The Sims 4 MOD: [FIXED] Less Frequent Laundry Day Idles<\/h2>\n
\n
\n**UPDATE 4\/19\/18**<\/b><\/u>
\nMade a minor tweak, slightly increased the time before an idle would potentially start instead of it being instantaneous.<\/p>\n

**UPDATE 4\/17\/18**<\/b><\/u>
\nAlright so silly me didn’t realize that the idles only trigger when a laundry buff is present, like whether it’s Dry, Soaked, Filthy, etc. Those buffs last 4 sim hours, aka 240 seconds. When I set Version 1 between 300 and 480 seconds, the idles were never actually allowed to happen because the buff would’ve timed out and been long gone! I guess when I was testing I didn’t realize how frequently I did laundry in my game, and just thought it naturally happened once you had the pack. ;; Well after re-working the files I decided to take a slightly different approach, while also adding in a few more available versions. <\/p>\n

—<\/p>\n

I love the Laundry Day pack, however I was annoyed with how often my sims would brush \/ pick off the lint on their clothing!
\nAfter a while I finally became sick of it, hence this mod was born.<\/p>\n

EA’s default time in which sims perform the “brush off” idles occur between every 20 to 100 seconds<\/b>. This short amount of time allows a chance role, creating the possibility of you seeing the same animation play 2+ times within the clothing\/laundry’s buff duration. Thats.. a bit excessive.<\/p>\n

I was indecisive on how much I wanted to change it, so I landed on the following four versions.
\n(( Only pick one please! ))<\/i><\/p>\n

Version 1:<\/u> 100%<\/b> chance an idle will play once per laundry buff.<\/b>
\nVersion 2:<\/u> 50%<\/b> chance an idle will play once per laundry buff.<\/b>
\nVersion 3:<\/u> 25%<\/b> chance an idle will play once per laundry buff.<\/b>
\nVersion 4:<\/u> 5%<\/b> chance an idle will play once per laundry buff.<\/b><\/p>\n

** Keep in mind, the initiation time will be at random throughout the duration of the laundry buff. **
\nIt could happen right when your sim receives the moodlet, right when it’s fading away, or anytime in between.<\/b><\/p>\n

Removing the idles entirely seemed like a waste of a feature to be honest, so there’s no version to remove them all together.
\nIf you really really really<\/i> don’t want to see the animations however, then I suggest going with Version 4.<\/p>\n
