Avoid Me
Allows you to avoid interactions by category with specific Sims.
🔽 Download: CurseForge / SFS
Requires: Lot 51 Core Library
Supported Languages: All 🌍
Patch Resilience: High ℹ️
This mod adds an Avoid menu under Actions that lets you block specific interaction categories from firing autonomously between two Sims. It's perfect for affair partners, secret relationships, or to keep certain Sims from interacting for a period of time.
How It Works
Click a Sim (age Child and up) that your Sim has already met, then go to:
Actions → Avoid
Choose a category and duration. While active, those autonomous interactions will not fire between the two Sims.
Categories
Friendly, Mean, Mischief, Funny, or Romance
Avoid Indefinitely (blocks everything at once)
Durations
4 hours
8 hours
1 day
3 days
1 week
Indefinitely
Removing Blocks Early
Avoid blocks can be cleared before they expire by:
Directing your Sim to perform an avoided interaction (clears the block for that category)
Using the Allow option on the category in the Avoid menu
Using the Stop Avoiding option (if all interaction categories are blocked)
Exceptions
NPC to NPC interactions are unaffected
NPCs designated as special by EA are not able to be avoided
Sims fulfilling jobs designated as important by EA may still use Friendly/Mean when required
The option to block Romance with a Sim only appears when age, sexual orientation, and family relationships allow it
Compatibility
This mod does not directly overwrite any game files so it will not conflict with other mods.
This mod is base game compatible
This mod was made possible by Sims 4 Studio and Tuning Builder.

Hi am I doing something wrong? I have 2 child Sims. Boy Sim is really mean so I had the girl Sim avoid him, but they are still having autonomous interactions.
Avoided all interactions or just certain ones?
Hey, this mod is working? I set avoid mean for my mean sim for family member and still she autonomus doing mean interactions ;/ I can send you clip/screenshot but i don't know where
It's working, but there are some holes I've discovered. I will patch this week.
I have two sims, servos, who are supposed to avoid each other completely. But when they are in the same room they cant stay away from each other.
I'll fix. Thanks for letting me know!
Hi! Thanks for this wonderful mod, it's been super helpful. Quick question for you: I accidentally blocked romance between the wrong two sims but now I can't seem to undo it because it was set to avoid indefinitely. Is there a way to undo it? The options you gave for ending it early don't appear for me.
Hi sorry, I only just saw this. Did you ever figure this out?
Hey, I have two sims in familly and i use Avoid all interaction, but they used friendly interaction autonomously anyway.
Might be a change with the new patch, I’ll have to look.
Amazing idea. This is definitely going in my mod shopping list for later. Thank you!
Your mods are always perfect, thank you Ty!
Hi, sorry for my noob questions, but are unplayed Sims considered NPCs? And butlers&ranch workers are special/important ? I'm just asking because they think they can talk to my queen like they are friends. Thank you for this mod !
Hi tyjokr! Your work is absolutely amazing — I actually prefer it over 'Meaningful Stories'. Quick question: is it safe to use all of your mods on an older game version (1.118), or would you advise against it? Thanks a lot!
Some of them may work. There are older versions of some of my mods on CurseForge. You’d want to download the ones that are before the Royalty patch.
Interesting mod! Might be especially useful for me for the romance and mean category. Will this be saved? As in, if I choose to block for 8 hours and save 2 sim hours later, will it remember the remaining 6 hours blockage when I load the save later? And what happens if I load another household shortly and then go back to the first household. Will the blocks for the first household be gone or are they still there?
The blocks are saved no matter what. A hidden relbit is exchanged between the two Sims and the duration requires the full 8 in-game hours to pass for it to expire.
Interesting idea. Thanks. This might solve a problem in my game. I want the "romantic kiss cheek" option available for all sims because it shouldnt be limited to romantic partners. With this mod I can have romance bars for two sims, have the romantic kiss interaction but not any other autonomous, romantic interaction happening. Nice. BUTT... what if I block romantic interactions with this mod permanently between the two sims and use the romantic interaction? If I block it temporarily the block goes away. But the permanent block? Or someone creates a mod to unlock the romantic kiss cheek interaction for high friends levels.
You can find a "Friendly Kiss Cheek" mod here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/small-mods-138824051 I don't use it myself and it's unknown if it still works for the current patch, but it would except it to be.
Hello, I would like to congratulate you on the incredible work you do. You contribute to making The Sims a game that really makes you want to play, where we can have more control and dynamism in the game. Thank you so much for that. I really admire your work. I think I have all your mods in my game, seriously. 😅💖🤗 Oh, and I would also like to thank you for having your mods translated into all languages, so I don't have to search for or create translations to be able to play my game. Seriously, this is very important to me and I believe to many people who speak other languages. ✨💖
Aww, thank you so much for this message 🥹💖! It truly means a lot to me. Making my mods accessible to as many players as possible is really important to me, so hearing that the translations have been useful for you is amazing!
Such a brilliant idea! <3
Oh my gosh I've been dreaming of a mod just like this for eternity. This will be great to ensure certain couples don't insult each other
Your mods make the game so much better
