Sim Seating Control

Sims 4 Seating Control v2.0.0 

Take control of your Sims’ seating habits!

Ever wished your Sims would just stop sitting down in the middle of a dramatic scene or during a filming session? With this mod, you control the narrative. It’s exactly what you need if you’re tired of Sim butts in all the wrong places.

• Grant or revoke sitting permission for any Sim
• Works on both active households and NPC Sims
• Perfect for storytellers and useful for managing Sim behavior in crowded spaces

Installation: Just place the LSB_SimSeatingControl FOLDER in your Mods folder.
Choose the optional packages to your liking:
- LSB_SimSeatingControl_Optional_BrewerTunings
- LSB_SimSeatingControl_Optional_RelPanel
- LSB_SimSeatingControl_Optional_SimPicker 

Requires the XML Injector script (make sure script mods are enabled).
For Optional_Simpicker interactions testingcheats must be on, or use TwistedMexi's "Always Testing" script mod.


Optional Tunings:
To stop Sims from sitting after pouring coffee or tea from a brewer, the mod includes an optional override for those 'Generic_Consume' tuning files. This addon may conflict with other mods that edit the same files.
Huge thanks to amellce for helping me work this one out!


Notes:
When you disallow sitting, the mod adds a hidden buff to the Sim via an invisible trait. Since the trait is saved with the Sim, the buff is automatically reapplied whenever they enter a new zone and remains active across lot changes and save states until you update their sitting behavior again.


The main interactions can be found under the "Actions" pie menu.
Optional_RelPanel shows the interactions by clicking on a portrait in the Relationship Panel.
Optional_SimPicker can be accessed by shift-clicking on the ground, to add or remove the behavior from multiple Sims on the current lot.

This mod pairs well with Steady Sit & Seat Any Sim by amellce.
The "Steady Sit" command will override the sitting options controlled by my mod.

If you run into any issues, feel free to reach out for support.
