Rabbit-Management Mods
for The Sims 1
1. Rabbit Population
Control
EphemeralToast
at ModTheSims wanted a mod that would make the rabbits breed less.
Eliminating rabbits entirely is possible with Simlogical's
wonderful No Scavengers Mod, which you can get at https://simlogical.com/sl/downloadpages/zappers.htm
But if want SOME rabbits but not a HUGE number of rabbits, there's not
much out there for that. I looked at the code, and Maxis
allows the rabbits to breed until there are 25 of
them! It looked like a very simple thing to change that
number to any other number, so this mod intends to limit the rabbit
population to 5.
I don't have any gardens going at the moment, so thanks to EphemeralToast for testing this for me.
The mod: Rabbit Population Control.zip
Installation:
Since this overrides something already in the
game, it does NOT go in your Downloads folder. Unzip this and
put the BunnyRabbit.iff
file in your ExpansionPack5 folder. For those
who don't know where that is, try looking in C:\Program Files
(x86)\Maxis\The Sims\ExpansionPack5
2. Rabbits
Don't Block the Road
EphemeralToast liked having fewer rabbits but reported
that even five
rabbits sometimes blocked the road, so the carpool or schoolbus
couldn't get by. Don't worry; I can fix that, too! :-)
There's a list of things that cars can drive through, including things
like the newspaper. I've simply added rabbits to the list.
Since the Maxis code for rabbits includes most of the features
that should make rabbits not block cars, I'm pretty sure the rabbits
were never intended to block the car pool in the first place.
The mod: Rabbits Don't Block the Road.zip
This mods the file CarGlobals.iff,
which goes into your GameData\Global folder. For
most players, this is located at C:\Program Files (x86)\Maxis\The
Sims\GameData\Global.
DO NOT
PUT THIS IN THE DOWNLOADS FOLDER, BECAUSE IT WILL NOT WORK THERE.
Have fun!
