Early Access - Restored NPC Invites
THE EARLY ACCESS HAS ENDED. PLEASE DOWNLOAD FROM MY ITCH.IO PAGE.https://kuttoe.itch.io/random-texts-and-callsWhen I recently updated my Random Texts and Calls mod, I discovered that Maxis had recently changed something about the code that schedules drama nodes, that is, the things that schedule stuff like phone calls and festivals. As a result of this, most phone calls from NPCs inviting you to dates, restaurants, and dance parties were effectively removed from the game.I've added a extra file to the Random Texts and Call mod called "R...

THE EARLY ACCESS HAS ENDED, AND THESE MODS HAVE BEEN UPDATED SINCE THEN. PLEASE DOWNLOAD FROM MY ITCH.IO PAGE.https://kuttoe.itch.io/list-of-modsBetween other big projects, I work on a small things to maintain my sanity, usually to fix little annoyances I encounter in the game while testing something else.

Part of the issue seems to b...

Keep Sims in Home Region has been updated: Fixed an issue that would prevent Sims who aren't local to Copperdale from voting for Prom Royalty Fixed an issue that would cause non-local Sims to immediately leave pre-Prom or post-Prom partiesPlease note that to fix these issues, because of the way the game populates Prom events, teen Sims attending Prom and Prom-adjacent parties won't be affected by the mod's filter (at least for now). Adult chaperones are still affected, though.Download here: https://kuttoe.itch.io/keep-sims-in-home-r...
Patch Report and Updates 8/30/22
All my mods appear to be compatible with today's patch. Still, there's a couple new additions.Alternate Phone Icons is now available to everyone, on my Everything Else page:This replaces the new phone icons with things that look like contemporary apps instead of moodlets. I tried to use similar color schemes as the originals to keep a sort of familiarity, but the icons themselves are all new. This is just a cosmetic change, there is nothing different about the menus or the interactions they contain.New Changes: Icon edges cleaned up and...

Early Access - Alternate Phone Icons
This is a quick project I mashed together last night in between fixing mods because I needed a break from looking at XML.

I used the same color schemes as the originals to keep a sort of familiarity, but the icons themselves are all new. This is just a cosmetic change, there is nothing di...

Early Access - New trait, trait revamps, future plans
This latest project has definitely been the subject of feature creep. This started as me going into the files to make sure all the icons either used base game assets or my custom assets so that users without certain packs wouldn't end up with those "missing icon" llamas, but I found myself disgusted with some of the old code being in the "New Emotional Traits" pack. I took the opportunity to redo the systems being used in the Restless and Stoic traits, as well as add a new trait, Coward. All of this necessitated the use of a...
Mod Updates 3/25/22
I spent some time this past weekend rewriting the code I use to summon custom NPCs to the active lot. It's much more elegant and consistent now, and should fix some of the weird behaviors and bugs that have been popping up. For now, this affects my Front Desk mod and the Sketchy lot trait from Basemental Addons, but it's easy for me to repurpose this code for future ideas.Basemental Addons Drug dealers should now show up more consistently and drunks should show up less consistently. Other Sims will now approach drug dealers and purchase...
