🎙️🔞 I did it all for the fruitcake! C'mon! The fruitcake!

✮ // ⋆ TOTES "SIMPLE" BUGFIX DESCRIPTION:

This BUGFIX expands the Welcome Wagon to all sims aged CHILD to ELDER who live in houses in your REGION (world) instead of your NEIGHBORHOOD.

This should prevent all hidden special NPCs from joining your Wagon, and it should fix broken Wagons if you have no immediate neighbors or only one neighbor (like me).

P.S. If you live in a world with no other housed sims, you will never have a Wagon, and if you live in a world with only one or two other housed sims, your Wagon will still be a little wonky, but it'll work:

ONE (1) sim means no Fruitcake. 😿
TWO (2) sims means one will have the Fruitcake! 😺
I DID IT ALL FOR THE FRUITCAKE! C'MON! 😹

✮ // ⋆ "BUT I DON'T LIKE FRUITCAKE":

Pfft! Sound like a you problem. 😹

Also, why do folks hate the Welcome Wagon?!

Is it because Wagon sims make a mess of your bookshelf and leave plates all over your house and prank your toilet and swipe your goodies?

PFFT! I CAN FIX THAT!

Maybe... in a Tuning Override, when I circle around to finishing my BUGFIX for Stayover Guests.

✮ // ⋆ PROJECT MIRRORS:

✮ // ⋆ ZIP CONTAINS (0) TS4SCRIPT + (1) PACKAGE:

This is a simple Tuning override.

This archive should never contain TS4SCRIPT files, BATCH files, or EXE files, etc.

This section exists as a reminder that we are in someone's crosshairs.

Rogue TS4SCRIPT files, BATCH files, EXE files, etc., encountered where they don't belong could contain malicious PYTHON SCRIPT or other !@#$ that will attempt to infect your device and steal your personal information when executed by you or the game. Malware can ruin lives. Don't !@#$ around.
