I'm getting an error when I try to unzip the latter 2 files. The first file unzips fine. If you look at the details of those 2 files, it says the file size is 0.

I just checked this - there wasn't an issue with the original file, but I did find that the last two, wouldn't decompress [they all were made the same way].

I repacked - the last two files using the deflate method (this is the default decompression method supported by the zip format; I was using BZip2 compression with 7-Zip). You should now be able to uncompress the files using winzip, un-zip, or any other program supporting zip compression, now.

Sorry about that.

I'm wondering if this would work with MogHughson's watch TV from all chairs?

Default Mod: 'Watch TV from all chairs' should be compatible with this mod

MogHughson is modifying TelevisionGlobals (0x7F92832C) instance: 0x204D
While I am modying instance: 0x2014

So, based on this information ... you should be able to use the mod: 'Watch TV from all chairs' along side this mod.

Possible hack clashes
This package updates the following BHAV resources in Television_Globals (Group 0x7F92832C)
  • TV - Route to Watch (0x204D)
  • Adds four new BHAVs at 0x2094, 0x2095, 0x2096 and 0x2098
If your mod also touches these then our mods will clash.

This function uses a global to test if the interaction should be cancled. The global is: Fun Object (ME) - Exit and passes the sim's fun level to the function. If it returns false it continues the interaction loop. If it returns true, it exit's the loop and ends the interaction - causing your sim to stop watching tv and turn it off.
