Oh, my gosh! Thank you so much for making this! I've always wanted this!

Now my sims can stay at the community lots basically as long as they want, and when they eventually get home they won't pass out on the pavement! xD

Thanks so much, once again! ^-^

This is awsome Numenor! Thank you so much for sharing! Also, regarding cars on the community lot, sims get to keep their privately owned car if they drive to the community lot themselves. So instead of going by taxi they could drive there themselves and keep the car.

Thanks Numenor for this "Sleep Hack to End All Sleep Hacks"! Finally!

For anyone interested in timing issues, this might be perfect in combination with the Community Time Project (crammyboy): http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/s...hp?topic=7462.0 -- the point of which is that sims can leave for a comm lot, stay there for a week, and then return to the home lot *after a week has passed* (and not on the morning they left). Together with the sleeping hack, I think it'll make an even bigger difference than on its own.

Not meaning to hijack your thread =) I just wanted to point out that this exists, because I think the two hacks will fit together fantastically.

Thanks! It's annoying not to be able to sleep on community lots, and this fixes it

Awesome. I used to have Echo's hack, but since I got Seasons.... you know. I know that there's no way you can promise, but do you think it's likely that it will still work with the new EP once it comes out? I know nothing about things like that, but i often see hacks that the creator says it's very likely it will still work with any new EPs that come out.

This is a wonderful new gaming feature - thank you!

Actually Irishman did post a Community Sleep & Nap patch here as a bonus file. Irishman's solution is Seasons compatible, but only Seasons compatible. However, your new patch has quite a bit more functionality, as you mentioned:
Quote: Originally posted by Numenor
It's fully compatible with any game configuration, from base-game up to Seasons (and H&M); the hack will recognize your game version and will act accordingly.
Full support for Sleep and Nap on any (Maxis or custom) bed, sofa, loveseat, recliners/long chair and coffin; none of the mentioned hack would allow napping on long chairs or coffins (one enables the sofas, though).
Full support for Sims, Servos, Vampires and Pets.
I will particularly value the vampire and coffin enhancement because otherwise vampires can be frustratingly awkward to take out on trips.

Wowee! I'd become resigned to the idea that Sims had to go home after 5-6 hours unless they were on a date; this mod makes all-day trips (and hotels) possible. Thank you very much Numenor for sorting out this mod!

The bare truth is that this hack is very UNlikely to work with Bon Voyage - At least, it depends on how Maxis manages the "vacation trips" and the vacation lots. If they are simple community lots, then no problem; if they are new special lot types, well, I'll have to update this hack! :D


Sophie-David - Thanks for the link! I've read Irishman's thread in search of possible problems with his sleep/nap hack (which works in the same way as mine), and luckily there were no complaints at all
