Why these two? Because when you consider the musical chairs we had from the beginning, the """logic""" behind some lifestyles, and now dust bunnies, it's easy to see who's behind Maxis ideas...
I got some complaints about some nonsenses in lifestyles, and this post is to collect them in one place:
1. Workaholic sims getting tense from too much work: blacklisted from getting it.
2. The frequent traveller lifestyle giving the bored +5 buff every day: 2021-03-04 04:19:15 +0000 UTC View Post

According to Maxis, sims can't read a book outside, because doing it changes the "indoorsy like" commodity and decreases the outdoorsy one as a consequence. Same shit for listening to the stereo, playing the guitar and the violin.
I don't even have enough insults to express my feelings.
Hopefully, I removed this shit.
Two minutes lockout time (six in Maxis default) are enough. You're not birdwatching.

This mod uses the Séance Circle system of Paranormal Stuff to allow Mages to perform Magic Rituals. There are 3 new runes you can draw on the floor and use to cast some special spells.
The ability to draw the runes is unlocked with the Motes Vision perk, because you need Motes in your inventory to draw the runes on the ground:

In The Sims, everything affects mood, even taking a poop, but weather... I mean, it does but, very little, and only in some cases... I guess adding a more detailed system would have been logic, and that's against Maxis policy.

I tried it once and I was surprised by it, it was all nice until I arrived to the point of choosing a track. After seeing the tracks open, I had my sim quit the job and go into business (because, at the time, it was the only career that wasn't ridiculous). Since I'll be doing some degree related to it, I decided to make it usable.

I never shared because I think the problem is mod related, doesn't happen with no mods, but I wasn't in the mood of 50/50... so I bombed the autonomy to tend the stall to 1000 in their buffs. Since apparently, I'm not the only one with this problem, here is my powerful solution.
2021-02-15 03:02:02 +0000 UTC View PostGTW tunings are quite messy... so there is this loot that runs basically in every social interaction and gives the chance to discover if a sim is an Alien. There are two, in fact, one if the Alien is the actor, one if the Alien is the target. As far as I can tell, the first one is well tested, and the discovery happens only for undisguised aliens. The other one has no test whatsoever on this... I assume it's because, when they coded it, Maxis did not consider that the played sim can be the ta...

The mod was causing a problem with the summoning of the Goetia Daemon, 'cause I left in a filter that shouldn't have been there. Solved. If you've been having problems with the Daemons, this was probably the cause. Thanks to Heron for finding out.

This mod modifies the Magic Vendors in the Realm so the game doesn't pick your generic Market Stall Vendor that you can also find in other regions with the option of also removing the spectral look.
There are these interactions I never turned off the autonomy for with Scam, despite them being annoying, because there is a very logic reason for them to be pushed so aggressively, and the reason are: NPCs. These cannot be turned off without making the NPCs also ignore the toddlers in need, something problematic if you visit them at home or in case you have a mod that makes Toddlers appear in community lots. Still there is no reason for the interactions to be pushed also for played sims, so t...
