Cooler

Cooler, cost unaltered from the original object, found in
--- BuyCatalog/ByFunction/Appliances/Small
--- BuyCatalog/ByFunction/Storage/Misc
--- BuyCatalog/ByRoom/Kitchen/SmallAppliances
--- BuyCatalog/ByRoom/Outside/OutdoorsActivities
I've only overridden a few resources of the original object (STBLs, OBJD, OBJK and RSLT)

Ice Pack, cost 2*, found in
--- BuyCatalog/ByFunction/Appliances/Misc
--- BuyCatalog/ByRoom/Kitchen/SmallAppliances
This is a retexture of the first object I've found that had a vaguely fitting shape (the cellphone!).
The mesh is actually more complex than necessary (and I also think it is too small, maybe
because the cooler is pretty big). The mesh has 91 vertices and 64 polygons.

*A very low price for the ice pack makes sense, but I wonder if it is too low to correctly
apply a discount to it in case you decide to add it to the grocery store shopping list (see below).

It should work exactly like a fridge (with the added complication of the ice packs), but
hear me out and tell me if the logic is sound or I've made some misjudgement.
Maybe there's still some way left to exploit the system.

• When putting a food inside the cooler, the spoilage timer is extended only if there's at
  least one ice pack inside, otherwise it is left unmodified, but the spoilage timer is reduced
  (when removing the food) either if there was or there wasn't any ice pack (to prevent exploiting).
  
• If the last ice pack is removed from the cooler (or was auto destroyed because expired)
  then all the spoilable foods inside will have their spoilage timer updated (shortened).
  
• If you add an ice pack to a cooler that had none, the spoilage timer of the foods inside will be extended.

It doesn't necessarily have to work like a fridge (at first I've used another system),
but if it works well I'll leave it like this.

You can put any object inside the cooler (at first even the cooler itself and, trust me,
the game didn't like that!), but, in addition to spoilable foods, other items get special treatment.

If you put inside the cooler any object of type Morsel (you may know that as the less generic
DriedFood, like those from WA) then the eating interaction will consider those too.
To be clear, DriedFood is used by many custom edible foods (not the regular foods that
need cooking). Sims will eat this kind of food standing.

The eating interaction also considers some beverages (technically, the 2 Glass classes),
but that part of the mod isn't very well thought off. Nectar glasses (with or without icarus_allsorts
replacement mod) are the only type of glasses that can be dragged inside the cooler. The eating
animation ends after just one sip (mmm... this probably depends if icarus mod is in or not,
don't remember which one).
.
In theory also the beverages from stands (Seasons and IP) should be handled, but IIRC none of
them can be dragged or even kept in a inventory, unless I'm mistaken those are drank right away
without any chance to store them. But even if they did the mod doesn't handle them very well
(see how Sims carry the nectar glass before drinking it).
.
This is also the reason why I'll release another mod that I made some time ago and, coincidentally,
happens to works very well with the cooler. See the first comment for the extra download.
.
Depending on the beverage, Sims will drink it standing or they will try to sit first.

The cooler doesn't have a owner. This also means that filters are based on the currently selected Sim.

There are no features to autonomously stock the cooler.

If there's spoiled food inside the cooler, then a stinky special effect is applied. There's no broadcaster
associated with a "stinky cooler" to make Sims in proximity get the "disgusted" (IIRC) moodlet, but the
environmental score of the cooler is decreased (by default is 0, it becomes -10 or -20 for Sims with the Neat trait)
unless they have the Slob or StinkySim trait because in that case they just don't care (the latter might be a "dummy" trait).

Dogs will bark at the cooler if there's spoilable food inside. If you find it annoying you can disable it.

A few strings are not localized ("expires in*" and the set users' filter interaction) for lazyness.

There's an interaction to remove the spoiled food (the carry animation of the trash is weird).
Maids and other special Sims are encouraged to use it autonomously. Various situations and
circumstances (preparing for party among them) also encourage Sims to use it.
There's a setting in the xml to enable/disable users' filter on that interaction too.

If you find annoying to get ice packs from the catalog, you can use the keyword "ArsilIcePack"
and use the feature of my chewing gum mod to add it to the grocery store shopping list.
See instructions in the description of this mod for more info (inside a spoiler tag in the Object Info section).
Note that that system allows to add any (maybe there are exceptions, I don't remember)
object to the grocery store, the only requirement is having an NGMP resource that maps
the descriptive name (unique!) used in the xml to the InstanceID of its OBJD resource.

Just one quick technical info. If you want to apply the cooler script to another object,
the RSLT resource must have a FX slot called 0x318A282C for the stink special effect.
Just put "0" as bonename as it doesn't need an associated bone/joint in the _RIG resource.
