This a simple script mod that adds the new "Check Recent Neighborhood Stories" notifications to the "Check Social Media Timeline" interaction. This works on the phone, computer, and even the smart glasses from Discover University.
There are no requirements to use this mod other than the Base Game. If you don't have Neighborhood Stories enabled in the save file when you use these interactions, the game will simply tell you nothing has happened recently.
To install this,...

Here are three little mods to address a couple bugs in game and a minor annoyance. These mods are complete and free-for-everyone immediately, but I won't be making an itch.io page for these just yet because I am considering reorganizing my mods there to make it easier to maintain. Currently, my thought is to combine all of my mini-mods into one page per pack. Anyway, on to the mods.

This is an updated version of Keep Sims in Home Region that adds support for Tartosa, the new world introduced in the My Wedding Stories pack. I am uploading this version separately from the version hosted on itch.io because I do not own the pack yet and can't do any QA testing on my own (a big thank you to my friend, moxhollow, for testing this one for me). I won't be available the next few days to work on modding either, so I wanted the previous version available somewhere just in case this...

Happy patch day, everyone! All of my mods seem to have been unscathed by the patch today, however there were a few existing bugs to tackle and a few new additions, so here are the updates:
Lifetime Quirks has been updated:

- Fixed a bug where Sims could not visit the doctor or pharmacy on lots with an elevato...

New minimod: Just Go To Class
I got annoyed with how Sims living on campus had to run across the game world to go to class while Sims living off-campus could teleport right there without any issue. This mod levels the playing field. Sims living on campus will now only need to walk to the front of their lot or an elevator ...

Normally, Sims can spend all their time outside and as long as they aren't officially "sunbathing", then they don't get any tan or burn at all. With this mod, simply being outside in the sunlight is enough to get a tan or risk a burn.
How does it work?
Any time your Sim steps outside, if it is sunny then they will start to slowly get a tan. The same moodlets as normal will alert you when they are in range to get a tan or in danger of getting a burn, so get an eye ...

Here are some more detailed descriptions of the Quirks available for the Teen lifestage, as part of the Lifetime Quirks mod:
Cat Allergy and Dog Allergy
These Sims will have an allergy reaction any time they are close to a cat or dog for too long, or if they do socials where they get close and touch the animal. They will start coughing, sneezing, and generally feel Uncomfortable. Taking antihistamine pills from the Pharmacy will give them a temporary immunity, all...

As always, if you do find any bugs or odd behavior with my mods, please let me know. The best place to reach me for bug reports and troubleshooting is now the "Sims After Dark" Discord server. Feel free to join if you need help with any of your others mods, too, or just want to chat about The Sims.

Small things have been building up for a while without a big patch to break my mods and my next project isn't quite ready for release, so here is an assortment of different things.
mini-mod: yamachan please leave is a mod I made a while ago that I'm releasing now as I keep seeing more players complaining about this issue:
For some players, after a festival has concluded in Mt. Komorebi, the loveable mascot, Yamachan, turns into an absolute nuisance....

Today's patch added a lot of new swatches but thankfully didn't really touch the code. All of my mods appear to be compatible, but I have a few updates anyway:
mini-mod: longer lasting nails is now available to everyone and now has a settings file to set custom durations. Check if out if you want your Sim's nails to last more than a day.

Manicures in the Spa Day Refresh are a neat feature, but they don't last very long. To avoid going to the spa every day, this mod changes the duration of a manicure from one day to three days. Additionally, I've slightly changed the Sad moodlet that Sims get when they wear off; m...

Today's patch was surprisingly troublesome for some mods, but thankfully it seems like most of my stuff was spared.
New Spa Day Traits did receive an update for compatibility, which includes a new icon and the renaming of the High Maintenance trait into "Lavish" to avoid confusion with the new Maxis trait included in the patch.
Note to translators: I edited several string...

In case you missed it, Maxis will be adding their own High Maintenance trait to the Spa Day pack in this upcoming week's patch. While they did not cover the features of the trait in depth during their livestream, the description of it sounds pretty similar to my own and the name alone will obviously cause some confusion in game.
At this point, I have no intention to remove or retire my trait, as that could cause issues for Sims who already have the trait and, despite being part of...

This was a mod I made to test out the possibility of custom preferences as well as sort of joke with my friend, Isy (do not mention pineapple on pizza to them).
This adds a new category for Pizza Toppings to the Preferences menu in CAS based on the toppings available in game. When Sims eat a kind of pizza they like, they will get a Happy moodlet. If they eat a topping they don't like, they'll get an Uncomfortable moodlet. Both of these interactions are slightly different for Hawaiian pi...

When you click on another Sim, the game uses several tests to check what social interactions should appear in the menu. For some reason, one of these tests appears to be slightly broken when checking the Friendly relationship. Sims with a relationship between 25 and 60 get the maximum bonus, while very good friends with a relationship between 60 and 100 get no bonus at all.
This meant that certain interactions with a high "availability" requirement would show up for acquaintances ...

Lots of little things needed fixing today. This was a real melter of a patch.
The following mods have received an update:
I'd had this mod half done for a while, but didn't pursue completing it because it was working well enough for my purposes and other creators had published their own Front Desk/Receptionist mods so I didn't feel the need. I've been told recently that SHUSHU's mod was broken by this latest patch, so I looked into finishing mine and making it available to the public.
This is a simple mod that allows you to add a front desk receptionist to any community lot. To do so, just plop down a...

Career Overhaul Suite has received a fix for the Dream Home Decorator career:
For players using the Degree Nerf addon, they were unable to complete a renovation gig properly. The reveal slideshow would not appear, the keyboard hotkeys for changing the game speed would not work during the event, and occasionally the game would softlock or crash when it was time to leave the lot. This fix should address all of these issues. If you discover any further oddities, plea...

Today's patch made some changes to traits, so I've updated mine for compatibility as well as a few other small improvements. Additionally, many of my traits now have Build Buy preferences in anticipation for the new Dream Home Decorator game pack.
This update is mostly just a quick fix for now. I'll be looking into how the High Maintenance trait will need to be reworked to fit with the new Activity preferences, and I may need to change how some of my Hobby traits work as well.
