Well, is there an alternative to this then?
Can't really get back into Retail without a way to limit the random group dialogues.

If you don't see it on MTS then your answer would be no. MTS has a thing where nobody can upload the same mod unless one hasn't been updated within X amount of time. Then they're required to link back for original credit and blah blah blah. It hasn't been enough time for someone to have permission to take it over and upload it here at least.

Well... what's the length of time before someone can take over this mod? It's essential.

So, I just read that, and the policy says the person must have been inactive for at least a month.

Shimrod101 has been inactive since mid October. There are no notes on the upload page prohibiting the mod being updated by someone else.

So, hopefully, someone can update this.

I'm no modder but I was able to update the "ShimrodLessMusicalChairsNoGroupChat_V4" package by comparing the XMLs in the original to ones from the game.

According to the policy above I should be allowed to post this.

Moderators, feel free to remove this post obviously if I'm mistaken and not actually in accordance with the policy.

Thank you, hopefully this will clear up my issues.

Thanks so much for doing this. Is there any possibility that you could do a plain version that doesn't include no group chat? I actually like the group chats but musical chairs drives me crazy.

thanks for this. I didn't realize that this mod wasn't working until it dawned to me after the recent patch that my Sims were being idiots and getting up all the time.

Hi! Thank you so much for doing this!

I really want this mod, but I am ok with group chats. Could you maybe provide me with a link to some resource you used while learning to update this mod?

Matt, wondering if you might be so kind to make a version in which group chat is not completely disabled but that three sims can have a conversation?

I second this. I don't want group chats to be disabled, but I do want something to fix the musical chairs and constantly getting up.

Updated this for Cats/Dogs (ShimrodLessMusicalChairs_V4)

Never used the old Mod so i am not sure how effective this is or if it works like the old Mod did.

Sam there's less musical chairs, but my sims still are engaging in multiple group chatting instead of only chatting with one sim at a time.

Anyone else have this issue?

Thanks for you update!
