Personal Objects (Computer, Tablets & more)

 REQUIRES THE XML INJECTOR MOD

Personal Objects (Computer, Tablets & more)

Set a Computer and more to your personal Object and no other Sim is allowed to use it!

How this Mod works:

The following Objects can be claimed by Sims

• Computer, Laptops & Tablet
• Motion Gaming Rigs,  Arcade Machine & Gaming Consolen
• Easels
• Music Instruments (Guitar, Violin, Piano, portable Keyboard)
• Pet Bowls
• TV
• Toilets & Sinks
• Showers & Bathtubs
• Chairs
• Bookshelfs
• Fridges*, Stoves & Grills
• Stereos
• Workout Equipment

Be aware this does prevent other Sims from using certain Items but it will not make the Sim who claimed the Object use it favoritely. I do not recommend claiming all Dining Chairs for each Sim because Sims will first put food down and then check if they can sit on the Chair. So only claim one Chair for the Mother only for example. Some Interactions are still available on Toilets, Sinks, Showers & Bathtubs so other Sims can still clean, repair them etc.

*Claiming a fridge:

Be aware, fridges do share inventories that means food inside is locked as soon as one fridge on the lot is claimed, no matter if other fridges are unclaimed! So when a hungry sim (or when you use auto solve hunger) does not have access to a fridge they will not be able to get food from other fridges or switch to autonomously cooking instead. I recommend to claim a fridge for the whole household, so only NPCs are blocked. Sims are still able to grab a serving or consume food that is outside fridges or when no fridges are claimed on the lot. Keep that in mind when you have NPC roommates. Known Issue: There are cases where the game does not recognize the connection between the food inside a fridge and the fridge as the correct inventory owner subject. If that happens my tests will be bypassed and the sim can take the food. Moving the food in the fridge will reset the correct subject connection. This is not something I can fix unfortunately.

To Claim an Object use the new Interaction “Claim…” on those Objects

Added a new Pie Menu “Access rights for {ObjectName}” to those Objects which is available for the owner and adds three new Interactions:

• Set {ObjectName} to be usable for everyone
  This will make the Object available for all Sims again.
• Allow access for
  Allow more Sims to use the Object. Sims must be on the Lot to be choosable.
• Access is no longer allowed for
  Removes the “Account” for Sims so they cannot use the Object anymore. Sims must be on the Lot to be choosable.

Extras:

• I added a rename Option to all those Objects so you can rename them

Mod Compatibility:

• CC Objects that use the original ingame Object Tunings are compatible.
• Mods that add new Custom Interactions to Objects are partly compatible which means those Interactions show up no matter if the Object is set to public or personal.
• Mods that are 100% compatible and therefore show only up if the Object is set to public or if the Sim is allowed to use it are…

Computer/Tablet:

• My own Mods     
• MC Command

Easel:

• Andrews more Craftables

Optional Add-ons

Add-on which hides the Mod Interactions behind the “Shift Click” in-game

***

Recommendation:

If you allow non Household Members to use those Objects and want to set it back to the public I recommend removing the Access for those before doing so.
