Mod update release + monthly patreon warning
EDIT aug 31: If YOU ARE HAVING AN ERROR and don't have the 'No Strings Attached' mod, re-download. There was something acting up for users who didn't have No Strings Attached due to a little oversight of mine in my code.
Hello everyone,
First, WARNING AS USUAL: TOMORROW PATREON CHARGES FOR SUBSCRIPTIONS!!! Cancel now if you don't want to stay or need to not stay for financial reasons!!
Second - new features!
We are getting back on the release train, slowly but surely as they say. As discussed before, this is the first of three thirds of module 10 of the WooHoo Wellness mod, and revolves around the new 'separated' status.
You can check the tentative module description page for more information, but I mostly advise not worrying too much about that and just playing with it.
Here's a video of one of my test runs today, as well!
Installation:
You do not need to re-download WooHoo Wellness. In fact, preferably don't if it's already up to date. (You MUST have woohoo wellness installed for this to WORK, find it here.)
HOWEVER, you will need to replace the script you already have from WHW with the one of the same name / almost same name that I am including in this post. Additionally, you will add the extra package which also come in this post.
It should look like this, minus whatever modules you don't keep.
This is different from the usual process, because this is a "small" release and part only of full module, whose other parts are still in development. To make my work faster and simplify the updating process of said partial module, I am keeping it separate from the rest of the mod currently. Once everything is done and released, this module will be integrated to the rest of the mod as always, and there will then be only one script. We are not there yet however, and I went for the quickest and most practical option.
Some useful notes about the new features:
– for half a day after entering the separated status, the Sim in question won’t be able to engage in any romantic interaction with each other. They just split up they’re not going to be lovey are they?!! After that time, they will be able to again if wanted.
– During that time period, these two sims should also be much less likely to autonomously decide to interact with each other.
– when the temporary separation is started, the Sims will lose their most positive moodlets (the happy mood for example will jump out the window) because this is a SAD time!!
– The Sims will not be able to ask each other to get back together again until they have reached about 25 points in the common ‘reconciliation’ metric.
– The result of asking to get back together depends on this metric, which is shared by both sims, but also on another metric which is individual and different between the two.
– A limitation: If a Sim he decides to go stay somewhere else, and he decides to make them return home before the separated status is removed, then you will have to remove the marker that keeps track of staying somewhere else manually, by clicking on the separated partner, going to “actions” then “woohoo wellness” then “remove relationship bit”. An interaction to do the same thing in less cheat-y way is being added.
- at the moment, you can decide to move out but do so after deciding to stay somewhere else so it all counts. Once the divorce stuff comes in I will add the options to move out permanently etc through the mod and also usable directly with separated status. For now there's the 'stay somewhere else temporarily'.
- another limitation: the sims may still greet each other with the romantic greetings.
REMEMBER, you CAN use ANY AND ALL interactions / interaction types to build reconciliation points! Romance, friendly, funny, etc! Not just the stuff from this mod :)
More coming soon,
Lumpinou

hi i dont see the seperation module at all and ive downloaded both relationship wellness
I keep having trouble with the mod and I'm not sure what's wrong. I've deleted and redownloaded it numerous times, but the option still isn't showing up.
What option and where are you looking for it
Hello! I'm having problems with the surrogacy feature. The surrogate came over to visit then I closed the game. I updated and came back and her stomach was gone. I waited a Sim day and she said she had the baby. When I asked about the pregnancy, no baby came. I tried on a different save file and when I tried to use a surrogate I wasn't given the chance to pick and when I called the surrogate mother over it said she was already there but she wasn't. I didn't see anything about the update breaking the game. Did I do something wrong?
Sounds like a mod conflict. Check compatibility info and let me know
I've been using the mod for a straight week. I've had no problems in my save files or anything! And it is still compatible with my other custom content. To everyone having problems, I would just delete everything and redownload. It may be a pain, but it'll only take like 15 min at max. This mod is awesome. Looking forward to the upcoming updates,
Thanks for this message, I try very hard to keep this mod as functional & compatible as possible and considering all its interlocking parts I assure you it can be a headache, so I appreciate seeing a comment that says 'I'm having no issues', it's validating haha 😂 there are a few known issues to the entirety of WHW yes of course, and some weirder ones that happen only to some, but most issues encountered by people are caused by installation problems indeed! Still good when people report things so I can always know if something is wrong
Hi Lumpinou, I have the separation mod on my Sims 4 but it's not working. Everything is up to date. But when I click the relationship/wellness tab, it doesn't come up and when I manually place my sim couple as separated, the game give them a divorce moodlet.
Do you have all the files shown in the screen capture in the installation instructions?
So every time I ask for a divorce it resets the separation and keeps them married :( I wanted my sims to separate and divorce but it doesn’t seem possible now.
Weird, it should work 🤔 let me re try
Seen a video about this mod being released in may and was super stoked to get it today. Hopefully everything is running smoothly for the creater and we can get it soon! 🤗
I still haven't had any luck with this mod, I removed all my custom content and other mods to try again. I took a screenshot of what my mod folder looks like for you and If you get the chance I was hoping you could see what I am doing wrong.. I absolutely love your mods and I cannot wait to use the add on of separation.

What date do you have on the script file
Hi Lumpinou! Huge fan of your mods! I have a question regarding this one. I'm trying to get my sim to "express suspicion of closeness with" for a specific sim with their partner, but the only sims showing up are ones their partner treated at the hospital? None of her friends, acquaintances, just people my sim's partner's former patients 😅 are there any mods that conflict with this? I have the most recent version of all of your mods. Sorry if this is convoluted but I don't know if you have any solutions or suggestions. Thanks in advance!
That's weird as all it requires is a certain friendship level between the sim asked a'd the sim asked about 🤔 not aware of any conflicts, can you try with another couple judt in case there's something specific to this one?
I love you!!! You made sims 4....a sims game again!!!! Thank u!!❤
Can I make a recommendation? When you release new versions of the mod, I think you should change the name of the folder but keep the file name the same. It'd make it easier to replace all when new updates are released
Hi everyone, I am very new to mods and love this mod. However, I am having trouble understanding how to get each sector of the mod into my game... if that makes sense. I have the relationship and wellness options as well as pregnancy & family.. but I can't seem to get everything else like separation options and possibly a few other options that I have seen discussed on this page. I know its an issue with how I am downloading it or if I am not downloading all the parts, but I was hoping someone could help a newbie out? thanks!
Supposing you have all the files and no mod conflict, everything should and would be there when relevant. So first thing I would say is check files, compare what you have to the list I put above, then make sure filed are directly in mods folder or one subfolder in but no deeper. Make sure you have the script file dating from August and not the one dating from April. Make sure script mods are activated in game. Then for the rest I would need to know exactly what options you are not finding
como faço pra sim ter aborto espontâneo?
I am having troubles with the mod. My teen is pregnant, but I am unable to tell the parents like I was before the new update. Why is that?
The update didn't change that so, I couldn't tell you. Unless you mean game update mayyyyybe? Any other mod you added in or changed that could mess with things?
thanks for making that add-on simple
Ok wanted to make sure I did it right and I did thank you for replying ☺️
No worries, I can understand that :)
this may be a dumb question so sorry but do i need to download 1-9 modules to make 10 work? and how do i find the links to them thank u in advance
As it says in this very post, you need the rest of the mod for this part of the mod to work. It's all one mod. You don't need to have all the modules, just the core ones at least and whatever else you want to keep.
Lumpinou, ever since finding your mods you've made my game SO much more fun. Thank you so much for everything you do!
i read somewhere that there will be child support, when will that be part of this?
Whenever it's done and ready :)
Hi when in game, I get the option to separate but after clicking on it, I no longer see a pie menu for separated. I tried re-downloading and it is still not working!!
What files do you have in?
hey im playing with your new script and better exception and mccc are both saying theres bad tuning in the new script*face palm*
You are getting a last exception error. Me and testers are not, but a few other users reported it today, some of them found it due to a mod conflict, some of them we're still not sure. What you should do is take the entire WHW mod out including the new stuff, then start the game then exit without saving, delete cache files, put mod back in. Also make sure you are using only one script for this mod and that it is the one from today. And make sure you do have the main mod and not just the files from this post here. Last, you sending me the error report would help
So now im seeing i dont have everything no wonder i cant get it to work.
You need the main mod from here like usual https://www.patreon.com/posts/50741023 Then add this stuff on to it making sure the new script replaces the old one
This is absolutely amazing. Thank you for all of your hard work on this!!
So -- im confused -- i have Wicked whims. Right now in my game i have 3 files: WooHooWellness_v2.5.4_AdditionalFileRequiredForWickedWhimsUsers.package. --- WooHooWellness_Module10_FirstThird_SeparatedStatus_Aug31.package----- and ---- WooHooWellness_v2.5.4_M1_Core_(DoNotDelete).ts4script. ---- is that all correct files to have in my game?
No it's not, you also need the main mod. You need to download Woohoo Wellness from its own page. Then download the files from today and add them in making sure thzt the script from the main release gets replaced by the one from the current release
i am so lost . how do we know what script to replace ? there is no script with the separated status in the original wohoo wellness file... pls help
Just the normal script file from the Woohoo Wellness mod. It should have the same name or almost. Format is TS4SCRIPT
This looks awesome!! In the video I notice there is a little symbol that floats up when you do the relationship interactions (the symbol with the two rings) and I was wondering if you did that yourself?
Yes it is part of the new features I made. They'll also happen when doing other interactions and show if Sims are gaining reconciliation points or losing them.
You're amazing! Thank you a thousand for making this game SO SO much better with your mods. I am so grateful we have amazing modders like you! I can NOT play without woohoowellness! I can't wait to play with this module
Hi i was wondering what do we replace? do we take out the script that comes with the WHW? and replace it with the module one in the package?
Yes you would remove the script you have from WHW and replace it with this one which is the same but with added to it the stuff needed for the new module
I just found this mod and think it’s great, it’s something I’ve been looking for months! I did come across your post, I hope your hand is healing correctly and smoothly!
You are beyond awesome! I love everything about your mods, keep up the wonderful work! Thank you!
Sorry but the tentative module description page link doesn't seem to work ^^' Thank you for this 1st update on the separated module thought ! ❤
Ahhhh you're right whatapain haha let me fix it :) There done. Patreon is annoying with links, it vanishes them half the time when creating the posts.
