[Mod] Likes and Dislikes - Pick In Live Mode + Auto-Assigns - Integrates Modded Preferences - Sims 4

Likes and Dislikes - Pick In Live Mode + Auto-Assigns - Integrates Modded Preferences

 Two patrons requested this this week as they saw I made that other mod [this is a link], so here it is.

1. Set Likes and Dislikes in Live Mode for any Sim on lot

Under "actions" on your own Sim and on others.

2. (Optional) Turn Ons / Offs Auto-assignment system - for npc, played, or both

Settings under "actions".

Turning these On takes effect after a restart, turning them off takes effect immediately.

NOTE: Auto Assign: EA Default VS This Mod:

EA default: (Unmodded)

  • assigns likes and dislikes to sims of unplayed households only, and generally only when they interact
    - The EA npc assign system also generally recognizes only the EA likes and dislikes, NOT modded one. This .EA default is 'sufficient' for many players but a might be a bit limited for others. 

This mod:

  • instead makes assignments for every npc as soon as the game loads them,

  • AND integrates other modders' custom preference traits.

  • And also gives the choice to assign to Played households which EA doesn't do.

  DOWNLOAD & Installation:

1 - remove files from previous versions of this mod, if any

2 - REQUIRED: Lumpinou's Toolbox Library-Mod.
If you don't already have it, grab the REQUIRED "Lumpinou's Toolbox" Library-Mod here (alt: here), and put it into your mods folder or one subfolder, NO DEEPER.

3 - grab the .package file for the mod (link below), and put it into your mods folder or one subfolder.

is there a way to prevent the auto-assignment/generation of ALL/ANY preferences to any sims by the game, regardless of if they are played or not? basically, i don’t want sims to have any preferences that weren’t assigned or approved by me directly. the households in my rotational save keep ending up with a ridiculously long list of preferences that i didn’t assign them every time i come back to them, and i have to routinely enter CAS and remove all the extra unwanted preferences from each sim, which is extremely tedious. i already have "auto assign to unplayed households" off so i assume it's EA's system doing this and not your mods. the same goes for the auto-assigning of lovestruck turn-ons/turn-offs too

This is great but I found that for CAS to load with custom preferences installed (Helaene's Preferences Plus anyway, which is updated) another mod by Zerbu is still needed. https://zerbu.tumblr.com/post/756892231287422976/the-sims-4-mod-the-custom-preferences-mod If possible it would be nice if you could integrate whatever is allowing CAS to load into this (one less mod is always a good thing 😊) but no worries if not. Thanks!

Hi, the reason for custom categories to need an extra mod is because there is a simdata factor involved. This means that all modders who make custom categories have to share ONE file that is therefore maintained for all mods by one person only. Hence, Zerbu is doing this, so nobody else should :) I hope that makes sense! Regardless of that, custom preferences from other modders, wether they have a custom category or not, are integrated by my mod :) but yeah that doesn't remove the category related requirement which has to do with mods that use custom categories and not with my mod Thanks!

Hey love, I'm not sure which one of your mods is doing this because I have all your mods in a folder and it's not allowing my sims 4 game to load whenever I try to open a save file to play.

Hi, sounds like an installation problem 🤔 but to check it up we'd need to see some logs on discord :)

do you need your pick "turn ons and turn offs" mod if you have this one? Or does this allow you to pick both?

Lumpinou · August 1, 2024

Hi, it's separate / independent. They don't require each other and they each do their own thing. This one is only for likes dislikes that are not of the turn ons/ offs category, and the other is the opposite
