Mod Updates (Oct 30th)

Hi everyone,

Happy (almost) Halloween! I'm back with more updates!

👉 TS3 Social Context

• When a new Social Context is reached between two Sims, interactions associated with the Social Context are now unlocked for up to 4 hours afterwards (unless the Social Context becomes negative). This change will ensure smoother gameplay when the mod is installed.

👉 Deeper Friendship

• Last exception error fix

👉 Character Values Overhaul
👉 Mood Pressure

• Small tuning adjustments

👉 Social Variety

More Autonomous Socials

• Small tuning adjustments

• "Ask about Favorite Music" and "Ask about Favorite Fashion" are now autonomous.

• "Practice Fighting" is now available for more Sims before Fitness Level 9, but will only be autonomously performed under strict circumstances. If Parenthood is installed, Sims take a medium hit to Manners when performing it.

• "Complain About Classes" is now available for more Sims. Previously, was only available for Sims with Grade F. If Parenthood is installed, Sims take a small hit to Responsibility when performing it.

Interaction Cooldowns

• More interactions added.

• "Ask About Day", "Share Secret", "Share Vampire Secret", "Spout Memes", "Ask to Show off Tattoo", "Fish For Compliments", "Ask For Compliment"

• "Discuss Local Fishing Spots", "Discuss Neighborhood Changes", "Chat About Property Values"

• "Complain About Classes", "Complain About Textbooks", "Complain About Professor"

• Several Compliments. See original post for more details.

Sensible Interactions

• Praise Vampire Lifestyle – appears when talking to a vampire if your Sim has Vampire Lore ≥ 2, doesn’t have the Skeptical trait or any vampire turn‑offs/dislikes, and hasn’t been recently bitten, or if your Sim has traits that make them enthusiastic about vampires (e.g., Mystical, Macabre or Vampires Turn‑On/Like traits). The interaction is unavailable if your Sim has recently been bitten.

• Recall Mortal Life (Vampires) – only appears for vampires provided they were ever mortal to begin with. It becomes available when your Sim and the target are at least Good Friends OR if the interaction takes place between two vampires.

• Chat About Property Values – only appears when both Sims are in their home neighborhood.

• Complain About Local Youths – only appears when both Sims are in their home region.

• Discuss Local Fishing Spots – only appears when the target Sim is a neighbor and your Sim has at least Fishing skill level 2 and doesn’t dislike fishing, or if they have a trait that likes fishing.

• Discuss Neighborhood Changes – only appears when both Sims are in the same home region.

• Gossip About Neighbors – appears when the Sims are neighbors (i.e., they share a neighbor relationship bit).

Sensible Autonomy

• Serenade – only triggers when City Living is installed and the Sim has either Singing skill ≥ 3 and doesn't dislike singing, or has the “Likes Singing” preference; otherwise, when City Living is not installed, the interaction triggers when Sims have Charisma skill ≥ 3 or have the Music Lover or Romantic trait. Sims in a bad mood can’t autonomously serenade.

• Ask To Be Best Friends – only triggers if neither Sim already has a BFF or Bromantic Partner; autonomy won’t fire if either Sim is already someone’s BFF.

• Ask To Show Off Tattoo – triggers only when the target has a recent‑tattoo buff, both Sims are clear of a hidden Ask to Show Off Tattoo cooldown (created by EA, but not used), and the Sims either have at least 15 friendship or the asker is in the Tattoo Artist career.

• Complain About Local Youths – only triggers for Sims who are Elders or have the Grouch or Hates Children trait.

• Holiday celebrations – Blow Horns, Throw Confetti, Spin Noisemaker, Share Spirit/Excitement, Ask If You’ve Been Good or Bad (autonomous only) – Sims will autonomously perform these festive actions when they’re in very upbeat moods (Very Happy, Playful, Very Playful, or Hysterical), or have cheerful/perky‑type traits (Cheerful, Perky, Cringe, Chased by Death or Father Winter Baby) and aren’t in a bad mood; Party Animals will do them when acting as a guest/host at a party, and Sims with the Dance Machine trait will do them at venues like bars, lounges, clubs, the ruins, Ocean Bluff or Chalet Gardens.

• Be Thankful – triggers for Sims with good‑mannered traits who don’t have Bad Manners and have at least 15 friendship with the target.

• Holiday Toast – Sims will make a toast autonomously when they are in a Confident mood and at least 15 friendship with the target, OR when they have the Party Animal trait and are acting as a guest/host at a social event.

• Holiday singing – similar to Serenade: When City Living is installed Sims will sing when they have Singing skill ≥ 3 and don’t dislike singing, or if they have the Likes Singing preference; When City Living is not installed, Sims need Charisma skill ≥ 3 or the Music Lover trait. In all cases, Sims in a bad mood won’t sing autonomously.

• Belly Laugh – Sims will do a belly laugh when they are in an Very Happy, Playful, Very Playful or Hysterical mood and don’t have the Hates Children trait, or when they have traits such as Cheerful, Perky, Cringe, Chased by Death or Father Winter Baby and aren’t in a bad mood.

• Complain About Holiday – Sims will complain about the holiday when they have negative or curmudgeonly traits (Jealous, Evil, Hates Children, Paranoid, Macabre, Skeptical, Gloomy, Grouch), or if they’re in a bad mood (Angry, Sad, Stressed or Uncomfortable) and aren’t Father Winter’s Baby.
