Everything Sims 2

1.) Food Dish Autonomy by BoilingOil

One of three known put away left over food mods. Designed to be compatible with MogHughson‘s version. In this version there are several updates.
– Sims sitting down will not get up to store leftovers or wash dishes.
– Any lot where there are Dorm cooks, Sims will not try to store leftovers.
– Sims will collect up to seven plates instead of the default of five.

2.) Get Leftovers Fix by BoilingOil

Stops other Sims from taking your food once you’ve taken it out of the fridge. As of 2015 this mod has been discontinued for any tech support. Read below for other similar leftover fix mods if this doesn’t work for you like Cyjon’s No Food Theft.

3.) No Fresh Food by BoilingOil

This mod kills the Fresh Food bonus on ALL foods containing fresh ingredients. Previously prepared food will immediately lose their bonus, and newly prepared food never gets the bonus. Away with those sparklies!

4.) Call To Meal Fix by Cyjon

Call to Meal no longer calls servos, plantsims, babies, toddlers or on-the-job NPCs. People will respond to plates anywhere on the property, not just in the same room as the platter.

5.) More Dishes by Cyjon

Sims pick up more dishes when clearing the table. EA logic – A serving consists of 7 dishes (6 plates plus the platter) so let’s limit the number of dishes when cleaning up to 5. Cyjon logic – Let’s increase the limit to equal the number of dishes that are likely to be present. That way players don’t have to issue the command twice.

6.) No Chair Shooing by Cyjon

This mod lowers the priority of the “move” command directed at sims blocking chairs from being scooted out. The move command will now clear autonomous actions but not mess with user-directed commands. Among other things, this allows sims to “wait for food” without messing up meal service.

7.) No Influence Instant Meals by Cyjon

When you influence a sim to make a meal, the target will actually make something and not just pull out instant meals.

8.) No Table Platters by Cyjon

Sims no longer put serving platters on eating surfaces such as dining tables or counter islands.

9.) Smarter Food Serving by Cyjon

Sims will be more logical when deciding how many servings to lay out on the table. Served meals still have the normal 6 servings, but individual plates will not be put out for:
– Sims at work or otherwise off the property
– Penguins
– NPC’s like the Maid, Gardener or Butler while they are working
– Sleeping Sims
– Servos & other robots
– Plant Sims
– Ungreeted Guests
– Babies
– Ghosts

10.) Better locations for food serving and dropping by Dickhurt

Have you noticed Sims walking far distances all over the lot to find places (counters/tables) to put serving platters on, especially on apartment lots? How about the Sim who prepares a meal in their apartment and then serves it up on the rooftop tables instead of on the tables in their own apartment? This hack will eliminate most bizarre and unrealistic behaviors such as that.

11.) Better locations for eating by Dickhurt

The hack forces Sims to choose more realistic locations to eat their food. It prevents them from wandering far distances just to sit at a specific table. So now your Sims won’t walk 10,000 feet up 4 floors to the far corner of the roof, if that is the only place where a table can be found that’s not in-use.

For food located within an apartment, forces the food to be eaten inside of that apartment. This means that Sims are not allowed to take the food out to communal areas. They must find a place to eat within the current apartment, or else they will have to eat standing up within that apartment. Food located in communal areas is not affected by this feature.

The feature above does allow a Sim to eat in a neighbor’s apartment, instead of taking the food all the way back to their own apartment to eat in solitude like a weirdo. This lets your Sims enjoy a meal with a neighbor at that neighbor’s apartment, instead of “stealing” a plate and running back home to eat it.

For all lots, will only choose eat locations that are 15 or less tiles away. If no chairs are available within that distance or if all of them are in-use, then the Sims will eat while standing up. The hack will work for all eating interactions of Maxis objects such as Serve a Meal, Grab a Plate, Get Leftovers, Pizza & Chinese Takeout eating, Get Snacks from Fridge, etc. It should work for most custom objects too, except for ones cloned from the Maxis Chinese Takeout boxes (single servings).

12.) Call to meal fixes and place setting fixes by Dickhurt

This hack changes the behavior of the “Call To Meal” interaction and of the place setting logic. When a Sim serves a meal, individual plates or bowls are set down at any available tables for all of the Sims (and greeted visitors) in the household. These are the “Place Setting” fixes:
– No longer sets a place for toddlers, since they are too young to eat adult food anyways (and they can not sit at a table either – only a high-chair)
– No longer sets a place for plantSims or servos, since they don’t need to eat human food (they lack a hunger motive)
– No longer sets a place for dead Sims (ghosts)
– No longer sets a place for sleeping Sims
– No longer sets a place for Sims that aren’t hungry (60%+ hunger motive)
– Prevents serving “toddler mush” to plantSims toddlers
– For meals prepared in communal areas of apartment lots, sets a place for all family members, guests, and apartment residents that are in communal areas
These are the “Call To Meal” fixes:
– No longer calls these Sims to the meal: plantSims, servos, toddlers, ghosts, sleeping Sims, non-hungry Sims
– No longer sends Sims to empty plates/bowls to eat, since that just causes the interaction to get canceled
– Calls multiple Sims to a serving platter, instead of just 1 Sim
– While visiting a neighbor’s apartment, allows all Sims inside of that neighbor’s apartment to be Called To The Meal (instead of no one at all being called, as the game did by default).
– It also prevents grabbing plates/bowls from empty serving dishes, which was a glitch present in every EP/SP and the base game. It had usually occurred when 2 Sims each tried to grab a plate when only 1 serving was left. The game let each one grab a plate, with the last one coming from an empty platter.

13.) Take Off Aspiration Rewards Before Eating by Dickhurt

This is an addon meant to be used with the “Twins fixes and serve meal fix” hack. But this “addon” is actually standalone too, meaning it doesn’t really need “Twins fixes and serve meal fix” to be installed. The addon supplements the “take off aspiration rewards before eating” feature of the main hack. It allows the rewards to be removed in even more situations than the main hack does. Those extra situations are defined below:
– getting snacks and cans from a fridge
– buying snacks and cans from a vending machine
– eating snacks already on the lot
– drinking from cans already on the lot
– eating pizza
– eating Chinese takeout food

Neither the main hack nor this addon will take off rewards for:
– drinking coffee or espresso or hot chocolate
– drinking lemonade from a lemonade stand
– drinking juice from a juice stand
– drinking liquor or juice from a bar
– drinking a glass of water
– drinking from a toasting set

14.) Twins fixes and serve meal fix by Dickhurt

It prevents servo robots and plantSims from grabbing a plate after serving a meal, because both of those types of Sims lack a hunger motive. It forces Sims to take off Aspiration Rewards before eating, since leaving them on just wastes the rewards’ abilities (meaning the amount of charge remaining).

15.) Breakfast at Midnight by Dizzy2

Eat whatever you want anytime you want as long as you know how to cook what you want.

16.) Smarter Food Serving by Dizzy2

To make your sims serve only intelligent meals, this hack changes how “serve” works. It basically forces the sim to produce single/group meals when appropriate. Allows sims to autonomously “Have” a meal if they only really need one meal. Otherwise, “Have” is not autonomous. Children can now prepare and cook multiple meals (they just won’t actually serve them–sims have to grab a plate from the stack). Children are not be able to autonomously serve meals.

17.) Autonomous Have Meal fix for Apartment Life by Kestrellyn

In an attempt to make it so that sims wouldn’t autonomously have a single-serving meal from their apartment neighbors’ refrigerators, EA accidentally made it so that sims wouldn’t autonomously have a single-serving meal from any refrigerator that wasn’t in an apartment. This hack fixes it so that sims can once again autonomously make single-serving meals from non-apartment refrigerators.

18.) Autonomous Put Away Leftovers by MogHughson

This mod makes the Put Away Leftovers interaction on plates and bowls autonomous. This mod is an alternative version to the same mod by creator Ancient Highway, which is much smaller, a global change instead of a default replacement and thus will be less likely to clash with other mods, and is much smaller in your downloads folder. Another alternate version of this mod by BoilingOil can be found here.

19.) Simply Leftovers by MogHughson

This package changes the behavior of “Put Away Leftovers” when used on a group plate. There are two modes now for group plates as shown in the link. Once put away the leftovers are stored in the way you chose. You cannot change single plates back into a group plate again. In other words the decision is made at “Put Away” time.

20.) Eating And Serving Control by Sim Logical

This is to control, on a room by room basis, where your Sims eat at various times of the day, and whether they can use the tables and/or counters in a room to serve meals onto, and to put things down on.  To control counters you need the counter patch and the controller; to control tables you need the table patch and the controller; to control both, you need all three.  In rooms and lots where you do not have this controller, your counters and tables will behave normally. The menu is self-explanatory, except that when you disable eating for a particular time of day, it will automatically also disable serving for that time of day.  The separate “disable serving” setting is provided for flexibility – for example, if you wish the sims to be able to eat single meals at the kitchen breakfast bar, but eat all group family meals at the table. 
Morning=6am-noon, Afternoon = noon-6pm, Evening=6pm-midnitght, Night=midnight-6am

21.) Call To Dinner Servo & NPC by Squinge

23.) More Servings From Group Meals by Squinge

This mod changes the default group meal serving count from 6 to 12 & 100.

24.) Serve TV Dinner As Group Meal by Squinge

This mod allows sims to serve TV dinners as meals.

25.) Single Serving Foods by Squinge

This mod allows your sims to make single plates of the nectarine tartlette & cheese cake(you can still serve these deserts as normal).

26.) Stop Dropping Serving Platter by Squinge

This mod prevents sims from being forced to walk away & drop the serving platter while they are serving food.

27.) Take Off Accessories Before Eating by Squinge

This mod makes sims remove any accessories before eating any food; works with the thinking cap, cool shades, & noodlesoother.

28.) Take Off Accessories Before Eating Pizza by Squinge
Nightlife ll Seasons
