Mod The Sims - Four Invisible Discernment Mirrors for the Sims 2 & Castaway Stories

Extended Description (Only For Those Who Need to Know!)

1) By selecting either "Check Self" or "Check Sim", these mirrors detect the paranormal status, age group, days to next age transition, gender and aspiration of any Sim currently on the lot, whether the mirror is used at home or on community property.

2) If animals are present, "Check Pet" will display the gender, species, age group, and days to next age transition of any creature on the lot.

3) When using either the "Check" or "Find" menu options, the camera will zoom in on the selected Sim or Pet, which makes the mirrors handy for locating a lost character. For situations in which the player wishes to find a special character, such as a Grand Vampire or the Leader of the Pack, this feature is particularly useful.

4) These mirrors support the base game and all subsequent expansions, as well as the three Stories games. The enhanced Check Self feature, now applicable to all ages from child through elder, is available in all versions. In all but the base game, "Check/Find Sim..." and "Check/Find Pet..." are also included. The particular mirror functions that were added later, such as "Change Appearance of Toddler" and "Change Appearance of Pet", are supported in their appropriate expansions.

5) The Stories editions do not contain the full "Ask" dialogue options that the regular game supports. The aspiration feature of these mirrors is therefore very convenient when playing these games, to help determine what makes a visiting character tick.

6) Castaway Stories does not indicate character age, even though Sims do age just as they would in the regular game. Again, these mirrors are particularly valuable in this situation. Apart from a modification to give correct catalogue placement, the Castaway mirrors are identical to those for the standard game, and use the same GUIDs.[/i].

7) FreeTime has complicated the aspiration system with the introduction of secondary aspirations. The mirrors correctly report on the secondary aspiration, if present.

8) The following paranormals are decoded, including up to any five types in combination: Quarter-Alien, Half-Alien, Three-Quarter-Alien, Full-Alien, Ancient Patriarch (Father Time), Angel of Death (Grim Reaper), Angel of Rebirth (Toddler New Year), Bigfoot, Friendly Rabbit (Social Bunny), Disembodied Attacker (evil Spectral Assistant), Ghost (a dead Sim), Jolly Old Elf (Santa Klaus), Nameless Servant (good or neutral Spectral Assistant), Petrified Performer (Human Statue), Plantsim, Servo, Spirit (an alive but Ghost-like Sim), Spirit of the Lamp (Genie), Vampire, Grand Vampire, Warlocks and Witches (whether Atrociously Evil, Evil, Mean, Neutral, Nice, Good or Infallibly Good), Werewolf and Zombie (including Hula Zombie).

9) The following animal species are detected, but since combinations appear to be impossible within the game none are supported: Incongruous Bird (Penguin), Orangutan, Wolf Leader, Wolf, Large Dog, Small Dog, Skunk, Cat, Spectral Cat, Hyena, and Jaguar. (Actually one combination only is supported: that of Ghost plus species name, for example, "Mata the Ghost Jaguar")

10) All age groups are supported, including Young Adult. For animals, the mirrors differentiate between the correct form for infant animals: whether Puppy, Kitten, or simply Baby. The unique transition of Plantsim Toddler directly to Adult is also properly identified.

11) The game does not have a convenient system for detecting the alien skintone genotype. These mirrors identify the legacy aliens in Strangetown by using a GUID lookup table. In addition, the children of legacy aliens are detected by an algorithm that checks if either of their parents were aliens. Another algorithm analyses the memories of both parents to determine if the child was born as a result of an alien abduction. The results of these calculations are used to set the custom Alien Token as well as to adjust the Miscellaneous Skills token's Alien Abduction value.

12) In cases where automatic detection does not work, such as for CAS aliens, the "Change Alien Status" menu may be used to properly identify alien heritage. Teenage Alien Sims may claim the Alien Abuction scholarship of §1500. For technical details, please refer to this thread.
