More mod updates, translations, and a new tuning mod for everyone!

UPDATE: Holiday Tradition Override V2

V2:
Updated for 100 Base Game Traits Pack V2.3, the reward traits added in the latest version
Updated to include EA Traits As Reward V2, e.g. a Sim with a Neat reward trait will now love cleaning tradition.

UPDATE: Age Up add Preferences V2

V2:
Updated for an addon for Decor Preferences. Only use the Addon for Decor Preferences when you own Dream Home Decorator Game Pack! Otherwise, you will get LEs!

NEW: Meaningful Social Context

This is a tuning mod to adjust conversations to make it easier to get more than a "casual discussion".
Sims will be easier to get into meaningful conversations like Funny, Offensive, Boring, Steamy, etc. with only about two to three social interactions.
Sentiments will also have a bigger impact on how a conversation goes.
Previous conversation context also stays a bit longer after the Sims stop chatting.

** Base-Game Compatible
** Compatible with ALL mods by me.
You can choose which type of context you want to be adjusted
This edits the game social context tunings. Check out the edited tunings below to make sure you don't have any conflicting mods by other creators!

Surprise! I'm sorry for keeping you waiting so long for this month's new mods. I have been working on and testing this new mod for a few weeks and I am proud of how it works in the game.

This is my first attempt to make a social attraction system with the preferences feature. I would like to build a trait-based attraction system with this technique.

I will share more about my future plan of this system in detail in the patrons' cafe on Discord and ask for your opinions on this. 😁

It is mid-night time here so I will upload the other mod updates tomorrow so that I won't accidentally upload or delete wrong things 😅

NEW: Age Group Custom Preferences

This brings a new preferences category of Age Groups.

I create this because I feel like Sims should have more unique preferences in their social aspect. I also don't like that there is only a Hate Children "trait" and none for liking or for other age groups.

A Sim will have their own reactions, autonomy, faster and slower relationships built with other Sims depending on their own Age, Preferences, and Relationship Levels with the other Sims.

You can pick and choose any of the custom preferences in CAS.

** Base game compatible. No other requirement!

** Compatible with any other mods.

NEW: Faster/Slower Relationship Progress

This mod is to inject a buff to all Sims to reduce or enlarge the relationships gain/loss by multiplying a value.

Unlike my other Slower Relationship Change, this doesn't edit any game tunings and is compatible with any other mods.
I still highly recommend Slower Relationship Change rather than this one as that mod reduces the extreme values. This mod, however, would reduce or increase value proportionally.
You CAN pick and mix and match what serves your gameplay style.
You CAN use this together with Slower Relationship Change to reduce the relationship changes even more.
Require having XML injector in your Mod folder!!!
