GRRR! Still booing???

So what is the action called when stupid sims boo athletes, celebrities or others in the entertainment industry? And why in the #uck do family members do this to their own family and best friends too? I have heckling turned off in Retuner and I don't know where else to tune out this stupid action! I went through every action where I found Heckle and I don't see anything that could relate to this action. I also tried looking at Situations under XML tuning. Does anyone know what action this is and is there any way to stop it!?

My sims own father did this to his daughter at the park.(she's full grown with a family so no loner part of the active family, though I play her family at times too) She is a level 10 Rock Star and well liked and they have 100% relationship.
First of all it's so random and makes no sense! If the sim is popular and well liked then it's idiotic that anyone would boo them just seeing them in public. I'd like to wring the neck of what ever idiot over at EA thought this was cute or funny! I wouldn't mind it so much if the sim being booed had some actual reason behind the booing, like they were evil or did something bad or even if they were poor performers, but honestly WTF? How do I stop this stupid and really annoying BS!

The Booing is an Awareness Animation and has nothing to do with Heckling. Shimrod has a mod at Sims Asylum that turns off the Booing and several other Awareness animations with a few exceptions (such as Evil and Mean Spirited sims)
The mod is called Awareness Animations Disabled you'll find it in the Retired Creators section.

Thank you Sittingbear! Also, can you explain this? It's under Retuner and in my games it's set to No Change, I don't really understand what it's function is and it's this explanation doesn't really help me.

Interaction Autonomy NEW
  • Defines a global change to autonomy applied to all interactions in the game ???
  • This setting is applied prior to other mod settings, allowing you to turn certain interactions back on if you wish
  • Default: No Change

Sittingbear - Just to be sure before I download this other mod, Nraas Retuner XML has nothing listed for these Awareness animations? I only ask because there are a few of the things listed in his mod that I don't really want to stop happening. Like sims waving hello to each other. I saw the second version that disables just booing and a couple of others, but I'd also like the point and laugh thing on that version 2 list. But if Retuner can't do anything about this I will just deal with the Verson 2 of Shimrod's mod. The booing is the worst. I don't get too much of the point and laugh thing. But I do like sims waving and saying hello to each other. Not sure why anyone is annoyed by that one.

Not really sure if Retuner touches that XML.
But I once looked inside Shimrods mod to try and see what he did (cause their where a couple more I wanted to disable) and could never figure it out.

sittingbear, have you tried using a diff checker to compare the EA version of the resources to the modded versions? The one at diffchecker.com is pretty good.

Thanks and JohnL83, after seeing what Shimrod did with that XML you wouldn't be able to use Retuner as he added additional code to turn off the frequency of the animations and Retuner can't add code it can only change what is there.
