Hi! Here is a preview of the new interactions I have worked on!
👇
The animation will only appear if both of your sims are sitting on a picnic table like the one in the interaction example shown.
The animation is located under the physical intimacy pie menu category. NOT the usual More Kisses pie menu category. (I found that it would become too cluttered and hard to find so it was best to keep it out of the pie menu category)
The next new interaction is for Sweet Moments. This is an animation where your sim can give their romantic interest a love letter.

Hello! I hope everyone is having a great start to their year!
Update Jan 15th.
-If you play your game in another language and the strings were empty, it should no longer be empty.
-Fixed issues with interaction automatically happening with random sims.
The results for the poll last month showed that most of you wanted to see more animations on beds/chairs/couches.
So for the newest interaction I have worked on an new kiss animation that will work when sims are sitting. This is an update for the More Kisses Mod. Here is the new interaction.

Download Instructions:
If you use the More Kisses (Neutral Options), I changed the information to only appear in the debug menu, this way it will only show up if you really want it to. This will help reduce the clutter in the social interaction menu.
Delete Old Sweet Moments and/or More Kisses package and place this new one in the mods folder
Thoughts
It took me an embarrassingly long time to figure out how to properly add and animate the note to the Sim's hand 😓, as well as how to make the bench animation work in the game. But now that I’ve learned how to do these, I feel like even more modding and animation possibilities have opened up for me, which I’m really excited about.
Thank you all so much for your support and for enjoying the work I do while I’m learning so much along the way. I can’t wait to improve even more and release even better, more exciting content!

Hello!
I've worked on two new animations that I am excited to share. One is for More Kisses and The other is for Sweet Moments!
JAN 13! New Update Available!
PLEASE! Make sure your XML injector is updated and working. It was recently updated on Dec 4th. If the mod is not showing up there is high chance that this might be the reason.
More Kisses
New Interaction:
Handheld Kiss 👇
Sweet Moments
New Interaction:
Tender Lift 👇
Refer to the original posts for more info:
On another note:
I've also spoken with a few patrons about new animation ideas. One of them let me know they would love to see Sweet Moments include more platonic interactions. That sounds great! I am open to new ideas, but since I am new to animating, some things may be more complicated than others.
I am actually quite surprised because when I started working on the "Tender Lift" animation, I thought there was a high chance I might fail at what I was trying to do, but I’m pretty satisfied with how it turned out!
I can't promise anything specific because my skill level is still limited, but we learn and improve. So please use the poll to vote and let me know what you guys think and want!

More Traits #1 was raising an exception, this should no longer be an issue. (You only need to redownload the base)
More Traits #2 (Chatty and Health Nut), the icons should now show up for everyone
Accountant Career: Office & At-Home Mod, fixed a few bugs that were reported. (Still in Beta)

New Interaction Update: Here
This is a new mod that I've derived from More Kisses! Sweet Moments mod is a mod that will add new sweet interactions for your in-game couples. So it is very similar to More Kisses but with this mod the focus will be sweet, cute interactions.
So far I've worked on two animation for the mod, and I am currently working on two other ones. Here are the interactions.
You can find the "Sweet Moments" pie menu category under the affection tab. For this mod you just need to have an active romantic relationship with a sim to use the interaction.
Nose Nudge
👇
Close Comfort
👇
Of course after there will be buff that your sims will receive! This is an ongoing project along side more kisses. I already mentioned that I am working on two animations, that I can hopefully release next month. I also will be making a new animation update for More Kisses.
But I do have some big updates for some of my other mods that I need to work on, I will try my best!

Hello! Hope you guys are doing well! I don't want to make it too confusing with so many posts so I will just try to keep the updates here.
Patch 22 OCT
I've tested most of my latest mods. XML injector was broken in the latest patch so please make sure you update it. Some of my older script mods, might be broken though, I haven't tested them yet. My latest mods are all clear, though but make sure you update all of the other mods required for the relevant mod.
I am getting reports from more traits #1 raising an exception. So far I haven't experienced anything even with playtesting. But because I playtest on mac it might be different for PC players. So I will try be playtesting on pc to see if I can catch the bug.
Updates
Over time, as my page has more posts and updates, it can get really confusing. Some things on my page aren't as up-to-date, so I have updated my mod index to make finding mods easier.
The mod bug reporting form has also been updated to include the new mods that weren't already included. I’d like to do some cleanup on my page so everything is in one place and easier to find. I’m trying to figure out how to make my page as efficient as possible so that finding information or mods is simpler.
Of course, I also have my website, which I NEED to update. These are things that I’m working on, so keep an eye out for that. There will be updates for the patreon and my website.
New Mods
I’ve been learning and working really hard, especially on animating again over the last few months. So along with other new features for the More Kisses mod, I’ve added a new animation, which you can check out!
I've also released the More Traits Pack! I started working on it early last month and was almost done, but I got caught up in the animations, so I only finished it recently. More CAS Traits #4 is also out.

Hi! So More Kisses is finally getting a feature update after a long time. I added a new kiss interaction, changed the way the buffs outcomes work after the kiss, and added the option download a neutral kiss interaction option for anyone who is interested.
Updated 30th Oct: The text for the "More Kisses Neutral" option will now appear. The llama icon has also been removed.
Moodlet Rework
Sometimes the negative or positive reactions didn't make sense after sims would use the kiss interactions. For this reason I've used WeightedLoot, which will run different tests and based on the tests the buff outcomes would lean more toward positive or negative. Hopefully this will make your gameplay more contextual.
New Kiss
Next I have added a new kiss interaction
Cradle Kiss
👇
Neutral Kiss Interactions
Finally, I have added a new "Neutral" More Kisses option. You don't have to use OR download this. But it is an option for any body who may want to use the animations or interactions for reasons that may not be romantic.
So for any storytellers out there who may want to use the kisses but not in a romantic context for example, a kiss that was mistake, or just a "dare". But it's just optional, and you don't have to download. The option is available though. You can find it under the pie menu, "Friendly/Affection"
There will be no outcomes in from the interaction, the animation just plays by itself it is up to the user to decide the context!

Hello! Here are the new traits that I have been working on.
How does this work?
Just like you would add any other CAS trait for your Sims. For reference, you can look at the photo and these are all the traits you would find in the game. These are compatible with all of my other previous traits.
Depending on what trait you use sims with the traits or sims around the sim with these traits can have certain reactions. It's just like how the traits work in general.
Some of the interactions and outcome for some of the traits:
A sim with the grudge holder trait wont want to be around someone they share a bad sentiment with. A buff may pop up depending on the sentiment.
Love Scorned: These Sims have been hurt in the past and carry the emotional scars of failed relationships. They are wary of new romantic encounters and are slower to trust. While they can build deep, lasting relationships with the right partner, they are quick to end things if they sense betrayal or dishonesty.
Obsessive Collector: These Sims have a passion for collecting items, whether it's rare stones, stamps, or vintage furniture. They gain happiness from adding to their collection and get excited when they find new or rare items.
Forbidden Lover: These Sims are drawn to relationships that are taboo or socially frowned upon. They get a thrill from the secrecy and danger of these relationships but face increased stress when the relationship is exposed or causes drama.
Impatient: These Sims hate waiting and get easily frustrated when things aren’t moving quickly enough. They tend to rush through activities, sometimes sacrificing quality for speed.
Clumsy Genius: These Sims are highly intelligent and excel in intellectual pursuits, but they lack physical grace. Despite their clumsiness, they are brilliant problem solvers and thrive in tasks that require brainpower.
Aesthetic Perfectionist: These Sims are obsessed with aesthetics and symmetry, always striving to create visually perfect environments. Their artistic skills are top-notch, and they spend extra time ensuring that every detail aligns with their high standards of beauty and harmony.
Love Cynic: These Sims are skeptical about romance and often find traditional expressions of love cheesy or insincere. They tend to avoid romantic interactions but can still develop deep, meaningful connections based on trust and companionship. Winning their heart requires patience and genuine effort.
Grudge Holder: These Sims have a hard time letting go of past slights and are known for holding onto grudges. They tend to remember every wrong done to them, which affects their relationships negatively.
What else do I need for the mod?
Nothing
Does this mod require any DLC?
The mod is BGC. The traits do tap into each pack so having them will create a more full experience. Not required though.

Hey guys! I'm here with a few mod updates and other updates.
Actor Overhaul Update: Fixed some bugs. There was an issue where (From Relationship Building Activity would appear on all blank text) This should no longer be an issue
Senior Trip Update: Updated for compatibility with the latest patch.
Love Triangle Update: Updated for compatibility. Removed Autonomous interactions. The interactions from this mod should no longer occur autonomously.
100 Social Interactions Update: The pie menu is back based on the Patreon request. You can download either version.
More Kisses Update: Fixed some bugs, update compatibility
I've noticed that because I mod on a Mac there are some bugs that I don't notice. It is weird and I am trying to figure out why that is. Something will work on my computer but when I test it on a PC it is different. So it is something that I will need to keep in mind in the future.
For anybody interested, you can check out my new mod. It's a new concept I am trying out and would love some feedback.
New Mod (For Testers): Accountant Career: Office & At-Home Mod: Check it out here.
I am working on finishing a new traits pack. I will release it soon.
Thank you 🫶

This mod came from a Patreon request, and I thought it was a really fun idea! I wanted to get creative with it, so this is something totally new for me. I’d love to hear your thoughts on it.
The mod is all about accounting:
Features:
New 5-Level Skill: Money Mastery
As your Sim progresses, they’ll unlock powerful strategies to manage finances, invest wisely
This skill is essential for any Sim looking to excel in the world of accounting.
You can use various computer interactions to develop your MoneyMastery skill
There are various interactions that can be unlocked as your level increases.
Your sim can attempt to pass the CPA Exam which will unlock many new opportunities for them.
The MoneyMastery interactions can be found on the computer, in the MoneyMastery Pie Menu.
Once your sim passes the CPA exam they will the opportunity to join the Certified Account Career and/or become a Personal Accountant
One Level Certified Accountant Career: CPA is required
This is a one-level career. So there are no promotions.
They’ll jump right into handling key financial tasks, skipping the long grind.
Personal Accountant: Digital and In Person Clients
Your Sim can now take on clients both digitally and in person.
Digital clients offer a flexible work-from-home vibe, while in-person clients bring a more hands-on, challenging experience.
How it works:
Once your Sim has the CPA certification, they will be able to become a personal accountant. I created this feature with the idea that your Sim can have another career while also being a personal accountant, or they can focus solely on being a personal accountant. Either way, you have the option to play it how you want.
The first thing your sim needs to do is Offer Financial Services on your computer. If they do book clients, they can start working immediately. 
Your Sim gets paid every 3 days. How you handle the tasks is your choice. You don't have to complete every task before the end of your payment cycle; you pick and choose. However, the more tasks you complete, the higher your work performance will be, and the more satisfied your clients will be. You can use the Financial Health Check Interaction Option to see how well your sim is doing.
Sometimes your Sim might do exceptionally well, and if they do, they will receive a promotion, leading to an increase in their reputation, client list, and pay. Over time, your Sim can reach a point where they earn a significant income from personal accounting. This can be done from anywhere, at any time—just fulfill your tasks. Your sim can be a digital nomad if you want.
At first, you won't be able to book in-person clients. But once your Sim levels up, they will be able to. It’s pretty easy to level up initially, so if you grind hard, your Sim will be a Level 2 Personal Accountant in no time.
Once you reach Level 2, you can offer your services to any Sim through the MoneyMastery pie menu under social interactions. You can have as many clients as you want, but keep in mind that the workload might be a lot to handle. You will still need to work with your digital clients in addition to your in person clients, so keep that in mind.
With in-person clients, the workload is lighter. You can meet up with them and complete some of your tasks in person through the available social interactions. However, there is also a computer menu you can use to complete tasks for in-person clients.
Keep in mind that the performance statistics are separate, so the amount of work you do for in-person clients and digital clients does not affect each other.
Taking a Break or Quitting:
If your Sim is feeling overwhelmed or wants to go on vacation, they can take a break for an indefinite amount of time. It’s up to them to resume the job when they’re ready. They will be paid for the next work cycle but will no longer receive a paycheck until they resume the job and finish the next 3-day cycle.
There is also an option to quit the career entirely. You can return at any time, but you will start from the beginning again.
Important! If you no longer want to be an in-person personal accountant, you need to talk to the Sim you are working with quit and then quit on the computer. (This will remove them from the personal accountant role, but they can join again at any time.)"
I think those are the most important details! Keep in mind I am trying something new and I thought it would be a fun way to include a new career in the game that allows true flexibility. So I would love a lot of feedback on ways I can improve and things that might not make sense.
Does this mod require any DLC?
No, it does not.

Hey guys!
I hope you are all doing well! Just a few updates on everything. I have been super busy this past month or so. I had exams, presentations, and essays almost every week, so it was really stressful. I still have quite a bit of schoolwork left. This is the last stretch with college, though, so hopefully, I pass all of my courses and finish on time!
I mentioned that I was working on an animation and wanted to release it in June, but I really didn't have time to work on it. Since I am learning a completely new skill, I don't want to release something that isn't good. So I will need to keep practicing but haven't had much time to work on it.
Mod updates:
I am getting reports that the More Kisses Mod is broken. I've tested it and asked other testers, but I am not detecting anything in my game. I also don't know what is broken for people, because the reports just mention that it is broken. So in order to figure out what the issue is, I will need more details!
The Expanded Relationship Storytelling Mod is also broken, and I need to work on that. With the new pack coming, I am assuming a lot of my romance mods will be broken. I will be on the lookout. I have an exam during release week, so it might be difficult to stay updated, but I will really try!
I am super excited for the pack though, as I love everything romance. I am already thinking of different ways I could incorporate my mods with it or create new mods using the pack!
Finally, I released a new feature/addition for the Country Club Mod, which is the Debutante Ball. You can find it here. I am working on adding all the features from the OG Country Club mod to this one, but I want to make it more expansive, so it will take some time.
As always, thank you guys so much. I really appreciate all the support!

The Debutante Ball feature is finally here! This version is a bit different from the previous one I made. It will still consist mostly of rabbit hole events, but this time I did more research about debutante balls, how they work, and what makes them unique compared to other balls.
Introducing the Debutante Ball mod! You do need the Country Club Mod to use this mod.
How does this mod work?
Your Sim needs to be a member of the Cedar Creek Country Club and a teenager.
If these requirements are met, you can use your computer to apply to be a debutante ball participant. All of the interactions are located in the Country Club Pie Menu, under Debutante Ball. This is just a formality; all members will generally be invited to apply.
There are three requirements to be able to go through with the application though:
Written Approval from Parent/Guardian: Your parent/guardian can use the computer to write an approval for you. Once this step is complete, it will be greyed out.
Interview with Program Director: Your Sim will have a thirty-minute to one-hour phone call with the program director to get to know the applicant.
Debutante Committee Subscription/Donation: Your Sim will pay $3,750 as a contribution to the Debutante Ball Committee.
Once you have completed all of the steps, your Sim can submit the application. They will receive a call a few hours later, letting them know they have been invited to participate in the ball. If you do not receive a call, check the computer; you might have missed the call, but the invite was still received.
Once your Sim has been invited to apply, they better get started with the prep! It is long and requires a lot of work, especially if you want the best possible outcome for the ball.
There are a few activities the debutante is expected to participate in to prepare. They are not mandatory but are highly recommended. These activities are also TIMED, so if you don't attend during the specified time, you will miss them.
There are two versions of this mod: a long version and a short version. I created this mod with the long version in mind. Based on my research, preparation for debutante balls takes a lot of time. I wanted this to be a "year-long" event. Each week, your Sim will have some activities they should partake in before the final event.
This means that once your Sim is invited to participate in the ball, they have about a week to partake in that week's activities. These activities will no longer be available after a week, and new activities will be available for your Sim. I hope it doesn't sound too complicated, but once you play, it will be pretty simple.
For those of you who do not play long games, there is a short version. The short version has 3-day intervals, so you have less time for activities, but the event will happen faster.
Week 1
First Dance Rehearsal
First Etiquette Class
Week 2
Second Dance Rehearsal
Gown Fittings Begin
Second Etiquette Class
Week 3
Third Dance Rehearsal
Hair and Makeup Trials
Third Etiquette Class
Week 4
Final Dance Rehearsal
Final Gown Fitting
Photo Sessions
Event Briefing
Attend Ball
There are also a few social interactions available. You can find them under the Debutante Ball pie menu category.
Debutantes are usually accompanied by an escort. You can ask any Sim to be your escort, whether romantically or platonically.
You also have the opportunity to invite any Sim. When sending out the invites, make sure to include your escort. Regular tables allow for four seats, but your Sim can purchase a larger table with six additional seats, allowing your Sim to attend the ball with a total of ten guests.
Once you are in the fourth week you do need to make sure you complete the events before time runs out because the interactions will dissapear.
A couple of buffs from the mod.
There are a lot more buffs. I could not screenshot all of them!
If your sim performs exceptionally well at the ball, they have the chance to win a few awards. Depending on skills, traits, and life skills, they can win different awards.
Debutante of the Year: Award for the debutante who performed exceptionally well.
Best Dressed: Award for the debutante with the best gown.
Most Graceful: Award for the most graceful dancer.
Your sim will earn the Debutante Trait after the ball. This will give a boost in a lot of things in life. Include social skills. They will also be able to talk to current Debutantes by giving them advice.
Important
The long version's "Attend Ball" event is only available from Friday to Saturday.
Both the long and short versions start at 4 PM and last for 5 hours.
If you want to go the extra mile with planning. Your sim can book extra lessons, which will increase their charisma and manners. It can also be helpful for more prep if your sim missed certain activities. (Also helps towards winning Deb of the Year Award)
The final gown rehearsal will bring your Sim into CAS. You can use this opportunity to edit your Sim's formal outfit for the event.
That is all I can think of for now. The mod is pretty streamlined though so it should be pretty easy to use. Let me know if you have questions.
Does this mod require any DLC?
No, it does not.
What else do I need for the mod?
Country Club Mod: Here
Lumpinou's Mood Pack Mod, so it is required for the mod to work properly.

Hello! Unfortunately, Rock Ridge Country Club has closed down due to financial mismanagement and embezzlement. However, your sims now can join an even better club: Cedar Creek Country Club!
I’m excited to announce that I’ve completely reworked the Country Club mod from scratch. This mod holds a special place in my heart as it was the first one I ever made, and I’m thrilled to present it with improved quality and new features.
If you’ve used my previous Country Club mod, you’ll notice both differences and similarities. So, how does the new mod work? Your sim can apply to become a member of Cedar Creek Country Club. This time, the process is more challenging, with the possibility of rejection, requiring more effort both financially and mentally.
However, the application process is streamlined for a smoother experience. Steps to become a member:
Pay Application Fee: This is a 5000 simoleon nonrefundable fee.
Fill out Application Form
Schedule Interview: Choose between two time slots and attend within 24 hours.
Write Letter of Interest
Submit Reference Letters: Cedar Creek requires two reference letters from current members. Your sim can ask a member directly or post on the Cedar Creek community forums. If a member is interested, they may call and offer to write a reference letter. This method is more challenging.
Attend Information Session (Optional): If you have questions about the club or application process, attend an information session available on weekdays.
Once you have completed all of the required items, you can submit your application. Within 24 hours, you will receive a call from the Club. If you do not receive a call, you can check the Country Club app on the computer to review the decision.
Unfortunately, the acceptance rate is low, and your sim has a high chance of being rejected. However, several important factors can significantly boost your sim’s chances of acceptance:
• Household Funds
• Fame Level
• Reputation
• Job Type and Level
• Charisma
• Interview Outcome
These elements can greatly increase your chances of getting accepted into the country club.
If your sim gets rejected, there is a slim chance to try again, which I will discuss below. However, if your sim is accepted, they have one week to attend the initiation ceremony to officialize their status as a Cedar Creek Country Club Member.
Once they become a member and pay the $10,000 initiation fee, your entire household will also gain Cedar Creek membership.
As a Cedar Creek member, there are ongoing fees to pay. You can choose to pay annually (over four weeks) or quarterly (over one week). It’s important to stay on top of these payments to maintain your membership. There are many activities your sim can partake in with family and friends. You can find these options on the computer in the Country Club pie menu.
If your sim does not pay their membership fees on time, they will receive two warnings. After the second warning, they have 24 hours to complete the payment before being kicked out. Once expelled, it will be extremely difficult to get back in.
Rejection/ Kicked Out: Appeal
Your sim can try to appeal to the country club if they have been rejected, kicked out, or blacklisted. The chances of getting another shot are very low, but high charisma can significantly help.
If they get lucky and are invited to meet with the admissions committee, they have a few hours to attend the meeting and must commit immediately. If they were previously kicked out, they will still need to pay the initiation fee again.
Lot Trait
I have also added a Country Club lot trait with the mod. So as a Cedar Creek member if you don't feel like going to rabbit hole activities you use the country club lot trait and use it on any lot.
I wanted the Country Club lot trait to be customizable, so random members won’t show up automatically; you need to assign members to make it exclusive.
You can assign members by left-shift clicking on the computer and finding the option under the country club pie menu. There are a few social interactions available for different sims at the country club, depending on their roles.
The lot trait is straightforward, but the key is to assign members. You can also remove members using the same method.
Does this mod require any DLC?
No, it does not.

Hello! Ok so with my more kisses mod I would love to release more packs regularly. But I usually work with other animators to get that vision out because I am not the best animator (I suck).
But in the past months, I've really been studying, learning and practicing and stuff. It's taking a lot of time but I am really enjoying the learning process.
I've still got a lot to learn before I feel confident to put the work out there. I would loveee to release my own fully made fully made animation interaction before the end of May! And consistently release at least one animation every month. But I don't know, modding and bugs always have a way of messing with my schedule and pushing things back!
Let me share an early clip of the animation I've been working on. Again I don't even know if I'll release this specific one when its done cause I am really in my learning phase.
I've divided this animation into three scenes, in the first one they're in their standard pose. The second one they hold hands (initiated by the actor) and they finally the actor kisses the target sim on the cheek.
I am trying to do a fun cute little animation. The target sim gets flustered so I will need to work on the facial reactions and the little movement that would show the nervous sim.
Edit: Ok, I don't know why the gif is lagging. I don't know if it is just me. But if it isn't I will try to fix it because that is not how the animation looks. Thanks :)
The animation
👇
Again not even close to being ready; but I really wanted to share my progress with you guys. I will try to finish this one with the next weeks. Although since I am not really a pro I am a bit slow.
Anyways what kind of animations would y'all like to see? It doesn't have to be romantic, it can also be solo animations.
I've really been wanting to do solo cry interaction because I hate the one in-game. Like one where the sim is really sad. Maybe even falls to the ground crying? Let me know if you have any suggestions!

I hope you are all doing well! I am here with a few bug fixes and mod updates. The last patches have broken so many of my mods it's hard to keep up but the reports really help a lot so thanks for that!
I will list the mod updates and you can redownload them if you are interested :)
Expanded Relationship Bits: Fixed Issues with Forbidding a teen relationship (star-crossed lovers)
More Traits: Fixed Issue with pets randomly getting traits (New Traits Pack (More Traits)
The icons for the health nut and chatty will now properly be displayed
Nursing Home: Fixed some interactions that would no longer work.
Actor Overhaul: The mod is now properly working. I've changed a few things overall and added a new feature update for the mod. Celebrity events (New mod/Feature Update: You can read more about the changes to the mod here.
I've seen people submit about the love triangle mod and the "Reveal Divided Heart" feature. I just wanted to mention again that your sims do need to be in a romantic situation with only two sims for the love triangle to start.
I've got a few more updates that I need to work on, but I've also been working on learning how to animate and I am excited about that. You can also read more about that here with WIP videos!
Thanks a lot and have a great day! Again I appreciate the bug report forms they help so much.

The more famous your sim is the more they will be able to attend these events. At first, you will not be able to attend much but they unlock as your sims fame level rises.
At these events, your sim has a chance to have adventure moments. These adventure moments can have a significant impact or a minor impact on their career, so choose carefully. They also have the chance to meet other celebrities. Not a lot of the popups have drastic results some are more minor.
These events are a nice way to advance your sim's fame and career.
What else do I need for the mod?

So excited to share the mod i've been working on! Here is the Love Triangle Mod. Mapping this concept out was a bit difficult because I didn't wasn't sure how I was gonna go about creating the base structure. But I think it turned out fine in the end.
Here is everything you need to know:
Requirements for Love Triangle to appear
Once these options open up you will have the option to "Reveal Divided Heart". This would be underneath the Love Triangle pie menu (which is under the romance pie menu).
Once you choose to reveal divided heart, your sim will then be able to use the contextual love triangle interactions.
Note: Just because your Sim has revealed that they are in a love triangle, it doesn't mean that being romantic around either Sim won't result in jealousy. They can still experience jealousy; they are just aware that the Sim has feelings for them and another.
There a few interactions available for both the center and the two love interest.
Most of the interactions are pretty straight forward but that there are few that I will explain more.
The love interest also has quite a few interactions available to them.
Being in a Love Triangle isn't something most people enjoy. So the LI's (Love Interests) do have a few interactions of their own.
Demand Explanation: The center has the option to sneak around (preferably with one of the love interests) and when they do the LI can "Demand Explanation" as to why they were sneaking around in the first place. This can really upset the Love Interest. You have 24 hours to confront the sim after they were sneaking around before the option disappears.
Ultimatum: The LI can also give the center an ultimatum. The options you can use after using the ultimatum interaction could be, "Open Relationship, End Relationship or Make Choice". But you do not have to. I wanted to make this as flexible as possible.
Both love interests have these options available to them.
The only way to end the love triangle are the interactions I told you about above. If you want to go through the open relationship path, the love triangle will end. Both the center and LI can propose an open relationship.
Since there are already lots of great open relationship mods, I didn't expand on that part because there are so many other ones that would be more fleshed out.
Your sim can also talk to someone they are close to about their predicament. The friendly love triangle option is available under the "Gossip/Other Sims" menu.
You also need to have a 80+ friendship level to have these interactions open up.
I talked about "Sneak Around" earlier. The option is available under the active sim (center's) "Love Triangle" pie menu.
Explore Feelings and Reflect on Feelings are solo interactions. This basically involves your Sim think about how they feel. Depending on how high or low the relationship bar is with either sim you will can get a hint on how your sim is feeling about each Sim.
Finally there is the "Final Choice" . Once your Sim is ready to choose the SimPicker will popup. Be SURE to press on the Sim you are in Love Triangle with. Or else the game wont properly recognize that the Love Triangle is over.

I have checked and tested most of my mods (except, the ones that have their own script files. All the mods with XML injector should be working fine.) I have updated these mods, so download :
Teen Stories and Activities
Mean (No-Impact) Social Interactions
Nursing Home Mod
More Traits (Bundled)
These are not feature updates but updates to fix the latest patch.
If you are having problems with the mods let me know recently from the update.

Hey, I hope you're all doing well. :)
If you weren't already aware, EA released a new update yesterday, and it was more destructive than expected. I will need to test all of my mods, but based on the update details, most of my mods are broken. Updating them might take some time, but I'll keep this post updated with each mod update.
For those with all/most packs: This may not apply to you, as most mods should still work fine. However, since many of my mods use XML injectors, please make sure to download the new versions.
Also, regarding the malware situation a few weeks ago, I want to clarify that this is the only place where I upload my mods; they're not available anywhere else.
I'm currently working on updating the mods and will be updating this list. As usual, please use the bug report form for any issues—it really helps a lot!
Thanks!

Hello! Here are the new traits that I have been working on. I have made 15 new CAS Traits
How does this work?
Just like you would add any other CAS trait for your Sims. For reference, you can look at the photo and these are all the traits you would find in the game. These are compatible with all of my other previous traits.
Depending on what trait you use sims with the traits or sims around the sim with these traits can have certain reactions. It's just like how the traits work in general.
Gamer: These Sims gain significant happiness and stress relief from playing video games, may become tense if they haven't gamed for a while, and excel in tech-related careers.
Cuddle Bug: These Sims love giving and receiving hugs, gaining positive moodlets from cuddling with loved ones and pets.
Fairy-Tale Fanatic: These Sims are obsessed with fairy tales, feeling happy when reading or discussing them and often aspire to live out their own fairy-tale romance or adventure.
Baker: These Sims find joy and comfort in baking, experiencing mood improvements when making and eating baked goods.
Memory Keeper: These Sims cherish memories more than most, often reminiscing about past events, which can significantly affect their mood.
Vintage Lover: These Sims have a passion for all things vintage, gaining happiness from wearing vintage clothes and decorating their homes with retro items.
Home Chef: These Sims love cooking at home and experimenting with recipes, gaining positive moodlets from cooking meals for others.
Body Conscious: These Sims are often critical of their body, frequently feeling insecure and may seek validation or comfort from others regarding their appearance.
Love-Struck: These Sims easily fall in love, often feeling elated in romantic relationships but may experience deeper sadness from breakups.
Monogamous: These Sims prefer deep, committed relationships, gaining substantial mood boosts from stable relationships but may feel insecure with casual romances.
Heartbreaker: These Sims find it easy to start and end relationships, gaining confidence from romantic conquests but potentially leaving a trail of broken hearts.
Natural Beauty: These Sims are confident in their natural appearance, often receiving compliments and feeling happy without makeup or styling.
Elegantly Aged: These Sims age gracefully, often receiving compliments on their mature beauty and feeling confident in later life stages.
Body Positive: These Sims love their body in all its forms, often inspiring others to feel the same and rarely feeling insecure about their physique.
Hairstyle Hobbyist: These Sims love experimenting with their hair, feeling happiest and most confident after a visit to the salon or trying a new hairstyle at home.
Unkempt: These Sims don't prioritize grooming, often feeling indifferent to their messy appearance but may occasionally feel embarrassed in social situations.
Age Insecure: These Sims struggle with aging, often feeling sad or anxious about getting older and may seek rejuvenation through various means.
What else do I need for the mod?
The Mood Pack (If your UI disappears or there are UI issues after you play an animation with a mod it is because the Mood Pack isn't properly installed or installed at all. Please make sure you make note of this.)
Does this mod require any DLC?
The mod is BGC. The traits do tap into each pack so having them will create a more full experience. Not required though.

Updated 30 APRIL 2024
Ok..more storytelling and relationship options for your sims!
(Really tried my best to push this out before the end of Jan) 😮💨
If you want more info about the mod check this page out: Expanded Storytelling Relationship Bits Mod
This time around created more relationship bits. Here they are
I wanted to try something new this time, which is why it took me so much time. I'll get into it later.
But there are a few new things I have added and changed from the previous one. First off, there are more interactions available: social interactions, phone interactions, and rabbit hole interactions.
Each one of these interactions corresponds to a specific relationship bit.
Healing Touch: 'Plan Relaxing Activities Together,' 'Offer Comfort through Hugs and Physical Touch.'
Wisdom Seekers: 'Ask Questions about the Universe.'
Unbreakable Connection: 'Celebrate Anniversary of Enduring Connection,' 'Promise Everlasting Friendship' (Only available pre-promise).
I do need to note that, just like the other mod, many of these are cosmetic and don't have a full effect yet. (Emphasis on 'yet,' as I will slowly but surely make these more functional.)
If your Sims have the Wisdom Seeker, Tech-Savvy Partners, or Night Owl Companions relationship bits, some interactions will unlock on the phone:
Wisdom Seeker: Study Together at the Library
Tech-Savvy Partners: Send Tech News
Night Owl Companions: Night Time Activities Menu
(Regarding nighttime activities, I haven't found a workaround for this issue yet. However, here's a temporary solution: When selecting an activity for the two Sims who have the rabbit, choose the Sim you want to go with first, and then select yourself again using the same option. I'm not sure why this happens, but it can be a bit inconvenient. I'll work on making the process more streamlined in the future, but for now, this is how you can get them to go to the same activity.)
The new feature I've been working on, which I'm quite excited about, involves social interactions. I've always felt that many social interactions lacked depth and context. So, what I'm currently working on is creating social interactions to fill that gap
One of these interactions is 'Provide Emotional Support,' which is available for Sims with the 'Healing Touch' relationship.
In this interaction, your Sim will be presented with several options when they are feeling sad. Your Sim can choose from these options to express why they are feeling sad. Once they make a selection, the other Sim will ask for more context, leading to the exchange of contextual advice and reassurance.
I've also developed another social interaction, 'Try to Confess Feelings,' which is available for Sims experiencing 'Unrequited Love.
Attempting to confess your feelings will lead to various outcomes depending on the option you choose. In this interaction, the Sim who hears the confession will have several response options available.
The choice made by the listening Sim will have an impact on their relationship, both romantically and platonically. Some response options may harm the relationship more than others.
The way the Sim responds through the animation doesn't affect the outcome. I've designed it this way to leave the choice entirely in the player's hands. However, unless both Sims are in a flirty mood and have a high friendship level, the Sim who hears the confession will always use the rejection animation. Nevertheless, this animation choice doesn't alter the outcome.
The social interaction 'Forbid Relationship With' can be used either before or after designating two Sims as star-crossed lovers. Some of the options will even add the 'star-crossed lovers' relationship bit to the two Sims (if they didn't have it), while others will remove it (if they did have it).
The interaction can be found under the Mean -- Arguments Pie Menu Category. Only a parent, grandparent, uncle, or caregiver can trigger the interaction.
Depending on the chosen options, the relationship can either suffer a negative or experience a positive impact. While all of the options will influence the relationship, certain responses will have a significantly greater effect on it than others.
These are all the main points! I hope you all enjoy this new feature because I'm eager to create more! There will be additional interactions and other things I'll be adding to this mod. I'm constantly learning new things, and it's truly enjoyable to implement them!
Where to find the social interactions:
Does this mod require any DLC?
No, it does not.
What else do I need for the mod?
Lumpinou's Mood Pack Mod, so it is required for the mod to work properly.
You can get the mod here.
If you already have it great! But make sure it's up to date. Otherwise, it will break the UI

Questions and concerns you might have?
I want to remove the relationship bit
After you set the relationship bit an option to remove it will appear in the same pie menu.
Some interactions aren't showing
The interactions depend on the relationship bit you may have with a sim. For example, only sims who have had a summer romance can "Share Summer Memories. Only Study Buddies can quiz each other, only long-distance relationship simmers can have virtual dates etc...
I'm experiencing some weird bugs!

What is this mod?
The Standardized Test Mod opens up a lot of new interactions for your teens to delve more into their academics. Prepare your Sims for success as they gear up to take various tests, and measure their proficiency.
Features
Sign up for Exam
The SAK exam is exclusively for teenagers and aims to mirror a slice of high schoolers' lives. Standardized Exams are a significant aspect of student life, and I wanted to incorporate a bit of that into the game. Sims has various steps to get ready for the exam, but there are certain registration periods to follow. Additionally, students can acquire a SAK late registration ticket, albeit at a higher cost.
Regular Registration - from Sunday to Tuesday $150
Late Registration - Wednesday to Friday $190
(Exams are on Saturday)
Meet With Guidance Counsellor
If your Sims face financial difficulties and can't afford a ticket, they can meet the guidance counselor to see if they're eligible for a fee waiver. If eligible, they can sign up using the regular option at no additional cost. However, if they're buying a late ticket, they'll have to pay the late fee.
Buy Test Prep
Your Sim also has the option to purchase test prep books, which significantly aid in achieving higher scores. However, they're quite expensive. If your Sim has the means, it's highly recommended to invest in these prep books. They're a great way to enhance your score.
Use Free Online Tools
If your sim cannot afford to pay for the books it's okay! They can also use the free online tools at their disposal. The free online tools though are less useful in helping your sim achieve a really high score. They still can, but you really need to invest your time in them.
Hire Tutor
Your Sim can also hire a tutor, but it will come at a cost with varying fees. Tutors can provide valuable advice and guide your Sim through the studying process. They can either come over or meet at a designated location (rabbit hole). You can also hire as many tutors as you would like.
Exam
When your Sims are ready for the exam, they can attend on a Saturday at 7 a.m. Make sure they're on time as the doors close at 8 a.m. The exam will last for 6 hours, and Sims will be dismissed afterward. Results will be released 24 hours later. Sims who get a really high score are usually admitted into university faster!
Scoring Structure
The exam is scored out of 300 points, and Sims can improve their score by enhancing their logic and writing skills. Besides that, they should practice as much as possible. The more they practice and utilize the available tools, the higher their score will be.

Hi guys! How are you?
First off, you can download More Kisses Part #4 right now! Here.
You can read more about it here.
I've got a few things to update you about. I wanted to discuss the plans I've been working on. I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed, but I'm genuinely committed to answering messages, keeping my mods up to date, and delivering new content.
The primary project I've been dedicating my time to over the past month is an active boarding school mod. Unfortunately, there have been quite a few challenges and some limitations that I haven't found solutions for yet. I was extremely excited to share the new mod and some work-in-progress (WIP) shots, but for now, I'm mainly in the early stages of development. The more mods I work on and release, the more experienced I become, so I'm not giving up. There's still a lot I need to learn.
In the meantime, I've been working on other mods and updates on the side. The standardized testing mod is nearly complete, and I'll be sharing WIPs soon. I've also made significant progress with the Country Club mod update. Additionally, I have a few exciting features for Custom Relationship Bits that I'm looking forward to releasing.
Lastly, I want to express my gratitude to all of you who have been here supporting me. The support and kind words I receive mean a lot to me. Thank you.
Wishing you all a great day! :)

More Kisses Pack 4 is finally ready! This new pack adds 2 new kissing animations. This time I've also included a sad hug animation, which IS romantic this time.
More Kisses is in the "Physical Intimacy" category.
Hesitation and a Kiss
👇
Tearful Tender Kiss
👇
This interaction requires the targetsim to be sad. So in other words the sim you are clicking on needs to be sad in order for the option to show up.
Depending on how close your sim is with their partner you will receive different notification outcomes. These are examples of texts you can get from someone you have a strong romantic relationship with.
Credits
Thank you to the pancake1 for their s4animtools this was so life-changing when it came to making animations available in-game!
Big thanks to Utoypa CC who always makes the best animations!

Here are the two new updates for the Senior trip and Expanded Storytelling Rel Bits mod.
Senior Trip
Mod's official post page for more info
The senior trip experience is now more detailed. Instead of your Sim voting and immediately going to the senior location, they will have to go through a few additional steps.
Sim World Names
Furthermore, I have added the option to go on the trip with Sims from existing worlds in the game, rather than worlds that do not "exist" in the game. You can choose which file you want to download.
Pre-Senior Trip Meeting
The new features that I have added, Pre-Senior Trip Meetings, are meant to enhance the immersive experience. Your sim will be more actively involved in making the Senior Trip happen.
Before going on the trip, your sim will need to attend three senior trip meetings. I designed this to be flexible, allowing players with shorter lifespans to time the meetings as they prefer. For example, if someone has Seasons installed, they could attend meetings weekly, corresponding to the seasons (summer, fall, winter), and then go on the trip in spring. This is just one example of how you can use the mod.
After the first senior trip meeting, your sim will need to vote on a location. If you've used this mod before, you're familiar with the process. You will vote, and a few hours later, you will receive a notification about the chosen location.
After the first meeting, you will be able to attend your second one. During the second meeting, you will vote on the fundraiser that your sim and their peers will be organizing. Your sim will leave the meeting, and a few hours later, they will receive a notification.
Wait until you receive a call from the student. You will notice that there will still be the option to go to the 2nd meeting, ignore it though. Once you receive the you will immediately be able to attend the fundraiser, but be careful, it may flop.
Fundraisers
Once you receive a call about the fundraiser, you have a few options. For Movie Night and Game Night, you can purchase games, which will greatly contribute to the success of the fundraiser.
Additionally, you can make a post about the fundraiser. If you have enough followers or a high enough charisma level, your post may go viral, significantly boosting the fundraiser's success.
If your class chose the bake sale, you can even bake goods and bring them to the event. It will bring joy to everyone, and if your baked goods are excellent, the chances of a successful bake sale will be much higher.
(After you finish baking the food all you have to do is put it in your inventory before going to the fundraiser)
Final Step
After the fundraiser, your sim will be able to go on their final pre-senior trip meeting. This meeting is just a debrief of how the fundraiser went. After the meeting, you will be able to go on the senior trip.
The next steps are covered in my official senior trip post, but it's pretty straightforward.
Milestone
Finally, if you have Growing Together your teen sim will now get a milestone after they come back from the trip
Download Instructions:
XML injector Required
Mood Pack Required
Choose between the three options, Fictional Names, Real Names, and Sims World Names.
Delete the old file and replace it with the new updated one.
Note: If you would like to keep the more straightforward version that doesn't require as many steps you can leave it in your game because it is not broken.
Expanded Storytelling Rel Bits
Mod's official post page for more info
I have made updates that will make this mod feel a bit more immersive. I have also fixed the llama icon that would show up instead of the actual photos.
Milestones (Optional, Growing Together Required)
If you have Growing Together you should keep the optional milestone package files. Once you set relationship bits a milestone will be unlocked in relation to the relationship bit.
👇
Break-Up Removes Some Relationship Bits
Now if your sims break up some of the relationship bits will now be removed.
Here are the ones that will be removed if your sims do have these relationship bits:
Long Distance Relationship
Star Crossed Lovers
Flirty Friends
Romantic Wanderers
Puppy Love
Contextual buffs after certain interactions
Depending on certain interaction and relationship bit status your sims may get contextual buffs.
For example here a some buffs that your sims may get after getting into a relationship:

Update: Going to the physician will now result in being able to continue enrolling your elders into the nursing home.
Get ready for new gameplay for the elder life stage. Now your Sims can make the tough decisions when it comes to their elder. Say goodbye to the days of worrying about your elders' well-being, because nursing homes are now a viable option for their care.
This mod will need to tap into your sims imagination because I didn't want to make it too invasive. So when you believe your elders need specialized support, it's time to explore the world of nursing homes. This mod lets you dive into a variety of options, each with its own unique vibe, price, and perks. Whether you're looking for a swanky senior living community or a cozy, nurturing atmosphere, three options will be available. You can start by taking a look at the different nursing home options.
There are a few ways to go about sending you elder away to the nursing home. First of all, you can fill out an interest form and you will receive a call from a representative.
There are three nursing homes to choose from:
Green Tea Home Care - $1,250 simoleons a week
Du Pondersoa - $4,000 simoleonsa week
Desert Palms - $10,000 simoleons a week
Nursing Home Order
If you decide a nursing home would be the best option for your elder sim the next steps would be to, get an order from the physician. You can do this by scheduling a meeting with the physician. Once your sim is at the meeting they will be able to choose from a wide list of symptoms the elder may have. Now this is where you will use your imagination and pick the option that would fit best with your game.
Your sim may also really want to send the elder to a nursing home, for reasons that may or may not be malicious. They have the option to bribe the physician for pretty large sum of money. This could make the physician lean more toward giving your sim the nursing home order.
After your sim gets back they will receive a call letting them know that the results are ready. They will be able to consult the results and see whether or not the nursing home order has been issued.
If the nursing home order hasn't been issued, but this was not the outcome you wanted you should read the section below. But, if the nursing home order has been issued you can move on to the next step. (Keep in mind these steps are not dependent on one another. You can do them in any order you would like.)
Finances
Finances are an important part of figuring out how your sim will pay for the nursing home. There are three options to choose from:
Medicare: You will qualify for Medicare if your household funds are under 30,000 simoleons
VA Benefits: If your sim was a veteran they will be applied to apply for this (There aren't any actual conditions for it because this would make strangerville a requirement for the mod and elders who you created and have no history wouldn't qualify even if you imagined this history for them.)
Self Pay/Private Pay: Self Explanatory
Permission
Finally, you will need to get permission from the elders themselves because you cannot just force them into a nursing home against their will... unless they aren't able to make that decision anymore based on their mental health. In that case, you would need documentation from the health care provider letting the nursing home know that the elder is unable to make these decisions on their own and will need assistance.
But if you don't have this document you will need to ask for permission. You will get different responses from doing this. Ranging from positive to negative.
After you've completed all of the necessary steps you can submit your application and will soon receive a response from the nursing home.
After you, the nursing home will call your sim and let them know about the outcome. Then your sim will finally be able to send the elder to the nursing home. When you send them away make you are ready because the first payment is deducted immediately after they are admitted.
After that you will automatically pay every week, based on your financing and nursing home option the payments will differ.
Your sims can visit the elder during specific visiting hours and they may all feel different about seeing their loved one in a nursing home.
If your sim does change their mind about the nursing home they can withdraw the elder. They will return home. This would be useful in cases where your sim cannot pay any more, want to explore the other options or just misses them.
Does this mod require any DLC?

If you already have it great! But make sure it's up to date.
Questions and concerns you might have?
I didn't get the nursing home order
If you didn't get a nursing home order, you can wait 24 hours for the results to reset, and then try again you may get a nursing home order.
The elder keeps refusing the nursing home request
You have to wait a few hours before the interaction shows up again. But another household member can also ask and maybe the elder will be more willing to listen to them.
I don't want to ask for permission
If you don't want to ask for permission then make sure you select, the "memory loss or confusion" option when the doctor asks you for symptoms.
I'm being charged twice
Make sure you only select ONE payment option. If you choose something you regret you can withdraw the elder from the nursing home. Another option is if you have mc command center you can use cheats to remove the buff where you chose the financing option.
Some of this information is inaccurate
I was trying to be somewhat close to how it goes in real life, I did a lot of research about this and made the decisions I thought would suit the game best. I still may have gotten some stuff wrong and I apologize if I did.
I'm experiencing some weird bugs!
Let me know, please.

July 15th: Feature update available to download now for early access: here
I'm so excited about this! Revamp your Sims' relationships and unlock a world of storytelling possibilities with Custom Relationship Bits!
Whenever I play the game I always wanted to be able to visually see how each relationship was different so I thought it would be a great idea to add more relationship bits in the game.
I don't know if I am the only one who loves to open the Sim Info Panel and look at the different relationship descriptions between sims. Gone are the days of generic labels like "Friend" or "Romantic Interest." With Custom Relationship Bits, you can now give your Sims personalized and meaningful relationship titles that reflect their unique connections. From "Childhood Sweetheart" to "Love-Hate Relation" and a lot more, the possibilities are endless.
This mod is perfect for storytellers who want more depth and nuance in their Sims' relationships. Some of the custom relationship titles add depth to your Sims' interactions and help to shape their narratives.
You can access the relationship bit option my pressing on the target sim while you are in control of the sim with whom you want to set the relationship by clicking on actions and then the Enhanced Rel Bit Pie Menu.
Above you can see all of the possible relationship bits you can choose from. They also each have their own description. (The Secret Admirer Rel Bit is the only one-sided bit)
Some of the relationship bits have interactions that come with them. I would love to make more and expand on them but I don't know if this is something you would be interested in so let me know.
More about some of the interactions:
Travel to Visit Long Distance Partner will have your sim leave the house for about two days and return with possible different moodlets.
With the virtual date option your sim will video call their long-distance partner for a few hours and it will make them really happy.
Star-crossed lovers can share a forbidden kiss. And sims who have a love-hate relationship can share an "I hate you"(kiss).
That is all for this mod! A lot of it is cosmetic, But I think it can really help relationships between sims feel more distinct.
Does this mod require any DLC?
No, it does not.
What else do I need for the mod?
Lumpinou's Mood Pack Mod, so it is required for the mod to work properly.

More Kisses Mod here. If you don't intend on using the kissing interactions you don't need to get it.
Questions and concerns you might have?
I want to remove the relationship bit
After you set the relationship bit an option to remove it will appear in the same pie menu.
Some interactions aren't showing
The interactions depend on the relationship bit you may have with a sim. For example, only sims who have had a summer romance can "Share Summer Memories. Only Study Buddies can quiz each other, only long-distance relationship simmers can have virtual dates etc...
I'm experiencing some weird bugs!
