uses same files. Hopefully, the cc creator has done likewise and listed used files, then you can compare. If it's just a new texture for an object, then there probably will not be a conflict. But if the cc object has more than just texture swatches, then it could cause a conflict.

hello cool,i have installed cool1_CornucopiaDispenser_AllBaseGame.rar but when i want to place one of the fridges it gives me a script failure i have tried all of the but all give the same failed script message

You need the VintageIcebox_ALPHA as well,  as all the other clones get their resources from it.

Sixam Reimagined

Somewhere in our galaxy, there is a planet full of aliens partying like they are at the centre of the universe and it's the most fun place to be. Go join them at this colourful, funky party venue, and show them you know a thing or two about having a really good time.

This is a fun reimagining of the Sixam lot that comes with Get To Work. Designed for an optimum great time for those scientists who leave the labs during the workday to come here and party with the aliens.

Update - Feb 2018 - Did a little tweaking to this lot, firstly to remove a specific drinks tray object that was generating Last Exception reports. Even though the tray has already been removed from the updated drinks tray mod set, when loading up Sixam it still had a relic version that was generating a Last Exception if any sim tried to restock the tray. How the object remained on the lot at all, after being directly removed from the tray mods themselves, is a mystery. Since it no longer exists in my mods folder, it should have been a typical Missing Objects report when Sixam first loaded and nothing more. Either way, I've tidied up this lot to remove the minor issue, also rearranged a thing or two, and included a Cornucopia Buffet Table to keep all partying visitors fed with many tasty treats. The link for that new object is included in the spoiler tab below.

Packs used for this build are Get To Work, Get Together, City Living, Spa Day, Outdoor Retreat, Luxury Party, Cool Kitchen, Spooky Stuff.

The only CC I use in the lots I upload is stuff I made myself. All of which can be found here at simsasylum. I will provide links below to all the CC used on Sixam.

A known Maxis issue is that outside objects raised with the Moo cheat are not protected in the same way interior objects are. When placing the lot those outside objects will be mercilessly slammed to the ground. All the UFOs, the Alien Gnomes floating around the Wormhole Portal and the enlarged stereo for the dance floor will all be forced to hit the deck as soon as this lot is placed. To raise them again, enter the bb.moveobjects cheat and hit the 9 key to raise, the 0 key to lower if you go too high. For the precise placement height of stereo, hit the 9 key 22 times, then hold ALT key and pull stereo slightly forward to line up with the round light as seen in the pics. (Somehow that round light is the only thing that is not forced to hit the deck.)

Edit Update 11th May 2017 - Hooray! Finally got this section underway with the upload of FutureSim Labs Reimagined. The last few weeks (months even) of stating a new world (due to the data corruption of the old world) and placing, tweaking, testing and fine tuning the lots is done. All tidied and improved from the lots you may remember posted on MTS. So now I will be steadily uploading all the others and a few funky new ones never uploaded anywhere before. Happy simming, folks.

Glad you got it sorted. Hope you enjoy all the storage options.

Do you have the Add Storage Alpha mod installed? Does it do it for all of them or a particular object? If so, is the object from an EP you do not have installed? The scrip call failed message is usually related to missing resources. Typically trying to use a partial clone where not all the object's needed files are present in your game.

 

The Cornucopia Dispenser Set

 

This is a standalone clone of the Vintage Icebox Fridge from base game. (Don't worry,  also all other fridges to date are included.) What it does is give a great many pie menu options to access almost all of the food and drink varieties in game to date. Select any single meal or drink and your sim will go grab it from the fridge and enjoy. Also comes with my unique in-game autonomy switching function. (Was unique in May 2017, very, not so much now though.) Choose the function from the pie menu to command sims to switch on and off autonomous interactions. No more outside mods needed for this fridge to stop them eating or drinking. A more organic method in-game, where sims will switch it on and off by your command whenever you desire. Whenever you are fed up of them drinking or eating willy-nilly, just switch it off. Then switch it back on for the busy party gatherings when you want them to drink and feed themselves silly. Autonomy is switched off by default, and will always revert to a no autonomy state if ever the game goes through a loading screen scenario for whatever purpose.

Here's what Storage Galorage Ltd have to say about this new Cornucopia Dispenser range in the build mode description:

"IceBOX Vintage Cornucopia Dispenser - by Storage Galorage Ltd

This food & drink dispenser combines the charm of an antique icebox with the convenience of modern "Cornucopia" technology installed. Fitted with a small pressure tank filled with all the electrochemical atomic matter that all digestible nutrition consists of, all you need do is tell it what meal or beverage you desire and it will generate it instantly. And all for a nominal, standard fee across the menu. Since it all draws from the same atomic soup, there's no excuse to charge you double for a gourmet lobster dish than from a basic oatmeal biscuit. Storage Galorage Ltd will continually refill the pressure tank if and when the atomic soup depletes, via our online teleport connection to each unit, so you'll never experience it empty. You just have to make sure your power connection does not get cut off."  

Certain food and drink selections will never be available for autonomous usage due to their effect on sims being something you might not want on a random, autonomous basis. Potions, Mood Meals, Ambrosia, Vampire stuff, a couple of ice cream flavours that drastically increase or decrease a sim's weight and Experimental Meals. (See Known Issues at bottom of page for Experimental Meals.)

To see and use the food and drink available in the Plasma / Vampire section, the sim will need to have the relevant vampire skills and knowledge. Otherwise the section appears empty. (That's why I chose the Vamp family for these pics. Strange, since they cannot enjoy all the other hundreds of treats on offer. But needed, lest the Vamp section shows nothing.)

Meal quality varies depending on the traits of sims. If used in conjunction my Impeccable food mods and Excellent drink mods, then sims with the right traits will always have the best quality foods and drinks. Even Impeccable Popcorn! (Boy, that was still a pain in the butt to get popcorn to work. But I wasn't going to let it defeat me this time round.) 

So let's take a look at some of those menus available.

 

 

A great many food and drink choices on offer. From base game and most EPs, GPs and SPs to date. Where it's not essential to have all additional packs for this mod to work, it is desirable for the foods and drinks of those packs to be available from the dispenser. Otherwise there will be blank boxes where the missing food and drink would be.

Also included are clones of all other base game fridges, and three fridges from additional packs. These optional extra clones are set up to take their resources from the Vintage Icebox Alpha, so that you can have a Cornucopia Dispenser to suit the look of every home or community lot. The three fridges from additional packs are, Corporate Fridge Raider from Get To Work, Freezer Burn from Cool Kitchen, Crisponix Budget Used from City Living. For each fridge you will need the corresponding pack installed for them to show in your game. So make sure you install the Vintage Icebox ALPHA first, because all these other optional extra clones need it otherwise they wont work.

All Cornucopia Dispensers can be found in Appliances / Fridges

 

New Additions February 2019 - We now have a new Dinner Bar object based on the Cornucopia range. A cloned object from Get Famous, it will not override the original dresser object and the EP pack is a required install for it to work in your game. It draws its resources from the Alpha mod like all the other extra versions. I also added a few more clutter slots to the surface so you can add a bit more appropriate décor items atop the Dinner Bar. 

Also a new Nectar Dispenser cloned from the Dine Out Nectar rack. Same pack install rules apply. This unit only serves Nectar drinks, but they are the recipes first made for the Cornucopia Alpha, so the Nectar Rack draws its function resources from it like all other extra models.

The glasses of nectar do look a bit odd when spawned inside the rack. But the rack itself looks odd to begin with. It's just too damn, unrealistically big. Just look at the size of those bottles! When they were first developing TS4, I swear the team must have been heavily into Fable 2 & 3, which would have been popular at the time, for their inspiration for a cartoony game. Elaborate, oversized fittings, furniture and décor up the chunky wazoo. You can shrink the nectar racks down to not only make the bottles a more realistic size, but also have the glass of nectar spawn flush on the top surface. Perfect. Even that blue cutlery/condiments caddy, wooden chopping board and the lemon&lime pot atop the Dinner Bar have all been shrunk, as the default sizes are just laughably Fable-ish. The Nectar Rack is not governed by the Alpha's on/off switch, so sims are free to grab a glass of nectar autonomously any time.

 

New Addition - March 2019 - The Purifier 5 Million décor object from StrangerVille GP now as a standalone cloned Cornucopia Dispenser. I have to say it does look the part for a futuristic setting. I'm sold! Well, anything's better than being a dud décor object when you look so swanky and fit for purpose. Just give me that purpose!!! StrangerVille GP is a required install for this object to show in your game.

    

Update July 2019 1.52 - Been neglecting adding foods and drinks to this for a while. So WENT TO TOWN on it this month. If the kitchen sink were edible, it would be in here now. Many older ones rooted out and added.

Geez, Italian Meatballs and Minestrone Soup I'd forgotten about. I love these foods, how did I forget?! Here now, at last.

Over in the Drinks Tray mod thread, a member was asking about the hot cocoa, apple spiced nog and iced coffee from Seasons stalls. Well, they're here now, too. I won't be adding them to trays, though. I almost wasn't going to add them here. Because it's one of those "be careful what you wish for" scenarios. Along with the drinks, what you'll get is a medium-sized dose of typical Maxis laziness. That the drinks, their names, are only surface cosmetics, and they're all just actually coffee. Well Iced Coffee, yeah, but so are the other two. The same resources in each of their files is coffee, the same damn object resource for the cup. You'll even get the coffee buff when drinking them. But if a surface, cosmetic name change is what toots your flute, then these will make you happy. Just don't look at the buff the sim will get when drinking them, otherwise illusion is shattered.

Next the Chinese New Year dishes. Vegetable Dumplings and Mud Carp. Yummy, they're here now at last.

Which takes us up to date and the Island Living stuff. --- I just needed to pause there and calm myself. So as not to launch into yet another literary tirade over this mountain-sized dose of Maxis laziness. Concentrate on the good stuff, little as there is. Five genuine new meals that have been included. New mesh, new visuals, new names. Good. Two nice drinks, Kava and Lotta Cocolata with unique cups. Good. Everything else, rip-off, rehashed stuff, all already here, same mesh, same visual, different name, not going to include the Island fake foods. Not good.

Another lazy rip-off I almost did not include, coconut cake. It is the base game birthday cake rehashed, same everything, different name. Only when baking it in an oven, a coconut is used as an ingredient. But same cake in the end, and no special buffs to let you know there is even a difference. Is there another word for lazy I can use as I'm getting bored repeating it? Well, let me tell you who is not lazy. Me. Cause I made a new, special coconut cake buff when eating a slice from here. Now you'll know it's different than the birthday cake and celebrate the coconut joy. Also drinking Kava from here will give you a unique new buff I made, squeamish beware! Finally, I made my own rip-off, too. Because that new coconut cup was too good not to use for a crazy, cockamamie cocktail your sims can have bizarre fun with. Enjoy. 

Personal update August 2019 - Removed the Coolspear's Cockamamie Coconut Cocktail drink from the autonomy lists for drinks. Played a large house with autonomy on, for the first time in a while, and yeah, autonomy for that special drink has to go. Ouch. Now only available to drink via direct command.

Personal update April 2020 - I've finally caved in and I'm going to give up on my original idea to allow sims to be the ones who actively turn on and turn off these Cornucopia dispensers. From the start I just wanted it to feel more connected to them, the way they turn on a stereo, something they are involved in. Then again, even Maxis leave the turning off of most things to the player, including stereos. So, for this object to fall in line with all the many other On/Off Autonomy Switch mods I've released, this fridge too is now directly switched On or Off by the player and our sims have nothing more to do with it. You'll just have to be that extra bit vigilant if it's the only food source in the home and you forgot you turned it Off, because it will remain Off indefinitely until you switch it On again. Meaning the sims will die of hunger now, unable to switch it on for themselves. The Nectar Rack dispenser has also been given a player-controlled On/Off switch.  

Personal update May 2022 - No patch code updates required after all this time. I just love making my own files for mods. They just sail along in harmony. Not unless Maxis drastically rework the game of course, which they have not done since last update of April 2020.

So what's new?

Added many new foods and drinks from Snowy Escape and Batuu mainly. Still got quite a few to add, namely from Cottage Living and a few others. Though I have included all the new Milk types from cows, that are now available in "Grab a Cold Drink" option. Maxis have given us quite a lot of new meals since the last update of this mod in 2020, so I'm still working at it.

New option to grab some otherwise impossible to get hold of Paranormal ecto-cake and unique spirit drinks when living in "normal" residential homes. We can't all live in a designated Paranormal home, be we do want us some spooky Paranormal treats, Maxis. So Storage Galorage Ltd provides. Enjoy. The Paranormal pack is a required install, of course.

Made some more compatible clones of fridges from dlc game packs. You'll need those packs installed to enjoy these new clones.

Made two special Snowy Escape objects, a fridge and dinner bar, that only serve meals best eaten with traditional chopsticks. Mostly the meals that came with that pack and a few other base game meals and City Living stuff. Just to keep it a little more real in those Snowy Mountain homes where autonomously stuffing your face with fork-loads of fish and chips or bangers and beans is not the normally done thing. Protocol, people, tradition and protocol. Storage Galorage Ltd understands this.

A new sci-fi fridge - the Purifier5Million model again - that only serves Batuu meals and drinks. Originally designed for my upcoming Batuu Reworked venue mods and the new dining sims thereof. Though I have to say this comes with the very same random LEs as seen with getting Experimental Dine Out meals from the fridge. I cannot get to the bottom of the randomness. But what I can now gather from it, all these years later, is that Batuu meals and Dine Out Experimental meals come on the same black plates. The plates are the culprit, but why the heck is it so random without any discernible pattern? Maybe when the plates are spawned in the fridge they randomly don't sit right because they are unique and Maxis never did design them to be repeatedly taken out of a fridge, and bang, the random LE when sim tries to grab it. Sims still sit and eat the Batuu food, no sim resets, nothing but the the game sometimes randomly hates that plate type coming out of a fridge. Maybe your sims will have better luck with it and never get a random LE. Because I'll be damned if I or Storage Galorage Ltd know the real answer. Consequently it won't be used in my Batuu venue mods, especially if I'm testing them for other things and don't need this poxy random LE stealing my thoughts and concentration any more than it already has done. Funnily enough the new Batuu family meals for the Cornucopia Buffet Table never cause an issue. Sweet and smooth plate grab every time. But that's a whole other mod. 

Update June 2023 - For the Alpha mod there's been a few new drinks additions. When selecting from fridge they are found in Bar Drinks and Cold Drinks menus. Some I don't even know what they are, Dyed Cocktails? From Eco Pack. Okay, yeah, just slip in some industrial strength chemical dye into my drink and pray to the heavens it doesn't melt and disintegrate my liver in utter agony. Oh, I see, it's only organic, biological dyes made from the crushed corpses of vermin insects for their pigments. Then that's much more palatable, like glace cherries. Everyone loves them sticky beetle-dyed treats. Bring it on. Another great night out for the daredevil risk-takers with ironclad stomachs. I dunno.

Also added Bubble Teas. (For drinking "high quality" bubble tea my new mod for fixing a Maxis glitch is also required -  https://simsasylum.com/tfm/index.php?/topic/16522-a-fix-for-the-bubble-tea-quality-glitch-new-for-june-2023/)

I also added a clone of the fridge model that comes with the kit dlc. There are now 12 DLC fridges in that optional addon rar folder. The DLCs for each are required installs.

I moved all other nectar racks, dinner bars and other specials into their own rar folder, as the download list below was getting a bit cluttered and confusing. (DLCs required for most.)

So now only four rar folders below with everything you may need in them.

Known Issue - Experimental Meals when eating at home have about a 1-in-4 chance of causing a sim to reset. Also same random LE for recent Batuu foods. The 1-in-4 randomness is totally bizarre. However, both the Experimental Meals and the Batuu Meals both come served on the same black plates. I suspect that is the reason behind the random LEs. But as to why, you got me. The randomness, is just so random. Maybe connected to left-handed, right-handed sims getting confused on these black plates, as I've seen similar LEs happens when left and right handed sim are given wrong, opposite animation when grabbing drinks. As such, until this random glitch can be identified and remedied, I have made the Experimental Meals and Batuu Meals to never be an autonomous choice from the Cornucopia Dispenser.

Footnotes of interest - 

- 27th Sept 2021 - Star Wars fans might appreciate the descriptions in Cold Drinks options menus for Batuu milk. "Luke's Tatooine Blue Milk," because in original movie at Uncle Owen's dinner table, the young Luke drank blue milk, and "Luke's Irish Isle Green Milk," as we all know the infamous scene of older Luke getting himself some freshly squeezed green tiddy milk, filmed on an Irish Isle, and the color green and the Irish are inseparable - I should know, I'm Irish, and my blood just as green as old Mr Spock's. This name change won't effect the names of the buyable milk when visiting Batuu food stalls, they're only seen on this Cornucopia Fridge Dispenser.

 

 

Happy fridge raiding, folks.

 

"Dear Deaderpool?"

I should imagine it has something to do with daylight hours, and vamps burning to death during the day. Sure, some vamps might have daywalker powers, but others do not. If it's opened for vamps to come to work, the game isn't going to be selective for which vamps, and that would be a random death sentence for some vamps.  Though I haven't really played vampires much to get a true sense of such things. I can't see myself making any vampire mods until I do get a better sense of their unique occult life.

Yes, I used to have them hosted on MTS. But not any longer. All my mods can only be found here at this website. (Unless being ripped-off by scumbag paysites like Pandora.)

Here it is - http://sims4studio.com/

If you do wish to try S4S for yourself, I'd be glad to help show you the very simple 2/3 step process of how to remove entries you don't want in any mod. S4S truly is as easy, straightforward and as user-friendly as using Microsoft Word or something. Especially for the simple task of deleting an entry. It's also a brilliant tool to use for cleaning up errors in CC clothing and objects with its batch fixing commands. And that's nothing to do with modding on the user's end, just a great help to keep your game content in good shape. It's a must have tool for players, as well as modders.

I do my best to keep the Impeccable Quality mods separate, specific to EPs and SPs, but I know they're not 100%. The Deluxe version of TS4 and the cakes that came with, being one example. Furthermore, I don't do any No Ingredients for Cooking mods, so I don't see why you are commenting on that here. I do my best not to "clump" things together, but it cannot be avoided unless myself, and other modders who work on similar projects, make many variations of the same mod. One of the problems modders face with doing mods relating to recipe adjustments, is there are so many recipes. And the clumping together, more often than not, starts with Maxis releasing more meals under the same base game titles as Homestyle or Gourmet. It would be quite a daunting task for modders to decipher which ones belong to which packs out of the hundreds available. Lest I uninstalled each pack to see which ones vanish from my own game. Not going to do that. Not going to make multiple variations for those that have one pack, but not another. Come patch time, you'd be there all week just working on the variations of one mod alone. Life's too short.

The easiest alternative to fix the issue, would be to dabble in a bit of modding yourself. Learn how to open the files with S4S and simply remove the recipes you don't have. There are great tutorials at the S4S website that could have you cleaning up mods for your own, personal usage preference in no time. Much, much quicker than it would take me to tidy up 20 variations come patch time.

New Version 2 added.

I don't normally take requests, especially for mods that I will not even be using in my own game. But as I am currently making and testing a new super fridge that covers almost all of the food and drink recipes to date, I thought I'd be friendly and make this version that a couple of folks have been asking for.  A new Version 2 added for those players who like to store bar drinks which their sims made and tea in the fridge, but don't want sims to drink them autonomously. It was easy enough to stick the recipes on the XML, and I'm almost certain this will work. Stored items in fridge, such as food your sims cooked or drinks they made previously, are somewhat different to those food and drink items that they grab autonomously when the "Have a Drink," or "Have a Quick Meal" is autonomously chosen. Those objects are generated on spec, never having existed until autonomously requested. So I'm not entirely sure if putting all the bar drinks and tea recipes on the XML used for this mod is going to stop sims drinking premade drinks from the storage hold. You guys who use Version 2 are going to have to let me know as I will not be using Version 2 in my game. I'm too busy testing and tweaking my super fridge for Version 2 to possibly get in the way of things.

Only the few default drinks that Maxis put on the Grab Drink Autonomous XML are the ones that are stopped when making said XML non autonomous. The recipes for the teas would have to be put on that list for them to also be barred from autonomous grabbing. Exactly as Alamain - a few posts up from yours - needs doing with the bar drinks for sims to stop grabbing them if you store them in fridge. I did say I'd take a look, but just haven't got round to it (forgot.) Hang on, I'll sort something out soon for bar drinks and teas.
