✮ // ⋆ TOTES "SIMPLE" BAND-AID DESCRIPTION:

A simple BAND-AID for a nonsensical "bug" that was introduced in 2020.

This BAND-AID addresses the bugged out "waking sleep" that ACTIVE sims find themselves in after WooHoo, by nuking a thing from orbit and modifying another thing, forcing both sims to transition out of the sleep posture to have a chat.

This will suffice for now, but I might overhaul it in the future if I can make it better.

🌠 6/8/2025 - FILENAME AND SUB-FOLDER UPDATE!

Don't forget to delete the older version if you had it. This one has a different filename and a different folder hierarchy and will not prompt you to overwrite the older version.

🐞 3/4/2025 #2 - I NOTICED UNRELATED ISSUES WHILE MAKING THIS.

I figured I should make a note of this so I don't forget.

I mentioned encountering routing errors some time ago when I WooHoo'd an elder into an early grave - hay, they went smiling - and could not plead with Grim for their life because I kept getting routing errors when trying to talk to Grim.

Now I've encountered more while creating this BAND-AID. EP16's cuddle interactions kept failing repeatedly during testing. Something ain't right somewhere.

🚀 3/4/2025 #1 - INITIAL RELEASE!

For now, this will suffice, but I might overhaul this in the future if I can make it better.

⚡ 3/3/2025 #2 - CHATTING IS THE BEST OPTION, BUT...

ONE (1) of the cuddle options works! It's buggy and glitchy, but it makes the sims cuddle, THEN THEY FALL ASLEEP CUDDLING!

I WANT TO BELIEVE™ that I can iron out the buggy-ness and the glitchy-ness, but it will require significant Maximum Effort. It's also possible that I could BAND-AID this a different way by doing the thing that I keep avoiding, and that's modifying the ASM. I don't like fiddling with EAxis' ASM resources unless they're required for AnimXGenWear. Not to mention that unless I'm mistaken, the ASM for this is not where it's breaking.

I am frustrated that I am this close <MAKES HAND GESTURES> to having this the way I want it, but I can't yet achieve it. (╯'□')╯︵ ┻━┻

FIX YOUR !@#$, EAXIS!

⚡ 3/3/2025 #1 - I CAN STILL ONLY BAND-AID THIS.

For the life of me, I cannot figure out what the heck is preventing the ACTIVE sim from sleeping properly.

It's not just that the BUFF isn't being applied to the sim, because I got the damn BUFF to apply to the sim and they still refused to sleep! I even got the TARGET sim to sleep properly, but the ACTIVE sim just says "Nah! Sleeping is for !@#$%^&! I gon' lay here pretending to sleep until they leave, like a weirdo. They know where the door is. It has a big 'GET THE !@#$ OUT AND TAKE YOUR DAMN SUITCASE WITH YOU' sign on it." 😹

I can nuke the posture, which will break the animation and pop them out of bed, or preferably I can replace the posture with one that transitions them out of bed, like a sim would normally get out of bed.

I think I've finally found the bit of code I need to BAND-AID this from a different angle that doesn't require me nuking the posture and breaking the animation.

I've successfully forced the two sims to chat with each other after WooHoo.

Unlike breaking the posture and jarringly popping them out of bed, it's proper transition from the "fake" sleep posture into a sitting or standing posture then chatting with the other sim. I'd have liked to make them cuddle in bed but I'll settle for chatting if I can't make the cuddle work.

The modifications that took me "this long" to cobble together should be simple for someone who knows this code and the internal functions, SO WHY THE !@#$ IS THIS STILL BROKEN?!

✮ // ⋆ 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.
