Autonomous Socials
🕑 Added 2025-09-27 10:17:00 +0000 UTCThis is another mod that had disappeared, because I wasn't happy with how it worked and I've been messing with it for a while.
Some features of this mod require the Core Library

This mod mainly alters the autonomy for the social interactions. It also makes romantic interactions much more likely to fail if a Sim flirts with another Sim that is already in a relationship.
Friendly Interactions and Funny:
Not many changes on this front, Sims will be less likely to "ask about day" or tell a joke to a Sim that just offended them. If the conversation hits the offensive stage, then it'll go downhill from there without user intervention.
Mean Interactions:
This mostly affects mean and evil Sims. There isn't much difference in the way these two traits engage with other Sims... they use mean interactions indiscriminately and are nearly impossible to befriend. This makes them stop being mean to friends. Evil Sims need a much higher relationship with another Sim before stop being douchebags.
Mischief Interactions:
Limits the autonomy 'cause there is no point in making a goofball or mean Sim if everyone is mischievous all the time.
Romantic Interactions:
This is where the mod is more hardcore. Sims in game flirt all the time. Besides being annoying as hell it also makes gameplay boring. This is especially true with the relationship satisfaction system in Lovestruck, and I'm about to go on a rant to explain why:
The developers seem to think that if only the nasty players engaged with the game, then they'd realise their genius. And they keep trying to force us with bribes (the events) or scripted situations (the scenarios).
The problem with the game is not that player don't engage, it's that gameplay features are implemented poorly and this is a prime example:
In theory, the relationship satisfaction system is a good idea and should be engaging, but in practice it falls flat because for it to be engaging it has to present a challenge. There is no point in having the feature if all Sims do is flirting autonomously and filling that satisfaction stat by themselves: the game plays itself without strategy, challenge, or user intervention... so enter:
SIMS WILL NOT FLIRT AUTONOMOUSLY UNLESS FLIRTY
This way you have to be strategical in your game play, or couples will grow unsatisfied, and you'll have to actually move that mouse and make them interact enough to get flirty, or use the many ways in game (like aura effects from the objects) to make them flirt and keep up the relationship.
Other things this mod does:
Gets rid of the "cute wave" animation of the flirt interaction and uses the much better teen flirt animation instead, 'cause I find the "cute wave" creepy.
Limits some regional introductions to their region.
Mistletoe kiss only appears during the winter holidays
As I said above, Sims that are in a relationship will be much more likely to reject advances.
At the moment, this mod also removes the autonomy for the Talk About Marriage interaction because I'm investigating it, I don't think that one's supposed to appear for already married Sims (or played Sims at all since it seems to be a poorly tuned NPC interaction)

Yes as long as the core library and the XML injectors are compatible. I heard script mods were having some issue.

Hi! Thank you for sharing your mods with us! Wanted to ask, are all active mods compatible with the latest update?
Jordan
Yep I noticed the mean autonomy needs some updating especially with the dynamics one cause Maxis already boosted the mean interactions in the unmodded game. When Sims can't default to flirt they seem to pick mean interactions for some reason.

OMG this mod makes flirting so hard lol. You did a great job. You really have to put in the work for sims to like each other. It's very realistic. My sims are more likely to be mean to each other, but other than that, I like that they can't just walk up to a sim and start flirting, and they think it's ok.
Jordan
Yes it's from lovestruck and no technically it should be required but if it keeps not working it might actually be that the cause. Tests (which this mod relies on) sometimes fail and are ignored if the game can't find one pert if the required files. Let me know if nothing works, that might be the reason.

Thank you ☺️ I'm not sure what relationship thropes are though? Maybe it's because I don't have the Lovestruck pack? Is that pack required for this mod to work?
Jordan
There are other reasons that might be happening, for example romantic thorpes between the two. For some like the unpredictable one I left the autonomy unchecked because it makes sense for gameplay. So try playing around with those.

Hi ☺️ Has this been updated? Or does it conflict with any other mod? I love the idea of this mod for the romantic socials, but my sims are still flirting with each other even when they're not flirty.
