Features Disabler
🕑 Added 2025-10-02 13:27:00 +0000 UTCThere are so many features I want to remove, and they all come at me while I'm testing something. This mod does just that, removes features.
The main file is required for some of the modules to work.
UPDATES:
02/10/2025: Added Relationship Satisfaction Disabler (Lovestruck)
26/09/2025: Patch Update. Added disable environmental moods.

G-Drive Folder
Basegame
Disable Fears (Main file required): removes fears as soon as they get added to Sims, Maxis and modded fears alike. These can be used independently as they don't require each other.
Sexual Orientation:
Disable Tests : unlocks the romantic interactions from the tooltip added by the Sexual Preferences patch.
Make Everyone Bisexual : if you change it in CAS it'll change it back to bisexual effectively disabling the feature and bringing the game back to a pre-patch state.
Remove Interactions : removes the two interactions "Ask About Romantic Interest" and "Ask About Woohoo Preference".
Romantic Boundaries are Non-Negotiable : The recently added feature allowing Sims to change their romantic boundaries through conversation introduces a problematic dynamic: it frames personal boundaries, especially regarding romantic and physical preferences, as negotiable and subject to persuasion. This undermines the idea that such boundaries are intrinsic, not something to be overridden through social or romantic leverage.
Worse, the game ties the success of these persuasion attempts to the strength of the existing romantic relationship. This implies that once enough romantic progress has been made, a Sim is more likely to compromise on boundaries they previously held. I find this logic not only flawed but discomforting, as it blurs the distinction between consent and emotional pressure.
This mod removes the “Ask to Change Romantic Boundaries” interactions entirely. It restores boundaries to what they should be: fixed unless changed deliberately by the player, not subject to in-game persuasion mechanics.
Disable Environment Buffs [NEW] : removes all moodlets coming from decoration and environment.
Discover University
Remove Bikers Outside Britechester : sims will stop spawning on bikes outside Britechester. Sadly this can't be filtered by region without altering the walkby directors.
Eco Lifestyle
Disable Trash Diver : removes the Sim that randomly comes to rummage in the rubbish, stand-alone.
Growing Together
Disable Burnouts (Main file required): gets rid of this awful annoying stupid feature. There was already a "Needs a Break" buff and a "Writer's Block" buff in game, there was no need whatsoever for this shit.
High School Years
Body Hair Growth : No, thanks. I know you can go in every singe category in CAS and disable growth one by one but I got sick of doing that very fast and nuked the feature. Body hair growth will still show enabled in CAS but no growth can happen as long as you have this file.
Puberty Changes Socials : hides the "support body/facial hair/acne" (?!?) "joke about body/facial hair/acne" etc... cause they couldn't come up with anything better related to puberty than this lame shite and some stupid moodlet.
Life And Death
No Forced Bucket List : I tried to like it, but I don't. I don't like that it unlock bonuses overtime without doing nothing to engage with the feature, I don't like that it adds goals on its own. You can still play with the feature if you decide to, the mod only stops the goals auto unlock and the progression without active engagement.
No Nude Moon-bathing : my suspicion that there is some fetishist in the devs team, who's also a furry, increases with every EP.
Remove Spectres : destroys these floating condoms from the world on loading the zone.
It takes two minutes for the mod to work so when you load the zone, the floating condoms will be there but will disappear after two minutes. You probably don't want to nuke them if you intend following Maxis quests with the new NPCs, they seem to have some interactions regarding that and the family festival.
Lovestruck
Remove NPCs Date Situations : I had 10...10 fucking couples in the park while testing another thing. Needless to say I quit the game and nuked this shit. I'll probably come up with a different way to tune it down while preserving the situation without having to edit all the freaking walkby directors where they injected it. For now I'm in the "get this BS out of my game" phase.
Relationship Satisfaction Toggle [NEW] : Another feature I don't like: the relationship satisfaction from Lovestruck. I didn't disable it altogether, I just disabled the automatic tracking. You can manually enable or disable tracking the relationship satisfaction for a couple from the "change relationship" menu (the romance must already exist between the two sims for the interaction to appear).
Snowy Escape
No Auto Unlock Lifestyles : another feature I tried very hard to like, but I don't. This prevents lifestyles from being unlocked through gameplay, because it always unlocks the same anyway. It leaves the cheats and the computer interaction.
Lifestyles Unlock Cheat : moves the cheats from the cheat menu to the regular one to quickly add and remove lifestyles to Sims, twin mod of the one above to take full control of the feature.
No Forced Slow Experience [Moved From Minor Annoyances post] : disables the forced "Slow Experience" feature. The feature can be enabled for a Sim from an interaction.
Multi Packs
Nuke Useless Notifications & Discovery Quests [^] : disables the annoying discovery quests you get at the beginning of a new save. Disables Some annoying notifications: San Myshuno Festivals: you get notifications only in San Myshuno. Mt. Komorebi Festivals: you get notifications only in Mt. Komorebi. Ravenwood Festivals: you get notifications only in Ravenwood. Nuked completely: HSY Thrift store notifications, earbuds notification, Social Media post reminders ("A lot of Social Bunny-worthy things happened to {0.SimFirstName}..." that bs).
Preferences and Relationships/Family Dynamics Popups : I've been playing the game a bit in the evening lately and I've been trying the family and relationships dynamics. Like nearly everything they've been adding to the game over the past 3 years, I don't like them. The good news is that they can be ignored entirely, the bad one is that the game won't allow you to because it keeps giving pop-up asking to set a relationship/family dynamics each time Sims interact, much like the preferences. Aside from this, between the relationships pop-ups, the family pop-ups, the career chance cards, the preferences pop-ups, the parenthood pop-ups etc, the game is a goddamn pop-ups simulator at this point. This file disables the relationship/family dynamics and preferences pop-ups. It does not disable the features, they can still be set in CAS.

LMFAO "floating condoms", "nuke this shit" you're my favorite modder now, please don't go bald
Jordan
Could be the "everyone is bi". Check their sexual orientation. The game is being silly with those lately. Eventually install the default sexual orientation version instead, that one is fixed (and achieves the same result). You can find it in the "multi packs mods" collection.
Pxneapple
hiii! i've noticed that since today my married sims won't flirt with each other? they have no romance interactions other than "offer massage"... i have your make everyone bi and disable romance dynamics mods installed and they don't have the siblings in family tree glitch going on... i'm updated to the latest patch, should i delete your romance mods? i'm so confused T_T
Ty
Seconding this, I'm having an issue with nonstop, phantom Fear of Dark and haven't been able to fix it with this mod anymore.
Elizabeth An Moore
not all heroes wear capes! Thank you!!
Jordan
They added a toggle in the options to disable wants and fears a while ago.
Neffario
Would you please add the 'Disable the Goddamn Wants' here ?
Brokeahhb
could you split the preferences/family dynamics? i dont mind the preferences popping up but the family dynamics one is annoying, if not no worries I just wont use it and look for another one that does one or the other :)
Jordan
Yeah I have one, but it overrides the dramanodes tuning and causes problems from time to time.
xndr
hi i love you??????? thank you so much?????????????????
J J
You should make a mod that disables phone pop-ups! My sims can't do anything because some fucker calls them all the time, and muting the phone doesn't help
Monica Joseph
Sire these are a godsend.
Cristina
Hello. Can you please update Disable Fears. It doesn't work anymore. Thank you.
Debra Davis
WOW!!! I have no words adequate to express my gratitude for your continued efforts to make this game actually playable and enjoyable! :)
Jordan
Mods in testing are behind a paywall to limit the number of people who have it in their game. Other mods are behind free membership to keep the Sims community away as much as possible. If you unblocked this with paid membership, it wasn't necessary... You just have to become a free member.
Lycius
I thought no mods were behind paywalls? Guess not.
Kesha Hardy
OMG thank you for ALL of these. I was so tired of the forcing thing on everything....like really you are scared of the dark because it was raining outside???
Jordan
I might rework that system in the future to make the interactions fail most of the time and punish players for thinking they can talk their way into someone else's boundaries. As they are now a couple of flirting is enough to make the other Sim concede which is very disturbing. It gives the impression that you can sweet-talk someone into changing their minds on fundamental things and that it's ok to emotionally pressure others into doing what you want.
Khallaco
Perfect timing! I started a romantic storyline a few days ago and that “Ask to Change Romantic Boundaries” has been bugging me sooo much (T_T) It hasn't caused my couple any trouble so far (I think...), but even just seeing it there was seriously stressing me out for the same reason you mentioned. I'm relieved that I'll now have a mod to help me avoid the trouble in the first place :')
Jordan
The notification bloating is very annoying. One of the reasons I can't play this game for more than 15 minutes. If I wanted to be annoyed by constant notifications I'd go on twitter or any other social.
Simmin' with MsDSweets
Bring the funny and fix the game!!! Lov It!!!
Kamiccola
Thanks for your hard work. I'll definitely want to try out your Nuke the notifications mod. They're an annoyance. Too many. Speaking of, am I the only one who's annoyed that I'll click X on a pop-up notification but then later I have to open notifications and click X on the same notification again? I hate this. Half of the game time is wasted trying to keep up with the list.
Jordan
I already did that but I don't have the pack so I can't test it.

Thank you for the possibility to finally turn off fears, body hair and burn outs. I hope you are willing to add the option to turn off ailments to this great mod.
Jordan
Brings the game back to how it was before: makes everyone bisexual. By default the game sets Sims to no preferences after the patch.
Bunkurs
What does the make everyone bisexual feature do? Does your mod make them bisexual? Or removes it?
ChelleBelle716
"floating condoms" LOLOL - I don't have that pack so that was my first time seeing those things!
Rainbow Gypsey
Thank you for the bucket list addition to this set of mods. It is so annoying. Again another feature that could have been interesting if they'd actually put some effort into it.
Laura Brown
I'm Pagan, I can take it or leave it.
Laura Brown
Thank you for the puberty socials removal. With all their gender sex sensitivity that was really an odd duck. Joking about body hair.... Who does that?!!! Yet it has been coming up as an option in EVERY conversation between Sims. Thank you!
Jordan
Oh I just nuked the situation altogether, but I probably didn't release that mod yet.
Space Zombie
Great stuff and just a fyi the "singles hangout" lot trait disables the romantic couples from appearing on lots. It's literally the only thing it does as far as I can tell. You'd think they would have made a "Couples Hangout" lot trait instead 🙄
Coley
God, I love reading your posts so much. I am always cackling!
Kristel
I'm dying with laughter at your nude moon-bathing commentary. My sims just went to that lunar festival in Ravenwood today, and it was definitely a WTF event.
Lauren Salas
Thank you! Could never stand the fears. Annoying for half my necromancer household to be afraid of ghosts and the dark.
