Little Laundry List...
...of things that have been reported and ignored in the AHQ.Since they're now doing two patches a month, they might be willing to work on these problems that have been around since forever, I won't even bother going to press the "me too" button on the AHQ since it all comes down on how much you complain on twitter about bugs, not the AHQ:Microwave: when a sim autonomously puts a dish in the microwave to heat it up, the interaction doesn't complete, the sim then leaves the dish inside and walks away. That dish cannot be taken...
GF - Tweaks & Fixes
All smaller mods for Get Famous that were scattered around are collected here, some of these are unreleased I think...Celebrity No Reactions To Less Famous - Higher rank celebrities will not be amazed by lower rank celebritiesBaby Ariel Mortal - Special NPCs added with Get Famous, she's immortal, she doesn't age, if you delete her, 3 teen celebrities of the same rank and equally immortal are generated by the game to replace her. This makes her a regular mortal sim. Not even the fecking Sages are immortal.Dancing Not Performing - Updated...

ALL - Careers Rework
Repost to collect the careers reworks in one single post. Click on the link for the info:BG - Secret Agent Career ReworkBG - Astronaut Career Rework__Renamed FilesALTERNATIVE DOWNLOADS: DRIVE
ALL - Various Tweaks
These are all the various tweaks I did that were posted in their own small posts and I'm not collecting together so to add the alternative link to Drive and make them easier to find. They're not updated, but the files are renamed!Plan Outfits Costs MoneyI know there are people wanting a mod to lock all the outfits in CAS and having to unlock them. While I think something like that is really a bad idea for gameplay and would turn into more of a hassle than something I'd like in game, I like the idea of paying to change your sim's...
BG - Tense From Bills
A small mod I did a while ago and then forgot...I was annoyed by the fact that sims get tense with everything but can ignore the bills in the mailbox until the Landgraabs shut down all the utilities and not even acknowledge that they may be in economical troubles, so I did this small mod a while ago that gives them a small tense mood when the bills are in the mailbox. They don't always get it, it's random. Irresponsible sims will never get it. Only YA + will care about the bills.Added to Minor Annoyances Post
BG - Disliked Things are Boring
I'll never use this likes&dislikes shite, but in case I'll go temporarily insane again and decide to give it a chance like I did for Lifestyles (and I regretted it)... this was bothering me also in the mod they ̶r̶i̶p̶p̶e̶d̶ ̶o̶f̶f̶ took inspiration from to set up their system...(Btw the mod is still better)I don't get stressed while doing something I don't like... I get bored (in case of playing the sims, I also get enraged but that's a special case).Not even trying anymore, are you?Added to the minor annoyances ...
Info about mod status for the May 27 patch
I'll properly check the mods tomorrow because I'm currently testing the new likes&dislikes system in vanilla game, but here are some info:- Mods altering filters needs to be updated, No random especially.- Mods altering interactions needs updating, I still need to check which ones- Maxis added some stuff in the SimData files of the traits... all mods adding traits need updating and will probably not work until the Data files are updated. Maxis also changed the schema hash of the traits... this means a lot of mods will be broken.- Dust s...
IL - Swimwear Bottom fix
I'm cleaning my cc folder and noticed this for the first time. This bottom duplicates the swim category in CAS, and doesn't appear unless you remove the masculine preference filter, because Maxis tagged it as feminine and as swimwear children. This is a very simple override to tag it properly and make it appear in CAS again.
UPDATED - A Very Stupid Mod
Similar to Irish sims, Italian sims can now ponder problems...And decide...They do not give a fuck!The Italian Way, though, has 3 progressive stages of not giving a fuck... the first one will unlock the second...And the second will unlock the last...They progressively more powerful in getting rid of negative moods.Italian sims can now also warn others about the terrifying "Colpo d'Aria"For the ones of you that don't know, the "colpo d'aria" (blast of chill air) is the swore enemy of Italians and can cause all sort of...
UPDATED - A Very Stupid Mod
Irish sims can now ponder problems...And decide that, whatever the issue is......It will surely fix itself.Click on your Irish sim to activate the "Ah sure, it'll be grand" mentality.It will help with all negative emotions.HERE
UPDATES - Autonomy Toggle
This is not a big update but I need to spend two words on it. Added the option to toggle Fire and Death reaction, to use these toggles you also need the addon package. Toggle fire reaction will make the sim you activated the option on stop reacting to fire. The death reaction works in reverse, you need to activate it on the sims you want the other to not react. These options are not compatible with my other two mods "no fire reactions" and "no react to stranger death" but are more flexible, if you want to use the toggles, remove...
PETS - Rabbithole Veterinary
This had to happen sooner or later...Turns the veterinary into a rabbit hole, click on the pet to bring them to the veterinary, Sims and pet will disappear into a rabbit hole and come back with the pet treated, no more wasting 6 hours in a useless clinic, so now I can bulldoze the shit out of that place and replace it with something interesting to play like a pub.Also makes the spay/unspay procedures cost more because they cost a lot in reality (expensive treatment is 800+ and spay is 50?! I don't think so)Some options are available only wh...
BG - Visible Maxis Hidden Needs
There are two things Sim players complain about: the constant drinking water and the constant hands washing. These two things are actually controlled by two hidden needs all sims have: thirst and hygiene hands.You never see them in the UI, but they're there and affect autonomy. With these two simple mods, you'll now get to see when your sims are thirsty:And when their hands feel dirty, and it will probably help you understand why they wash hands and drink so often. It's a nice little touch of realism Maxis put in game from the begin...
RoM - Mentor not facing the Student fix
Fixes the mentoring sim not facing the student when asking for Magical Training. Doesn't fix the mentor going into a room and the student into another when there isn't enough space around, so keep it in mind.
EL - Sharing is Caring tweak
Another Maxis IDIOCY.Drastically changes the working of the Sharing is Caring policy.You get influence for giving gifts, donating to the charity, giving back (scout), donating crafted objects (including kitted), donating artefacts to the museum, giving away at high reputation, etc...NPCs will do the same (give gift and not stealing things)No Patreon, this is not raffle, it's a fucking mod for a fucking game.
TUTORIAL - Navigating Sims 4 Studio
I had the chance to talk with a couple of people wanting to start modding or at least wanting to be able to open and tweak a mod to their liking, and realised that the hardest part is not reading the xml but actually... using Sims 4 Studio. The hardest part of it all is understating how to open a file .package. There are tutorials on the forum, but it's probably harder to teach people how to use something you already know how to use, even worse when you're the one who did the tool and know how it works perfectly, so they're not comp...
GF / EL - Proper Answer to Charity and Other Phone calls
Just gives you the option to give them the answer they deserve. You lose reputation, but gain 100 satisfaction points.
BG - Jealousy Slapping replaced with Fight
I was watching a video and decided I hate that cartoony bullshit.
BG - Simple Pay to Travel from Phone
Another thing I never understood why people like to make some ultra complicated detailed shite to pay for travelling to community lots, and I could not find a mod that did just this... Simply pay 150 Simoleons to travel from the phone (calling a taxi, like), the payment is not shown in the UI but 150 Simoleons are detracted at the end of the interaction whenever you select the option, even if you cancel it later. Includes Asking for Dates.You can still travel for free all the other ways.
UP - Simple Craftable Wands, Brooms & Tomes
RoM - Simple Craftable Wands, Brooms & Tomes
GF - Unlocked Fame Perks
They'll not require the previous one to be unlocked anymore. It's been a while since I enabled fame, so I don't remember how easy it was to have points and if I'll need to rise the price, too... I may come back to this later.
Simple Pay to Plan Outfit
I know there are people wanting a mod to lock all the outfits in CAS and having to unlock them. While I think something like that is really a bad idea for gameplay and would turn into more of a hassle than something I'd like in game, I like the idea of paying to change your sim's outfit, makes for a good strategical addition... so I did something a lot simpler than locking the outfits in CAS:Pay 250 to plan outfits from the closet, mirror, tent, vanity table etc.Batuu is not included. You can still enter CAS for free in MCCC and from th...
RoM - Simple Craftable Wands, Brooms & Tomes
First thing, there is already a mod doing the same, turning Wands into craftables and you can find it here:Wandmaker Career by IlkavelleI really like the idea of crafting wands and brooms, problem I have with that mod? The crafting is tied to a career, and I don't want custom careers. I just wanted to craft wands, have a more in-deep crafting process, yes, a career? Nope. So I decided to do a version I could be satisfied with. This mod just allows you to craft wands at the Woodworking table, for witches and vampire witches.Witches have to u...
BG - Harder Dates
It was Valentine's day in my game, and dates are too easy. So I had to do a simple re-tuning of them to make them more challenging. Time for the date lowered by 2 hours (4 hours date), social interactions required raised to 25 for the main goal, and 10 for flirt. Also removed the goal to play chess, who the fuck plays chess on a date?!

Friendly Reminder: DO NOT patch the game right away!
The patch coming out today is very likely to break traits and beds.Traits are the basis of many, many mods.Wait a couple of days for mods to get updated before installing the upcoming patch.
TUTORIAL - Interactions 7
A couple of days ago we were looking at 3 interactions from the Yoga mat, and you may or may not have noticed a difference in them. They were all different from each other... the first and biggest difference I noticed right away is the basic_content:Our first interaction has a n="basic_content" t="flexible_length"The greeting one has a n="basic_content" t="one_shot"And lastly, the idle one has a n="basic_content" t="looping_animation"What is this, and in what are they different?Of course, when we ...
RoM - Broom Walkby Trait "Fix"
There is a trait given to NPCs selected for the broom walkby role called trait_WitchOccult_Broom_Walkby that makes them use the broom autonomously. If you play rotationally, you may have noticed some of your mages using brooms even when not having a broom in the inventory or using a broom you didn't give them and so on... the problem is this trait that sticks even when the sims become played. Turned into NPCs Only. The trait will be removed for active sims.
TUTORIAL - Interactions 6
Now we saw how Mixer interactions are:1- Subordinate to other interactions; and2- Behave in a different way in game.Let's go back to the xml injector snippet and let's try to understand what it does exactly:You can see that adding Mixer Interactions has a specific tuning. This is the way Scumbumbo set it. When adding a Mixer Interaction the injector asks us one (or more) mixer_snippets... what are those?You see the one above is an AffordanceList... let's open it up:Here it is. It's just a list where Maxis puts Interactions (Soci...
