Default Checking for moodlets from another mod?
I'm looking to do something to a sim if a moodlet from a different mod is present.

I know other people have integrated mod functionality. Could someone give me a tip on how this is done? I can include the dll from the mod in question, but I don't want everything to break if the mod isn't installed.

You can use the Buffmanager to check if the sims has the guid of the moodlet

Code: 
Actor.Buffmanager.HasElement(guid)


E: cast the ulong to buffnames like Actor.Buffmanager.HasElement((BuffNames)10086937382061335616uL) // in this instance this would be the vanilla Amused buff.

If you're just looking for a custom moodlet, you shouldn't need to reference the assembly or use reflection at all. So long as you have the GUID value of the moodlet in question (i.e. the number that begins with "0x" in the XML), you can just check directly:

Code: 
sim.BuffManager.HasElement((BuffNames)0x52D33C8C0D2C1CC9);

Thanks both of you! That makes perfect sense. It seems obvious now that you say it.
