Social Availability Fix

When you click on another Sim, the game uses several tests to check what social interactions should appear in the menu. For some reason, one of these tests appears to be slightly broken when checking the Friendly relationship. Sims with a relationship between 25 and 60 get the maximum bonus, while very good friends with a relationship between 60 and 100 get no bonus at all. 

This meant that certain interactions with a high "availability" requirement would show up for acquaintances but disappear when the Sims became good friends. In my game and others', this meant that interactions like "Ask to Turn (into a Vampire)" and "Share Secret" were not available to good friends.

This mod fixes the the test so that regular friends get a small bonus and good friends get the maximum bonus, and thus returns high level social interactions to their proper place.

Townie Population Standalone Fix

This addresses a long-standing issue where, depending on which packs are installed, townies will all spawn in a small handful of Worlds and use a relatively small number of repetitive names. The mod evens out the population quotas for each World so townies are spread out and use more namesets. 

This fix is already included in Home Regions and Townie Demographics, so it is unnecessary to install this if you have either of those installed.

Espresso Fix

(Requires Get Together)

This is a fix for a long-standing bug that my friend mangoninja told me about. Sims who order the espresso "For Here" at cafes or drink them in their own home would get a small boost of Energy but would not get the moodlet they were supposed to. It appears that these drinks were checking the wrong drinking interaction and wouldn't give the moodlet to Sims unless they were seated. This mod changes it so drinking coffee in any posture setting will give Sims the correct moodlet.

Music Mood Fix

(Requires Get Famous)

This mod changes all moodlets from songs made at a music production station to 1 Happy instead of any another mood. 

These moodlets are supposed to reflect the mood of the Sim who made the song at the time it was made, but it never seemed to work right in my game and I was tired of everyone getting an Angry moodlet with a smiley face icon from a song they seemed to like.

Bouncer Fix

(Requires Get Famous)

This mod fixes an issue that would cause Bouncer NPCs to take hours at times to show up for work if you arrived to the lot in the middle of their shift. With this installed, they will show up at all times of the day.

Gym Paparazzi Fix

(Requires Get Famous)

This mod fixes the weird Paparazzi NPCs who always show up to Gym lots even when no celebrities are present. They would always end up idling and sitting around with nothing to do. With this installed, they will only show up if a sufficiently famous Sim is on the lot somewhere.

Mascots What Are You Doing

(Requires Discover University)

This is a fix for an issue with some university events where mascots are supposed to be present. They are supposed to walk around and eventually make their way to the stadium, but unfortunately both their spawn point and exit point are both set to the stadium, so instead they spawn in and despawn immediately. If you aimed the camera near the stadium, you could see the mascots flicker in and out of existence many times during the course of the event. This mod changes the spawning behavior of mascots in four different situations so they start off in a better place and spend time in the world before exiting.

Recycler & Fabricator Move Fix

(Requires Eco Lifestyle)

This mod fixes a bug where an error occurs if you move a Recycler or Fabricator while in Build Mode without an active household. 

Computer Security Fix

(Requires High School Years)

A few interactions introduced in the High School Years expansion pack lack the code which checks for computer password settings. As a result, teens could access computers that they would otherwise be locked out of and even autonomously use them to perform some school related interactions.

This mod adds the relevant tests to these interactions.
