Age Group Custom Preferences is already out for the Public.
This is the first set of custom preferences I made and I plan to do more of this😄

If you are a patron, please read my post regarding Modding Plans for the next months.
Again, thank you for all your support and I love you all. 💞💕💓

I have finished the overhaul of my Patreon download pages. It should have fixed all broken links.
If you still see any broken links in the download pages, please report to me.

Sorry for the ping again! This is a friendly reminder that Trait Tracker Injector by MAL22 was updated just before patch 184.

If you use my Genetic Rewards and/or Inherited Aspiration Bonus mods, please get the update of Trait Tracker Injector on MAL22's site.

Also:

UPDATE: Smarter Self-Care V12

Added Four more packages to make better Nausea, SpellcasterNeed, SmallAnimalANDLivestockNeeds, and PetNeeds

NEW: Pet Explore Bush Tweaks

These are edits of the game tunings to disallow autonomy of cats and dogs exploring bush; disable the dirtiness from getting sprayed by a skunk; disable the sickness from being bitten by squirrels.
When I am testing my update for Smarter-Self, I found the pets are extremely obsessed with exploring bushes. They always get bitten by squirrels and get sick. Or get sprayed by a skunk and become dirty. 😅
Three packages to stop these. You can choose any or all you want.

Three new mods and another two mod updates today.

UPDATE: Custom Traits in Club Filter v16

Updated to include: Twisted Heart Trait added in Sims free delivery, missing ghost traits from Paranormal Stuff, missing preferences from Cottage Living, missing traits from my 100 Base Game Traits V2 reward versions, and my new Absent Emotion Traits Pack.

UPDATE: Sorted Traits Picker V3.1

Updated Picker_My_BaseGame_Reward for Twisted Heart Trait added in Sims free delivery.
Updated Picker_DO NOT REMOVE . ts4script for showing my Absent Emotion Traits Pack if installed.
Added Traditional Chinese Translations for V3 by Moonlikeruo. Thank you!

NEW: Absent Emotion Traits Pack

🤗 A total of 18 Custom Traits to forbid a Sim from getting a moodlet of a certain kind of emotions.

🤗 I decided to make a separate traits pack for these because these game effects are handy for gameplay when you find a type of emotion very annoying. However, keep in mind that this will make goals that require a specific emotion to be impossible to complete.

Each trait has its own CAS animations, Whims, Impacts on Character Values, and Disabled Emotions.
Provided with CAS Traits version and Reward Traits version that can be used together
CAS version Located in Emotional Category

** Supporting Lumpinou's custom moods. It is not required but highly recommended to download Lumpinou's custom moods and my Lumpinou addon for 100 Traits V2 to utilize this Absent Emotion Traits Pack.

** All my Custom Traits Packs are compatible with any other mods.

** They are all base game compatible. No other requirement!

Available in Reward Store. Each trait costs 115 satisfaction points.

NEW: Less Social Autonomy

I got a suggestion to reduce chatting but there is no way to do it with only editing one or two game tunings because there are many values in the game affecting social autonomy. So, this mod is to simply inject a buff to all Sims to lower Social Autonomy globally.

NEW: Less/More Fun Autonomy

Again, this mod is to inject a buff to all Sims to REDUCE / INCREASE Fun Autonomy globally.

🌞 Happy Patch Day! I have updated two mods for patch 1.84.
All other Mods, Traits, and CCs are compatible with the current patch.

That means I will upload the new trait pack I have hinted at as well as two minor new mods as scheduled tomorrow. 😉

UPDATE: All Traits In Reward Store

Updated STORE_Preferences (chingyu_Pref_RewardStore_BG) to include Likes and Dislikes World Music added for patch 1.84
Updated STORE_Personality (chingyu_P_RewardStore_EP10) to fix a bug conflicting with my EA Traits As Reward V2

UPDATE: Less Obsession V1.3

Updated chingyu_LessDanceToStereo for patch 1.84
Updated chingyu_LessComputer for patch 1.84

I know most of you guys subscribe to me for content like traits or game mods.

So if you are not interested in the custom loading screens and CAS Backgrounds, no worries. I have a new mini trait pack coming soon next week and some other mod updates to my current mods this month. 😊

There is a bigger game patch this month as announced by EA. So I will have some mod updates wait until the patch so that you don't re-download things twice if they ever get broken.

Translation:

Age Group Custom Preferences

Added Italian translation by Rahl81. Thanks! (translations are merged into the mod package)

NEW: Dusty Loading Screen

NEW: Dusty CAS Background

I don't usually do CCs but I think it's good to have an eye-pleasing loading screen and CAS Background to refresh the game.
These nine colors are neither too bright, too dark, nor too saturated so they're good for gameplay.
This palette applies to both mods so that you can match the colors.

See the HTML color codes of this Palette. Feel free to apply my palettes to your creations.
