group announcements

this mod adds group announcements with reactions from known sims nearby.

requires lot 51 core library
mostly base game compatible, some interactions require specific packs
age group: child to elder

this mod adds 17 new interactions, all available by clicking on an active sim.
7 interactions are available at any time:


two main helpful interactions:
"gather around" and "get attention"

  1. "gather around" opens a sim picker. selected sims will gather around your sim and wait there for a while.

  1. “get attention” makes nearby sims stop what they’re doing.
    sometimes they may need a moment to finish their current action first.

    this interaction is useful when you want sims to stay where they already are, but stop talking or doing other activities.


"say hello", "celebrate!", "motivate the group",
share good news and bad news

"say hello"

your sim can greet all known sims nearby at once.

"celebrate!"

sims may do this autonomously during events if they are in a good mood.

"motivate the group"

nearby sims will have custom focused buff.


life event announcements

  • event-based announcements will be available for 2-3 days after the event happens.

  • “announce graduation,” “share news about leaving school,” and “share news about leaving university” require 'high school years' or 'discover university' ep. “announce graduation” will appear after your sim gets their diploma, either from high school or university.

  • “share news about leaving job” will be available if your sim quits or gets fired. please note: if you choose “quit career” on the phone or computer and then press “cancel,” the announcement will still appear anyway.

  • children with an “A” grade will have access to the “show off good grades” announcement at any time.

  • outcomes:
    - relationship gain;
    - custom buffs;
    - sims will be more likely to start talking to each other after an announcement.

there is one version of the mod. if you don’t have high school years or discover university, the related announcements simply won’t show up in your game.

I love this! Amazing for my storytelling heart! The only feedback I want to give is, Is it possible to make the announcements/reactions way longer? I can barley get them to do what they're supposed to do and everyone to look in the right directions, take like one screenshot and then get frustrated because I have to start all over again bc someone decided to do some other sh*** they weren't supposed to do ... (esp. all the guests whos autonomy I cannot stop ;( ... ) But thank you again!
