BG - Wants&Fears Overhaul
🕑 Added 2022-10-05 12:48:47 +0000 UTCWANTS:
- Adds wants to activities preferences that don't have a whimset in vanilla, so if your Sim likes painting they will want to paint.
- Adds a way to refresh wants
I had to do it with an interaction that requires 2 clicks:


You can refresh wants by type or all at once, as far as I can tell this is the scheme but Short Term Whims can also take the Long Term Whims spot:

- Tunes Down the Priority to the "Listen to XYZ Music" wants, I tried to tune down the priority to 3 from 10 so they should pop up less often.
- Brings Back Pets Related Whims like "walk a dog", "pet a dog", "adopt a pet" that have been removed from the game.
- Adds Ability to Pin Confrontational Whims, the ones you get from:

FEARS:
Dead End Job
- Made incremental so you don't get it every single time your sim goes to work, they need to have consistently bad performaces.
- Made it solvable from going to work in a good mood and having good performaces, this will regain their passion like the interaction does.
Fire
- Blacklisted Adventurous and Brave
- Made it solvable for good, chances to solve it for good below. You can solve it by following Maxis gameplay and will get a notification when it's gone forever.
Cowplant
- Blacklisted Adventurous and Brave
- Made it solvable for good, chances to solve it for good below. You can solve it by following Maxis gameplay and will get a notification when it's gone forever.
Crowded Places
- Blacklisted Brave
- Made it solvable for good, chances to solve it for good below. You can solve it by following Maxis gameplay and will get a notification when it's gone forever.
- Reduced the chances to get it
Dark
- Blacklisted Adventurous and Brave
- Made it solvable for good, chances to solve it for good below. You can solve it by following Maxis gameplay and will get a notification when it's gone forever.
- Reduced the chances to get it
- Children are too young to solve it for good
Death
- Made it solvable for good, chances to solve it for good below. You can solve it by following Maxis gameplay and will get a notification when it's gone forever.
Failure
- Made it incremental in some cases so you don't get it for every poor meal your sim cooks, they need to consistently produce poor results to get it
- Untouched but reduced the chances for the other triggers.
Ghost
- Adventurous and Brave were already excluded
- Made it solvable for good, chances to solve it for good below. You can solve it by following Maxis gameplay and will get a notification when it's gone forever.
Swimming
- Blacklisted Adventurous and Brave
- Made it solvable for good, chances to solve it for good below. You can solve it by following Maxis gameplay and will get a notification when it's gone forever.
Unfulfilled
- Reduced the chances because WTF?!
I haven't gotten the other two yet.
_____
Chances to solve fears for good are based on the fear and the way Maxis came up with to remove it:
On confronting the fear:
50% Cowplant, Fire, Ghost
75% Crowded Places, Dark, Swimming
25% Death
This mod requires the XML INJECTOR for the interactions

It needs updating, I've yet to post it
dipsiesnows
this doesnt seem to be working
Jordan
I have this in my game right now and it gives no problems. Is that an old save tho? Is the game giving you a failed to load error?

Hi! Love this so much, but I tried playing the game and the household wouldn't load. Better exceptions pointed 100% towards this mod. It could be something else I have installed messing up, of course (I just came back from a long hiatus and I'm updating everything again). Just letting you know, in case, although I doubt this is the real issue. Will look into it, regardless. Keep being this amazing!!

I like that though
BrickLion
Maybe you can just disable the panic run walkstyle for that fear so they will stop running like idiots.

This isn't done yet... I'm still playtesting the feature among other things... still thinking what to do about all the elders running around in panic because scared to die since maxis gave them the trigger on trait addition

This is A LOT better than other overhauls and changes to wants and fears that's out there. Thank you.
Helen B Pattskyn
I seriously could not play the Sims without your mods! Thank you!!
Jordan
Yep, pushed it to the extreme to showcase the new features as always. I saw elder townies are getting random fears assigned too.
Sam D.
Oh boy, thank you for the fears overhaul. That was an ANNOYING mess!
Jordan
Nope.

You are a hero for trying to fix this mess of a game for us! Will this conflict with MissyHissys mods?
