The following are all known mods listed for the creator Lamare. If any mods aren’t working or more mods by this creator are found, please use the contact page to email me.
1.) AL Social Groups for Playables – Found in the Social Group Mods Category
This mod should help: if you put a specific object in the inventory of a playable sim, that sim will behave like it belongs to the assigned social group.
2.) Alarm clocks on low tables – Found in the Electronics Subcategory
This mod allows you to place alarm clocks (both cheap and expensive) on low (coffee) tables too.
3.) Beauty Wish will not bring visitors at night anymore – Mod is listed under the following categories:
// Match Maker Mods Subcategory
// Romance Mods Category
Wishing for Beauty has the side effect that visitors will ring your doorbell every 4 hours, day and night. This mod prevents them to visit your sims between 10 pm and 8 am. Everything else still works the way it’s designed to.
4.) Bring friends home more often – Mod is listed under the following categories:
// Outgoing Personality Mods Subcategory
// Shy Personality Mods Subcategory
The probability a sim brings friends home from work or school depends on his/her personality and a fixed probability value. If the sim is 0 or 1 points shy, will almost never bring friends home, and the overall probability is not very high (25% from work and 35% from school). These two hacks raise these probability values to 75% for all sims with 2 or more points in outgoing personality. Your sims will bring friends home almost every day; notice that any household member will be affected, till the “maximum visiting sims” limit, so you have to consider also this, in your calculations. The default limit should be 4, unless you’ve raised it already with some hack or cheat code.
5.) CAS history available for any non-playable sim – Found in the NPC Mods Category
Townies and NPCs are usually processed by the game the first time they show up in a lot: they are assigned a “CAS history”, that means a bunch of various initialization options in wants/fears, memories, etc.
The most visible result is the group of Mystery Sim memories: first kiss and stuff, but there are also a few subtle modifications; usually a sim which hasn’t received a CAS history will sport a bit more difficult refresh in their wants/fears panel, with empty slots and annoying stuff like this. When Bon Voyage was released, programmers will modify the code so BV tourists, locals and Bigfoot too will receive the appropriate CAS history, but they always forget to include the Garden Club members in Seasons, and later the Hobby Mavens in Free Time and Social Groups in Apartment Life.
6.) Cheapsuit female and slicksuit male Career Outfits replacements (NOT custom)
These files are replacements for 2 career standard outfits; they’re NOT custom outfits, as they replace the work outfit with another base game outfit.
7.) Chinese Food box on counters only – Found in the Delivery & Community Lot Food Mods
No more Chinese food on end tables in bedrooms, desks or elsewhere but on kitchen’s counters.
8.) Don’t wash dishes in my bathroom! – Found in the Hygiene & Water Mods Category
In a nutshell, it prevents sims from dish washing in all sinks but 2, usually put in kitchen counters. If no dishwasher is present, or is busy, sims will dispose dishes in the trash, instead of walking to the en-suite bathroom on the third floor.
9.) Espresso and Coffee Makers not on counters only – Found in the Coffee Mods Subcategory
This is a global mod which affects all the Espresso and Coffee Makers in game, except for custom ones (with their own GUID). You may now place these appliances on tables and end tables as well. Please note that the “making coffee” animation is complex and it may look weird at some angles of view, mostly because of the different height of surfaces, and the inevitable disalignment between sims animation path and object vertical placement.
10.) Faster tip jar pick up – Found in the Music & Dance Mods Subcategory
Sims will perform autonomously (instruments or freestyle) as usual, with the tip jar, but when they came to end, money (if tipping was successful) will be processed normally – and relative wants satisfactions will work too – but the tip jar will simply vanish as soon as they reach its location.
No more animations, no moaning, just grab those simoleons and shut up.
11.) Gender preference – alternative way to play with – Found in the Gender & Sexuality Mods Subcategory
This mod slightly alters the way gender preference works in romantic socials, as per the comparison scheme below.
In default behavior, sims will not autonomously do romantic socials unless target sim already has a compatible gender preference.
Example: a gay male sim will not try to flirt with another male sim, even if both are in love each other, unless the target sim is gay or bisexual too.
With this mod, the gay sim will flirt autonomously with target sim, either he’s gay, bisexual or straight. With this mod, crush and love will trigger only in correct gender preference sim.
Example: A gay male sim flirts with a straight male sim, they have relationship score 100/100. In default behavior, both will fall in love – i.e. will have crush and love flags. With mod, only the gay sim will fall in love, while the straight one will not.
12.) Make out _IS_ a romantic social, dammit! – Found in the Romance Mods Category
Bug existing since the base game: while all the other kisses trigger the crush or love in sims, if their relationship points are high enough, the makeout one does not.
13.) Marriage: Last Name Chooser – Found in the Wedding & Engagement Mods Subcategory
This is intended as a further developement of J.M. Pescado’s marriage-traditional hack.
When two sims get married/joined, the “marriagee” always get the same last name than the active sim (the “marriager”), who did the proposition. With this mod, you may choose what to do in single marriages, independently by gender and selectivity of sim spouses. Just after the marriage, a dialog will pop up: you may choose to make no change (both sims will retain their last names), have them both the marriagee (shown in dialogs icon), or marriager one (“other sim”).
14.) More points for woohoo with professors – Found in the University NPC’s Subcategory
This mod gives a student 500 points instead of 100, so that guy/gal will have at least enough points to pass the exam without classes or homework.
15.) More walkbys every day – Found in the Visitor Mods Subcategory
Walkbys are those sims which walk on sidewalk, sometimes, in front of a played lot: they read or steal newspaper, steal gnomes, stretch, jog, or simply wander a bit around. If you greet them, they became visitors and so on. The game schedules 4 walkbys/day, at 10, 14, 16 and 18 (10am, 2pm, 4pm, 6pm), and performs various checks to determine which ones, from hood sims pool, are best choices. These checks involve neighborhood type, presence of children, known/friend flags, and some other stuff I honestly didn’t managed to understand to a fully extent. This hack changes the walkbys parade’s scheduling from a fixed-hours-base to a daily hour range.
16.) No Apartment Noises – Found in the Apartment Mods Subcategory
This mod eliminates the issue completely, everywhere and forever (er… until you take it out your downloads folder).
17.) Outdoor lamps on till dawn mod – Found in the Lighting Mods
This mod turn off outdoor lights only at dawn (7 am); it’s a global mod and it affects any lamp positioned outdoor (garden, street, etc.)
18.) Pizza box on counters only – Found in the Delivery & Community Lot Food Mods Subcategory
All pizza boxes in game can be put on desks and tables no more: only on counters or on the floor/ground. This means that if all counters are busy, sims will drop pizza box on the floor.
19.) Romantic Flags Batch Cleaner – Found in the Romance Mods Category
This hacked object allows you to wipe out all crush, love and go steady flags your selected sim has with every other sim in neighborhood, even dead ones, in both ways (clears SimA->SimB flags and corresponding SimB->SimA ones automatically). Please note that this object specifically operates in batch, on the whole neighborhood; if you need to wipe romantic flags with specific sims only, you have to use another mod that allows you to set/clear any flag on a single basis.
20.) Same energy gain for any bed – Found in the Bed/Bedroom Mods Subcategory
Children will have a fixed energy gain rate of 28 per hour, corresponding to the catalog value of 3, like the Caress of Teak bed. Teens, adults and elders will have an energy gain rate of 40 per hour, corresponding to a catalog value of 8-9, like the most expensive beds (Majestically Medieval and such). In conclusion, you can have e.g. an adult and a child share the same bed and refill their energy bar at a different rate, regardless the luxury of the bed itself: Colonial Ironwood bed has a built-in energy rating of 6, but the dad will gain energy like it were 9, and its son like it were 3.
– It’s a a global mod, therefore it works the same on every neighborhood and lot.
– It provides the same energy gain rate on any bed in game, regardless they’re Maxis or custom, overriding their settings.
– Children have a different (slower) energy gain rate, compared to adults, teens and elders.
– Comfort gain rate, on the other hand, is not modified: it will be the original one, built in with the bed.
– The energy rating value advertised in the catalog will still be shown as the original value, but it will matter no more.
21.) SmartMilk Maker not on counters only – Found in the Reward Catalog Mods Subcategory
This global hack modifies the placement of all the smart milk makers, so they will be placeable on counters, but on tables and end tables alike.
