Hi, I like future sim hidden trait, especially the way they are talking with digital screen animation but it's so annoying to see them mostly to use the wind carver to go to work leaving his own luxury car in his inventory, and autonomous flying around or showing off the jet pack skill things while INACTIVE. I deleted all the future stuff includes digital pets? monsters?, then the sim got them from nowhere after I left to other household..I'd love to keep the futrue sim trait but is there a way to disable getting the free future items or even using them? Thanks.

I'm pretty sure, others can correct me on this, that sims living in regular homeworlds are never supposed to have the Future Sim trait because that can break the sim or the game in other ways. When this happens anyway, we usually advise using MC to remove the trait.

I'm not a huge ITF fan so I may be missing something here, but just going by what I've seen others discussing.

I really like ITF and play it a lot. I have inactive Future Sims in my homeworlds and generally there are no issues with them, even in my long-running, multi-gen legacy. I've definitely never seen them using their free stuff after I put it all in storage (I use these), so I don't think this is standard behavior. What you describe sounds a bit like how inactive sims conjure laptops from nowhere, and then end up with multiples in their inventories.

That being said, I have an active sim with the Future Sim trait who WILL spontaneously use his jetpack even when I've selected "stop using jetpack" (and it's still selected, so he's going against the setting). Seemingly nothing I can do about it. He's not just a Future Sim but a premade dead Future Sim whose grave my active sim brought back to the homeworld to resurrect him with Oh My Ghost! and then ambrosia, all so he could give his alien son a nice husband. I expected some issues due to this string of events, but I've had no problems him being a Future Sim other than the spontaneous jetpack use. He's never been inactive so I don't know how he would behave outside of the household.

You might try using MC to "flush" the items you don't want to see being used, in case there are some hiding somewhere? Then you'll be able to tell if they are in fact generating them out of thin air or not.

Thanks. Let me explain some background story of him. I have a gay married couple, and went to the future for working in Oasis Landing. (I didn’t have woohooer mod at that time). So my married couple engineered a baby in the hospital in Oasis Landing, and the boy baby stayed there until aging up to young adult. Not sure when but I noticed his advanced technology skill was 10 when he aged up to a child. My family came back to the present world leaving only 2 days until aging up to young adult. Then he became the first sim who didn’t graduate the high school. Lol Anyway, this is how he got the future sim hidden trait without mod and cheat. Moved to a new game with them, then started multi households in rotation. Noticed he kept getting free future stuff from nowhere while being inactive, even though I kept deleting them. It’s like endless loop. I delete them, then he get the default ones back, then I delete again, then he newly get them from somewhere. I knew the stuff were not belong to him because I always styled his stuff with his favorite color, and then the ones he got newly, were default colored ones. Now he became the father, and his kids got inherited the future sim trait.. I’m afraid they might do the same as their father while managing other households.
Thanks for the storage suggestion, it looks very useful for multi purposes. I’d like to download it.

I was able to find five FutureSim tuning values for the items they can own by default, but I can't confirm the Retuner path myself because I don't have ITF in play right now.

Theoretically, on City Hall or a computer, it should be:
NRaas > Retuner > Settings > By Tunable XML > Sims3.Gameplay.Actors.Sim
From there, they are
kFutureSimHolocomputerChance
kFutureSimHolodiscChance
kFutureSimHoverboardChance
kFutureSimJetpackChance
kFutureSimLaserharpChance
I figure tuning these to 0 should prevent Future Sims from pulling these out of thin air, while allowing real instances of these objects to be interacted with as normal?

They're all in the Sim XML (0xA29571C6F77AA18D) if you wanted to make a permanent tuning mod, also.

These objects are re-granted each time you start the game to inactive Sims with this trait. The tuning values above can control that. However, as igazor noted, I don't recommend giving Sims the Future Sim trait outside of the future as it does cause errors down the line when the core tries to run traveling code on the inactives having it when you're in the home world.

Thanks for ALL Helps. I'm not good at using Retuner setting, I'm sorry about this. I decided to delete the future sim hidden trait after reading all help posts. Not sure it's related to this hidden trait issue but my future sim can't take his WA camera out of his inventory and it's permanantly stuck, can't interact anything on camera. Anyway, I'm going to delete it on MC mod, anyway there's no way to delete it without mod. lol Thanks so much all!
