 Say Thanks!
Did you ever want to have an actual light switch your sims need to approach to turn on / off the lights for a bit more realism?
Well, now they can!

What is this mod?
This mod will let your sim turn on / off the lights in the room where the light switch is placed.
Unlike the default light objects in the game, the interactions in this mod aren't immediate, your sim will need to approach the object to interact with it.
The mod is using the "Ring doorbell" animation to give the illusion that the sim is actually pressing the switch.

Important!
This mod does not add a light switch to the game by itself. It only provides the necessary functionality for light switches to work properly!
To have the actual light switch objects, you'd need to download the additional package file.

The Light Switch Object
There are 4 light switches included with this mod that were converted from TS4, I also provided a template package that you can clone with S3OC or TSRW so you can create your own light switches.

The converted TS4 light switches come in two versions: Merged / Unmerged - Please install only one version in your game!

How to Install?
Place the mod and the light switch objects in your Mods/Packages folder.

Known limitation
To get the animation to route properly, I had to move the routing slot to the far left, so a sim can't interact with a second light switch that is placed close to the first one.
Other than that, this mod shouldn't have any conflicts.

Additional Info:
  • The light switches are found under Lighting -> Wall in Buy Mode.
  • The original TS4 catalog description and prices.
  • The package files are compressed.
  • Russian and Korean translations are already included (for the mod itself, the objects catalog names are all in english).
