How do I add an actionloot to an interaction using Python?

Hey there! I was going to respond on MTS but got busy and didn't get a chance to. I'll post here instead.

I did this recently for my own mod, but instead of adding a loot list or injecting into the loot list, you instead inject into one of the available loots itself. When I last asked around and researched nobody seemed to know how to do a loot list addition, someone mentioned it was difficult to pinpoint and that's why XML injector doesn't have it, and I haven't seen a mod do it for reference. So next best option is to just inject into a related loot.

For my script, I took apart a script from Mod Constructor as it was the only one I've seen do this, and then changed it to my own loots. Note that the script below contains it's own injection, and you can either separate them or keep them together.
from functools import wraps
import services
import sims4.resources
from sims4.tuning.instance_manager import InstanceManager
from sims4.resources import Types

def inject(target_function, new_function):
@wraps(target_function)
def _inject(*args, **kwargs):
return new_function(target_function, *args, **kwargs)
return _inject

def inject_to(target_object, target_function_name):
def _inject_to(new_function):
target_function = getattr(target_object, target_function_name)
setattr(target_object, target_function_name, inject(target_function, new_function))
return new_function
return _inject_to

@inject_to(InstanceManager, 'load_data_into_class_instances')
def MizoreYukii_BloodyVampireBitesAndWounds_AddLoot(original, self):
original(self)
if self.TYPE == Types.ACTION:
MizoreYukii_BloodyVampireBitesAndWounds_AddLootInjector(self, 11265282415106880567, 156798)

def MizoreYukii_BloodyVampireBitesAndWounds_AddLootInjector(self, to_merge_key, value):
action_manager = services.get_instance_manager(sims4.resources.Types.ACTION)
merge_to = self._tuned_classes.get(sims4.resources.get_resource_key(value, Types.ACTION))
if merge_to is None:
return
to_merge = action_manager.get(sims4.resources.get_resource_key(to_merge_key, Types.ACTION))
if not to_merge is None:
merge_to.loot_actions = merge_to.loot_actions + to_merge.loot_actions

Wherever it says something like "MizoreYukii_BloodyVampireBitesAndWounds" just change it to your creator name and the mod name, leave the rest to avoid confusion.

For "MizoreYukii_BloodyVampireBitesAndWounds_AddLootInjector(self, 11265282415106880567, 156798)" leave "self" alone and change the long first number to your tuning ID, and the last number is EA's tuning ID of the loot you are injecting to. So it looks like "CreatorName_ModName_AddLootInjector(self, MyTuningID, EATuningID)". If you need to add more than one loot, just hit enter and go to the next line, then do the same thing. Also, you should use XML File Finder to double check the loot you are injecting into and make sure it isn't being referenced by other files. If it is, add a participant test and either test for your interaction or test against the unwanted interactions.

Glad you solved it! I think I might have copied and pasted it wrong, I'll have to take a look. You replaced every spot where it mentioned my name and mod?

I don't think it's possible to set custom ones. I haven't heard of such a thing and I'm not even sure where to look if someone did succeed. The only place you might find such a thing is by taking apart giant custom mods like WW in the off chance that they did succeed at such a thing, or seeing if EA ever made a weird notification that was never repeated and is unknown because of it. Sorry!

OMG guys thank you soo much...

Yea I think its not possible, Im gonna have to find a workaround and do something else.
My next problem is adding other sims with certain relationship_bits into the notifications.

I copied code from the "Discuss Feud" Interaction and added to my action loot so that the notification can name the feud_Target for example. But its not working ...

Do you have any advice?

I made a notification, and I want {2.SimName} to be the name of my sims Feud Target.
My notification looks like this


<V t="notification_and_dialog">

The problem is, the notifications don't work when I add, like the notification just doesn't span at all.

<V t="participant_type">

<U n="participant_type">

<V n="objects" t="from_participant">

<U n="from_participant">

<E n="participant">ActorFeudTarget</E>

</U>

</U>

I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
It works with just the TargetSim and Actor, listed as participants, but not when I add the ActorFeudTarget.. Do you have any advice??
