In Other News Lets Talk Mods

SimSweep has been eating all my time (in a good way), but SYVR was never meant to be just a tools brand. I've got mod ideas that have been sitting in my head for months, and before I start building, I want to know what you guys actually want to play.

Right now the only mods I've published are my lot trait packs. Those were fun to make, but they're small. What I really want to build are the bigger system-level mods, the kind of thing you install and never take out because it changes how the game feels.

Here's what I've been designing behind the scenes.

Living World

This one is about making the world feel like it remembers what your Sim did. Dynamic life events that react to decisions, a reputation system that persists across the neighborhood, and relationship consequences that actually stick.

Right now the game forgets everything. Your Sim can do something terrible and the world just shrugs. Living World would change that. Neighbors talk. Reputation spreads. Decisions have ripple effects you don't see coming until three in-game weeks later when someone brings it up.

Less fleshed out than Criminal Underworld right now, but the core idea is strong.

Criminal Underworld

A full crime system from the ground up. Not just "commit crime, get arrested." This is about building a criminal empire.

Think planning and executing crimes (theft, fraud, extortion, burglary) with actual skill checks and outcomes that aren't just random dice rolls. A heat system where evidence accumulates over time, witnesses can be bribed or intimidated, and investigations build against you. Dirty money vs clean money, laundering through business fronts, fencing stolen goods. Legal consequences that actually matter: arrest, trial, sentencing, criminal record that follows your Sim and affects careers, relationships, and housing. And eventually, organization building. Recruit crew members, manage territory, deal with rivals, handle betrayal.

The v1.0 would be a complete crime loop (execute crimes, manage heat, face consequences, launder money). Empire building gets layered in over time. Similar to how Basemental grew from a focused drug mod into a massive system.

Something else entirely

Maybe neither of those is what you want. Maybe you want something I haven't thought of yet. That's what this post is for.

What I want from you

I'm not going to build something nobody wants to play. So tell me:

Which of these excites you most? Criminal Underworld, Living World, or something completely different?

What's missing from your game right now? Not specific mods, but what kind of experience do you wish existed? What makes you think "why doesn't anyone make this?"

What mods do you currently consider essential? Knowing what you already can't play without helps me understand where the gaps are.

Drop your thoughts in the comments. Even a one-liner helps. This is going to directly shape what SYVR builds next.

I added a download for all my current mods (even unreleased) that have been made.
