BG - Wants&Fears Overhaul

WANTS:

- Adds wants to activities preferences that don't have a whimset in vanilla, so if your Sim likes painting they will want to paint.

- Adds a way to refresh wants

I had to do it with an interaction that requires 2 clicks:

You can refresh wants by type or all at once, as far as I can tell this is the scheme but Short Term Whims can also take the Long Term Whims spot:

- Tunes Down the Priority to the "Listen to XYZ Music" wants, I tried to tune down the priority to 3 from 10 so they should pop up less often.

- Brings Back Pets Related Whims like "walk a dog", "pet a dog", "adopt a pet" that have been removed from the game.

- Adds Ability to Pin Confrontational Whims, the ones you get from:

FEARS:

Dead End Job

  • Made incremental so you don't get it every single time your sim goes to work, they need to have consistently bad performaces.

  • Made it solvable from going to work in a good mood and having good performaces, this will regain their passion like the interaction does.

Fire

  • Blacklisted Adventurous and Brave

  • Made it solvable for good, chances to solve it for good below. You can solve it by following Maxis gameplay and will get a notification when it's gone forever.

Cowplant

  • Blacklisted Adventurous and Brave

  • Made it solvable for good, chances to solve it for good below. You can solve it by following Maxis gameplay and will get a notification when it's gone forever.

Crowded Places

  • Blacklisted Brave

  • Made it solvable for good, chances to solve it for good below. You can solve it by following Maxis gameplay and will get a notification when it's gone forever.

  • Reduced the chances to get it

Dark

  • Blacklisted Adventurous and Brave

  • Made it solvable for good, chances to solve it for good below. You can solve it by following Maxis gameplay and will get a notification when it's gone forever.

  • Reduced the chances to get it

  • Children are too young to solve it for good

Death

  • Made it solvable for good, chances to solve it for good below. You can solve it by following Maxis gameplay and will get a notification when it's gone forever.

Failure

  • Made it incremental in some cases so you don't get it for every poor meal your sim cooks, they need to consistently produce poor results to get it

  • Untouched but reduced the chances for the other triggers.

Ghost

  • Adventurous and Brave were already excluded

  • Made it solvable for good, chances to solve it for good below. You can solve it by following Maxis gameplay and will get a notification when it's gone forever.

Swimming

  • Blacklisted Adventurous and Brave

  • Made it solvable for good, chances to solve it for good below. You can solve it by following Maxis gameplay and will get a notification when it's gone forever.

Unfulfilled

  • Reduced the chances because WTF?!

I haven't gotten the other two yet.

_____

Chances to solve fears for good are based on the fear and the way Maxis came up with to remove it:

On confronting the fear:

50% Cowplant, Fire, Ghost

75% Crowded Places, Dark, Swimming

25% Death

This mod requires the XML INJECTOR for the interactions

This isn't done yet... I'm still playtesting the feature among other things... still thinking what to do about all the elders running around in panic because scared to die since maxis gave them the trigger on trait addition

Yep, pushed it to the extreme to showcase the new features as always. I saw elder townies are getting random fears assigned too.
