Mod request: 24 hour stores!

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone!

 

This is my first post here, and I don't know if this is the proper place to request mods, but I'm going to give it a shot anyway. Likewise, if there is already a mod like this somewhere, please direct me to it but I've searched several sites and haven't found anything that suits my needs.

 

What I'm looking for is a mod that if possible keeps all the major stores in the cities/towns open 24 hours a day. I am so sick and tired of having to wait for stores opening, I just think it would be so much more convenient if they could be open all the time to be able to get the stuff you want when you want it.

 

Now, I haven't done any modding at all and I reckon it would take considerable time before I learn things well enough to pull something like this off, so if there is no "24 hour stores" mod available at the moment, would it be possible for someone to make one? I would be forever grateful, it would end a lot of grief on my part. I'm sure this would be plausible, after all there are a lot of expert modders out there. :D

 

Thanks in advance and I hope this can be done!

It can be done easily by editing the service AI packages to be 24 hours long. Nobody would want this, though, because there would be no opportunity to rob the shops. Also, I think the NPC's might get fatigued if they don't eat or sleep, but I'm not sure about that.

Fortunately this isn't the sims, eating and sleeping really don't have any important effect other than adding variation to the world. Even if there were some side effects, they could probably be solved through scripting, or rotating out shop keepers. You are correct though, this would ruin things for thieves, and may have negative effects if that shop keeper is supposed to do anything quest related when they leave the shop.

Never thought about the possibility of not being able to rob the stores, but then again I rarely play as a thief character anyway. So, let's just say I'd want to give this a shot: how would I go about editing the service AI packages? Like I said, I haven't done anything related to modding, or editing any of the game files for that matter either. I just want to make sure what to do and not screw anything up, so a few pointers as to how I do this would be most helpful. And if there should be some quest-related mishaps, I'll just have to edit it back I suppose. I just want to try it out and see if it suits me.
