Automated Walk To Work

This global mod directs sims at specified career levels, or in specific jobs, to walk to/from work and not take the carpool.

Sims will walk to/from work under the following conditions

  • If either car portal is missing, Sims will always walk to work
  • The owner of a car will always drive to work
  • No car is allocated to the job level
  • A teen in any job below or at a specified level (default is 0, ie disabled)
  • An adult in any job below or at a specified level (default is 0, ie disabled)
  • An elder in any job below or at a specified level (default is 0, ie disabled)
  • A sim at any level in a specified career (default is none)
  • A teen, adult or elder in the education career, with a child (or self) at public school, where the car-pool is the school bus, will walk to work

If a Sim will walk to/from work, the following changes are made to the carpool

  • No car pool alert at -2 hours
  • No car pool at -1 hour
  • Automated push "Walk to Work" at -1 hour, and set game speed to slow
  • No car pool for return, Sim walks home from a portal
