The Randomizer Mod

First off, sorry for the long read! It just does a lot of things! NOTE: Just to clear some confusion here, this is not the kind of randomizer mod you’ve seen done for GTA and games as such, where models get swapped by random, in a hilarious way… What this mod does instead is add more random events! Whether it be random deaths, disasters, or simply heart-warming moments, the mod provides it all!

Tell me a bit more about it

The mod (this is tunable) has a default value of 10 hours minimum and 72 hours maximum to trigger ONE event at the time. The game simply does a dice roll between 10 and 72 per turn to see how long your active household has to wait to experience an event happening. The events are carefully chosen though. The mod first checks whether the event has already been triggered previously AND there’s a 30 chance the mod accepts same-type events to happen, in cases, you only kept one module. (for example, say the game chooses the “Disaster” type, triggers a disaster event, and then rerolls yet again a disaster type, there’s a 30% the script will go with this, otherwise, it will quickly pick a different type.) That’s actually just the core mechanics of it Easy peasy!

Students who trigger any rumors now won’t be considered “Coworker”, but classmates (Thank you @HYDRO1st !)

Fixed a few missing STBL strings (Thank you HYDRO1st !)

Fixed some strange Russian language bugs (Thank you HYDRO1st !)

Events now come with their own “test” function, making it easier for the code to find events, without having to loop over itself 10 times.

Introduced a whole new system where things check whether an event can be fired every day, but uses the concept of “days to cooldown” for each module. (See “Tell me a bit more about it” and the rest of the description for more info).

Dialogue buttons with choices will now show “clamped”, but tooltips will show the full text. So make sure to hover over them! (See images)

Power outage & Water outage will now work!

Fixed an issue where the Power outage had a tendency of throwing errors if they didn’t have a proper “disable interaction” component.

Fixed an issue where the water leakage (where most sinks and stuff will break) now works correctly

Fixed an issue where friendship and enemy-related rumors (so non-work/school ones) will now show some or most of your sim’s friends/family/known sim’s reaction to the rumor (whether they disapprove/approve/neutral about it)

Fixed an issue where rumors had a tendency to fire 3 times at once. Meaning your sim had a 3x relationship penalty for no reason

Fixed an issue where the “share old objects” (specifically fish and seeds) had a problem with crashing the game because of an infinite loop. This no longer will happen.

Related to “Share Old Objects”, Worked more on trying to get certain objects to actually spawn in the sim’s Family inventory/actual inventory/ mailbox. For me, this works, but I’m not quite sure if it does for everyone.

Worked some more on a check on whether the world has valid social workers and if they can come around. Not 100% sure if this fixes the issue that people had before where the adoption service simply didn’t show up, but it may help!

Introduced a better “Debug Mode” in case anyone wants to gather more info on why a module/event didn’t fire. Or whether the mod works for them.

Fixed an issue where a null reference could occur when a sim was asking for advice or an NPC telling a rumor.

Regarding the advice, fixed an issue where one of the options showed up as the STBL string, rather than actual text.

Diseases will now have a better check on whether your sim already has a particular disease (this is excluding the “Minerva’s Revenge”, “Feeling Sad” and “can’t hold my laughter”).

It is now possible to tweak the XML (or through NRaas Retuner) to edit whether you want to be able to assign “Deadly diseases” or not.

Sims will not play a reaction when an earthquake happens (depending on their traits of course. Cowards will freak out and other traits may simply react annoyed). I hope in the future to make this more interesting.

Fixed an issue where friends of your sim would ask to have woohoo in a building. This is now fixed. Additionally, the sim will no longer get this popup whenever your sim isn’t at work.
