TESTERS WANTED [ W.I.P.]
I'm working on a Smart Home mod for The Sims 3. The PrismHome Hub mod is made to work with the game’s existing systems whenever possible, while adding new ways to control and automate the household lot.
Features include:
Security System Enable or disable a simple lot security system directly from the hub (Burglar Alarm).
Lighting System The Lighting System is based on a reverse-engineered version of the game’s own automatic lights behavior. Since the game already detects when a Sim enters a room and turns the lights on, PrismHome expands that logic by also detecting when Sims leave the room, allowing the lights to turn off automatically when the room becomes empty.
It also includes automatic outdoor lighting: outside lights turn on automatically at 6:00 PM and turn off automatically at 5:00 AM.
It also supports light intensity and color options using the game’s native light system, plus Night Mode, which lets players set a schedule for dimmer automatic lighting.
Sprinkler System Manage lot watering from the hub, with options to enable the system, water manually, stop watering, or set a watering schedule.
Maintenance System Includes Energy Saving, which turns off TVs and stereos when no household members are home, and Maintenance Alerts, which notifies the player when broken objects are found on the lot and an option to call a repairman.
Temperature System The Temperature System automatically reacts when Sims receive hot or cold temperature moodlets. If the system detects that a Sim is too hot, it cools the indoor environment; if the Sim is too cold, it warms the room instead.
When active, it uses the game’s own temperature comfort moodlets, such as Pleasantly Warm and Pleasantly Chilly, to make the indoor space feel more comfortable without replacing the game’s original temperature system completely.
Entertainment System If a compatible cinema screen is placed on the lot, PrismHome unlocks Cinema Mode. When Sims are watching, only the lights in the same room are turned off. But you need Large as Life Movie Screen from Le Cinema Plumbob.
If you want to test it, send me a message here, please.
