THIS MOD IS COMPATIBLE WITH MYSIMS COZY BUNDLE
This mod helps you add and remove custom sims to the hotel once you reach Star Level 2 (so it doesn't mess with the tutorial).Normally the game refreshes the list of sims that can appear in the hotel when you start a new save and every Star Level, meaning you can't add new sims once you reach Star Level 5, and you cannot remove them. The Desk Bell is a modified decoration with a script that forces a refresh.
You cannot remove a sim currently moved in and you can't add sims to the Uber Sims group. I recommend ringing the bell at night and without pending sims (sims you're inviting back in town).
Installation:
You can find these instructions included with the mod files, since you have to add the files manually I tried to make the instructions as straightforward as possible.
If you are using the original non-Taco Bell version you'll need to install the Lua Folder Patch or you won't be able to access the Lua folder files.
Instructions:
- Locate MySims "Lua" and "ObjectDefs" folders.
· Default path for original EA App version: Programs\EA Games\SimsRevData\GameData\Lua.· Default path for Cozy Bundle (Steam): Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\MySims\data\GameData\Lua. You can also right click MySims from the game list, go to manage>browse local files to reach the game path. - I recommend creating a backup of both your saves and GameData folder in case of corruption.
- Paste the contents of the A folder in Lua and the contents of B in ObjectDefs, confirm if/when asked if you want to replace some of the files in the folders.
- Run the game, the bell should be available in the player house and hotel.
Method 1 (you only have this mod):
- Remove your custom sims from Global_Hotel_MoveInPool.lua;
- Ring the bell one last time;
- Repair files through EA app/Steam/whatever.
Method 2 (lazy):
- Remove your custom sims from Global_Hotel_MoveInPool.lua;
- Ring the bell one last time;
- Open locDeco_Hotel_DeskBell.xml in ObjectDefs;
- Change the script from "locDeco_DeskBell" to "locDeco_base";
- The bell will stop working but the files are still there.
Method 3 (proper):
- Remove your custom sims from Global_Hotel_MoveInPool.lua;
- Ring the bell one last time;
- Open locDeco_Hotel_DeskBell.xml in ObjectDefs;
- Change the script from "locDeco_DeskBell" to "locDeco_base";
- Go to Lua and delete all the files containing "DeskBell" in the name + "Global_Hotel_RefreshPoolsMods.lua".
WARNING: Your custom sims will remain in the NPC book, there is a method to remove them but I don't really know how to explain it so just leave them there and don't touch their book entries.
