I've had good success on wiping out my lag problem for the most part pissing about in the tuning, getting rid of unwanted sims on lot etc using filters for only the medical lots and at the same time allowing the max sims to remain at 30 per zone so I can enjoy a bunch of goofy ass sims showing up on my smaller lots. What depresses me is the complete lack of documentation on python for Sims 4 and how the majority of modders keep it a tight vagina lipped secret. Shit like spawning and assigning roles. Or GOOGLE is just a piece of shit and only finds garbage results now. Both really... I pretty much have to search through the Sims 4 python library in PyCharm to get any hints on how to do this stuff. I get it though. Peeps dont want anyone stealing their hard work but the modivation behind it is fuckin $$$. You know it. I know it and so do they. Which is why I decided to include documentation with anything scripting I release explaining how things work as I find out. Fuck their secrets and elite attitude. Shit's about to get real. I was unable to bust open MCCC and NPCC unfortunately with a decompiler. They are encrypted somehow so no looking at that source. And hey I'm not some fuckin asshole who doesn't give credit either. I just hate the lack of open source, the true spirit of modding. We all learn and more cool shit surfaces. That's how it works
On spawning and assigning roles. Let me explain what I am looking for. I want every way to spawn a sim to be known and how they are treated in game. What tags to use to filter them for a start. On roles I'm going above and beyond the cheats. I want to assign roles NOT in the cheats. Like assign a Orderly role to a sim on the fly instead of having to use the trait system I made. Assign a sim anything but rolestate_leave_now which is the default role a sim is given when the simmy isnt grabbed up by the xml filter. I found out you have to tell the game what spawn tags and idk what MCCC uses when you use it's teleport which is why I wanted to decompile the fucker. The two spawn tags I am using right now and know about are Spawn_Arrival and Spawn_VisitorArrival. I know there is more
