BTW our items do not replace any game files (e.g. semiglobal groups) and we have GUID range registered, so you should have no problems with our items. Simply extract the .package file to e.g. Simsky subfolder in Downloads.

I have missed the many hacks of yours I used in Sims 1. I am thrilled to see you wading into the Sims 2 waters. Thank you

I remember having a fire alarm like this in TS1. This will be very handy for outside fires, because a lot of the houses (the ones with those funny deck things) won't let you place anything on outside walls.

Thanks to all

If somebody is interested in testing my items before they are public-released, just PM me or send me an e-mail with info about your Windows and game version

I am also looking for people who could translate the description and pie menu strings of my objects into other languages, e.g. German, French, Polish...

Thank you, I have one sim that whether she cooks inside or out she has a fire. And she is half way to maxing out cooking!

You can use my Fireproof Cooking mod and she will never have a fire anymore when using stoves, toaster ovens and similar appliances

How does this object find fires? I'm working on a decorative fire based on the game's fire and I want to make sure it won't alert ANY detectors.

I use "Set to next" function with the GUID of the Fire object as a parameter. This is the same how most of the detectors work. Your item will have different GUID, so these detectors will not detect it.
Should anybody write a detector which checks group attributes, such detector would discover your fire, if the original fire uses these attributes.

Actually, the game's fire also has bhavs to notify fire dectors and the npc controller. Its not all done by fire guids.

Yes, the game's fire notifies some default items, but e.g. my detector uses time loop for this job, which makes it independent from any globals / semiglobals. I don't think somebody created a detector using this global notification, it would have no advantages.
