Some new hacks

[damondamore]

I made these for myself, but you know... though I would share.

One is a tweak to the SimLogical timed food serving trays for use on away lots.

Another is a place for sims to leave their dishes, so they don't try to use sinks when away. It also allows up to (about) 10 dishes to be cleaned up into it at home before it has to be cleaned up / emptied. This might be suitable for themed play, when you don't want your upper class sims to wash their own dishes (they can kindly leave them on the side for the maid...).

Both will work if cloned.

Thanks for sharing, Damon!👍  That dish hack should be especially useful -- my Sims have always had a thing for throwing their dirty dishes on the floor.  Now, they can be forced to leave them on the counter.😄

I'm just going to bump this thread with another new thing...

white.leadpipecollection.net/sims1.php#dd_extrajanitor

It will spawn an extra janitorial NPC to help clean up your community lots.

Another thing

(oh and you can make it invisible, too!)

white.leadpipecollection.net/sims1.php#dd_dineherepainting

Tossing that "Uprorarious Salad of Life" this painting can be used to encourage sims to serve into and eat in that particualr room. If you place multiple paintings it will act as a sort of toggle, with one room being the prefered eating room and it will discourage the other rooms (until you change the settings). Sims may still eat in the discouraged rooms, but it will be much less attractive for them to do so.

When not at home, place this last in a room (particularly after the tables and chairs) to encourage sims to eat in that room. It does not support the toggle functionality.

Update: By request you can now control where your sims try and wish dishes in a similar way: white.leadpipecollection.net/sims1.php#dd_washherepainting

Thank you. Great ideas by the way!

Continuing this thread with my plug-in-able fridge

white.leadpipecollection.net/sims1.php#PluginFridge

Basically, it accepts custom foods and you can pick what you want your sims to eat. Children can use microwaves and toaster ovens as well as get and serve the instant meals-in-a-can.
