🔎 Not Required but Recommended Mods:
My Balanced Life is a well-rounded mod to generally give Sims of different ages a more realistic Metabolism, Moods, Skills, Relationships with other age groups, Need Decays, Autonomy to clean, romance, be friendly, etc. It also supports Lumpinou_MoodPackMod.
My Smarter Self-Care to have better Sim autonomy in taking care of needs before motives go too low.
My Stay Fine is a simple one-package mod to add a hidden "fine" buff to push Sims to stay in a fine mood unless with multiple buffs of other emotions.
My Lock Motives Decay When Asleep to lock energy/ all other motives decay when sleeping.
My Less Obsession is a mod fixing the Sims' obsession with several objects. It does NOT completely disable the autonomy but lowers it at a more realistic rate.
My Walk Normally disables all emotional walks in lower levels of emotions but allows emotional walks in extreme emotions or has selected CAS walk styles; disables sleepy walks when being tired while allowing having the sleepy walk when being exhausted; enables Outdoor Running for Sims that are having an emotional walk.
My Uncomfortable Do More allows your Sim to do sports/ other activities when they are in an uncomfortable mood.
My No Mopping in Bad Weather / Outdoor is a small tuning edit to stop mopping in bad weather/outdoors.
My Faster/Slower Relationship Progress injects a buff to all Sims to reduce or enlarge the relationship's gain/loss by multiplying a value. Unlike my other Slower Relationship Change, it doesn't edit any game tunings and is compatible with any other mods.

I see that this mod was posted in 2025, does it still work with the new 2026 updates??
Hi! I've been looking to download again this awesome mod and noticed that the patreon's link was missing on your google site, thought I'd let you know. Thanks a lot for all your incredible mods that are changing my game for the best.
The link is fixed now. Thanks for telling me! 💜
Hi ! I've been dreaming about a mod like that for ages, thank you so much ! Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work in my game : at first i had some same sex couples generated, but now it's just the usual single Sims and single mothers with a teen and a kid that don't even have family resemblance. Could it be some mod compatibility issue ? I have MCCC and Kuttoe's Home Regions
Is there any way you can make an add on adjust the number of ghosts (especially children) that are generated? After Life and Death I constantly have to watch out for families that spawn with a ghost kid, or ghost spouse. I already get ghosts when people die, so I don't think I really need the game to spawn more. It feels really weird to have the game spawn in families like this haha.
Okay! I can see if I can disable ghost and/or other occult species being spawned. 😉
Heyy! Just a heads up that this mod conflicts with basemental gang mod.. it affects being able to initiate the gang events
Could you help me test this with today's update, which fixes a bug for calling Sims services?
Thank you for this mod! However, I have noticed an issue I wanted let you know about. With this mod installed, anytime I try to hire a sim over the phone or call the adoption agency, they just never show up. I've tried with butlers, maids and when trying to adopt a pet. I did remove all other mods, delete localthumbcache than trying again with this mod installed so I am very certain it is this one that is causing it.
Hi! I found and fixed the cause of this issue in NPC_FewerSingleSims_BGC. Thank you for reporting this to me! 🙏
ooh thank you! bad townies have been the bane of my existence lately 😂😂
this sounds amazing!! does it work with the mcc tray importer settings?
I have been using these with other MCCC population functions, but I haven't yet tried the MCCC tray importer. Though my tuning mods rarely conflict with script mods. These are replacements of the EA household templates tunings to fill in roles, visitors, etc. I will test it with the tray importer to see how they work together. 😀
this is such an amazing mod! I've been wanting a mod like this for years! Thank you so much!
