gen 7 update notes


ngl this is going to feel very anticlimactic after taking several months, but hey, i'd rather take my time than burn out and stop enjoying modding! thank you all for your patience

fixes

  • improved preroll consanguinity even more, so some of the processing time has been pushed to the loading screen instead of having a delay when two sims talk to each other
  • removed age check from eligible couple check so First Love will work again! (thank you Ecchans for letting me know!)
  • added a new version of riv_auto that takes just one sim as an argument, which will speed up new sim creation (either on birth or spawn)
  • startup notif doesn't appear if it conveys the same information as the last time it appeared (same text except for number of sims)
    • the 'no backups found for this save' notif shouldn't come up at all if you don't use riv_auto on any saves
  • 'ask if related' is no longer autonomous (keeping it this way until i find out how to reduce autonomy)
  • hopefully removed the occasional bug saying it couldn't find a .json file that didn't exist yet
  • [traits] riv_show_family now groups other sims in the family under alive and dead/culled (instead of unculled and culled)
  • fixed a critical error that prevented json files from updating if a sim's gender changed (thank you Vicki for finding this one!)

additions

  • [gedcom] generate a gedcom file (often used to import and export family trees if you're using external software to view them) using the command riv_gedcom xyz, where xyz is the keyword for a file that you've used auto json for
    • you can also use riv_gedcom by itself to just use loaded in sim mini-infos
    • if you don't use json backups, skip this - MCCC already has a much better gedcom command!

in the works

  • new interaction to ask a sim's relation to any other sim; this will be my first step to using sim pickers. it's technically in riv_rel.package because it's easier to hide than remove, but the picked menu doesn't even appear and i can't work out why
  • fixing up the XML overall so better exceptions doesn't flag it as potentially outdated despite still working
  • find ideas for new features that are actually useful and that i have the motivation + knowledge to implement

Get [unsupported] riv_rel - genealogy mod for sims 4
