My first act as a Paranormal Investigator is banish these Rainbow Farts (cit.) from the game. It's a shame because they are actually fun to play and the feature Maxis spent more time on... but I just cannot stand the way they look! So, until S4Studio Updates and a replacement can be done for them, they're banished from my game. Replacing them while keeping the functionalities is not an option, they ...

Mood from being in presence of a fire or on fire changed from stressed to scared.
2021-01-22 18:50:44 +0000 UTC View PostYeah...
Maxis didn't do this, so...
About the reaction from magic, they get scared only if the reaction running is the horrified one. The awe one doesn't make them scared.
The Scary Magic package is not compatible with Spells Reactions Tweak, this mod is updated to include this change, too.
2021-01-22 00:52:03 +0000 UTC View PostNot compatibility update, just changed some emotions to scared.
Everything else should be fine.

Let's start breaking down the tuning of some interactions, and this will probably take 2 or 3 tutorials. I can't cover, nor I know, all the options an interaction can have, so it's vital to have the TDESC when dealing with interactions, and looking at them when unsure about something (when the TDESC are not sibylline like sometimes they are).
We'll start with a relatively simple one, and the one I chose is a SocialSuperInteraction. So it's yes, a social interaction, but a standalone one...

Interactions are complicated. If you thought Commodities are confusing, think again... interactions will make them appear like the easiest thing in the world. They're complicated not only because there is a frightening amount of them:

It's simple like this: if I put the remove shoes sign, is because I want the sims to remove the shoes. If I don't want them to, I don't put the sign. Nope, sims breaking the rules and getting playful about it is not funny, it's annoying, like everything is supposed to be funny in this game.
This mod will make the sims always remove the shoes if the sign is on lot, plain an...

Last time we opened one of my mods to give a look to the logic behind, and we saw that it's really not that complicated at all.
We'll now start recreating that same mod in the Constructor, and, as we saw, we only really need few things to make it work. This will be a 2 parts tutorial, and we'll stop after the first part to break down an inter...

- I can't stay out of the bed because it's freezing;
- The seasonal pattern of my condition makes the idea of being out of the bed even less appealing, the scarcity of sunlight is not helping me feeling less depressed, either.
I also wanted to share two words of solidarity with all the people living in the US who are witnessing agitations across their country.
This is called "fixes" because I mean to dig more into Parenthood files... for now, it's really only one fix...

You may have noticed that, past Teen stage, the sims can still gain life skill points... this is not a bug, it's by design, for some reason I've yet to investigate properly... anyway, at some given ranges in the life skills sims gain a buff, this buff affects autonomy, and it's meant for younger sims to behave in a certain way, and for parents to be a...

Well, I've been into the new year for 4 hours already, in fact... But I sobered up just now so I guess it's a good time like any other, with the world having different timezones and all.
You may have noticed that, when you have these two lifestyles, you get the bored moodlet even if your sim has been outside/inside all day...
This because, in order to keep the lifestyles, you sim should engage in campfire, basketball and other interactions that affect the associated commodity... just being outside does nothing. (Same for indoorsy and indoorsy interactions)
Gardening too, does almost nothing... this makes sense because you can garden also inside, but it still bothe...

Irish Sims can now show off their Irish temper by cursing other sims
As Gaeilge, too. It's a skill with 5 levels:
Maxis broke the Snow Accumulation in all worlds but the new one.
This should fix it.
The problem seems to be mod related:
On a new save you probably don't need a fix at all (I didn't test it though)
On old saves that are affected the fix seems to work, but not always (I managed to make it work on a testing save I was using to test a mod, that save was affected but saved with only some of my mods, MCCC, the injectors an...
2020-12-26 23:39:38 +0000 UTC View PostBeen wanting to redo this for a while because... that mod overrides too many resources from the game and conflicts with too many things, I don't like to do it... so I reworked it to inject the filters, instead. As a result, this mod should now reduce the risk of conflicting to a minimum, in fact... it should not conflict with anything at all.
This mod now needs INJECTION TOOLS
I was done with the phone when I play a historical save.
This mod allows to disable the phone on a singular sim basis.
Click on your sim and select "disable phone for good". You can enable it again the same way.

This mod tweaks the way the umbrella is given without removing it completely.
Since Maxis is lazy, they made it so that, when a sim is a NPC, and they need to give them an umbrella, they picked the first loot to give the black one, which also removes all the other umbrella preferences from the sim. If the sim is your sim, and you already gave them an umbrella, they lo...

These are simple. We met them in one buff once, added there to make the sim play the violin. I'm going to explain how they work, because I'm going to completely break down one of my mods for ye in the next tutorial.
As you can get from the name, Static Commodities are rather similar to commodities, except they're really... not.

We didn't get into loots in the Constructor tutorials (yet!) but we met them when talking about buffs and commodities and, trust me on this, we're going to meet them all time in our modding career. We technically don't need them to make a simple personality trait, but at some point, we're going to need them... because loots are everywhere in Maxis tuning, they're a basic of the game mechanics, they're inside buffs, traits, interactions, commodities, other loots, objects tuning... they're ever...
