I just cleaned up my page of the old Tweaks posts, they will all be collected here from now on. I'm adding them back little by little to check them, so for now I'm only going to post the ones that have been tested.
UPDATES:
04/10/2025 Added back some Get Famous tweaks
27/09/2025 Patch Update
Some of these mods require the Core Library (*)
Click on the category to open the file folder on Drive.
Basegame
Faster Autonomy and Less Idles [ VIDEO ]: Makes autonomy faster by reducing the likelihood of them choosing to run an idle instead of a target interaction. Makes them less likely to stand by without running an interaction for long times. Basically autonomy in The Sims 4 is slow not because of the lag but because Maxis made it this way on purpose, likely to give players the time to catch sims before they do something stupid and to give them time to stop interactions before the relationship goes downhill. This mod makes the game far more challenging and unpredictable so you've been warned, this is especially true if you use the tropes from Growing Together and Lovestruck.
Gameplay Socials (*) : I think I never posted this before. These are a couple of social interactions with gameplay effect that I think are missing in vanilla game.
"Discuss Hurt Feelings" with sims that have a negative sentiment towards another sim. The interaction is under "Friendly" -> "Deep Thoughts" and, if successful, reduces the duration of said negative sentiments by a small amount.
"Leave me Alone!" is a mean interaction (under "Mean", no subcategory) that once ran on a sim, makes them leave the other sim alone for 6h (only works if you have autonomy on, the other sim will not pick the active sim for conversations). I made this one when For Rent came out, Maxis changed something and sims now socialise way more to the point of being annoying especially when another sim is doing something else like cooking.
"Request Alone Time" is the nice version of the interaction above, under "Friendly", same effect but it won't make your sim lose relationship point with the other sim if successful (the interaction fails if the sims don't know each other enough, it will still have the gameplay effect but the other sim will see the request as rude). Children will never take well this request.
Effect of both these interactions can be stopped earlier by running "Announce Being Open to Chat" under "Friendly".
No House Fires : prevents fires in residential and rental lots.
No Motives Distress Autonomy : Stop sims from autonomously solve motives when they get to red.
No WooHoo Dance : removes the silly dance sims do when the request to woohoo is accepted.
Replace Burnt Hood (*) : the stove hoods don't have the option to replace them when they catch fire and are by far the most likely to burn when there is a fire. This adds the option to replace them without having to enter Build and Buy.
Selective Auto Chat [^] : prevents unknown NPCs from randomly joining conversations while your sims are out and about. Only NPCs yor sims already know can join a conversation.
Watch Tutorials on Sim.TV (*) - Autonomy Add-on : Adds a new category on the computers under "Research" to have Sims watch a bunch of tutorials to increase most of the skills in game. Autonomy Add-on makes the interactions autonomous.
Sleepwear Outside [NEW] : Back from the grave, allows Sims to go out of their house wearing sleepwear
EXPANSION PACKS
University
Classes Cost More : Increases the cost of classes.
Change Outfit for Classes : Sims will change into a weather based outfit before leaving for classes
Higher Scholarships : Increases the money you get when applying for scholarships.
Less Auto Bike : Increases the distance at which Sims will autonomously choose to use the bike when it’s in their inventory. Additionally, prevents controlled Sims from placing the bike in their inventory, although NPC Sims will still do so.
Longer Terms : Makes University terms longer (2 weeks). Don't install this mid-game, once installed in a save it cannot be removed while sims are enrolled.
Choose Bike Helmet (*) : allows for setting a specific helmet for the bike.
Snowy Escape
Self Sustaining Lifestyles : lifestyles will not decay once the Sim gets them.
Seasons
Change Outfit When Inside (*) : Sims autonomously change out of cold weather when inside a building, and change to cold and hot weather when outside in cold or hot climate. There are other mods doing this but they didn't work the way I wanted. This one is not extremely aggressive to allow for going in and out of a building without the Sims changing instantly (it takes about 30 minutes in a building for the autonomy to kick in), also the controlled Sim is not affected.
Random Umbrella for NPCs : Does what it says. There are other mods doing this but they didn't work the way I wanted.
Sync all Radiators from Thermostat (*) : I love the radiators from For Rent but I'm not going to go one by one to sync them with the thermostat so I added the function to sync them all at once:
Also inconsistencies piss me off: with the heater from Snowy Escape, cats have a nice little interaction where they seek heating from the thing. The interaction also works on Vampires' radiator but these ones aren't tagged properly for it to work. NOTICE: this flags the objects as CC because it overrides the object catalogue to add in the tag.
Get to Work
Alien Abduction Chance from the Small Telescope (*) : I shouldn't have asked my wife to give the game another chance cause now she has too many requests. This is another one of her requests: reintroducing the chance of alien abduction from the small telescope because there is none. This mod adds the same chance the big telescope has to trigger the abduction on the same interaction (Search for Truth, lev7+ logic skill) that maxis left out, Sims 2 syle. It's not boosted. No overrides, just a buff. Here is a picture because testing was hilarious.
Get Famous [NEW]
No Reactions To Less Famous Sims : Old small tweak I've been asked to update. Stops celebrity Sims from getting excited about Sims that are less famous than they are.
Celebrity Tweaks (*) : This goes to replace "Dancing is not Performing", because that mod wasn't mine and it required too many overrides while offering too little control. This new mod gives you full control over when you want the celebrity to be performing by adding a toggle "Perform for Crowd" (it can be used on NPC celebrities too), the Sim will shine while the option to perform is enabled. The option doesn't persist, it will be set back to off on changing area (including entering CAS). It also adds their own pie menu to celebrities and moves some hard to find interactions (fame shine, walk style toggle, disguise) into such pie menu, and adds an interaction to wear the disguise directly from the Sim without using a mirror.
GAME PACKS
Realm of Magic
No Magic Sages Outfits : requested. This is already included in Expanded Realm of Magic, don't use it together with that mod.
Remove Post Casting Animation : Removes the confident/smug animation spellcasters run after casting spells.
Don't Turn NPCs into Spellcaster not needed anymore, the filter disappeared from the files.
Vampires
No Pyjamas for Coffins : I don't like vampires changing to sleep inside coffins.
Outdoor Retreat
Create Campfire and Bonfire Everywhere (*) : allows creating a campfire everywhere on and off lot (natural ground only) by clicking on the terrain. Updated and moved from its own post.
STUFF PACKS
No Hamster Costume for Rodent Ghosts (My First Pet) : I hate the fucking obsession with these stupid costumes.
Customisable Dust (Bust the Dust) (*): remade of a series of old mods to remove dust bunnies, the audio on dust state change and the dust piles. This time, you get to set it in game
because I change my mind too often. By default:
Dust bunnies only spawn in Glimmerbrook and the fairy world.
Audio doesn't play.
Dust piles are allowed to spawn.
You can choose your preferred settings from the front door.
Mop The Dust (Bust the Dust) (*) : Allows for getting rid of the dust with a mop or broom instead of the vacuum.

Jordan
No. I still need to check that one. I didn't even remember it. I'll add it back in this list
Sam D.
Is the No Happy and Flirty mod subsumed now in Faster Autonomy and Less Idles mod? Just checking to update it.
Remy
Thank you
Angel
Selective auto chat is life changing
Liliane Love
Thank you so much
Jordan
It shouldn't be required anymore actually because EA added the test to the interactions themselves.
Highlightcw
Thank you
Hera
Thank you for the GF Tweaks update/rework!
LaraCroftEyes1
Any by chance your mod from Season pack don't swim in pool winter still working in 2025?
LordFahren
Would it be possible to create a tweak for get famous that would fix the selection of costars for romantic roles to align with your Sim's orientation?
Jordan
Cause I left inside the altered commodity I used for testing the mod by mistake, and it had an insane number set to make it faster. It's fixed now, redownload it.
Sheila Lobert
I'm not sure if it might have been an interaction with another mod, but when using the Customizable dust mod, my sim's house was in a permanently filthy state that no amount of cleaning could undo.
Jordan
I actually collected the fixes in one package but it's not all of them yet
林 李
Hello Zero, since you've consolidated some of your scattered mods, like this page, I've also started to reorganize the mods I downloaded from you (which are quite messy). I've noticed that many of your fix-type mods haven't been updated in a long time. Will you reorganize the fix-type mods in the future?
HaRRy
Gameplay social is a good mod for drama but "Request Alone time" I think it’s more interesting if it isn’t automatic.
Jordan
It's all new tuning and doesn't need updating.
Ольга Климова
Hello, have the AUTO-OFFER and AUTO-DIVORCE and BREAKUP been updated?
Wendy Hubble
Awesome! I didn't even realize they couldn't get abducted from the small telescope. Thanks to you (and your wife) for this.
CJ
Why can't I like this post more than once!? Anyway, love your mods. Keep them coming.
Jordan
Mop the dust doesn't require any object to work. The interaction cancels likely because there isn't enough space for the animation to run. Is the sim making the "can't get there" animation?
ZoeMonster
I got "mop the dust" mod, my sim goes to the location, and then the action just disappears, she has 2 brooms and 2 mops from Realm of Magic in her inventory. What am I missing?
J♡
Wow, "No House Fires". Thank you. ❤️
Jordan
Sure I'll try to dig it up somewhere. I lost a lot of files when I changed PC
RaccoonTycoon
:O you really did it aaaaaaaa THANKS!!
Jordan
I'll add it somewhere later, currently it's only on drive
Jordan
The links are already in the post, towards the bottom, under "stuff packs"
Karo
Hi Zero, just double-checking - I'm not seeing the download links to each of your mentioned mods, is that because you are still in progress of adding links? I tested on Chrome and Safari just in case it's a browser problem, but can't see downloads.
J♡
Hello! Where can I get "No House Fires"?
Chelsea Derieux
Can you please add your no random food/decor for uni please please
Darksimz
The hamsters were getting to me, so much thanks
daluved1
Thank you for the quick response!
Jordan
Still needed. I need to move that one here.
daluved1
Greetings! Is the file "Zero_University_CostsMore_Electives.package" still needed or has that been merged into the updated classes cost more package file?
Jordan
Yeah I was waiting for Maxis to move on onto the Sims 5 and leave this game alone but they're not going to. I'm doing well, thanks!
Baroness Bat
Lots of great new mods and updates over the last few days - Thanks! Hope you are doing well.
