Mod help: Master Controller

[DeBlue]

It seems like you can't post on the official Sims forum without some kind of authorization through a points system... Anyway, if anyone uses the Master Controller mod, how do you go about making the AI repair broken things like shower and toilets etc.? I don't understand why having the AI clean the house is a thing but not repairing? My AI family has soon been going for 2 weeks of game time with the toilet having a broken shower and sink. It's riddiulous how they go to mop the puddles up but don't consider fixing the leakage or whatever lol.

If anyone knows, that would be great. I googled about this but found nothing.

For your own household, you have to make them do it. To my knowledge, Master Controller does not contain a function that will make anyone in your household autonomously repair anything. When they work right, a butler will repair stuff, but they don't always work right. The DebugEnabler mod will let you change an item's status from clogged/broken to normal (or the other way around) with just a few mouse clicks, though.

I see, thanks. But you have to agree that it's a bit strange with all the AI changes yet not this. Yeah I only play one sim in the household so I just use the cheat to repair all the things and no one gets any skills from it so it's somewhat fair.

MasterController doesn't change sim AI at all. It just provides commands for you to use in the game. To use MC to repair everything on the lot click on the ground>NRaas>MasterController>Repair All.

If you want your sim to repair something you need to select the sim and click on the broken object and choose the option to repair. Sims with the Handy trait might repair things autonomously; I never wait though I just command them to do it.

If you don't want to cheat then have your sim call for a repairman NPC from the Services option on the phone.

You can "Add Upgrade" using DebugEnabler and there's one to make it unbreakable.

Eh. It does change the way the town goes about, makes AI able to level up skills etc. I would argue it does change it. Yes that is the command or cheat I was referring to.

Dude what? You're telling me about making your sims do basic actions? Really? You seem to be mireading me alot or interpreting it very off the mark for I said the AI not me. Besides, I am playing as a child atm who does not have the ability to repair and even then I wouldn't like to do ALL the repairing manually. Why can't the AI repair but can clean?

Again, you're misreading me. I already told you that I use a cheat to repair all the things, see "I just use the cheat to repair all the things".

I appreciate you trying to help but your'e no helping at all, instead your trying to correct me on wheter the AI is changed or not when it certainly changes things about the AI. As well as misreading me alot and saying very unneccesary things.

No, MasterController does not change the sims' AI. I've used MC for years. It has commands that let you level up a sims' skill, but doesn't affect their ability to do anything by themselves. NRaas StoryProgression will level up skills for inactive sims which are required for their jobs, but it doesn't necessarily push sims to actually do the activity.

You said your active household was a 'family', so I assumed you were playing with at least an adult or young adult present. If you are playing a child only household then yes, your sim can't repair anything, and inactive sims generally don't repair anything either in my experience, unless they have the Handy trait and even then I hardly ever see a sim repair anything. Probably because EA assumed most people would have a teen or older sim in the household to do that.

I was baffled by why you would allow a family to go for "for 2 weeks of game time with the toilet having a broken shower and sink." Honestly, your post reads like you don't know basic game mechanics and I can only know what you actually wrote on the post. Now that I know you are playing a child only household your post makes much more sense.

It sounded like you didn't want to use cheats and were trying to figure out how to repair items. So I suggest how to do that. I apologize for trying to be helpful. I won't make that mistake again.

The only problem I had with you was unnessecary information like it not being AI, some technical coding or whatever that is compleatly irrelevant and has no bearing on wheter you can make AI repair stuff and if not, how that is kind of if not very strange. That was all.
