8PM EST (Day of Posting)
Resolved issue where secret scary warning motive was applying to all Sims at below the scary warning threshold, resulting in every single Sim when you visit a lot spawning in with flies to wave off.
9PM EST (Day of Posting)Slightly increased threshold of dirty items and slightly increased base chance of starting to suffer consequences from them. Turns out clean, uneaten food plates count towards this number, as the "plate" and "bowl" items count when they have food on them...so huge parties may attract flies. So I made the number a bit bigger. Clean up after dinner!
Hopefully this can be resolved later if I figure out checking something's current state (which is what's blocking me from adding appliances/plumbing checks).
Made it so that the Fly Attack tracker is only added when a Sim is at risk of a Fly Attack, and not on all Sims, and added age tests so that only Teen and Up sims can be affected by any of this.
Fly Attack Tracker is now removed from Sims when not relevant, instead of sticking around forever.
Adjusted background buff behavior to remove buffs on an unsuccessful "Is this area dirty?" check, resolving inconsistency where Sims would still appear at risk for too long after cleaning. Sims can still appear at risk until their next check, but it'll feel better. Previously, these buffs could appear moments before you cleaned things, and then stick around for a couple hours. Now they'll resolve sooner, but still a bit randomly, to keep you on edge. Are you sure you didn't miss some plates on half walls?
Blocked functionality from all venues except Residences (Which means it still includes dorms, penthouses, etc.) Until I can set tests for objects to be in certain states, this is the safest way to stop Sims from dying by or being assaulted by flies at places like restaurants, bars, cafes, etc, from left out food.
