The original catch all. General game help, banter, things you should probably put in the correct forum, This is the place.

Using NPC sims as animation zombies?

Post by crashley_1784 » August 21st, 2019, 11:41 am

Another "is there a mod that...." question, lol.

Is there a mod (nraas or perhaps otherwise) that would allow me to assign certain specific tasks to an npc sim at a certain location for a specified amount of time? For example, let's say I'm building a hoppin' night club and want to have elevated dance "cages" on either side of the stage. I would want my club owner to be able to hire some "decorative dancing" girls, and I could assign them to wear a certain outfit and do NOTHING but club dance on those platforms for a specified amount of time. Needs frozen, shut up and just dance, kind of thing. Then at the end of their shift, they could go home. I know that there is a custom roles mod, but from what I understand, you cannot specify what exactly you want the sim to be doing, which is what I want to do. Thank you!

These kinds of assigned tasks would have to be considered on a case by case basis, not globally. But for the example you gave, we have this:

When used together with NRaas Register, the dancers can be assigned Role Sims. I have a household full of them in a couple of my worlds. They do work long hours, but I wouldn't necessarily call them animation zombies. Plus I can rotate their assignments around thus giving them some days off on occasion to progress their lives a bit more as many of us like to see resident Role Sims do when they can.
