Storytelling Social - Explain Problems

I'm not sure what compelled me to make this, but while working on something else I got the idea to create a friendly interaction that changes based on a variety of moods. The idea behind it was to create a more interesting response to "Ask what happened" or another way your sim can express their bad day with friends and family.

The Main Interaction is called 📝Explain Problems under the Friendly Social Pie Menu, however, it changes text based on the following moods:

  • Angry - Rant About Problems

  • Bored - Reluctantly Talk About Problems

  • Confident - Boldly Discuss Problems 

  • Embarrassed - Nervously Explain Problems

  • Energized - Rush Through Problems

  • Flirty - Confess Romantic Problems

  • Focused - Problem Solve with {Target Sim's Name Here}

  • Happy - Discuss Problems

  • Inspired - Brainstorm Problems with {Target Sim's Name Here} 

  • Playful - Joke About Problems

  • Sad - Cry About Problems

  • Dazed - Ramble About Problems

  • Tense - Vent About Problems

  • Uncomfortable - Confide About Problems

The Interaction is set to Autonomous and works with ages Child to Elder. I purposely left it vague, except for when flirty so the player/user can decide what problems their sim or other sims in their world are experiencing. That way it isn't predetermined for you making it much easier to create a story. That is also why I left autonomy turned on for it as well. Who does your sim trust enough to reveal their hardships to? 

Enjoy & Thanks 💜

What an good idea! As always. For the second part involving Oliver, it's ok to do the right thing for you whatever it is! Take care!

Thanks, I had this random thought and just ran with it. I wasn't even sure if I was going to release it but It turned out really neat so I said, why not.

Thank you for sharing this mod!!! I love that it’s autonomous and varies based on mood. I think it will really open up storytelling and gameplay. Also re: the PSA: I’m not sure what’s happened but I’m sending you love, warmth, strength and healing ❤️

No problem. I live for more options for storytelling. Guess that's the creative writer in me. I'd like to do more like this.
