Mod The Sims - Lamp of Fire Warding

The Lamp of Fire Warding is placeable on a Ravendancer Didactic Desk or Grandiose Reading Stand, an Opportunity Reading Desk or Opportunity Lectern as well as counters, desks, dining tables, end tables, shelves, on the ground, or in any of the special purpose crystal ball stands that may be made available. It can be made completely invisible wherever it is placed, can share a tile with another object, Sims will step over it, and it is height adjustable if Apartment Life or Mansion & Garden is available.

Listeners will sit on dining chairs, living chairs, sofas or love seats if they are available. To use two tile recliners, Sims must directed to sit on them first before listening. If no seats are available, listeners will stand instead.

If the Lamp (either directly or in a stand) is placed on a table, desk or coffee table with a dining chair behind it, a teacher will sit on the chair to talk to the clients (in the case of a coffee table, a sofa or carefully positioned living chair will also do). If there are other chairs at a dining table, the clients will join the teacher there.

If the Lamp is placed on the ground, the teacher will sit on the ground behind it, and all listeners except for elders with also try to find a place on the ground.

Sims who attend the session will listen to satisfy their Fun and Social motives, but if the teacher is a magician or moderately Charismatic, then Sims will continue listening until their needs or mood becomes too low. A magician or a moderately Charismatic Sim will be paid Â§50 per hour by each non-family member present. On owned business lots, any earnings will go directly to the business owner.

Teachers increase their Charisma at the same rate as when practicing with the basegame Teleprompter. In addition, Sims can "Ask For" or "Offer" Charisma speech lessons if the Lamp is placed on a Didactic Desk, Reading Desk, Reading Stand or Decorative Lectern.

On non-residential lots and dorms the teacher will appear automatically to begin a session, although this may not occur until ten game minutes have elapsed. This function can be overrode by selecting "Disable Auto-Invite" from the Lamp's menu. Qualified Sims who happen to visit or are invited to the lot will also autonomously use the Lamp. On residential lots a qualified Sim will not appear automatically unless "Enable Auto-Invite" is selected.

The "Invite Teacher" menu option will call in a qualified Sim regardless of the Auto-Invite setting. If the instructor is already on the job, "Replace Teacher" will dismiss the current Sim and after about ten game minutes a new teacher will be recruited. If you no longer want an invited teacher at all, "Dismiss" will relieve the Sim of their duties and "Auto-Invite" will be disabled.
