When I assign NPC on the painting and choose Other, then choose some townie, it says that he will come by tomorrow. Then I edit start time and end time, salary on , and he comes stright away and message pops up sayin "I will work for 19 hours every day, my salary is 285", though (end time)-(start time) does not equel 19. Then he doesn't leave always at end time and doesn't come at start time, only if I redefine it. And what add schedule means?
One of assigned other NPC, tourist, suddenly appeared to be plant sim, though I've never seen him before, and this is a completely new neighborhood

Download the new version and it will clear that flag. Thanks for the report!

19 hours... Why it says so............? Here is a simple solution. Please click Preferences.../ option. Then click next, and you will find a menu named "Check Option". Now click it. There will be three dialogs popping up. Now please look at the first dialog carefully. Look at the "Start Hour" and "Finish Hour" item. What is it like? It must say start hour is 4, and finish hour is 23. So it all makes sens here. 23 - 4 equals 19. And he won't go home early because he thinks he is supposed to go home at 23:00 PM.

Of course, you did made a schedule and set up the hour before the townie shows up. Why does it happen?

It's because the scheduler initializes itself when it is created for the first time. And it is created when your worker shows up at your lot for the first time. It will reset some important options to the default value automatically to make everything work fine.

So how can you solve it? Very simple. Set up working hours again.

If you want to see if they charge you the correct amount of money, then turn off the pay option once, then turn it on again. They will report to you the correct hour and pay.

Hello, Thank you so much.
But i think i get a question. The All in one NPC hasn't clean the fallen leaf and burn it down.
And i can't find this option in the picture. How can i do now?

Thank you for coming back, Christianlov! We missed you. Some suggestions:

1. Do you think it is possible to assign other playables to be nanny?
2. Is it possible to make nannies and all-in-ones use any chair/sofa, not just the ultra-modern looking sofas (e.g., for medieval neighborhoods and poor families)? The npc bed is simple looking enough for any period.

Thank you.

It's great to have you back christianlov. I really love your hacks and gamemods
I just have a few questions. If the answers are here somewhere I do apologize:P
1. It's says that you can customize the schedule but can you also do that so the NPC works for like 4 hours?
2. Is it possible to make the NPC only babysit?

Thanks anyway for this hack:D

Okay, everything seems to be working now! Thanks for replying; you were right (of course) I had downloaded the Uni patch when I shouldn't have Also I needed to use the tweak tool which I had overlooked. This is exactly what I needed for my fantasy neighborhood; yayyayay! Now every household can have a theme appropriate servant! Your awesomeness is overwhelming!

Sure. But I don't know maybe townies may not work great as nannies in game. But it's still possible.

Sure. I just added the custom chair because some players didn't like NPCs sitting on their chairs. I think I can do that in next version.

Nannies will do only babysitting (but they can work as ai1 too if they are assigned as an ai1, they are basically same). Ai1s won't do that.

Welcome back Cristianlov!!! When I saw you back to MTS2, I was sure you would have updated the Ain1 (I didn't ask because it's always so annoying receiving requests when you have already a full to-do list )

Just to make you understand how much I missed it, in my root Downloads folder I have an archive "All-in-one".rar, created in March 2006, where I have lastly stored your old Ain1 version; I had to remove it for compatibility, but I kept that rar in my Downloads as a reminder: I wanted to update it myself, but as you can see, 2 years weren't enough for me to find the time to do it... -

So... THANK YOU for updating and improving the Ain1!!! Love the "farmer job" option!


That said, I have a question, just to be sure to have understood correctly...
I want to set up an Ain1 NPC to work for the standard time shift, with autonomy set to "FullTime". If I use the Ain1Painting to summon/setup the NPC, I don't need to use the special stove, right? Also, the special bed and chair are not required, correct?

I've finally started my Journal. Information only, no questions.

My latest activity: CEP 9.2.0! - AnyGameStarter 2.1.1 (UPD) - Scriptorium v.2.2f - Photo & Plaques hide with walls - Magazine Rack (UPD) - Animated Windows Hack (UPD) - Custom Instrument Hack (UPD) - Drivable Cars Without Nightlife (UPD) - Courtesy Lights (FIX) - Custom Fence-Arches - Painting-TV - Smarter Lights (UPD)


I *DON'T* accept requests, sorry.

waaaaaaaaaaa! Numenor! hi~~~~~~ Thank you so much and it's my honor~. I missed you~

Yes, that's 100% correct, there's no need to use the special npc stove in case using the painting. I personally don't use my stove either. I found a pretty custom one so I use that all the time. And the bed is not necessary either for standard time shift.

And thank you~~~~~~!

Hi...really quick question as I know you are busy accepting praises and honors and awards for this mod. I want to have a maid but also want a nanny. do I need both of the paintings or does the one painting cover both options. I am really anxious to start using this mod.

Doh! I connected to MTS2 to ask this very same question
I have a poor family with an Ain1 NPC, and I wouldn't like to have a second NPC in my house...

PS: Cristianlov, I play very rarely, but your Ain1 NPCs stimulated me to play a lot!!! -

Thank you so much, this is perfect. I was looking for a way to have a "maid" that wore SussisSoGoodSims's Victorian Maid outfits in my victorian neighboorhood without replacing the default maid. http://modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=205801

Amazing, Thanks.

hi buddy, I still have and am using the old version of the ain and it works fine. I only have all eps up to pets. Is there any reason I need to update to the newer one?

I don't think I have assign servo on my assign options. I will have to check it out next time I run the game.

I am so glad that you updated it because I plan on getting some of the newer ep's eventually. Keep up the good work. You rock!!!

hi~ denisejacquelyndelaney and numenor~

Unfortunately you need both items to cover those two options. That is a very good idea for poor families like numenor said, but.......... because these items have many options, it's kinda complicated to cover those options using one item.

hi mamn~~

Uhm no mamn, if you don't have any problem with the old version, then you won't need the new version. There are only a few things changed and those are mostly seasons related features.
