Time Out Tuning on Dreamer

Post by Sonshine » August 2nd, 2016, 1:47 am

Hi, a friend of mine is asking how to stop the time out on dreams w/Dreamer. Here is the post:

"I'm using Nraas dreamer. According to this webpage:

<a href="http://nraas.wikispaces.com/Dreamer+Pha ... ase+Ten</a>

It says that I can tune it to stop the timeout of unlocked dreams. I understand this to mean that dreams I haven't queued will stay there indefinitely.

How do I tune the mod to accomplish this?"

Thanks for any help you can give.

What the referenced sentence on that page means is that such can be accomplished with an additional tuning file, to be added alongside the mod file. Further down the page, there is a link to Dreamer's optional tuning file (there is only one in this case, and it's the one wanted).

I use the file in question to stop the timeout on dreams. Just drop in it your Mods\Packages folder to stop the timeout, remove to go back having dreams time out. It works fine, but can be tedious because you have to dismiss every wish you don't plan to fulfill and you can only see the 3-5 at a time in the scroll window. New wishes will show up in the scroll window making it impossible to see older wishes unless you dismiss enough for them to work their way to the newest 3-5 wishes. And the window doesn't automatically refresh either, I have to switch focus to another sim in the household then switch back to see any older wishes.

That being said, I routinely switch out the tuning file depending on what's going on in my game and whether my sims are getting a lot of high value wishes and whether the household is too large to make managing all the dream queues fairly tedious.
