Homework Folder

A folder to indicate where Sims should do their homework. Can be placed on a table or a desk, or directly on the floor. Homework stacks on top of it.

MogHughson created a picture to indicate where a Sim should do their homework, but for me it has limitations. Firstly, it does not reserve the table/desk slot, so newspapers, bills, etc can still occupy the space. Secondly, it cannot be placed on the floor (I always did my homework on the floor!)

Located in Surfaces/Desks for $0. After being placed in Buy Mode, a Sim has to be directed to claim the folder. Only one Sim can claim each folder, and the owning Sim's image appears on the folder. Should a Sim claim a different folder, they relinquish ownership of the first and another Sim may then claim it as their own.

Only the homework of the owning Sim can be placed onto the folder - either by the owning Sim or by another Sim doing their homework for them.

A folder on the floor can be walked over.

Folders placed on non-residential lots or on lots with no children/teens in the family will auto-delete. Folders will also auto-delete (around 8pm) if the owning child/teen moves out or grows up to a (young) adult.


Configuration

Claimed folders can be made invisible in Live Mode (if you don't like seeing them all over the floor) by editing BCON 0x1000:0x00


Conflicts

Modifies BHAVs 0x100A "Interaction - Do Homework", 0x100F "Sub - Put Homework Down" and 0x1012 "Get in Temp 0 - Bottom of Stack", and adds BHAVS 0x1035 "Sub - Put Homework In Folder" and 0x1036 "Sub - Route to Homework Folder" in the Homework object (group 0x7FF4DCC2) so will conflict with any mod that alters/adds these.

Known to conflit with MogHughson's Put your homework away properly! , but as this is an alternative approach, use only one.


Notes

The mod requires InTeen Check 2.
