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

Privacy settings

Post by Sara_Darkees » October 26th, 2020, 7:17 am

Once, a long time ago, I started playing TSM and was very surprised when my sim went to take a bath, and other sims were scurrying around. But no one cared, no one was shy or offended. Of course, this is the middle ages, some may even envy the opportunity to take a bath, so everything is fine, but I still found it fun and, moreover, very convenient. One of my games has a pretty old world, so I'd like to try to bring that convenience there. Is it possible to change the settings of privacy in the bathroom? I'd also like the setting for my other games to work in the opposite direction. I mean, it seems strange to me that sims who are just in love with each other can calmly take a shower and relieve themselves in front of each other.

That would fall under the purview of NRaas Shooless. :)

How could I not notice this mod? Thank you, although there are very few options in the description, I hope that in the game I can achieve the desired result for both cases. I don't mind if the privacy issue disappears, but only for categorically married sims :D

Shooless works by individual bathroom object with overall settings on City Hall/computers, not by categories of sims. It may take some work/practice to get things set up the way you want, but perhaps partnered couples should be restricting their (scheduled) bathing activities to their own private bathrooms and have a lock on the door to keep guests out.

I don't remember struggling with this one much, but I probably just said the heck with it and switched off the need for privacy globally at some point so I didn't have to fuss with things every time I set up a gym or similar facility with public group showers.

Hm... I hope that the privacy during woohoo in the shower will remain the same in any case, because I don't want to see children there at such moments, even if it's the wild middle ages :huh: For public showers, the developers seem to have created a special shower, which is sold in the store. However, there are finicky players for this case, because sims wash in swimsuits. It actually looks good, but mostly for beaches.

Was wondering if having privacy enable for some Sims could be handled with the caste settings? I haven't done much with configuring the settings, but I have seen were there might be some interesting possibilities.

Sometimes it's less about being offended and more about who would want to see certain people bathing? :-o :P

As for being on the toilet...well...some activities are better being left alone. Especially when some of us have very weak stomachs. :|

JohnL83, I still believe that privacy should disappear only for very, very married sims, when they can no longer surprise or shock each other very much. Well, this is if we are talking about my standard games. In the case of Dragon Valley privacy is worth reducing, besides, I liked the bath right in the chambers of the king from the medieval. I want to recreate at least some of that atmosphere in TS3. Ideally, I'd like to know how to get rid of the phone, but not lose the possibility of remote communication :(

You can still click on individual bathroom items and have it go to privacy on/off in the shooless menu. So, say you have a master bathroom where your married sims don't mind seeing one another, just turn the privacy off, but in the main bathrooms, you'd like it to stay default EA, then just don't change those.

Caste's apply to SP only I'm afraid. None of the other mods here besides Woohooer are aware of their existence.
