Secrets Overhaul (Preview)

I bet you're annoyed with how the secrets system is messed up. Absolutely random secrets, strange restrictions, and what about relationship with Father Winter? This mod collection fixes all of that and even more!

This mod got the most votes in the Patreon and Boosty polls about the next mod release altogether. The polls are available for all paid members, and thank y'all for participation!

Main Module

Now, when you're asking or looking for a someone's secret you can not find anything is no secrets are appropriate for this Sim, or discover a secret which makes sense. Say, you can't find a secret about suspicious widow if that Sim haven't ever been married.

Plus, I excluded such secrets as romantic relationship with the special Sims (as it can't be checked whether or not they really have such relationship), the frog kisser and the voodoo usage secrets.

If you find a secret, then this Sim either actually made something to gain this secret (i.e. bladder fail) or it's very possible for Sim with such personality, relationship, even household funds and so on. Again, what's the point to be a suspicious widow, if you don't get rich heritage? And yeah, reputation does matter. It's much more unlikely that a Sim with pristine reputation has done something wrong than a Sim with terrible reputation.

Besides, I added two cheats: add and remove the secret. You can't add any secret, as a Sim has to meet the requirements (again, no cheating secrets for Sims without relationships). You can delete any existing secret too, but you have to revert consequences (if they exist) via the game mechanics or other mods, i.e. using UI or MCCC cheats to remove the relationship with Grim Reaper lol. To use the cheats, Shift + click on a Sim with testingcheats enabled and find them in the Secrets Management category.

Additionally, I removed negative reaction on witnessing voodoo usage for dynasty members with mystical values. Let me know, if there are other similar cases and I remove such reaction too.

Unlocked Secrets for Teens

It's strange that teens can have a secret lover, mess around or steal, but don't get a secret about that. This module fixes it.

No Limitations for Secret Lovers

Now a Sim doesn't have to have official relationship to ask someone to become a secret lover. The option is available even if the Sim doesn't date anyone.

Longer Expiration

That's strange that secrets exist only 1 week, even regardless of the scandal status (minor, medium or major). This module has several variations to prolong secrets depending on their status, choose ONLY ONE:

  • 1x: minor 1 week, medium 2 weeks, major 4 weeks

  • 2x: 2, 4, 8 weeks correspondently

  • 3x: 3, 6, 12 weeks correspondently

  • 4x: 4, 8, 16 weeks correspondently

  • No Expiration: all secrets last 10k days (that's pretty much so I called it No Expiration)

Ask Secret About Anyone

It's weird that even if you pay for a secret about someone, you should be acquaintances with that Sim. This module removes the limitation and you can ask a secret about any person you want.

All modules are independent, choose whatever you like.

CONFLICTS

  • filter_ScandalSecret_NPCSecretGeneration_LoveFilter_LeftAltar

  • filter_ScandalSecret_NPCSecretGeneration_LoverFilter_cheating

  • filter_ScandalSecret_NPCSecretGeneration_spouseFilter_suspiciousCircumstances

  • loot_ScandalSecret_ScandalOnEnd

  • loot_ScandalSecret_UpdateGameToSecretGen_leftTheAltar

  • loot_ScandalSecret_Witness_VoodooDoll

  • randomWeightedLoot_ScandalSecret_DiscoverNewSecret

Despite the number of files, most probably such mods just do the same thing and you should choose only one mod.

It doesn't conflict with custom secrets as long as they aren't added with modification of the randomWeightedLoot_ScandalSecret_DiscoverNewSecret file. Otherwise, you won't see either changes by this mod or those custom secrets.

Ask Secret about Anyone

With the mods that change this file: filter_SimPicker_HasMet_TYAE_RobinHood_Included

I don't know which mods do that.

No Limitations for Secret Lovers

With the mods that change this file: mixer_social_Targeted_Romance_HighScore_AskToBeSecretLover

I don't know which mods do that.

Other modules do not have any conflicts.

TRANSLATION

Main module

Russian by me

Other modules don't require translation

INSTALLATION

Main mod, Unlocked Secrets for Teens, Longer Expiration

DON'T FORGET TO DOWNLOAD THE SCRIPT and place it with the packages in the Mods folder no deeper than one subfolder! I recommend to put all modules of this mod collection in one subfolder.

Other modules

Put the package in the Mods folder. If nothing changed, try to move it in the Mods folder directly. And make sure you don't have any conflict

F.A.Q.

No changes?

  • You put the module too deep

  • You didn't install the script or made it incorrectly

  • You have a conflict

  • You didn't install Lot51 Core Library (for the main module)

Why I can't add Secret_Name via the cheat?

  • This sim doesn't meet the criteria to have such secret. Please, read the main module section

Does it conflict with custom secrets?

  • The main module doesn't conflict as long as they aren't added with modification of the randomWeightedLoot_ScandalSecret_DiscoverNewSecret file

  • Other modules do not conflict

I have several scripts, what should I do?

  • Keep only one script, you can delete others

I deleted a secret but the consequences didn't disappear, why?

  • The mod doesn't remove them, use the game mechanics, the UI or MCCC cheats

If you're asking whether or not this mod adds its own secrets, it reworks only the EA's ones. Though, I'd like to make my own secrets in the future
