Monthly Mod News: January 2023

To easily check all my Mod Status on Google spreadsheet

Jan 30, 2023:

To prepare for the next huge patch, I added a "Changelog" section on my Mod Status Spreadsheet to record all updates/new mods with their dates, links, & changes.

I hope this helps you fasten finding mods you need to re-download for updates!

Hi guys! After asking for your opinions, I decided to offer annual membership. If you join the annual membership, you will get one month for free (8% discount).

You can still stay as monthly payment if that suits you, and the charge won't change. No worries!

See you soon in February!

For patrons, I posted my Modding Plans & Discussions for 2023 about a list of mods I'm working on. The post will be updated if any changes are made. 😘

Jan 24, 2023:

Please update the following mods to the latest version to prevent LEs.

Remember to remove any package tagged with packs you don't have in Smarter Self-Care! 😉

UPDATE: Smarter Self-Care V15

Fixed potential cause of LEs
Adjusted values of all needs and cares for better autonomy
Updated for packs compatibilities in LessRiskyWoohoo
Added Smarter_addon_MoreBedSleep and Smarter_addon_MoreBreastFeed

UPDATE: Holiday Tradition Override V4

Fixed cause of LEs in romance traditions

Jan 19, 2023:

UPDATE: Uncomfortable & Negative Moods Do More

Updated BoredDoMore, UncomfortableDoMore, and TenseDoMore to fix sims canceling activities when being in extreme moods.

UPDATE: Walk Normally

Added !chingyu_PeeWalk.package for anyone who wants to use it with or without my Buff Replacement Pack
If you want to use SleepWalk and PeeWalk with my Buff Replacement Pack merged, you need to put those walk normally packages DIRECTLY in your Mod folder. Otherwise, you may delete the named packages from the pack.

💙💚An overhaul of intensity and duration of in-game buffs. This is a remade of my old beta mod "Balanced Moodlets" & "Buff Replacement Pack" from MTS. This now properly shows the right buff intensity and mood type.

Edited 750+ buffs from the base game & packs. You can choose what you want to be overhauled from these 80+ packages.
This pack mostly makes use of the underused Bored emotion, turns many frequently occurring happy buffs into fine and other emotions, tunes down unreasonable extreme values, highers some values for cheating emotions, and extends the duration of memorable events.
Base-Game Compatible
Compatible with all my other mods.

🌞 Happy patch 1.94! None of my mods and traits are affected by this small bug-fixing patch.

This means I will release my scheduled mod updates as planned this weekend. If you see any issue with my mods, please feel free to tell me on my discord! 😉

Jan 14, 2023:

Two new early-access mods today! There will be some other early-access mod updates this month. See you soon. 💜

NEW: Occult Fanatic Trait

This limits the annoying social interactions "Ask if Mermaid"; "Impersonate Mermaids"; "Enthuse about Vampires"; "Confess Fear of Vampires"; "Debate Existence of Vampires"; "Praise Vampire Lifestyle" etc only available to Sims with Occult Fanatic trait so that they no longer occupy your Sims' social menu.

This also gives three social interactions adding a happy buff when Occult Fanatic share their love for occults.

Base-Game Compatible.
Install the addons only when you own the tagged game packs.
Compatible with all mods and cc traits by me.

Public Access: Feb 4

NEW: Exchange Store

Exchange Satisfaction Points for money and other points in the reward store. An additional way to spend your Sims' many Satisfaction Points.

Costing 2500 Satisfaction Points
Base-Game Compatible. If you don't own a required pack, it gives no effect when you buy the rewards.
Compatible with any overrides of reward store tuning because this uses an injector instead.
There should be NO conflicting mod.

All Traits In Reward Store v2.1 has already been available to the public. 😄

Jan 1, 2023:

✨Happy New Year!

A fix on an early-access mod & two free new small game mods for some gameplay styles.

NEW: Stay Fine

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.

NEW: No Fear Trigger

This disables the auto trigger of fears. You can still access fears with my All Traits In Reward Store, Add Traits Menu, or any other cheating mods. Requires XML injector.

UPDATE: All Traits In Reward Store v2.1

I double-checked the tunings again and I figured out what went wrong! It is a trait ID wrongly entered as its buff ID in chingyu_STORE_RewardTraits_EP12. I'm so sorry for this mistake which leads to V2 throwing LE & not working.
