Homework Eight

Assigned 5/15/03, due noon 6/5/03

Using the Edith editor and the Transmogrifier, create a new object for The Sims by starting with an existing object, and significantly changing its behaviors and advertisements.

Turn in your new object, along with a description of what your object does and why you chose to do it, what behaviors and advertisements it has, and how you tuned it to achieve the effect you desired. Most interesting objects will made available for public download from the class web site.

In case you are not feeling inspired, here are some suggestions for objects:

• Nanobot Clearners: like the roaches and flies, these critters swarm over your house. But they clean your house, including digesting trash on the floor. While expensive to purchase, they require no maintenance and even bring in a little income, because the trash they they digest is sold to the local recycling plant.
• Fight Club Lamp: When you turn it on, all of the sims in the room become very grouchy and aggressive, causing fights to break out, until you turn it off again.
• Automatic Fire Extinguisher: This device when left in a room will automatically extinguish any fire that breaks out in it.
