CAS Sanity Updated

Hi everyone - sorry for my long hiatus. I still have very limited time to mod, but I did upload a big batch of updates to CAS Sanity: https://www.patreon.com/posts/77242454

Over 500 items have been updated or added, both from newer packs and older packs. The Goth Galore pack deserves special mention as even though the clothes were cute, they were almost all enabled for random, including for elders...

Billing Paused

Hello everyone - I've had very little time to mod lately, and with Zerbu's Mod Constructor v5 not receiving updates to fix some of the open issues, my work in refactoring PrefPlus is on hold. If this continues, I'll pause billing again in a month (it only lasts 1 month at a time).

If anyone is upset about slower updates recently, please reach out and I'll try to refund last month's charge.

Thanks for your patience while I juggle real life obligations! <3

PrefPlus Functionality Poll

Which of the following preference-related features of my PreferencesPlus mod do you most use/appreciate?

Thank you for helping me prioritize my efforts while refactoring the mod!

I really appreciate any comments you can provide as well:

  • Why did you pick the options you did?
  • Do any of these things actually annoy you?
  • Any functionality I've not included so far that's of interest?

UPDATE 1: I'd love more information on why so many people are ...

PrefPlus Outfit Refactoring Poll

Happy July Fourth to those of you in the US!

I'm working on refactoring the entire PrefPlus mod. As I started to work on recreating the Outfit preferences, I realized it might actually be nicer to have clothing item preferences instead.

  • For instance, instead of just preferring sleepwear, a Sim who likes T-shirts would be happy when wearing one whether for sleeping or working out.
  • Similarly, a Sim who doesn't like to wear dresses may still like to dress up i...

Modular PrefPlus Input

Hi all - I've had quite a few requests over time to make PrefPlus more modular instead of massive like it is now. Obviously I split out Seasons/Weather/Holidays recently, but how else would you like to see the mod broken out? I've been working on a batch of new preferences in a new set of files based on ModConstructor v5, but it seems like I need to spend some time refactoring first.

In summary, which parts of PrefPlus would you like to see broken out from the main mod, if possible?

Patron Update 04/02/2023

Hello all - just wanted to give you a little update. 

I'm still working on the many new preferences I'd been adding to PrefPlus just waiting for the new patch to come out. This includes the new Collections category, splitting the Activity preferences into multiple categories, as well as new flavor, cuisine and activity preferences.

I also need to finish updating the Overrides files for Fear Factory and PrefPlus... I was running into some problems with the PrefPlus one, but I'...

PrefPlus + Growing Together Features

Hi all - I've still got fixes to make to existing mods (and I've got an outpatient surgery coming up this week) but I'd like to start gathering your thoughts about how to integrate/incorporate/replace some of the related features that come with the Growing Together EP. 

There's some obvious overlap with a few of my 'personal' preferences such as Gossip, and some overlap between Conversation Topics and my Interests as well.

I'd also love to see if I can build on some of the ne...

Infant Patch Compatibility

Please remove my mods from your game until each are listed as compatible here!

Compatible / Safe to Use:

Curseforge

Hi all - Originally I wasn't planning on uploading anything to Curseforge, but I'm wondering if anyone would like me to. It might be good exposure for my work to new people, but I'm also hesitant to increase the overhead of uploading and maintaining in multiple places.

I'd love if you left a comment explaining your vote!

Good evening my friends, and thank you for your patience as I've been less productive these last weeks. Work and life continue to keep me stressed and busy but I'll still deliver updates to you when I can. I'm inspired again to work on Attraction preferences and I'd love your input. 

What attributes do you want your Sims to be attracted to or repulsed by? 

So far I've stuck to non-physical attributes because WickedWhims has physical ones...

Preference Bomb (AutoAdd for PrefPlus)

As soon as you load the game or exit CAS, etc all Sims in your game will have preferences intelligently applied (if they don't already have a like and/or dislike in that category). It shouldn't overwrite any existing preferences that are set.

If you don't like what gets rolled for someone, you can remove that preference (or all preferences) and either use the 'add random' feature in the Actions menu, or open/close CAS again and it'll add new ones.
