Description
Latest version XML INJECTOR IS REQUIRED for this mod to work.
I've been bothered by how Sims would hastily get up from chairs as soon as I told them to sit. That's why I made this mod as an attempt to alleviate the issue and provide a relatively more "steady" sitting experience.
This mod adds the following new interaction options:
- "Steady Sit" for chairs, pool edges, ground/floor, romantic blankets.
Allows Sims to sit down while restricting most of the autonomous interactions that might prompt them to stand up. This will help Sims stay put in their seats longer instead of hastily standing up or frequently changing seats. Sims can still initiate interactions available while sitting. - "Seat Sims Here" for chairs, dining tables with chairs attached, pool edges, ground/floor, romantic blankets. Allows you to select one or multiple Sims and have them sit on the clicked or nearby seats.
- "Seat All Diners" on the floor in restaurants.
Sims who have claimed tables will return to their seats and continue their dining process, while unassigned sims will sit at random seats in non-dining areas.
(All three of the above options will give Sims the same effect of stay seated longer as the "Steady Sit" option.) - "Leave Seat" for every Sim in steady sit state, allowing them to immediately stand up. Handy for getting multiple Sims to stand up.
OPTIONAL Add-ons:
Theoretically, Sims will stay seated for up to 240 Sim mins with the main mod. The add-ons provide alternative options of 60 / 120 / 180 / 360 mins. You can choose ONE and it will OVERRIDE the default 240.
Add-ons require the main mod to work. Need to download from the Additional Files section.
Note:
Despite the maximum duration, the Steady Sit effect is not overly forceful. Sims can still get up for various reasons such as:
- End of the maximum duration;
- Using "Leave Seat" option;
- Any interaction initiated from pie menu that requires Sims to stand like "Go Here" "Call Over" etc;
- Also, low motives, necessary reactions to the surroundings, or higher-priority interactions that haven't been restricted by the mod will cause Sims to end Steady Sit early and stand up.
This mod was created based on my usual playstyle and environment and it has helped my Sims remain seated for the maximum possible time. However it's not a one-size-fits-all solution, and its effectiveness may vary depending on situations and other mods installed that introduce new autonomous actions. You may find it works well or not so well in your environment. Unfortunately I haven't tested it at special events like weddings as I've never played that part of game. Feedback is appreciated if you'd like to give it a try.
