SUGAR | Persistent Accessories Mod

What does it do?

Normally, WickedWhims animations strip accessories assigned to WRIST, RING, & HAT — including jewelry you picked in CAS (nipple rings, etc). I wanted a way to keeps those accessories on, and provide a pie menu to change them at any time.

How to install?

Unzip and put SMSims_PersistentAccessories.package and SMSims_PersistentAccessories.ts4script in your Mods folder, no more than one folder deep. Script mods buried deeper will not load.
The compatible accessories files can be placed anywhere in your mods folder (if you have earlier versions of these accessories, PLEASE DELETE THEM FIRST).

In game: Game Options → Other → Enable Custom Content and Mods, and tick Script Mods Allowed. Restart the game after enabling script mods.

How to use in-game?

Whatever compatible accessories your Sim wears on their Everyday outfit will stay on when they undress. That's the main vision for this mod, for NSFW accessories to be able to stay on during undressable useage and animations, without the need for you to do anything extra. Easy!

I've gone ahead and updated a few compatible accessories, plus added extra category options for them.

The rule of thumb going forward will be:
ALL compatible accessories are available as RIGHT & LEFT WRIST.
NIPPLE accessories are also available as RIGHT & LEFT MIDDLE FINGER (ring)
BELLY accessories are also available as RIGHT & LEFT INDEX FINGER (ring)
BOTTOM (peen) accessories are also available as RIGHT & LEFT RING FINGER (ring)
At a later date, HAT options will be included.

NOTE: Ethan PEEN overlays takes the texture space of the RIGHT WRIST - please keep that in mind if using other WRIST assigned accessories.

Anything compatible that is assigned in CAS to the Everyday Outfit (default outfit) will be carried over to the undressed state. This means your piercings won't vanish when a Sim performs a sex animation. This fixes the problem of vanishing nipple rings, etc.

In live-mode, you can also access compatible piercings via the new pie menu option (Persistent Accessories). It will bring up a picker to apply or remove compatible accessories live, and it works if your Sim is wearing the Everyday Outfit, an undressable outfit stage, or is fully undressed and actively in a sex animation. Horray!

Important to keep in mind?

A Sim can still only wear one accessory per body slot. A left‑wrist bracelet, a right‑index ring, and a hat all coexist (dependant on UV map texturing). Each filled slot is listed under "Currently wearing" in the picker, so you can see what your Sim is wearing.

Choosing a new accessory for a slot the Sim already uses (e.g. another right‑index ring) replaces the old one. Different slots stack (a left‑hand and a right‑hand ring both stay).

If your sim is wearing a different outfit (eg. athletic) the accessories won't automatically show up - you will need to manually add them to those outfits in CAS. Only the Everyday Outfit, linked undressables, and the Wickedwhims nude state are tethered together, and only they are editable with the picker.

Troubleshooting

Nothing appears in the pie menu. Check that WickedWhims is installed and working, that Script Mods Allowed is ticked, and that you restarted after enabling it. If the menu appears but says no compatible accessories are installed, your accessory CC doesn't carry the data this mod needs and is incompatible.

An accessory shows in CAS but not when undressed. Confirm it's on the Everyday outfit specifically, not another outfit. If it is, open the Persistent Accessories menu once. That re-checks the outfit and usually sorts it out.

An accessory won't persist and isn't in the picker. It's probably not compatible. Compatible CC appears in the picker by name; anything that doesn't show up there isn't supported.

A category is missing. Categories only appear when you have compatible CC for them. If you are missing a category, it may be because you do not have any compatible accessories of that kind.

The pie menu option is completely missing on one Sim after loading. A known Sims 4 pie menu quirk. Reload the save (go to neighborhood and come back) and it fixes it.

Disclaimer

This script mod has been made with the help of ClaudeCode. I know a lot of people have reservations and hot opinions about the use of vibe-coding, and I understand that completely so I'm putting this here. Just know that without the ability to check against AI, this mod likely would have never come to fruition simply due to the specificity of it.
