Minor Annoyances Mods
A collection of mods to stop some things in game that annoy the shit out of me.
Most of these mods require the Core Library to work.
UPDATES:
22/09/2026
Updated for September 22 Patch: Disliked Things are Boring (Music only)
G-Drive Folder
Click on the links to download.
Collapsed Sims Animation Replacer : requires Realm of Magic. Changes the collapsed animation in the pass out interactions with a more serious one from RoM. The RoM animation doesn't work on children, that will still use the old one.
No Forced Slow ExperienceMOVED :formerly in tweaks. Disables the forced "Slow Experience" feature from Snowy Escape. The feature can be enabled for a Sim from an interaction.No Run : makes Sims walk instead of running everywhere, also unlocks the Jog interaction. The feature can be enabled on a Sim from an interaction.
No Preroll: preroll autonomy is that autonomy that triggers for Sims on are left on lot when you travel and go back home, or upon loading the game. Also included in Autonomy Toggle.
No Greetings: disables the mandatory greetings before starting to talk when Sims haven't seen the other Sim for a while that was introduced with Get Together patch.
No Gardening: soft, overrides-free attempt to stop autonomy for gardening, it's not fully reliable but it's conflicts free.
No Likes And Dislike Chance Cards: disables the gameplay element of likes and dislikes, basically the pop-ups asking you if your Sim likes or dislikes what they're doing.
React to Collapsed Sims : Sims will react to passed out Sims instead of ignoring them. Added also reactions for pets.
Slower Fish Freshness Decay: makes fish stay fresh longer.
Wave Goodbye : range to wave goodbye when NPCs leave the lot reduced and now requires friendly relationship.
Disabled Lifestyle Idles: disables the 25 idles animations from lifestyles.
No Reaction to Messy Environment: disables or tweaks the reaction Sims play when in a messy environment, for example when there is rubbish or something broken nearby. There are 3 versions of this one inside the zip, you only need one even though they don't conflict. You can choose to disable the reaction for all Sims, only Sims with some traits, or have only Sims with specific traits react to the mess. More info inside the text file in the zip.
Tense From Bills : Sims with unpaid bills will have a chance to get tense.
Coffee Redux: reworks coffee buffs that in vanilla last too long and do to little.
Vanilla: buffs last 6h and only affect autonomy making sims less likely to sleep or nap.
Modded: buffs only last 1h but reduce or lock the energy decay (depending on coffee quality) in addition to the vanilla autonomy modification.
Included in BG Core Emotions Rebalance (this is the one that started that mod)
Disliked Things Are Boring [^} : This mod changes the stressed mood Sims get when doing things they dislike into a bored one.
Venues Requirements : makes some mandatory requirements in the Park, Library and Bar venues, optional (chess tables and TV). This mod will flag your lots as modded, keep it in mind if you share on the gallery.
Expansion Packs
[DU] No random roommates stuff: stops roommates from performing some annoying behaviour:
[IL or EbN] Stop ageing - give immortality to Mermaids and Fairies: doesn't require both packs, you can mix and match with the options. The main file contains all the tuning necessary for the options to work but you need the optional files for them to show up. Optional files only contain an empty tuning to check if they're installed and they'll never need updating. Mix and match as you please.
Stop Ageing [ Mermaids - Fairies ] : similar to vampire, these occults will not age past teen stage. They can still die unless you add the other file on top.
Immortality [ Mermaids - Fairies ] : proper immortality. These occults will not die. This will not stop ageing unless you add the other option on top.
MAIN FILE always required regardless of the configuration you pick.
Game Packs
[Vampires or RoM] React to Teleport and Cauldron : non Occult Sims will react to vampires and spellcasters teleport and to spellcasters using a cauldron.

Thank you Zer0, I translated in Spanish (free) - https://www.patreon.com/JASimmer1/posts/170483988?utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=ios_share_native
Love this types of mods, thank you so much. Can i ask you, if the other mods are still compatible? <3
I've always wondered how Sims who faint don't get hurt when they fall... Also, I wish we had mods that remove CAS outfits I'll never use.
The No Likes And Dislike Chance Cards doesn't work for me
For some reason I can't download Zero_MinorAnnoyances_BG_MessReaction_AllSims.package Both files look like links to the download but don't take you anywhere.
Thank you so much! It bothered me SO much when sims would completely ignore passed out sims. Thanks for everything you do, your mods are awesome!
Hi Zero! Did you have the fix for Social Bunny Simulation Lag? Like disabling Social Bunny or something similar?
Nope. I have a mod that removes the notification.
Appreciate these attentions to small things - some of them make a big difference! Just wanted to check that all your mods are compatible w/ the 8/19 patch since I'm updating mods? I didn't see any kind of post mentioning the patch, so wanted to make sure I didn't miss something.
I am updating mods, and I found a mod called: Zero_BG_TuneDownIdles, plus these files: MTS_Scumbumbo_SCAM_SCRIPT_v6 and its package file. Is this up to date? Is it still a valid mod? I can't find it here
Tune down idles has been renamed to faster autonomy and less idles, you can find the updated version here https://www.patreon.com/posts/115406222?utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=android_share SCAM is still working from what I could test although I think they dropped support of it in favour of MCCC. I'm still using SCAM though.
Awesome colection of mods! Is it possible to add "sims are not scared of thunderstroms inside AND outside" mod ? There's one but that's only for inside....
That's basically removing the scared mood from thunderstorm, only for adults or adults and children alike? What about pets?
is it possible to make a mod to lessen the amount of random boyfriend/girlfriends uni roommates spawn in?
It's possible to make it less frequent. The game is pretty much tuned for the standard lifespan, so all things based on commodities go by fast and it doesn't dynamically change the decay when you change the lifespan length in the options (even worse when you use a custom lifespan). I think that one interaction in particular is tuned to run every 24 hours or less.
Yay! Thank you!
Hi, I was wondering about 'No Reaction to Messy Environment' - You wrote that there are 3 options and a readme in the zip, but there is only 2 files and no readme. I'd love to try the option where only sims with certain traits react, but I'm unsure whether that's the one that's missing or not?
It's probably missing because I forgot to add it back when I updated it. I'll see if I can find it somewhere tomorrow.
I was wondering would you ever consider creating a mod that stops the sims from passing out? I honestly hate the whole thing where they collapse and then it takes too long for them to recover and it always happens when I’m sending them to bed already.
Thank you for all these updates. Am I right in assuming the 'misery must not die' script is no longer needed?
Yeah no need anymore, I used the injector
Will the “ No Likes And Dislike Chance Cards” one prevent the ones for unplayed sims? I’ve seen people mentioning getting them for sims they’ve never played.
I don't think so... but it could. I just added the cooldown buff that prevents the card from appearing always on for every sim, so they'll be always in cooldown... but if the preferences are added on unplayed sims in another way then this will not stop them. You can bet that if I notice this happening in game I'll remove it too, anyway. Right now I don't have time to test the new patch further.
Thank you for this! Is there a no goodbyes mod by any chance? :D
You mean the wave goodbye when a npcs is leaving?
You mean my Sims will now be able to eat their breakfasts in peace without greeting the person they share a house with?? FASCINATING. Downloaded. Thank you!
I don't mind the greeting so much as the fact that it cancels out any interaction you queued up before it. So..I will be using the mod. :)
That's me, Lisa! I don't MIND when they greet each other. Fine. Go ahead. Greet. But not if I have give you a directive to follow.
Oh man you are the master at eliminating annoyances 🤗
Oh excellent. Thanks!!
