Wicked Affairs Door Lock (WADL) Early Access v2.x
Keep the secret behind closed doors… unless someone listens too closely.
Sims are hooking up behind closed doors while a committed partner is still on the lot. One wrong step could expose everything.
Wicked Affair Door Lock gives those risky encounters their own privacy and consequences. It temporarily locks eligible room doors, lets the betrayed Sim investigate what they hear, and turns discovery into an actual story instead of a Sim simply wandering into the room.
Current version: 2.1.0b

How the Affair Plays Out
🔒 Smart door locking
When a WickedWhims scene begins between two Sims and one of them has a committed partner on the lot, WADL checks whether the room is private. If the encounter qualifies, the room doors can lock for that session.
The Early Access default is 75% - Usually, so not every affair is protected. You can change the chance from the WADL Gameplay settings. The lock is temporary and clears when the session ends.
💬 Spicy notifications
When WADL locks the room, a notification identifies the cheater, their partner in the room, and the committed partner still outside.
💗 Hearts on the locked door
With City Living installed, an active WADL lock can display floating hearts on the door. The effect is available in both editions and can be turned off in Visuals.
👂 Automatic eavesdropping
If the betrayed Sim is close enough, WADL sends them to the nearest reachable side of the affair door. Flipped doors and awkward door placement no longer force them to walk around to one fixed side.
What they hear creates suspicion, not proof:
Vague: it could have been nothing.
Suspicious: something feels wrong.
Strong suspicion: difficult to dismiss, but still not visual confirmation.
You can freely adjust the automatic eavesdrop radius from 0.0 to 128.0. A value of 0 disables it. Cross-floor detection is optional and off by default, so Sims do not normally travel down from another floor just because they heard something.
🚪 Try to Unlock- or walk away
After listening, the betrayed Sim must decide what to do:
Try to Unlock: attempt to open the locked door and enter the room. The default success chance is 50% - Sometimes and is configurable.
Ignore: leave the door without confirming what is happening.
A successful unlock is followed by room entry and WickedWhims’ normal reaction. A failed attempt or ignored sound leaves uncertainty behind.
🚪 Manual door actions
During a valid WADL affair session, the locked door can also offer:
Eavesdrop
Knock
Try to Unlock
Automatic and manual actions use the same safe two-sided routing. If an optional pack animation is unavailable, WADL falls back to a base-game door-knock animation instead of leaving the interaction broken.
Moodlets and Discovery
Listening alone does not prove an affair. Ignoring the sound or failing to unlock applies an eight-hour uncertainty moodlet based on how that Sim would receive the situation:
A jealous reaction becomes Tense.
A non-jealous or receptive reaction becomes Flirty/Horny.
Successful entry or a completed confession confirms the discovery. A jealous Sim becomes Angry; a receptive Sim becomes Flirty. Both affair actors can receive Caught in the Act.
If the default emotional strength feels too intense, enable Reduced Moodlet Intensity to use +1 versions of newly applied WADL moodlets.
Affair Fallout
Suspicion and confirmed discovery unlock temporary Affair Fallout… socials between the exact betrayed Sim and cheating partner involved. The state lasts eight Sim-hours and remains pair-specific, even if several partners are involved.
Depending on what happened, Sims can:
Question the locked door or accuse their partner of hiding something.
Act innocent or confess what happened.
Confront the affair, apologize, or defend it.
Admit they liked what they saw or ask whether the other Sim enjoyed the show.
Confessions and the final resolving choices can change Friendship or Romance and close that pair’s Fallout menu. Every social uses a matching base-game animation and icon.
After entering the room
WickedWhims handles the actual jealousy or receptive reaction. For jealous discoveries, WADL can then do nothing, make the betrayed Sim leave, request that the sex scene stop, or choose randomly. Receptive Sims can use WickedWhims’ own Watch option when WickedWhims allows it.

Really enjoying this mod! Have a question - if the npc I'm cheating on is close, I get a pop to decide for that npc if they want to try to unlock door or ignore. Is there an option to have the npc decide autonomously and not decide for them?
Yes, currently all sims, including NPCs (not in the current household) will trigger the popup. I do have plans to add autonomous behavior setting so that you can sit back and enjoy it unfold automagically, haha. It is already planned to be part of v3. No estimated release date as of now, but it will be there :D
This is so awesome!
Thank you! You are awesome!
Impressive work! Lots of new features.
Thanks! Let me know in DMs if you find any issues
Oh, I love all of the graphics and text you've added! It plays well so far!
Glad you liked it! More to come :D
