Flags.
What are they? What can I do with 'em? :)
Lots! I marked my 3 "jailbirds" (detective criminal npc's in the cell) SS for same sex. Something to keep 'em busy while they're stuck in holding. LOL!! I plan to also mark them NH for homeless, so the mod won't take them out of their "career" by moving them in with someone, and onto the map. Mail carriers (mine are females) I marked SS and NH. Ditto hidden housefolks. Trying to keep the ones I want in the bin, there. Work in progress, though, I'm still catching on to flags myself.
NC is good for keeping sims out of the gene pool. Actor initiates pregnancy, Target is the recipient there.
@sabreene knows flags, but she doesn't post here much... tagging in hopes she'll see this. She's at MTS more, I think.
Docs pages are SWEET, though... here's a shot of SOME of the info.
This from Deaderpool about the Ancestral Household is in the changelog for 1.0.11... the whole thing is interesting reading!
Per Morphar's suggestion, I implemented an "ancesteral" flag for households. Basically, using this on a household that live in a home will result in someone of that last name living there until they die out. This is a little hard to do within Sims 4 as house lots don't have anything I can use to flag in any way. I can flag the household that lives on the lot, though, so that's what I go with. When someone on that lot gets married, the other Sim will always move onto their lot (AS LONG AS THERE IS ROOM) and the last name will always change to the ancesteral last name. Single Sims will only move off the lot if there are younger Sims still living there. I think this will make it so you can keep some of the "famous" names like "Goth" and "Landgraab" and "Holiday" around for a long, long time. If you evict the family, then their ancestral setting would be cleared through the cleanup process. If you move them to another home lot, they will live in that lot instead as their ancestral home. This is implemented as a "Sim Flag" on the Sims menu, "Flag as Ancesteral Household". Note that it flags the household, not that individual Sim so all Sims in the household are included in the flagging. Also added the "AH" flag-type to the "flag_sim" console command.
Check it out, and let me know what happens... I'd love to hear about what you do with them! :smile:
Docs page? How do I get to that?
You know all those blue buttons going down the main Download page? All this info (there's TONS) lives under those buttons. I <3 my printscreen key!
You DO kinda have to put the Dresser and Cleaner stuff together for it to make more sense... they work together and separately. Cleaner uses some dresser settings, I mean. I'm still arguing with these two. >.<
But if you nose around under those buttons, you're gonna find a LOT of what you were asking about, over there.
And I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with it. :)
(Need any help, let me know... I'm a great nit-picker, I mean editor... :P and DP did make some changes that I saw needed doing.)
duh...I can't see for looking :/ Got 'em
