Just installed the Sims 3 patch or about to?

 Different/random weed mesh, possible?
#1
|
| Rosebine |
Just wondering here. It's probably possible to default the weed mesh/texture, like any other mesh & texture, but would it be possible to add different versions and have the game picking which one to spawn randomly? |

Not sure how the weeds work but if they work like the waterlily, then it should be possible to do that. Numenor has a waterlily clone template somewhere here at MTS, I used it to make flowers once and it was really easy to do. |

Except, the waterlily can be placed by the player, while the weeds are generated after a dog pees outside, on the grass...and aren't placeable by the player. Thank you.

PBK has a whole range of flowers that you can default the weeds into. Perhaps download the set and look at it in SimPE to see how they made it. I think it's by fracturedmoonlight/Frac. |

That shouldn't be a problem - the weeds are still an object just like a flower, they're just an object which is created by a BHAV instead of bought by the player. So making the object is no different, but integrating the randomness will require some BHAVing. It might even be easier not to default replace the weeds, but to create a set of weed objects and then override the game's BHAVs to pick one of the objects at random instead of always going for the EA original. |

Adding options to the default weed is what i am after, not defaulting it, and thank you all.

Yes it's possible to add multiple meshes to an object First, you must add the mesh name in the string ressource STR# 0x85 (Model - names) For example, let's say you add "plantBonsai" in the line number 2 Then if you trigger the following BHAV : prim 0x0002 Expression (Stack Object's default graphic := Literal 0x0002) prim 0x0002 Expression (Stack Object's graphic := Stack Object's default graphic) prim 0x0007 Refresh (Stack Object's graphic) your object should turn into bonzaï First I would recommand to try this on a single tile object you're familiar with Make it as a new interaction you can trigger with your sims Once you made it work, I can help you to make it autonomous and random But one step at a time is better

Thank you so much! That is very nice. I'll go make some dandelions and some buttercups...

By the way, I forgot to say that the name you should enter in the string ressource is the CRES name. And if it is some custom content made by you (I mean this is not another mesh already in the game) then you should add ##0x1C050000! before the name. For example if your CRES name is "dandelions" and its custom group number is 0x1C050000 then you should enter : ##0x1C050000!dandelions in the string ressource. |

Just a thought, why not different weeds for different seasons and/or for different Bon Voyage destinations. |

For different seasons..hummm...I'd go with a different subset recolor, as these weeds in fall would look dead. But does it really make sense that weed grows already dead? It defy logic. And in winter..weeds would simply not grow. Do they in the game though..? |

Yes, the weeds were never updated since basegame and don't recognise seasons. The default weeds mesh has five morphs but none are ever used, plant morphs for dormant would not be used in weeds so they wouldn't grow 'dead'. |
