Purpose
1) To patch the FreeTime semi-globals so that the "View Many" menu option for decorative objects is available on all lots (by default, "View Many" is only available on Community and Hobby lots). "View Many" was introduced with FreeTime, but is also available with Apartment Life and Mansion & Garden Stuff. This modified "View Many" allows Sims to partake of an art gallery browsing experience at home as well as away, building Arts and Crafts enthusiasm and increasing fun as they do so.
2) To optionally enable "View Many" when as few as two or as many as ten decorative objects are available on the lot. By default, "View Many" is only available when five or more decorative objects are present. This allows a player to tailor the occurence of an autonomous "View Many" to preference.
Installation
Please install only one of the following three patches in a Downloads folder:
1) sdViewManyRes02_FreeTime.package - "View Many" is available on all lots with two or more decorative objects.
2) sdViewManyRes05_FreeTime.package - "View Many" is available on all lots with five or more decorative objects (the default).
3) sdViewManyRes10_FreeTime.package - "View Many" is available on all lots with ten or more decorative objects.
To remove the patch, simply delete the appropriate file at any time when the game is not running.
This patch will be incompatible with any other project that modifies either the Painting Semi-Global Interaction - Appreciate - TEST BHAV or Tuning - Appreciate BCON. I have yet to discover any mods. that are in conflict. In support of my own coding projects this patch sets the first BCON field to a negative value, i.e. if Const 0x2004:0x00 tests negative you know that the patch has been installed.
Terms of Use
I do not recommend including this patch with uploaded lots because I believe that players should be able to freely choose which patches and hacks they want to use. Therefore, please ensure these patches are only available directly from here.
