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!
