[Mod] “Do Something” aka "Command Non-Active Sims" - make them Interact - towards others, objects, or alone - for More Control over NPCs
In the process of testing interactions for Law & Disorder, I made myself a tool that enables me to force run any interaction on Sims regardless of availabilities and tests - this is powerful for testing but NOT safe to use by mod users. So I did add that to Sim Info Manager for modders.
But I felt it would be a wasted opportunity to not make a more restricted, safe to use version for y’all mod users.
So, here comes this.
It lets you tell any non-active Sim (aka not your currently played one) what you want them to do next. You can command them to:
- Do a social interaction with your currently played Sim
- do a social interaction with another Sim of your choosing
be the target of another other Sim's interaction, both of your choosing
- do an interaction with an object of your choosing
- do an interaction alone
cancel an interaction
How to use this mod?: It is extremely simple:
- click the "Do Something" main interaction, available at the surface of the pie menu when clicking another Sim
- choose the type of action you want the other Sim to perform
- done! The Sim will do what you asked.
The interactions are organized by main pie menu. The interaction's main menu name is first in pink / purple, then the interaction name. Under that, the sub-pie menu name is shown.Interactions that aren’t in any menu are listed at the top .
Have fun!
Here are some examples:
