Ok, I'm a programmer, not a graphic designer, so it's not that good looking, but it's functional, and it makes things so so much easier, trust me. Not so long ago, custom radio channels were barely a thing, and soon you will be able to create your own in just a few minutes. Just fill in all the necessary information, hit Generate, and enjoy your fully functional package file!
The generated package includes:
- The 7 Object State tunings for the channel (one for each category of object, so, normal stereos, hot tubs, earbuds, etc.), +1 if 'Add to DJ booths' is selected
- The 8 Interaction tunings for the listening interaction (one for each category of object, but hot tubs have 2) +1 if 'Add to DJ booths' is selected
- The Audio Configuration file
- The Audio Vocals file for each track
- The Music Data file, that adds the channel to the 'Game Options - Music' menu, allowing to disable tracks (listening in the options doesn't work though, I didn't figure this out yet)
- The Broadcaster tuning (handling the reaction to the music for sims that are around)
- The CAS Preference Item tuning, allowing to select the channel as liked or disliked in CAS, with the associated Sim Data file
- The 'Likes' and 'Dislikes' Trait tunings, with the associated Sim Data files
- The 'Like' and 'Dislike' Buff tunings corresponding to the channel, giving Happy+2 when listening to Liked music or Tense+2 for Disliked music, with the associated Sim Data files
- The 'Recently listened to' Buff tuning and the associated Sim Data file
- The Headline tuning, handling the icon over the head while listening to Liked and Disliked music, with the associated Sim Data file
- The Action tuning enabling the headline
- The 2 'Adventure Moments' Snippet tunings, handling the notifications to gain Like or Dislike preferences when listening to the channel
- The Interaction tuning triggering the above mentioned notifications
- The 2 'Gain Preference' Action tunings, handling the positive responses to the notifications
- The 2 Interaction tunings handling the buffs when passively listening
- The Social Interaction tuning, allowing Sims to 'Enthuse about' liked music and 'Complain about' disliked music for a period of time after listening
- The 6 DTS images if you are using custom icons
- The String Table
- The Snippet tuning needed for my injector, so no need to override the stereo objects and state lists
As you can see, everything is already in there, just put the package and the injector in your mods folder, and you will have your very own, fully functional custom radio channel.
Stay tuned!
