A Sims 1 hacking tutorial for showers, part 3 - no cleaning

This is the third part of the shower tutorial. This is about how to make the shower a "no cleaning" shower. The shower I'm working on here is the one I just made "no shooing" in part 2. So open up your file and open the BHAV's, if it's not already open (if you need help on that check here).

Now this time it will be a different kind of hack. You could do the line skipping thing, but there is an easier way. To make a shower not needing cleaning we must make it not get dirty. And where to look? There is a BHAV line called 4119 "tweak dirt inc" double click on it to open it. This is what you see

Now this line makes the file jump to a resource in the Global files (A). When it has read the code there it jumps back with a true or false. Not much to do about what happens in the globals. But if you look at the numbers you can see that this file sends some information to the global when it jumps there.(B) And that is how much the Dirty factor should go up every time someone takes a shower. (The Dirty factor is a number between 0 and 1000, 1000 is maximum dirty). If you change that to 0 the Dirty factor of this shower will go up with 0 every time this shower is used. It will never need to be cleaned :-) .

No other changes have to be done. This shower is now "no cleaning".

After changing

If you open a toilet file and check the dirty inc there you will see that a toilet gets 1000 for dirty factor from being used just once. Thats why they need to be cleaned after one use. And yes, toilets can be changed just as easily to be "no cleaning".

Good luck hacking
