Mod Updates (Oct 17th)
Hi everyone,
Guess who spent all day shirking responsibilities to work on balancing Deeper Social Autonomy (again) 🥴
Further balance updates
Some players were still seeing more Mischief and Mean interactions than Friendly because the tuning put too many restrictions on Friendly socials while leaving Mischief and Mean relatively loose. This update significantly balances things out by easing up on Friendly (like removing unnecessary Charisma checks) and applying similar, smarter restrictions to Mischief and Mean.
Split "tyjokr_DSA_Greetings" into two files due to a conflict with Lumpinou_RPO_Collection_M10_Custody&PermanentSeparations uncovered by Moozilla.
tyjokr_DSA_Greetings_Platonic
tyjokr_DSA_Greetings_Romantic
Delete the "tyjokr_DSA_Greetings_Romantic" file if you use Lumpinou_RPO_Collection_M10_Custody&PermanentSeparations OR put the file in a priority/overrides folder as I've incorporated Lumpinou's changes in the files.
⚠️NOTE: The more packs you own, the better Deeper Social Autonomy will work. I'm currently working on an update to ensure it works for simmers with only a handful of packs (or no packs).
Sim > Actions
Recall a Lost Formative Moment
Relationship > Change Relationship
Ask to Be Boyfriend
Ask to Be Girlfriend
Break Up
Propose
Elope Immediately with...
👨💻 Still working on:
A new module for Social Variety related to autonomy
An update to TS3 Social Context to make it less punishing when social contexts change
Looking into balancing DSA for players who only own a few packs
Hope you're all having a wonderful October so far. Thank you again for your support!

Thank you so much! Just discovered your mods and downloaded all of them! Cant wait to try them out!
Thanks so much for all your hard work on this! I had a quick question: do the Greetings files conflict or overlap with Kuttoe's Regional Greetings at all?
No conflicts with Kuttoe's mod!
your prioritization list is literally on point, these mods are so amazing and im so happy your working on tuning them so often. your hard work will never go unappreciated <3333
Thank you! I appreciate the kind words.
I don't know why, but my Sims, who are flirtatious and have a good relationship, automatically started a fight in the middle of flirting. I have pretty much all of your mods related to interaction tweaks. Would this update help me reduce this problem?
That is a separate issue that EA created. Grab Bienchen's fix here until EA fixes it: https://www.curseforge.com/sims4/mods/fight-availabilty-fix
How do you put your mod in a priority folder??

I love your mods, it's a need now whenever I play Sims, so I always wait for the update<3
samee i just discovered them like 3 days ago or sum and i already use most of them
Just to make sure I'm understanding this correctly as English is not my first language: so we either delete the "tyjokr_DSA_Greetings_Romantic" file if we use Lumpinou_RPO_Collection_M10_Custody&PermanentSeparations OR we put the entire DSA in a priority folder? Or are we supposed to delete the "tyjokr_DSA_Greetings_Romantic" AND put DSA in a priority folder? Also wonderful update again! I was definitely seeing more mischief and mean interactions going on out of the blue, despite them being in a good mood and not having traits to cause it 🤭
Delete the romantic greetings file OR put the file in a priority/override folder. You don’t need to put all of DSA in a priority folder.
You're such a life savior!! T_____T!!!
And here I was thinking the game had figured out how much of a bitch I am and just being honest. 😏
It's so weird that this issue is widely spread, in have some personality please she made the mischievous file optional for the same reason 🤣
Yeah. It's a very delicate balance. In the case of this mod, not having the Mischief file would make Sims MORE likely to choose Mischief. I'll need to convey that in the original mod post soon.
Yea, I was seeing a lot of Fight whenever i clicked to queue up a new interaction. Lol. I thought it was the game itself.
