Butler Tuning Mods

I have given up actually on trying to get my butler to take care of the bees, he had developed an addiction and wouldn't step away until he was able to sleep standing up and would then rush to bed while Bonehilda was getting drunk. Such happy memories :p But I was asked for a variant of my mod so I might as well make a page for the butlers mod too.

 Important: If you already have hired a butler when installing this mod, you will have to call to cancel then rehire one.

Those use the Butler_0x73683c721c7a4bf4 XML file, only use one of those:

• Butler won't cook or disappear [Patch 1.55 / compatible 1.67]
• Butler won't disappear [Patch 1.67]

Pets Tuning Mods

 I love my pets! They might drive you crazy, and yet how can you not go Awwww?!
I can almost feel the moodlet acting on me too when I watch what some of my pets do.
They are adorable little demons balls of fur.

- Here is the main list, see each separately for different flavors (if available) -

All Pets

Less roaming around town (Requested)

Cats

Dogs

No/Less autonomous 'Sniff out collectable'

Horses












You might want to check those:

bluegenjutsu: Minor Pets Age, Escape, Feeding Tweaks
gesimz: 23 Autonomous/Automatic Pet Interaction Disablers 
Nona: No Autonomous Fill Pet Bowl
Twoftmama: Pets Won't Visit Community Lots
Twoftmama: Slow Pet Motive Decay

Less roaming around town (Requested) [Patch 1.63 / compatible 1.67]

All my pets tuning mods can be found on this page.

Have you noticed how pets end up all around town? Visiting bars, going to the beach, ...
This mod is going to discourage pets with the following traits to wander around town:
- Clueless Pet
- Lazy Pet
- Lazy Horse
- Nervous Pet
- Shy Pet
- Skittish Pet

And those, but less so they might still go out:
- Gentle Pet
- Loyal Pet
- Quiet Pet

Download:
Pets_Less roaming around town for patch 163

 This mod will conflict with any mod that change those files:
VisitCommunityLot_Lot ITUN
VisitDiveLot_Lot ITUN
GoToLot_Lot ITUN
GoOutside_Lot ITUN
VisitLot_Lot ITUN

 If you have another mod modifying any of those files, let me or the other creator know and one of us should be able to make another 'flavor' with different combination.

 This is a tuning mod and shouldn't conflict with any Core mod.

Notes:
- I suggest using either the No or Less autonomous 'Sniff out collectable' mod along with it.

- The strays seem to go around happily and do not seem to be affected, but let me know if you notice something with them. If they have one of those traits you can also use NRAAS Master Controller to change their traits.
Master Controller > Advanced > Traits

- I noticed that sims tend to go out and take their pets with them, place them down on a random community lot then let them on their own, which includes coming back home.

- And finally, keep in mind that pets with traits like adventurous, independent and such will still go out. I did not want to stop ALL pets from going out on their own, just limit it.

HUGE thank to Carla for testing!

Last update 15/01/2015: Compatible with patch 1.67

No/Less autonomous 'Sniff out collectable' [Patch 1.63 / compatible 1.67]

 It took me a while to find this screenshot, so I ended up posting a lot of them in Tumblr.

All my pets tuning mods can be found on this page.

Onto the mods: pick up ONE flavor only and place it in your Mods folder.

No Autonomous Sniff Out Collectable for patch 1.63 
With this dogs won't do this autonomously.

Less Autonomous Sniff Out Collectable for patch 1.63
For this one I greatly reduced the advertisement so dogs should do it less often.

This mod will conflict with any mod that changes theSniffOutCollectableAndReturn_Terrain ITUN.

 If you have another mod modifying this file, let me or the other creator know and one of us should be able to make another 'flavor' with different combination.

 This is a tuning mod and shouldn't conflict with any Core mod.

Bills [Patch 1.55 & 1.63 / compatible 1.67]

 There is only two 'flavors' to this for now, and it's either no bills at all or normal bill but only once a week delivered on Friday (so overall you only pay half). Chose either one or the other.
I might make later half/twice the normal price, just for the fun of it. Three times higher? Better get a good job...

 This mod will conflict with any mod that changes the Mailbox_0x894944a6dad4a2cf XML file.

 If you have another mod modifying this file, let me or the other creator know and one of us should be able to make another 'flavor' with different combination.

 This is an XML mod and shouldn't conflict with any Core mod.

Weather Stone Map Tag [Patch 1.55 & 1.63 / compatible 1.67]

EDIT: After reinstalling my game I must have installed something somehow conflicting because my mod stopped working. I have tried fixing it and even remaking it for 167 even though it was not needed but so far I cannot find the cause, so I found a way to stop it from respawning it in game with NRAAS Traveler
From City Hall or a Computer>NRaas>Traveler>Allow Spawn Weather Stone - Set to False

This is the first mod I made. I was using Shimrod's up to the point where I installed Paradise Island, and then even though it was for the correct patch it was causing the dive spots tags to disappear from the town view.

 With this mod, the weather stone tag will still appear when you start your game, come back from buy mode/edit town mode, ... for about a minute, then it will disappear. However it will still be on the town view so you won't lose track of where it is.

 This mod will conflict with any mod that changes the MapTags XML file.
