[Early Access] RPO v2.97: new contraception options, additions to protection failure system, and more
Added 2024-01-02 15:59:09 +0000 UTC**************
HAS GONE PUBLIC SINCE!!!
**************
Jan 21: small fix for integration of a menu
Jan 19: integration fix for m4 and OLL's "Multiple Exclusive Relationships", fix for surrogate agency calls
Jan 3: tweaked a little oversight

Main changes:
NEW BIRTH CONTROL METHODS / OPTIONS
- In addition to the pill, Sims can now also get shots, patches, and copper and hormonal IUDs.
- We also have new Non Medical options now (in addition to the pre existing 'Woohoo protection items'): pull out method and cycle based partial abstinence approach.
- hormonal birth control side effects are now optional


ADDITIONS TO PROTECTION FAILURE SYSTEM
- Now Sims will be reacting upon pregnancy discovery about what protection they used and what failed.
- 'bemoan not using protection' now changes to 'bemoan protection failure' if a pregnancy occurred due to failure of protection.
- Now Sims can tell a child they were the result of a birth control failure / accident

ADDITION AND CHANGES TO CYCLICAL SYSTEM
- I changed the setting for cyclical system a bit. Now it will apply to everyone always if it's on, and apply to nobody if it's off. But you can still opt out individual Sims from the cycles if it's set to on.
- Now you can customize cycle length.
- per persistent requests, now there is an optional simple period aspect to cycles.

There will be a Second Pass of updates to this with more additions later.

Quick question, how do I find the cyclical system? I been using your mods since they first came out and I can't live without them lol.

Tia Washington
2024-02-27 22:00:15 +0000 UTCNope, sounds like a mod conflict, we can help you figure it out with logs on discord
Lumpinou
2024-02-24 09:20:06 +0000 UTCFor some reason, I never get the "Doesn't know the father" buff, but also I have no way to figure out who the dad with without a cheat/going back and asking one by one. Is this a known issue?

2024-02-24 04:12:37 +0000 UTCHi, I've never heard of that happening, but I'll give it a check!
Lumpinou
2024-02-23 01:51:04 +0000 UTCHi! No, I didn't really want to go to that level of details (initially I had a very detailed system in the works like three years ago but abandoned it because it just seems too much to me ah). So it gives them moodlets and interactions and it stops at that :)
Lumpinou
2024-02-23 01:50:12 +0000 UTCHey, I love you're mod. Just a quick question. When a Sim on her her period. Dose she need to buy tampons or pads?
Lolo_4
2024-02-23 00:17:34 +0000 UTCIs anyone else having the issue when sims are separated that the actions for the negative options don't work. Like I've tried on 2 different married couples and whenever I try for Re-hash old arguments, blame for relationship problems, or criticize life choices, the action turns into a random mischief action or a random romance action instead of actually doing the mean separation actions. I was able to get the sim that didn't ask for the separation to do the criticize life choices occasionally, and the one who did ask for the separation has been able to do that one on occasions as well, as long as nothing else is queued up for them, but this seems to be random on when it actually is successful. The other 2 options though have never worked for either sim in both relationships.

2024-02-21 19:05:26 +0000 UTCI'm having a weird issue where my sim is pregnant, goes into labor, and doesn't have a baby. Her belly disappears and then there's a moodlet that says pregnant 2nd trimester but she should definitely be in labor. It's happened in 2 different saves. I'm gonna delete and redownload the mod but idk what would conflict. I only use your mods and healthcare redux
Nyaziah Lovelace
2024-02-07 16:42:28 +0000 UTCHi and thanks a lot! As it says at the top of this post and in the mod index, that's not on early access anymore, so, it's in the usual rpo download pages. You can find them listed on the mod index! Thanks!
Lumpinou
2024-02-04 21:57:21 +0000 UTCHi, I just subscribed as I love your mods, such as the memory panel and especially the RPO and all its various modules, which allow me to create more truthful and engaging stories with my sims! So congratulations on all your work! But where can I find the link to download RPO v2.97 in Early Access?

2024-02-04 21:56:05 +0000 UTCNo
Lumpinou
2024-01-29 15:59:07 +0000 UTCHi, that doesn't preclude the possibility of having old files hiding in some other folder. Make sure the Sims are a can impregnate / can be impregnated pair and have a relationship
Lumpinou
2024-01-29 15:59:02 +0000 UTCHi! Love the mod unfortunately I'm not seeing the non-hormonal birth control option. I have delete entire mod and re installed just not sure what's happening.
SimlyLuv_BrittAriel
2024-01-29 15:03:18 +0000 UTCHi! Does this require wickedwhims or MCCC to work?
JellyMunchkin
2024-01-29 05:53:58 +0000 UTCHi all my mods work, so you have an installation problem if nothing shows up :)
Lumpinou
2024-01-29 01:23:33 +0000 UTCandrea ward
2024-01-29 01:05:13 +0000 UTCThat would be an installation problem or your Sim can't be impregnated
Lumpinou
2024-01-27 13:11:56 +0000 UTChey! the birth control option isnt popping up and to visit doctor but everything else is fine, any help?
natalieee
2024-01-27 05:02:52 +0000 UTCI can't even play sims anymore without this mod. it is so great, and I love everything you keep adding!!
Ashia
2024-01-25 21:31:09 +0000 UTC'go to the doctor for birth control', under reproductive health. If you don't see it, either your sim can't be impregnated or you installed wrong :)
Lumpinou
2024-01-25 02:41:52 +0000 UTCHello! How does my goes to the doctor and/or how does she get the medical methods protection? I''ve been playing for some days and can't find an option
Aliera
2024-01-21 09:18:40 +0000 UTCHi, have you tried re assigning it? If you come to discord to share a Sim log that would be useful
Lumpinou
2024-01-20 16:22:58 +0000 UTCHi, i'm using Version 2.97 of your Mod. I noticed that the Fertility of my Female Sim is always 1% when i check the Level. I use the default Cyclical Setting. In the past (previous Version) it switched between 14 and 23%. Now it never is more than 1%
Nicole Welke
2024-01-20 11:45:49 +0000 UTCThank you very much 🌷
Lumpinou
2024-01-17 21:14:38 +0000 UTCi've collected almost all of your mods...it was time to be a patron. thank you!!! Please note this a compliment: the updated pregnancy mod is wild. it's a lot to handle the new load of social interactions. it's serious stuff but i've been laughing out loud... zero glitches. when i read my MCCC script errors, they're the usual, harmless notes when a new mod is added.
see double you
2024-01-17 20:49:55 +0000 UTCHi there's no such problems with rpo, that is certainly an installation issue
Lumpinou
2024-01-16 01:26:40 +0000 UTCHiya! I am having some trouble and just thought I would reach out. I downloaded this mod yesterday and since thenI cant get any further than the loading screen and the game wont let me play any family. I have BE and it says it is this mod? I have taken it out of my game and its running fine but I refuse to play without your mod! Any suggestions on what to do?
2024-01-16 00:51:43 +0000 UTCThat suggests that you still have old files in somewhere
Lumpinou
2024-01-12 20:33:55 +0000 UTCHey I'm not able to access the new birth control version, it only he has the old birth control version.

2024-01-12 19:41:47 +0000 UTCInstallation problem :)
Lumpinou
2024-01-10 15:06:26 +0000 UTCRPO global setting won't open for me
2024-01-10 10:07:07 +0000 UTCWoohoo has pregnancy risk with rpo m2 installed. How much exactly depends on your settings. The 'failure rate' is protection failure rate, and is also customizable
Lumpinou
2024-01-07 16:24:42 +0000 UTCahhh okay thankyou! if i turn off risky woohoo will your 5% failure rate also kick in?
bubbles97
2024-01-07 09:02:17 +0000 UTCProblème d'installation probablement, faut voir des tutoriels ou passer sur Discord pour qu'on vérifie
Lumpinou
2024-01-07 00:50:19 +0000 UTCIf you have Mc Woohoo risk enabled, that doesn't listen to anything but itself
Lumpinou
2024-01-07 00:49:40 +0000 UTChelloo, my sims keep getting pregant when i use woohoo. is there conflicts with other mids stopping the birth control?

Jessica J Williams
2024-01-05 13:56:12 +0000 UTCMy sim is feverish from uniary tract infection. I can't find where to make her go to the Dr. Anyone know where it is? I have version 2.97
Jessica J Williams
2024-01-05 13:53:15 +0000 UTCYou are so amazing! Somehow you always find ways to improve an already impressive mod!
NayaMasters
2024-01-05 00:34:46 +0000 UTCHi, if you come to discord we can check out logs about your sim to see what's wrong with them
Lumpinou
2024-01-04 21:28:07 +0000 UTCGood evening from the UK! I absolutely adore you're mod and I can not play the game without it! I am, however, having a slight issue with one feature at the minute. My sim has gotten pregnant using IUI (using her husband as the donor). However, her pregnancy isn't progressing. She's had the moodlets about successful procedure after a positive pregnancy test and all the other normal pregnancy moodlets, however they don't have the time countdown to the next trimester and when I cheat it with MCCC she doesn't get a bump of anything. Not sure it it's an issue with your mod or something is conflicting as I have a lot of mods, hoping you're able to help somehow. Thank you again for your amazing mod.

2024-01-04 21:16:16 +0000 UTCThere's no known errors so if you have any, please send the report
Lumpinou
2024-01-04 09:01:19 +0000 UTCsame for me
Kenaysha Clemons
2024-01-04 06:15:12 +0000 UTCYeah :)
Lumpinou
2024-01-04 02:59:53 +0000 UTCcould send it on discord?
2024-01-04 02:59:23 +0000 UTCHi, I'd need to see the error report to be able to say anything :)
Lumpinou
2024-01-04 02:45:55 +0000 UTCmc command center keeps saying this mod is an old version and giving me an error file
2024-01-04 00:41:03 +0000 UTCHi and thanks 💙Unfortunately I have no idea what you would not be able to access the sites. It works fine here. Sorry. Happy New Year's and best wishes to you too
Lumpinou
2024-01-03 16:04:21 +0000 UTCWith the same interaction as before, it's called something like 'go to the doctor to start birth control'
Lumpinou
2024-01-03 16:03:19 +0000 UTCYay!! This is amazing! Once I get my book published and actually got around to updating my game and mods for the For Rent patch, I'll be very excited to play with these new updates!
Sheila Lobert
2024-01-03 14:12:48 +0000 UTCHello from Austria, Lumpinou ;) First of all I wish you a Happy New Year. May all your wishes come true. Stay safe and healthy. Unfortunately I cannot reach your website. I keep getting a message saying that the site is unavailable. Can you please tell me what could be causing this? Lovely greetings
Evangelina Silvercloud
2024-01-03 12:05:44 +0000 UTCHow can they get the new Birth control?

Krista Brown
2024-01-03 01:56:04 +0000 UTCThank you! This is amazing, also has become a "can't live without" mod in my game! I love it!

2024-01-03 01:30:53 +0000 UTCAwesome!!!
Samantha Jackson
2024-01-03 00:30:33 +0000 UTCYou control the rate of failure in settings since a few versions ago, so you can turn it up all the way to 100% temporarily to achieve that
Lumpinou
2024-01-03 00:29:38 +0000 UTCOh my gosh, I love this!!! Is there a way to "force" a failure protection pregnancy? I'd love to use it in story telling purposes. Ie: Teen mom who doesn't really want kids but oopsie, it happens! Thank you so much for all you do!
Samantha Jackson
2024-01-03 00:28:48 +0000 UTCIt's exactly that! A file that stores the settings set by you, the user, for the mod the setting file belongs to. When you install such a mod for the very first time, it loads with default settings. Then if you change them in game, it writes them down to apply.
Lumpinou
2024-01-03 00:17:02 +0000 UTChi what is the setting file?
kesionna
2024-01-03 00:16:03 +0000 UTCYou can always depend on me to be supportive of your work! i swear i stan for you! (in my best daphne voice!)
Ms. Book
2024-01-03 00:13:27 +0000 UTCIt's up to you. They don't conflict but I don't recommend throwing two different miscarriage systems on those poor Sims aha
Lumpinou
2024-01-03 00:07:47 +0000 UTCThank you for this update. Just a quick question. If I want to use Littlemssam miscarriage mod should I delete your miscarriage module?
Aniis Le Neve

Marie Giffin
2024-01-02 22:34:29 +0000 UTCMedical birth control of my mod is recognized by WW sex same way as before. With Adeepindo I'm not aware of any compatibility requirements based on the existence of this update
Lumpinou
2024-01-02 22:33:10 +0000 UTCWill this work with WW and a.deep.indigo's healthcare redux?
Marie Giffin
2024-01-02 22:31:20 +0000 UTCYes, the cheat would be great. It is just for story-telling purposes to give an impression of NPC autonomy that isn't active-sim driven. That's how I use the Sim Info Manager :D Thank you so much, this is such an amazing update.

2024-01-02 22:12:58 +0000 UTCThank you you are greatly appreciated!!

Kimikosoma
2024-01-02 22:01:33 +0000 UTCA few npc's have condoms and a few are auto assigned various birth control. Other than that, when asking another sim to start birth control, they don't have to be a played sim for that, your played sim can ask npc's just fine and set it up for them that way But I could also have a cheat to just make the choice and have it instantly apply if that's what you mean
Lumpinou
2024-01-02 21:59:49 +0000 UTCOh sorry I wasn't more clear. Can we assign birth control preferences to NPCs? Via Toolbox for example. This way I can assign to others without having to play them (or move them to a home to play them) or having a relationship with them. This would work best for story-telling and more casual encounters. I hope I make sense now!
Jo Cara
2024-01-02 21:59:19 +0000 UTCWhat do you mean by that? Not sure if that answers it but if your sim has a relationship with another they can ask them to start birth control in which case you can choose the type for them
Lumpinou
2024-01-02 21:53:31 +0000 UTCMakes sense lol Can we assign these options to NPCs?
Jo Cara
2024-01-02 21:53:09 +0000 UTCPull out is not taken into account by WW as being that WW has animations, that would be stupid to apply to it as the animations don't do the thing lol. The medical birth control methods are recognized by WW
Lumpinou
2024-01-02 21:44:59 +0000 UTCYou are just spoiling us :D How much is this integrated with ww sex at this point?
Jo Cara
2024-01-02 21:37:55 +0000 UTCOh cool! Thank you for your work!
Wenelda Ruwyn
2024-01-02 20:56:59 +0000 UTCNevermind!! Finally got it to load.

2024-01-02 19:58:57 +0000 UTCIs there another way to download? I've tried 2 different browsers, zoomed in and out, and cleared browser history but I can't get the links to show. Just the image that says download links with the blue arrows.
T'Lisa Jordan
2024-01-02 19:49:01 +0000 UTCI'm screaming at the ability to tell a child they were the result of a birth control failure! That's wild & exactly what I need in my game, thanks!

Christina West
2024-01-02 17:14:05 +0000 UTCFirst period ❤️, yes that's a milestone for sure! We'll see if I need it, haven't raised a female sim in 3 generations, haven't had a female heir in 4! The game just keeps giving me boys 😄
Simslegacy5083
2024-01-02 16:24:18 +0000 UTCI never had much interest in putting that in game myself. So my mod's cycle simply didn't have them. But that was a problem for many users. So now they can have it if they want. And in the end I'm not unhappy to have done it, as I kept it super super simple and didn't make myself follow my original WIP of two years ago which was hyper detailed and to be honest weirded me out aha. But like this, in the end it was fun to have an interaction to discuss first period and such so I don't regret adding the option
Lumpinou
2024-01-02 16:19:41 +0000 UTCYou are awesome! Thank you for all your hard work!
Jade
2024-01-02 16:14:59 +0000 UTCGlad to see periods are optional - though I will probably give yours a try. They are great for realism, I just never loved the WW buffs so ended up turning them off there.
