23.09.2026 UPDATE: The mod has been updated to the 1.1.2 version (both for auto and no auto assigning versions)! Remove the old files first before reinstalling

• Fixed a bug which gives a newborn alien (only true alien, not half) child Sixam as a birth's place. Now Sixam should be automatically assigned only for already existing true aliens, but newborn aliens and half aliens will receive a birth place just as other Sims.

14.03.2026 UPDATE: The mod has been updated to the 1.1 version!

• Added Ondarion town

• Added the cheat to prohibit / allow automatic town preferences assigning for the selected sim. By default, it's allowed for all sims

• Added the second version of this mod without automatic preferences assigning at all. The cheat interaction above will still be available but it won't do anything in this version. INSTALL ONLY ONE VERSION!

• Turned off autonomy for the social interactions

This mod adds likes and dislikes for towns, as well as new gameplay!

CAS Category

First, you can set Town Preferences in CAS for whichever town you like.

Assigning Preferences

The mod automatically assigns Town Preferences on launch for young adults and older sims, depending on their personality, aspirations, and occult type, which don't have preferences yet. It considers traits from "100 Traits Pack" by Chingyu as well. This is another way to assign Town Preferences besides the CAS mode.

Children and teens can also obtain preferences, but with a lower chance. Additionally, there is a small chance of obtaining new preferences after Self Discovery (from "Growing Together").

However, you can clear and assign new preferences to any sim. With testingcheats enabled, Shift + click on a sim and select "Clear Town Preferences," "Assign Town Preferences Automatically" if the sim doesn't have any yet, or "Assign New Town Preferences Automatically" to replace the existing ones.

Town of Residence

All sims in the player's households have a hidden status indicating where they currently live. Based on this status, a sim may react positively or negatively when moving to a new town if they have a preference for it.

This status updates when you move or split a household or use the "Add to Family" cheat on an NPC.

However! If you join a household via Manage Worlds or in-game events like a wedding, the status cannot be updated immediately. It will update after you relaunch the game or during certain in-game events.

I advise running a special cheat to update this status for all sims. With testingcheats enabled, Shift + click on a mailbox, then click "Update Town of Residence (For Everyone)." If you don't do this, some interactions with other sims may be strange (see the details below).

Plus, you can use this cheat if something went wrong (and let me know!).

Town of Birth

This mod tracks the town where a sim was born. For sims that existed before you installed the mod, the Town of Birth is the town where the sim currently lives. Family members and sims in the same household will know each other's Town of Birth.

For newborns after the mod is installed, it will be the location of their household. Their family and sims in the same household will automatically know where they were born.

However, you can also manually set the town of birth. With testingcheats enabled, Shift + click on a sim, then click "Change Town of Birth" in the Town Talks category. However, this will cause all sims to forget the town of birth for this sim.

Town of Birth is displayed as a gameplay visible trait.

It also affects sims' preferences. Most sims like a town where they were born. After all, it's full of memories and loved ones! Though, some may dislike it or not have any special feelings about it.

Social Interactions

Sims can ask each other about their town of birth if they don't know it yet, or after changing it via cheats. They can also ask about their town of residence.

If sims have an opinion about a town where they live, they can discuss it with other residents, either admiring or complaining about it. Based on the opinion of the interlocutor, their mood, and their relationship with the actor, they may react positively, negatively, or neutrally.

These interactions are based on the Town of Residence, so you should keep it updated. Otherwise, you will see interactions and reactions about a town where this sim doesn't live. Use the cheat I mentioned above.

What about aliens?

All created and existing aliens have Sixam as birthplace by default, but you can change their birthplace using the cheat. Newborn aliens and half aliens have their actual birthplace.

You can assign Sixam for non-aliens too (just added it for various gameplay options)

Aliens only answer questions about their Sixam birthplace to other aliens or to Sims who know about being an alien. Otherwise, they ignore the question!

ATTENTION!

When asking about the town of residence and birth sim without any home region you'll only see a warning instead of town information. You should move this sim on any lot (you can evict them right after this action)

This doesn't affect all NPCs! In general, they all have a town of residence (it's a town where they were generated or created and evicted after). I'm talking about only those households that you created and didn't move anywhere, rejecting moving in Manage Worlds.

REQUIRED

Lot51 Core Library

CONFLICTS

None

TRANSLATION

Russian translation by me

F.A.Q.

No interactions on the mailbox?

You didn't install the Lot51 Core Library correctly or you have an outdated version

No Town Preferences category OR LE because of trait assigning?

You didn't install the Custom Preferences mod by Zerbu correctly

Infinite Loading or broken CAS?

You have my old custom preferences version (delete it) or you have multiple original Custom Preferences mods by Zerbu

No auto assigning?

Make sure you have both the package and script, and you place it no deeper than one subfolder in the Mods folder, and for the 1.1+ version: you either have the auto-assigning version mod or you marked a sim as prohibited to get automatic preferences with the cheat.

Replies, reactions or interactions mismatch where a sim is living?

You have incorrect Town of Residence status, probably after joining household or transferring sims. Use the 'Update Town Of Residence (For Everyone)' cheat on any mailbox

Sim doesn't answer where they've been born?

• It's an alien sim. Aliens answer only to other aliens or to those who they know are talking to an alien

• If that's not an alien and you're on the 1.1 version, it's a bug that I've fixed on the 1.1.1 version. Remove the old files and reinstall the mod

Nothing happens if you use cheats or run interactions?

You have multiple scripts at the same time

Relatives don't know the Town of Birth of each other?

There are some game limitations for who this status will be known, or maybe you changed the Town of Birth for this sim. Just use 'Ask About Town Of Birth'.
