New Mods and Mod Updates

Hi Simmers!

Super excited because I finished my exams and I am on summer break. This past month has been a lot to deal with in terms of school. But once I finished I was able to focus on my mods again, I tried to get this out as quickly as possible but I didn't want to compromise the result.

The Nursing Home Mod is available for download. Preview

Download 

On a random day, I realized there was something missing in the game, especially storytelling-wise, if you are familiar with relationship bits in the game, this mod I released adds new relationship bits in the game. Preview

Download 

Public: 18/06/23

Fandoms: Fandoms is still in beta and I want to receive feedback before I move on with many of my plans. It needs to be bug fixed before it's ready for a full release and I still have features that I want to add.

Actor Overhaul: Fixed the gig picker screen and issue where university enrollment was required for students.

More Kisses: I've made a few background changes to the way things work. You can now only download the mod on the main page.

I would really like to apologize for the delay, I always underestimate how much time it can take to create the mods. Sometimes I can spend a whole week trying to understand why something is bugging out or why it isn't working and other times it's just RL that gets in the way.

So I truly apologize. I wish to be sure when I will finish a mod but it is always unexpected and I don't have a lot of free time. But it makes me really happy to see that my mods add some fun aspects to your game!

I have also been working on moving a lot of my mods over to XML injectors. In this way, you will no longer be required to download script files.

Thanks

:)

Mod Releases, and Updates

Hello! I hope you are all well. I have not been feeling the best these past few weeks, so my work has been a bit slower, sorry about that. ,

But, have finally released Fandom v1.0, which is still early, but I am excited for you guys to play with the mod because there are a lot of features to play with and explore! You can check the mod out here and download it here. 100 Social Interactions and the Internships Mod are compatible with the latest patch. There was a bug with one of the traits, it was the "Logical" one. This should no longer be happening.

The newest traits pack has also been released, there are a lot of new traits for more info you can find it on my website and to download it you will find it in a separate post.

Nursing Homes are still scheduled to come out this month. Hopefully, I can finish it on time. 

That's all, thank you! :)

New Traits Pack (More Traits)

I have more traits to add to your game. I hope you like them!

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.

Spiritual These Sims would have a strong connection to their spirituality or religion. They would enjoy meditation, prayer, and attending religious services.

Philosopher These Sims would enjoy contemplating the meaning of life and pondering big questions. They would enjoy deep conversations and reading philosophy books.

Street Smart These Sims would have a savvy and practical knowledge of the world. They would be able to hustle and negotiate effectively to get what they want.

Time-sensitive These Sims are acutely aware of time and may become anxious if they feel they are running out of time to complete a task. They may also be able to complete tasks faster than other Sims.

Spiritual Healer These Sims have a talent for healing others through spiritual means, such as prayer or meditation. They may have a natural ability to calm others down or heal them emotionally.

Minimalist These Sims prefer to live with only the essentials and have a talent for decluttering and organizing. They may prefer small living spaces and enjoy living a simple, streamlined lifestyle.

Fashionista These Sims have a keen sense of fashion and enjoy experimenting with different styles and looks. They may be interested in fashion design or modeling.

Animal whisperer These Sims have a natural ability to communicate with animals and may be able to train them easily. They may also have a special connection with wild animals.

Health Nut Sims with this trait are dedicated to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. They exercise regularly, eat well, and avoid unhealthy habits.

Chatty Sims with this trait love to talk and are always looking for someone to chat with. They have a natural charisma that makes it easy for them to make friends.

Jaded Sims with this trait have become disillusioned with life and society. They have a cynical outlook and are quick to see the flaws in others and their surroundings.

Unconventional Sims with this trait don't conform to societal norms and often challenge traditional beliefs and values.

Old Soul Sims with this trait have a deep appreciation for the past and often have a fondness for old-fashioned things and traditions.

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.

Questions and concerns you might have?

If you have one send it here: Trait Requests

I'm experiencing some weird bugs!

Let me know, please. I dealt with a lot of files when creating this mod, so something might not work the way I wanted it to work so please let me know about that so I can fix it.

Report it here: Mod Bug Report

I have different questions about the mod.

Honestly, I don't blame you. I might not have explained everything too well, so if you have questions about something, let me know.

How to install the mod?

You can choose to download whichever trait you want from the downloads below OR you can download the zip file "Maplebell More CAS Traits #2" If there are also traits you do not want then you can delete them from the folder.

Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/Mods <--- Unzip the file and make sure it's placed in this path.

Fandoms Mod (BETA TEST V.1)

The first part of the fandom mod is finally ready!

Your Sim will be able to join a fandom and declare themselves fans of games, movies, or/and singers.

These above are all of the fandom options your sim will be able to join.  The fandom singers are fictional, but they are all based on real-life singers and bands from around the world. The games and movies are based on the actual game so these are movies and games your sim will interact with.

Your Sim can join as many fandoms as they want. You can find the "Join on Fandom" option when you click on the active sim.

The other mod options you can find on the computer. You can now buy movies and games before being able to play with them but read the note I make about this down below if you want to use this optional addition.

Some Features:

Open Blog About

Opening a fandom blog is also a new option now for your sim. Same with writing fanfiction, great opportunities could happen to your sim if they are a skilled writer. 

Read and Write Fanfic

Your sim will be able to write its own fan fiction and publish it online. There are also many opportunities that can come from writing fanfiction depending on how skilled your sim is. You can also read fanfiction if your sim is not a writer.

Find Upcoming Events

Your sim can also attend concerts using the find upcoming events feature. Your sim does not have to be a fan of a singer to attend these concerts. They can do it either way, but the experience is much better if they are a fan.

Once your sim is notified that there is a concert, you will be alerted once ticket sales go live. Depending on when the concert will take place you will be able to purchase tickets. 

But if the concert is happening soon, you will only be able to buy tickets from resale websites, which will be way more expensive and may really upset your sim. Some tickets are harder to get by than others and your sim may need to keep trying to buy tickets. 

This is the first part of my fandom mod. I want feedback and reports on this part. I have a lot of planned features that I am excited to share. 

Buy Movies and Games optional package: Adding this package will require you Sims to buy the games and movies before watching or playing them. But if you buy a movie for example you will be able to watch it but you will notice that if you want to watch it with other people, like non-household members you will need to give them "Access to Movies and Games" you can simply do this by enabling testing-cheats, leftshit clicking on a Sim and then this issue will be resolved. But this package is optional you do not need to download it. This package might also conflict with other mods that override this system. So keep that in mind.

What else do I need for the mod?

Lumpinou's Mood Pack: Here

Questions and concerns you might have?

Who are these singers

They are fictional, but I based them on real-life singers.

Will you add more to this?

Yes, but first I need testers and feedback on what I have already done. I need to make sure this first part is bug free.

I'm experiencing some weird bugs!

Let me know, please.

Next Features:

Parental Reactions 

Merch

Next Month Plans

Hello everyone. I hope you are all great!

I just wanted to update you all about what I plan on releasing next month and the updates to my current mods. 

So next month I plan on releasing the Fandom mod and Nursing Homes. I don't have an exact date yet, but you can expect them to be released next month.

Fandoms (Expected Release Early April) 

Nursing Homes (Expected Release Late April)

I have mods that need updates and changes, I am also working on those. Some of the bugs that have been reported though are taking me more time to figure out than others. I apologize, especially to those who have been waiting for a specific mod to come out. But I just want to let you guys know that the only mods that I have will not update anymore, are the events mods and the after-school activity homework mod. 

But other than that I have finished some Patreon Mod Request, it is available for the Well Hello There tier and The Ice Cream Sundae tier. Four new traits are available, Conservative, Feminine, Dreamer and Ballerina. It will be available to download for everyone a week from today.  

Thanks a lot and have a great day. 🍓

Patreon Mod Requests

Hello! I have worked on the first round of Patreon Mod Requests. 

These traits are all requests. 

Feminine 

These Sims will naturally be charismatic and good at conflict resolution. They will also build cooking and parenting skills much faster. 

Dreamer 

Dreamer Sims excel in creative skills and are usually inspired. But they aren't as good with logical skills and will have a harder time building skills in that category. They can easily get frustrated when working on those types of skills.

They can talk about their desired dreams to boost their spirits and this can usually inspire them.

Ballerina

Ballerina Sims are very athletic and have a huge dancing advantage. They will build their fitness skill much faster than other Sims and they really enjoy dancing.

Conservative 

Conservative Sims don't like to go beyond the norm and they'll believe in traditional roles and traditional values. 

That's all for this month! Next month I will make more. And for those of you who submitted requests, I have emailed or messaged you. 

More Kisses Mod #3 + Bonus Sad Hug

More Kisses Pack 3 is finally ready! This new pack adds 2 new kissing animations. This time I've also included a sad hug animation. This is not romantic and can be used by any sim. This set of animations was also made in collaboration with Utoypa CC who worked on the animations. They make a lot of fun different animations. Check out their work because it is truly incredible!

This pack brings three new animations. More Kisses is now in a different pie menu category. Once you click on Romance, you will find it under "Physical Intimacy"

Searing Kiss

👇

Frenzied Kiss

👇

If you are familiar with More Kisses then you know that there are moodlets that happen after the kiss, I have now added a bunch of new moodlets over 30 and there can also be negative moodlets. I have also fixed the problem where every time after a kiss sims would get the first kiss moodlet.

Finally, the soothing snuggle interaction has been something I have wanted in the game for so long. This interaction will be available to a sim who is close to another sim with, at least an 80+ friendship score and if the targetsim is sad.

The sim will comfort the other sim by hugging them. Let me know what you guys think about having interaction for different situations.

Soothing Snuggle

👇

Possible outcomes after the interaction

Known Bugs

The only thing I have noticed so far is if you want to run this animation, try to run it alone without anything else in the queue, that is how it will work best.

I would appreciate reports on any bugs that may arise.

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!

Requirements?

You need:

XML Injector

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.)

BG Compatible

Future Plans and Updates

More interactions. Once I create more animations I will make the selectable interactions option.

How to install the mod?

Download Here

You can now download the entire more kisses pack on the more kisses mod #1 pack

If the mod isn't showing up then xml injector isn't properly installed or installed at all. 

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.

Patch Day

Update: More Kisses #3 is out now

Hello guys and happy patch day!

I cannot wait for the new update and I am sure you are excited too. This update will be really big so I am not sure which one of my mods will break. But just as a precautionary measure, you should expect them to all break.

Make sure you take out your mods if you want to play the new update and also back up all of your saves. I will be immediately working on updating my mods as soon as the new patch comes out, but I don't know how long it will take.

I will be updating this post regularly as I work on the mod updates. Finally, the More Kisses mod update is basically ready, I've fixed a lot of bugs and added new animations. I will wait for the update before releasing it though because I don't know how it might to it.

That will be all! Thank you very much.

Updates

Hello!

Hope you're all good. I just wanted to reach out and apologize for being inactive for the past month. Between school and work, I've been super swamped and haven't had much free time to spend online.

But I am here with a new mod that I am very excited to share, mod updates, and just other updates. 

Actor Overhaul Mod - I just released an Actor Overhaul Mod and it is the biggest mod I have ever made. It took a really long time to make but I had fun doing it! I am super excited for people to play with it. The mod is in EA right now, it will be available publicly on March 26

More Traits - I truly wanted to have this out earlier, but the circumstances didn't allow it. But there is now an unbundled version of this mod!

Instrument Lessons - There was a bug where every time your sim would join the career, save and exit the game, the career would be removed. This is now fixed. 

Other mod fixes: More updates will be coming soon. Thank you to those who submitted the broken mod report forms. Don't worry, I see all of the reports and I am working on them.'

Other mod feature updates: Those are coming soon! I am working on a few updates with the internship mod (also making it compatible with the actor career mod) 

Patreon Mod Requests: For those of you who submitted the Patreon mod requests don't worry I am going to work on them! If I haven't already contacted you about your request I will be doing it soon!  

Upcoming Mods:

On the poll I had set up, you guys chose the nursing home mod over the active therapist career mod. So I have already started working on it. It's not even close to being nearly done, but I will share updates about it in a separate post. The fandom mod is also coming together nicely, I will also make a separate post about that. 

More Kisses pack 3 is going to be coming out soon! I can't wait to show you guys more about that. You can expect it to be released by the 14th. 

For Translators: Thank you to everyone who sends me messages asking to translate my mods I truly appreciate it. Sometimes I do lose track though because the messages come from a lot of different places. The best way to contact me would be through my email: maplebellcrafts@gmail.com. 

Finally, I would like to remind a lot of you to use my bug report form to report bugs. It truly makes it easier for me when I am fixing bugs. My best advice would be to post the bug on Patreon, tumblr, or on my website so that I can reply. But also report the bug using the form, this way I can easily see there.  

But that's about it. Thanks! 🙏 

Actor Overhaul Mod

April 30 2024 Update: The mod should now work properly. The option to call the agent should now work. Ward Student Recruiter will also come as planned.

Divided the mod into different features. Delete the parts you are not interested in keeping. BUT KEEP THE BASE FILE. 

____

July 15th Update: XML Injector now required re-download 

The Actor Overhaul Mod adds some new features to acting in Get Famous. I was super excited about the fact that there was going to be an acting career in the sims, but the career felt a little shallow after replaying it more than once. There wasn't much depth to it and I wanted to add some features that could make it more fun.

What is this mod?

Here are the new additions I have added with the mod.

Actor Dashboard

I have created a dashboard, for actors and aspiring actors. This dashboard will only be available if you have the acting skill. The first option you can choose is Browse Acting Roles. It didn't make sense to me that you could only be an actor, or have gigs if you chose the career. So with this new menu, you can browse through different roles and sometimes make money. Some jobs can also increase your fame and reputation. Other jobs will decrease them.

So with this new menu, you can browse through different roles and sometimes make money. Some jobs can also increase your fame and reputation. Other jobs will decrease them.

The next option is to sign up for the Ward School of Arts Acting Department. This will be in a separate section. Down below.

You can also take Local Acting Classes. This option was made for sims who may already have jobs and do not have a lot of time to focus on acting, but they still do what to increase their acting skill. The local acting classes are evening classes and you need to pay the $100 fee to attend each time.

Preparing Headshot, Acting Resume, and Demo Reel will increase your reputation and give you a boosting career-wise.

One is more expensive than the other. So naturally the result you get from the more expensive one will be better. Once you gather all of those materials you will be able to submit to auditions and casting calls. This will give you more exposure.

Finally, you can now hire an agent. The agent is useful for a lot of things. (If you want to join the EA acting career you will still have to select an agency. I was unable to separate the two.) When you click on the "Find an Agent" option and submit your info, an agent will contact you maybe 24 hours later or more. If you aren't interested in them, simply do not pickup. But if you are press "Ok" on the call. And you will have the option to "Schedule Meeting With Agent" in the 'MB Menu' category.

The agent will come where your sim is located (doesn't have to be at home). These are the interactions you can have with them.

If you want to hire an agent. You can press hire on agent and they will now represent your sim. Keep in mind if you aren't satisfied with their work you can always fire them. There are a few things your agent can do for your sim.

The phone menu will have an agent option once you hire one. But there are also social interactions that are available with your agent. The "Find Me a Gig" will sometimes give you a gig. But the gigs are from the Get Famous pack. So if you aren't in the Acting Career the game will automatically put you in the career. Sometimes you may also not get a gig. The chances increase with your fame, skill, and rep. You can ask your agent to renegotiate existing contracts and give you better contracts in the future and if it works your sim may get paid more for gigs.

Now circling back to the Acting Student Career:

Your Sim can now join an Acting Student Career. I'd say it's a semi-active career. They do go to the rabbit hole for class, but there are interactions outside of that which make it more interactive.

First of all the first thing you have to do is to go to the 'Actor Dashboard', press on the 'Sign up Option'.

You can press on get info, this will give your sim more information about how to join the school. Once you are ready you can click on 'Audition'. A Ward Student Recruiter will show up. Once they show you MUST choose the 'Start Auditions' option. Don't press on anything else.

This will start an event and there are goals your sim will have to go through. One of the goals, 'Sword Fight'. will require a this object.

You can find it in BB. If you cannot find it, just look it up in the search bar. Finally, after you complete all of the goals you can cancel the event or wait it out. Once the event is over you will know whether or not your sim is accepted.

If your sim is admitted with a scholarship you can find the job, in the 'Find Job' section. If you are not then try again. But if you have just been admitted you will need to pay the fee first and then you can join.

Once you join the career, each level has a different objective you need to do in order to move on to the next one. In total there are eight levels.

Here are the objectives for each level

- Level 2: Perform in School Production

- Level 3: Submit Paper on the History of theater

- Level 4: Plan and Produce a Production

- Level 5: Volunteer to perform for a charity

- Level 6: Book an acting gig

- Level 7: Get your demo reel, headshot and resume.

- Level 8: Find an Agent.

- All Levels: Pass Term Exam: This is a requirement for all levels. I recommend you do this last for each one of the levels. ESPECIALLY the last one.

The first activity your sim will have to do is to perform in a school production. The way this happens is your sim will audition for a role first, and depending on how skilled they are they will be assigned a role. When your sim gets a role assigned to them they should go to practice for a while before performing in the production. If they don't practice or don't practice enough they will most likely not do well in production.

The next step which is "Submit Paper on the History of Theater" will use the computer. In the 'Write' pie menu or your computer will be available. The options that are available for your sim will increase the score they may receive, but it isn't a requirement. You can also interview a celebrity and/or actor for this assignment. It isn't a requirement. Completing this step will give you more points, but it can be hard to complete because if you don't know celebrities it's hard to do this. So doing this will truly impress the professors! Once you are ready submit the paper and then you will be able to view your score once they are released.

Plan and Produce a Production is an objective for Level 4 sims. There are a few things your sim must do to complete this objective. First of all, they have to choose a theme for their production. Then once are ready you can Start the Audition Process.

If you are familiar with my other events mod you may be familiar with the 'Hire this Role'. So for this you will need to invite people or "hire" them to cast roles for the production. Once the event starts your sim will have a few options.

This is an activity and not a timed event so you can take your time to interview sims, and hire them. For the 'Auditioners' you will be able to see them Audition. All you have to do is press on the 'Audition' interaction and then they will start acting. (If you press on the interaction and it doesn't work, click again and it should work)

When you have completed all the required activities you can cancel the event. The game will tell you the event was unsuccessful you can ignore this.

Volunteering to perform for a charity is pretty simple. There is a list of charities your sim will be able to go to. They are each available at different times and days, just select one, go to your performance and the goal will be complete.

The next objectives are objectives we have already gone over. But for Book and Acting there are gigs exclusive to Ward Acting Students.

On the last level, once you Find an Agent, you should then go to your term exam. Passing the exam will make remove your sim from the institution. Being a graduate of this school will increase your rep and fame.

Other Fixes

Aside from the new features I have also made some changes to some already existing features that I found annoying in the game. This file is optional and you will be able to delete it if you do not want it. I have changed the gig payout in the acting career. This way your sim will receive more money when they are higher up in the career. Fame will also decay at a slower rate. This way your sim doesn't constantly have to perform fame activities.

This really took a long time to make but I hope you enjoy it!

Questions and concerns you might have?

Some of this is so inaccurate and doesn't reflect real life.

I tried to do as much research as possible about acting and info about how to get started with it. Some stuff may not mirror real life and that may or may not be intentional.

Will you add more to this?

Yes

Happy Holidays + WIP + Poll + Mod Updates + New Mods + Updates

Hello all! 

I hope you guys are enjoying yourselves this holiday season and taking time for yourselves! It's been a crazy month with mid-terms and all, but this break was pretty restorative. There are a few things I want to go over today :)

First I created a form where you can report bugs.

Sometimes I am not online for a long time because of RL and I miss some stuff and it can just be really hard to track bug reports. So I created a form to report bugs. This will organize everything and make mod bug fixes so much easier. I would truly appreciate it if you used this to report bugs!

You can find the form: Here 

Next, I updated my Patreon page description box. You can now find an index of all of my mods. 

I made a few updates to the following mods,

Teen Stories and Activities 

Added more language support 

Made a new version with no required friend invite. 

100 Social Interactions

Added French Translations 

Internships

Fixed some background bugs.

Cleaned up some code 

(More Feature Updates to Come)

New Mods

Two New Mods: Instrument Lessons, More Traits Pack

More Traits Packs

I never usually download custom traits only a few. I do prefer traits that are not as invasive so I made a few traits. I tried to not create traits that have already been made, but if I did repeat I did not know there was another one out there. 

Instrument Lessons

I thought this would be a fun small mod to make for anyone who wants their sims to learn a skill recurringly while also paying for it. Your sims can sign up for Guitar, Piano, or Violin lessons and their skills will slowly get better. 

WIP

As you may know, I am working on a fandoms mod and a boot camp mod. I am still working on them.  

The next mod I want to release is an Acting Career Overhaul. The career in the game feels so shallow. So with this new mod, I am adding agents, movie promos, guest cameos, and tv shows. Those are the features I am currently working on but others might come to mind. I also want to add a Movie Director Career with an overhaul depending on how limiting the game is. 

Patreon Mod Requests

I am very excited to announce this! I've created a form for Patreon to request mods. If you have a request to make, preferably small I will make it! For example a trait or an event or a social interaction, I will make it! It might take some time depending on how busy I am, but I will. 

You can find the form: Mod Request 

Btw this isn't limited to small mods. You can request other mods that are bigger. It's just that if it is a smaller mod I will probably make it.

Finally a Poll

So, after the actor career overhaul which mod would guys want to see first? There is a 

Nursing Home Mod option. My plan with this mod is to go through an application process for sending elders to nursing homes and subsequently sending them to nursing homes. I want to add nursing home visits and other features too. 

Active Therapist Career Mod option. This is exactly what you see in an Active Therapist career. With this mod sims would come and your sim would be a therapist for them. There are also other objectives you would do and there could even be at-home therapy sessions. 

___

But that's all! I also want to thank all of you for all of the support and kindness I have received, it's so amazing! I truly enjoy doing this and seeing that people enjoy the work is so heartwarming. 

I haven't been modding for a long time, but it's definitely something I love and want to keep doing and putting out fun and enjoyable content. Thank you for your patience and support while I also have college to work on. Thank you guys so much I truly appreciate everything. 

Have a great rest of your holidays and see you in 2023. 💫

🥳

WIP Fandoms

Hey guys! I've been working on the fandoms mod for a little while now. So far I've gotten a few things done. I've also added the joining a movie and games fandom and made those functional. 

There is a lot more planned, but I just thought I would show a small preview of a few things that will be a part of the mod.

Thanks! 💫🍓

More Traits

UPDATED FOR MARCH 14TH PATCH (Infants Update)

- Fixed the bug where the Logical sims would constantly get the "It doesn't make sense bug. 

This mod adds more traits to the game. The traits are maxis match so they will blend into your game nicely.

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.

Traits and Descriptions

Serious: Sims with this trait can hardly get playful. They will usually have moods that lean more on the serious side, like focused and confident, and rarely energized or happy, and even more rare for them to be in a playful mood. Whimsical Sims annoy serious Sims.

Stoic: Sims with this trait will usually just be fine. Their mood will not really fluctuate as much. The fine emotion is usually overpowering. These Sims will also not really be sad or angry. Their angry or sad moods will have to be super powerful for your sims to go feel this way.

Peaceful: Sims with this trait don't like to fight with other Sims. Negative interactions with other Sims won't impact their relationship as much as it might when it happens to other Sims. If you have Parenthood they will develop the emotional control skill much faster. Their Wellness and Herbalism skill increases at a faster rate.

Daredevil: Daredevils love to be energized and are excited in the presence of danger. For example, if there is a fire at your house they will never freak out. They will usually even get a positive moodlet near the fire. These Sims build the fitness, rock-climbing, skiing, and snowboarding skill much faster.

Logical: This is not the same as the "genius" trait. They may be related but they aren't the same. You can be logical without being a genius. Sims with this trait just think before they act. They try to rationalize everything in life. Their mental skills do develop faster because they apply logic in real life which enables them to understand things at a faster rate.

Whimsical: Whimsical Sims love to see beyond life. They see beauty and greatness in a lot. They tend to daydream a lot and just live in another world. Sims with this trait will get the playful emotion easily and they will also be inspired easily. Because of their ability to open their minds up to so many possibilities they also are really good at writing and will develop the skill really fast. Whimsical Sims also enjoy and are good at other creative activities.

Shy: Sims with this trait struggle to build relationships with other Sims. Their relationship bar won't advance as quickly and you will need to try harder to build romantic or platonic relationships with them. They can also get stressed around Outgoing Sims because of how different they are social. Their social bar will still decay at the same rate. They may be shy but they do have the same social need as other Sims.

Grumpy: Grumpy Sims get angry really easily. They also don't get positive emotions easily. Sims don't really like interacting with them because of their personality. If Sims are around Grumpy Sims they will get a moodlet to be careful around them because of how easily they can get angry.

Sexist: Sexist Sims think they are superior to the opposite sex. They will have a hard building platonic or romantic relationships with them. They will also have a hard time building empathy and life skill if you have parenthood.

Generous: Sims with this trait love to give money away. They are happy to do it too. Even if they aren't rich and don't have a lot they will still enjoy sharing with you. They can give some money to every Sim ranging between $100-$1000 or a huge amount of money to Sims they have a higher relationship with ranging from $10,000 to $100,000

Sincere: Sincere Sims build strong relationships with others. There are honest and do not like to be around evil or mean sims. Evil and mean sims also hate being around Sims with this trait. They have a hard time increasing their mischief skill too. If they are in the criminal career they would start stressing out at a certain point.

Endurant: Endurant Sims needs deplete at a much slower rate. Their bladder, hunger, and energy will be able to last much longer. They are also really good at fitness.

Unforgiving: These Sims will have a hard time making up with sims once they have a bad relationship. If you get into an argument or fight with them the relationship bar will drastically reduce. If you have parenthood it will be hard for your sims to build the conflict resolution and the empathy skill.

Cowardly: Cowardly Sims are terrified of a lot of stuff. They will get scared so easily. If they see sims in a fight they will run away and get scared or tense. Sims with the cowardly trait will also freak out if they get in a fight. Even if they won the fight. Their fitness skill will develop at a much slower pace.

Cunning: Cunning Sims know how to talk to other Sims and are really good at convincing. They build relationships with others really fast. These sims will also be naturally good at Charismatic and the Acting Skills. They make really good politicians.

Hedonistic: Sims with this trait really enjoy the funner things in life. They live simply for pleasure. They want to have fun. A lot of it and do not think about the consequences that might follow. Their fun needs deplete really quickly and fill up relatively slowly. If you have parenthood their responsibility skill will be hard to increase.

Spoiled: Spoiled Sims are used to getting what they want to they aren't very gifted. They will easily get bored and angry. If they aren't socialized with enough or entertained their mood will plummet rather quickly. If you have parenthood their empathy, responsibility, and conflict resolution skill will be hard to increase.

Judgmental: Judgemental Sims have a hard time building relationships. They enjoy judging other sims and gossiping about them. If they are bored for a long time they will turn to other Sims to judge them about whatever. Parents with this trait don't really do well with the parenting skill. Their kids will also have a hard time building positive relationships with them.

Warm-Hearted: Sims with this trait are genuinely good Sims. being in a friendship or relationship with them is very wholesome. They only want what is best for people and relationships with them decay at a slower pace.

Heartless: Heartless Sims do not care about anything or anyone. Their mischief skill can increase really quickly. They are also really good in the criminal career path. These Sims will not cry or shed a single tear if they hear news of a Sim who passed away. Or a Sim who passed away in their presence. They might be a bit upset if their Best Friend dies, but even then it will be hard. If you have parenthood the empathy skill will basically never go up.

Pompous: There are Selfish Sims and Snob Sims, but Pompous Sims are very annoying. They simply do not care what others think about them because in their head they are just superior. They don't develop relationships with other Sims easily, but it doesn't bother them because they have themselves. Their acting skill will go up faster. If you have parenthood empathy and conflict resolution skill will decay fast and hardly increase.

Instrument Lessons Activity

This mod is a simple mod that allows your sims to sign up for instrument lessons (paid lessons) and it acts as an activity so they will slowly build their instrument skill as they go to the activity. 

You can choose between guitar, piano or violin lessons. Sometimes I do want to give my sims activities but I did want it to be paid for the realism aspect.

How does this work?

Go on your computer and you will find the "Instrument Lessons Sign Up" pie menu. You can choose between either of the instruments. Parents can sign their children up for lessons.

But after the sim has signed up for the lessons they will need to pay a weekly fee. If you want to pay the fee click on the sim who is taking the lesson and go to "Instrument Lessons Sign Up" and you will find the option to pay. If you don't pay your sim will be kicked out and they will need to wait for a little before they can sign up again. 

Every week you will also be reminded to pay for the lessons, you will have 24 hours to pay. If you do not pay you will also be kicked out.

When your sim reaches a higher level in this activity you will be able to attend recitals. Recitals happen every weekend, (Fridays) included and they begin at 5 pm. (This is only available for level 3 players and up.)

What else do I need for the mod?

Nothing.

Children's Party (No-Invite)

Hello!

This is a mod similar to my high school party event mod. This one is for children though. I always want to have parties for my children in the game, but they never have enough friends to invite.

If you don't have children to invite you can use the hire this role option. But you can also use both. So for this mod, you can invite your own friends and you can also auto-invite other kids. They will automatically show up. There are no goals and the event doesn't cost money to organize.

That's about it. You simply go through the steps of organizing a party and then the party will start.

100 Social Interactions Mod

July 15th Update: The new version no longer has a pie menu. You will find the interactions under the corresponding in-game pie menu. 

Update Dec 30

Added French Language Translations. Thanks to CanDYS for sending it in! :)

___

Sorry for taking so much time on this... But it's finally ready!

I have added about 100 social interactions in the game.

👆Here are all the possible interactions that will show up in the game.

The social interactions are more or so targeted toward close friends, parents, siblings, best friends, and grandparents. If you launch the game now and press on the "socials" pie menu, you will most likely not see a lot of interactions. This is because there are conditions required for them to show.

Since there are so many interactions it would be a really long description but there are general conditions for certain interactions to show.

- A lot of the interactions generally require a high friendship score, 80 or higher.

- Some of the interactions that have negative mood connotations will only be unlocked if your sim is in a negative mood. ie. Get out of my room, will work on teen sims who will yell at their parents when they are, sad, stressed, angry, uncomfortable or embarrassed.

- Some of these interactions also require a few steps to unlock. For example, "Yell at partner for showing private photos/messages" will only be unlocked if your partner did this. Tell on a sibling for being high or watching woohoo videos will only work if your sibling confessed to watching woohoo videos or talks about being high.

- Confessing your love for your best friend will only show if you guys have a high relationship score and if you are in a flirty or confident mood. But warning this might not always have a positive outcome.

- If you are sad and your relationship with your partner is currently low you can talk about your plans to breakup with them with sims you are close with.

- If you are in a relationship you can ask your family if they approve of the relationship.

Examples of some of the interaction outcomes 👇

I have tested all of the interactions one by one and I have not had any conflicts, so I want you guys to explore this and have fun with certain outcomes, etc.

Optional Downloads

- Wicked Whims (If you want the confess to watching woohoo video videos option).

- Basemental (Talk about being drunk or high interactions)

Known Bugs

The only thing I have noticed so far is if you want to run this animation, try to run it alone without anything else in the queue, that is how it will work best.

I would appreciate reports on any bugs that may arise.

Future Plans and Updates

For now, you need the Mod Kisses #1 Mod for this pack to work. Re-Download it if you want to dl this pack. But I'm working on making them independent of one another.

I want to release many packs where you will be able to mix and match depending on which ones you want in your game. So I will be making a base for more kisses and as I release more packs you will be able to choose whichever ones you would like. But I will also make an all-in-one pack.

There is another animation I wanted to include but unfortunately, I'm struggling to get the animation to play out properly in-game. There are a ton of bugs with it. But once I fix it I will release it as a part of this pack.

The next animations I want to include are two other kissing animations and one cry/comfort animation. For example when a sim dies or if an unfortunate event happens in your sim life there isn't a satisfying comfort animation for that. So that will be next.

You can now download the entire more kisses pack on the more kisses mod #1 pack

If the mod isn't showing up then xml injector isn't properly installed or installed at all.

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.

Little Update.

So this month has been very hectic, but I was able to do a few things that I am proud of! 

So far I have released two mods and I would like to release something else before the month ends.

My Thoughts

More Kisses Mod/?Other Interactions: I will make more of these and learn how to make everything work together better. 

Senior Trip Mod: Will be expanding this mod. It is not at the highest of my priority list right now but I will get there. 

Internship Mod: The latest patch broke a few things that I really need to fix. I am working on this.

Cybersecurity Career/Bootcamp: I will need to fix the same broken features with cybersecurity. I will work on my next career toward this mod. 

Teen Stories and Activities: I have a few bug fixes I need to work on. I also have new requests I would like to add. 

Religions From Sims Medieval: I will be updating this mod and adding some new features.

Country Club: This mod needs a complete overhaul. I'm scared to look at the code I created for it. I have definitely improved and would really like to fix it from top to bottom and add new features. 

Fandoms: I have been working on this one a ton. I have finished maybe, 1/4 of the mod, and this part is playable so I will hopefully be able to release it before the end of the month.

___

Basically, I will be heavily working on my old mods, while also adding features to the newly released ones. I don't have a timeline yet, and the timelines truly just end me giving me a bit more stress so I try to avoid them. But I will try to fit a lot of these within the next month's time frame. 

___

In the meantime, if you play some of my old mods please report bugs and weird things that may happen. I want to make sure they are as perfect as can be! Thank you guys a lot! 

Senior Trip Mod

July 15th: Feature update available to download now for early access: here 

UPDATED FOR MARCH 14TH PATCH (Infants Update)

New Requirement: Maplebell Pie Menu. You only need ONE. If you already have the file do not download it again.

What is this mod?

This mod is a little addition to the teenage life stage. It's a rabbit hole senior trip mod. With this mod, your teen sims will be able to go on a senior trip and even vote on a location.

On your phone, if you open the "travel category" option, you will find the Senior Trip option. There are two interactions there. One is the Senior Trip option; the other is to vote on a location.

There are two options you can choose from in this mod. Real Names or Fictional Names.

Fictional Names👇

Real Names👇

The first thing your sim will want is to vote on a location. If you open the Senior Trip option without completing the vote on a location part it will be empty.

Once your sim votes on a location they will be notified a few hours later once the whole class has "voted". A location will be set for your senior trip and you will be able to go.

Your sim will need to pay for the all-expense paid trip and then they will come back with a moodlet. I didn't want to restrict the number of times your teens could go on a senior trip although realistically it should only be once, but if you want to do it again you can.

Your teen sims will be gone for two days.

These are senior trip location prices:

Asos/Chile - $1350 Simoleons

Ereboria/BigHorn Forest - $350 Simoleons

Swe Che/New York  - $840 Simoleons

Tibisia/China  - $2300 Simoleons

Trento/Toronto  - $850 Simoleons

Turksca/Egypt  - $1250 Simoleons

Valilet/Paris  - $1700 Simoleons

Westacia/Rome  - $1080 Simoleons

*Btw these names were randomly generated.

Known Bugs

I have not come across any bugs. But please do report any you may encounter.

This mod is BG Compatible.

Future Plans and Updates

I will most definitely be expanding this mod way more. You can expect feature updates at some point and more depth!

New Requirement: Maplebell Pie Menu. You only need ONE. If you already have the file do not download it again.

More Kisses Mod #1

Mod Description

- Updated the animations look flow a little smoother. Because of these changes and in-game restrictions the updated version doesn't have the dialogue and sound. But the jaw animation will work and make the sims lip movements look better.

- Next week I will upload more animations and create new mod sentiments.

Hello! This more kisses mod pack will add four custom kiss interactions to your game.

- Amourous Kiss

- Steamy Kiss

- Hug and Suprise Kiss

- Shy Kiss

You can find it under the PieMenu Category, More Kisses.

It took me some months to figure out how to even get animations to play in the game and it's great that I now know how to do it. I am super excited to dive more into custom in-game animations because the game should have more! I don't know how to create good kissing animations yet, so I have talented animators to thank for this.

I also need to learn a few more things to get the animation to work smoothly, but I will be learning and improving as time goes on to give you guys the best possible work.

How Does it Work?

Interaction Example 👇

It's pretty simple, so far there are four animations that I have aded. These animations can work as a first kiss animation. If you do not want your sims to use the regular first kiss animation they can use one of these! But it also works as regular kissing animations.

If it isn't the first kiss, you will get a special moodlet.

Known Bugs

The only thing I have noticed so far is if you want to run this animation, try to run it alone without anything else in the queue, that is how it will work best.

I would appreciate reports on any bugs that may arise.

WIP. New Releases. Suggestions

Hello!

I started modding last year around December, and ever since, I have wanted to make this mod. Unfortunately, I didn't know how to do a lot yet, so my plan kept failing. I am not saying I am professional now, but I definitely understand modding a lot better.

Fandoms

The next mod I am working on is a fandom mod. Initially, it was supposed to be a teen fandom mod and also exclusively for singers. I've decided to expand it make it available for most ages, and bring new fandoms.

I'm already working on it, but I have only done what you can see in the pictures so far. I have created singers in the game that your teens can be fans of. I tried to make every singer trope, there's probably more, but there are the ones that come to mind. For example, male heartthrob, k-pop, female pop stars, etc. I created all of these Sims about a year ago, too, so you might have seen some of them referenced in my mods. 

Here are the features I have planned so far:

(Singers)

- Buy a ticket to _______'s concert 

- Open a blog about ____

- Buy ____'s merch

-Write fan mail to ______

-Sing ________'s music 

- Being able to go on re-sale websites to find tickets to a concert that may be sold out

- Convincing people to join your favorite singer's fandom 

- Gifting merch and tickets to a concert 

- Going to meet and greets

- Fighting with people online about your favorite singer.

Each other artist is loosely based on real artists and places. So the chances that your sim might be able to go to a concert or a meet and greet organized by their favorite singer will be conditional, based on where the artist is located.

Some singers will be parent-approved, and others not so much. For example, the band "Public Enemy" will be on some parents' hate lists. But other artists like Cameron Winters will be more parent-friendly. 

(Movies)

This will probably require movie hangout stuff. 

- Buy movies and own them. 

- Watch the movie you are a fan of and declare your love. 

 - Convince others to watch and maybe become fans of the movie too. 

(Books)

- Book Signings 

- Write Fan Fics 

- Go to conventions for your favorite book

(Games)

- Buy video games and own them.

- Go to conventions for your favorite movie

- Look for next video game installment leaks 

- Open a blog for this game

So far, this is what I have planned now because I'm just starting with the development of this mod; this is your chance to suggest some features you would like. So suggest away.

I've already shared multiple times that I'm working on cc and trying to learn. I am still on that. If anyone is well versed in maxis, match texture custom content creation, some help would be appreciated!

First Kiss

I am also learning how to animate. I've done some waving animations on blender and some physical interactions. But I want more romantic interactions. The first kiss interaction infuriates me. I'm tired of it, so while trying to learn how to animate because the game needs new animations. I also contacted a few animators to help me out. 

So far, I've been able to turn the animation into an in-game interaction. The only thing that I've been struggling with for the past few days, and it has been driving me crazy, is getting these sims to actually be in the proper position while the interaction is initiated. I still have not figured it out, so wish me luck.  

Moving on from that. The plan is to release a few new first kiss animations for the game. They will fit different scenarios other than the shy/surprised first kiss we already have.

If I can finally get this mod out, though, I'm not done with animations in the game, only getting started. We need more animations! 

I'm not sure when this will be ready. For now, I'm being slowed down really severely by this problem with the animations. I also don't want to rush because I want everything to be detailed and thorough, a very full and fun experience. 

I will update you on the progress though. Bye ✌️. Have a good day!

Mean (No-Impact) Social Interactions

Updated 6th March 2024

But the sentiments really slowed me down here! Anyways here it is and I hope it will be useful mod for you guys!

The mod is quite simple. There is a new pie menu in the game. This pie menu will have the same mean interactions as the mean pie menu. Except there's no rel-loss when you perform the negative interaction.

You can now shout forbidden words at your sister without them taking it to heart! How wonderful.

Some of the social interactions come with buffs, others nothing, and some with sentiments.

Here are some of the sentiments you could get. 

These sentiments are short term so they will not last too long. 

Important!

Parenthood is required. I plan on making a bgc version, but for now, it is required. 

I used lumpinou's awesome mood pack for this mod too so you will need that: here! 

You should micromanage this mod when you are using it. The game's autonomy system will sometimes make your sim perform mean interactions, so be careful. 

By the way, I will not be online today/tomorrow as it is my birthday, turning 20 and I don't know how to feel about that. 

Anyways I am very excited to use this mod, and I hope you guys will be too!

Cybersecurity Career Mod

Nov 7th. Updated the mod with latest patch fixes

Alright, first career toward my boot camp mod is done! We have a cybersecurity career.

It's not just the career, though. You will also be able to level your cybersecurity skill and do other things with this skill.

There is a cybersecurity pie menu on the computer. This is where you will be performing all of your interactions. A big part of this mod is getting your cybersecurity skill to be high enough to be hired at "Microscotch"... because it's a cool big tech company?

In cybersecurity certifications are really valued, so your sim will have the opportunity to buy exam vouchers and sit for cert exams in order to get certified.

The ethical hacking exam is unlocked at a certain level of cybersecurity skill. Also, if you get the job at Microscotch, you will need to pass the Ethical Hacking exam at a certain point in order to move on. You will be given money though, to pay for the exam.

Once you have scheduled the exam make sure that you go around the time you scheduled it or earlier. Also do not schedule multiple exams at a time. It bugs out a bit when you do that.

Once you apply for the job make sure you have what it takes. ie. certs, or university degree is also good. Your cybersecurity skill should also be pretty high..just to be safe.

If you are selected you will move on to the next step. The technical exam and the interview.

Make sure you keep checking the computer to see whether or not the decision has been reached. Once it has and you check your computer you may or not have gotten the job!

After you've got the job. You can sign your contract and start. If you do not sign it within a week, the job offer will expire.

Well, that's about it for the career!

Per usual report any bugs, I've fully tested and everything went well, but you never know.

What's next for the mod?

I plan on fleshing the skill out individually more. Also, I will be adding to my internship mod.

(And obviously the whole Bootcamp mod thing!)

Internship Mod

Updated for latest patch. March 14th 2023 (Infant Update)

!!! For some weird reason when the paid mechanical engineering internship ends there is a LE. I'm trying to figure out why this is happening. In the mean time if you want to avoid using it, that would be best.

____

This mod was supposed to be much smaller than what it is now, so I apologize for the delay. I had a project that I had to work on, which took most of my time.

This mod will introduce internships into your game. The system Your sims can now find internships, apply there and work there for a certain amount of time. I felt like this was an important aspect of professional development, especially for your sims who have just graduated high school or university or are in the middle of college and would like some work experience. I have a save where I didn't know what to do with my YA's who just graduated from college, and now I am glad I can find them up with an internship!

You can start finding internships by contacting the internship placement agency. You will find the menu on your phone in the work category. By clicking on "Go to Internship Agency," you be asked if you want to be a client.

By saying yes, you can the documents you will be asked to submit a few things. Once that is done you will be contacted by an agent. The agent will walk you through the next step.

Now the system I built for this internship mod is that you may want to be offered a job later after you are done with the internship or whatever other thing you are doing.

So the available internships are directly related to the in-game job. From all of the packs. Once you receive the call from your agent about a tailored list of internships being ready for you. You can pick one from the list. Now this list is tailored to your sim in terms of skills or traits. If your sim has certain skills or traits that match a certain internship job, then they will be given the option to choose the internship.

For example, a sim with high mischief skills will be offered a criminal job internship, or if they have evil or mean traits. A sim who is a genius might have the option to join a data scientist internship, but they won't get the medical internship option.

These are all of the internships you can choose from.

This is an example of a list that does not include all of the internships, but ones tailored to a specific sim.

Once

yo

p

ck an internship, you will choose a length that works for you. After this, your sim will go to an interview jus

to see if they are a good fit for the company. If they are then they can start the internship.

You can click on start internship on the computer in the career menu. When you are about to start you will be asked whether

or not you want to choose a travel internship. I thought it would be a cool idea to add travel internships because it would be nice to have sims gone for a while and add some nuance to the story.

The way the travel internships work is that based on the length of time you chose, your sim will be gone for that am

unt of time. Once the week, or 2 weeks or 4 weeks are over, they will come back home.

There are social interactions that may show up for you sim depending on the situation. So you should look out for those. For example, the farewell ones will only show up if your sim chose the travel internship. If your sim gets a job offer an interaction for that will be available.

After your internship is over, both the travel internship and the home-based internship, you will be able to check i

you have received a job offer.

You could not receive a job offer. You could also receive one. The job offers are also based on skill so if you suck at

l

t's say, programming, you are most likely not going to get the job.

If you do get the job offer, you can accept it, and you will start at a specific level based on what job it is.

Finally, there is a cheat menu. If you left-shift click on your sim and press cheatsiminfo you will find it. If you want to get an internship or a job offer immediately, you can use this method.

If you also want to complete an internship, you can do this. The option to apply for an internship is also in the cheat menu so if you do not want to go through the agency services you can skip it.

Important!

The mod is bgc, but the job offers aren't seeing as they are part of certain packs. You can delete the files from the packs you do not own and I believe it will be fine.

Questions and concerns you might have?

Is it BGC?

Yup just remove the files that require a pack you do not have from the folder. When you download the file you will understand the files you should delete.

The "Congratulate on job offer" interaction is bugging"

The animation I used was from Get Famous. I don't know how the game might interpret the animation with someone who. might not have GF. Please let me know if this is happening to you.

Why is the Dream Home Decorator Career not here?

I don't have DHD so I can't mod that pack.

Can we add custom careers?

If you have custom careers you want me to integrate you can tell me!

I'm experiencing some weird bugs!

Let me know, please. I dealt with a lot of files when creating this mod, so something might not work the way I wanted it to work so please let me know about that so I can fix it.

I have different questions about the mod.

Honestly, I don't blame you. I might not have explained everything too well, so if you have questions about something, let me know.

I don't know, 🤷‍♀️. But...if you have any suggestions, by all means, feel free to share!

Upcoming Mod Releases

Hi everyone, I hope you’re doing great!

I am still working on these mods I want to release by next week. In a previous post, I mentioned that I would be doing a boot camp mod. I listed the career I wanted to add there. The first career I have created is the Cybersecurity Career which I thought would be fitting because I am majoring in Cybersecurity.

The career is supposed to reflect trying to apply to a big tech company like Apple, Netflix, Google, or "Microscoth". Because certifications are significant in the world of tech, your sim will most likely have to complete these certs to qualify for the job. If you have Discover University, this can also help you get the job. I made a new skill, the Cybersecurity Skill. This skill will help you get a job offer from the company. This career is the first one I created; I will be making another one soon.

The next thing I will release, hopefully, next week, is also the internship mod. I hate that there is no middle ground between a job and no job, especially for young sims freshly out of college. Or in-between college. 

The last thing that I will release soon is the No-Impact mean interactions mod. The idea is pretty simple to take the in-game interactions and remove the negative loot. I won't be overwriting the game's original interactions. The majority of you guys voted for a separate pie menu. There are more interactions then you see in the picture but the interactions that show up are conditional. It's taking a bit more time to finish because I am trying to work with sentiments, but they're not cooperating with me. 

Another goal I'm trying to reach by the end of the month is my teen fandom mod. I don't think that is going to be possible, though. I suck at creating CC, and I am trying to learn, but that mod's core will be CC. What is fandom if you can't buy their merch to show your love? So yeah, I'll try to improve and learn how to make custom content for this mod.

That's all, thanks!

Quick Mod I want to Make.

I want to release a “no-impact” for certain negative social interactions mod. I was watching a YouTube video and read a comment about how annoying it is that negative social interactions always bring the friendship/romance bar so low. I thought it’d be a good idea to take the current in-game social interaction and make another version of them where you wouldn’t lose friendship/romance points but instead, you would just get a negative sentiment or buff. This way siblings or couples can fight, like normal people, without having to deal with the loss of friendship points.

(I won't be removing the ones that already exist. I would just replicate them but in the version, I will be making I will remove the negative relationship loss. Instead, the sim will get a bitter sentiment, or an annoying buff or something.)

I don't know how to present the new interactions in the game. Should I create a separate pie menu for the interactions or keep them in the same category and add like, "Argue (No Impact)"?

I have finally completed this mod. I have been working on it for a few months now. I basically finished it a month ago, but then I was traveling, and I had then there was the big update, so it took me a while to basically just tie up loose ends.

What is this mod?

I love focusing on my teenage sims, but sometimes I know the game can't do things that I would like them to do. So I created 15+ rabbit hole activities they can go to. But it's different because I have added a system where you can/have to ask for permission to go out and if you don't you get in trouble. For the activities, there are also some requirements, like you, need to ask a friend to hang out with you or ask someone about upcoming parties in order to attend.

In order to unlock the parent interactions, you need to left-shift click on your sim. There are three options, Permissive Parent, Uninvolved Parent, and Strict Parent. Each one of these traits has different outcomes when you interact with your sim. I didn't lock the interactions to what the game considers a parent because there might be special cases.

If you ask the sim with one of the parent traits to go out and they say yes, your sim will go out and come back and the options to confront your child for going out will not appear. If the teenage sim leaves without permission dialogue options will open up for you to confront the teenager for sneaking out.

If you want don't want the social interactions to appear for a teen who went out without permission you can select the option Has Uninvolved Parent, by left-shit clicking on the teenage sim.

There are also social interactions available among the teens themselves.

If you try to organize a sleepover, hang out at the house, or join activities they may say no, but they will most likely say yes if you have a high enough friendship score.

Depending on the traits you have assigned the parents they also have a chance of agreeing to you going out. For example, the Permissive Parent will usually let you go out. They might say no though if you have bad grades in school. The Strict Parent will usually say no, but if you are an excellent child on some rare occasions they might say yes. But, they will most likely always say no to you going out to a party. The Uninvolved Parent will usually always say yes.

One parent can have a strict trait and the other one can have a permissive trait and depending on who your sim asks for permission they will most likely get a different response, so you can feel free to add different traits to the respective parents.

Does this mod require any DLC?

No, it does not. I realize that I could have used HSY and Parenthood features in this mod to create some cool stuff, but for now, I really wanted to focus on making it BG Compatible

So yes. The mod is BGC.

What else do I need for the mod?

New Requirement: Maplebell Pie Menu. You only need ONE. If you already have the file do not download it again.

For this mod, I heavily used Lumpinou's Mood Pack Mod, so it is required for the mod to work properly.

You can get the mod here.

XML Injector

If you already have it great! But make sure it's up to date.

I also added so buff from Basemental. You have to be over 18 to use this mod. If you already have the mod you might see some moodlets that come from the mod, but other than that it is not a requirement.

Questions and concerns you might have?

Do I have to use the has ______ parent trait?

No, you don't have to, but if you have an uninvolved parent and you don't want the option to yell at your sim for sneaking out without permission to appear, then yes you should use it. I also created this feature to be able to expand on this mod later. So it will be used for more things later.

Where can I find the options to go to the activities?

On your sim phone, you should go to entertainment, you will find it there. Only available for teens.

How come I press on multiple sims for _____ activity and nothing happens?

This might be because you don't have what you "need" to go to the activity. If you press on your sim individually, you will see the greyed-out option. This option does not appear when you select multiple sims. This is just something that happens in-game. It's very annoying, and I didn't find a way to work around it.

I'm experiencing some weird bugs!

Let me know, please. I dealt with a lot of files when creating this mod, so something might not work the way I wanted it to work so please let me know about that so I can fix it.

I have different questions about the mod.

Honestly, I don't blame you. I might not have explained everything too well, so if you have questions about something, let me know.

How to install the mod?

Mod Updated For July 26th Patch Update

Hello Simmers!

Okay, so I've updated my mods, which are compatible with the July Patch Update! Turns out that the mistake was actually on my part and not the update, as far as I can tell. So I have fixed that! 

Here are the mods I have updated!

Country Club.

Religions from Medieval.

Rabbit Hole After School Homework. 

Patch Update

Hi! 

As I am still working on my teen activities mod, the new patch update came. I have tested the mods and each one of them seems to have something broken about them. 

If you are using my mods I will need to update for the new patch. I am working on that right now! Thank you.

Sign up for after school tutoring club!

Hello! I finished this mod a while back but completely forgot to share it. A few weeks ago my sister told me how annoying she thought it was that she would go to work with one of her sims and then when she came home she would see that none of the kids have completed their homework and overall it's just a mess.

So with this mod you can simply just either use your phone (as a teen or child) or as a parent go on your computer and sign your child up for the tutoring after-school activity. The activity lasts 2 hours and you basically do your homework there.

There are 3 available times I've included. From 2-4 PM - 3-5 PM and 4-6 PM You should only choose one package file that suits your needs. Keep the TS4script file in. I recommend 3-5 PM as this is the standard time for schools but you can choose whichever one you want.

If there are any problems or bugs please report them! Thank you.
