I'm so curious, what are you planning to do with the hotkeys?
Hi!
Just need auto-solving for now, so if you press B in Live Mode the selected Sim will find a toilet and queue the Use interaction, if you press H your Sim will find something to eat or cook, etc.
Modders will also be able to create their own mods that take advantage of keyboard inputs with RPCLib or Sims2RPC installed, so the sky is the limit really.
As for the progress, I've been working on the low level hotkey engine functionality. I've been putting off the BHAV cooking autonomy - script modders will understand my pain.
I'm having a very unique issue rn with DeSmuMe... I'm emulating something with a keyboard on the lower screen. I'm trying to figure out if I can hotkey the keyboard to my own so i can type in the emulation quickly (instead of using touch input). Any ideas how to achieve this?
Copy and Paste Trouble
The new copy and paste feature is just really awesome! I use it all the time now, I can hardly even remember when we didn't use to have it. Even in the early game, it's useful for planning, as placeholders and for laying out your base. You could do all that with blueprints of course, but it's just even more accessible and convenient now.
Being able to scroll through the last couple of things in your "clipboard" is also really great. Maybe it's just me, but I often think "oh, you need that thing again, the one you just used" and previously I would have already cleared my temporary blueprint and lost it. Thanks to the new feature, this is no longer a problem!
I also checked and in case you were wondering, the clipboard can hold up to the last twenty things you copied or cut. Also, the clipboard is saved per player (not globally, i.e. shared between saves) and is not temporary in the "is deleted on a restart" sense of the word. Here is the screenshot I took when checking the number of “slots” in the clipboard, in case you'd like to see the last twenty random things I used it for!
Normal blueprints can be edited when you create them, holding [shift] when you release the mouse will skip the blueprint-editing menu and make it right away. Since the copy function also gives you the "blueprint" right away, this feature is reversed: holding shift will let you edit the content of the entities you're trying to copy.
One thing you have to watch out for is the darn hotkey though! It's really easy to not hit the [shift] key properly and you end up with just [C]. Which, in case you forgot, is the hotkey for shooting at stuff, so you end up with a lot of situations like these ...
... or sometimes even these!
Luckily, you can customize basically all the controls in Factorio (which I really appreciate in a game!) and I decided to just turn that hotkey off. Shooting at nearby enemies is still [space], the [C] key is just for shooting at some specific target, whether it's an enemy or not. So it's rarely ever used anyway, unless you're shooting at a chest filled with junk to destroy it, because that's the only way to delete unwanted items.
So the new Copy Paste feature is awesome, just be careful with your hotkeys, especially when carrying a rocket launcher filled with nukes!

Hi there, do you remember the Sims stories Key-binds conversion your still doing. I wondered if you had made progress? Because we haven’t seen any new screenshots of it yet. Also you know the Pond & Sea Water Overhaul mod by Voeille, is it compatible with your RPC plug-in? I’m asking you this so that everyone can find out from that it’s fine by your words. Happy Simming!
Hi!
I do, of course :p I've been working on the "backend" side of it, such as making it more moddable, making keys not interfere during Buy/Build mode, etc. Which is why I haven't posted any progress on it. It is going pretty well now!
And yup, Voeille's mod is compatible with RPC.
