Mod: Soulmates
Updated 2/3/26 for compatibility with the latest patch.
_______________________________
Happy Love Day, y'all! This mod adds a new gameplay mechanic to the game: soulmates. Sims have a random chance of finding their soulmate when meeting someone new or interacting with someone they already know.
Unlike the Fated Mates mechanic from Werewolves, the assignment of soulmates is based more on shared traits than mood, so Sims with traits in common are more likely to be assigned soulmates, and Sims with conflicting traits are less likely to become soulmates.
Soulmates get flirty buffs when interacting with each other, and tense or sad buffs when flirting with other Sims. There is also an "Ask About Soulmate" interaction to see if NPCs have found their soulmates yet.
There are also reward store potions to make it easier to find your Sim's soulmate, or to remove an unwanted soulmate...
Finally, there is also a new aspiration centered around finding your Sim's soulmate. The reward trait for this aspiration allows your Sim to fill their needs and others with a hug (except for Bladder, because that would be really weird).

INSTALLATION NOTE: This mod requires the XML Injector. Using the XML Injector allows this mod and others to not require a script, and is used by many other mods by many other creators. Get it HERE if you don't already have a copy in your game (you do not need more than one copy).
NEW: This also has a script now to allow for reincarnation, so you must have Script Mods Enabled in your game settings! :)
Hope you enjoy!

Hi, I love this mod, but I have little question. Is it somehow possible to set it - or mod it in future in way that for some sim I could somehow restrict to find soulmates? I really don't like when already married sim is finding soulmates somewhere else so I'd like to control somehow who can have soulmate and who don't. 😅
one of my favorite mods ever! unfortunately it's making my game crash. I've tried with just this mod installed and it still crashes, and doesn't crash when I remove it. the crashes seem to happen randomly as I'm playing and it's only with this mod installed.
Does this mod work after the last update?
I love this mod so much! But I hope it's way harder to find the soulmate, my sims just right away met their soulmates real fast haha!
Hello Im using this mod for not that long, so maybe i didnt discover all its possibilities Though, id risk to ask about a few things if you allow me I have sims that met their soulmates without me noticing (yeah... i know ahah) and i find it very hard to figure who the hell it can be, once done... So id like to ask/suggest if there's an easy way to find out ? If not, id like to suggest if you can add a milestone? (btw, i think finding one's soulmate should unlock a milestone ♥) have a custom attractiveness icon? (i dont think that's possible, but worth asking right ? :D )Maybe a self-cheat "see who is souldmate"? I do love this mod, it clearly adds a lot of unplanned events in my game, and a good layer in relationships. Thank you for it ♥
Hi, little late, but I think if you buy in reward store "soulmate be gone elixir" and you are about to drink it that it shows that other sim.
I absolutely LOVE this mod. This is easily one of my Top 5 Favorite "Must Haves". I am curious about the reincarnation part of it?? Can we get a little more info on that part please?
can you choose your soulmate? please say you can.
Can you make a sim of your choosing a soulmate?
did you find the answer to this
This is one of my favorite all-time mods. I never want to play without it, and just wanted to say thank you so much for creating and maintaining this!
Im about to download the latest file for the latest patch 2/3/26. Do I still need this file in my folder "JS_Soulmates_rewardpotions.package"
Are we allowed to update this mod on our own? So long as we don't release it?
Hii!...I left two Sims together for 4 days but Soulmate does not activate, and I buy the potion but when I make them drink the potion it is not seen (they are holding something invisible in their hands) and the characters freeze (they do not drink and look into space) and I can not take the potion from their hands.👋🏻👐🏻
Hello! Soooo I just wanted to let you know! I think I found a bug, which is I downloaded this mod like today. When I put it in, my sims, who were already married with someone and love them very much randomly found „the one“ with a random. Is this a bug? Is there anything you can do?
i dont know
heyy uhm i keep having the issue that all sims i load into the game have the buff of being happy because theyre around their soulmate?? but theyre not? n some of them dont even have romantic relationships at all? n it still shows even if they dont have the soulmates relationshit bit
Hey so not 100% sure if this is a bug but figured I'd let you know. I've tried multiple saves with multiple sims and every single time my sims find their soulmate the soulmates are married. I don't know if it's just coincidence.
Newest patch?
thank you so much for the update!
Hi- my sims are being assigned soulmates that don't have compatible gender/sexuality for the sims preferences. Is an update coming soon? Thank you!!!
i'm also having issues with my sims getting multiple new soulmates almost every day :(
I, too, am having the issue of swapping soulmates. My sims keep getting new soulmates in a matter of a week.
Hi! I was wondering if we’ll be getting an update for this mod soon after the latest patch. I really love this mod — I’m currently playing a save where I use it, and honestly, I don’t think I could play without it </3
Yeah the problem with multiple soul mates is happening to me too! I hope it gets fixed soon!
Also having this issue.
I absolutely love this mod, don't wanna play without it. I'm seeing some weirdness with the latest version though. My sims are swapping soulmates constantly. Example: I had one sim soulmate with Kyle Kylsone. A few days later, he soulmated with his existing partner. A few hours after that, he met and soulmated with Caleb Vatore completely cancelling out the existing soulmate for a second time. I do have a number of other mods, but this doesn't seem like a conflict.
I noticed the newest update keeps resetting the soulmate status in the profile of my sims by notifying me of 'love in unexpected places' or 'they had known each other for a while' in the panel during a continuous conversation each visit. That status also gets overwritten/deleted when talking to another sim who then becomes their soulmate instead.
the newest update is letting my sims have more than one soulmate :/ also doesn't seem to be trait based anymore
big bummer that you've been ignoring all of us. is there a better way to report bugs to you?
I think it's really great, but soulmates already exist in the game, will this be replaced with the mod?
Would it be possible to make soulmates stay soulmates upon rebirth?
i love u for this idea ples donut dye
Is this functional w/ the life and death upd?
Just wanted to let you know that when i downloaded the latest version 2.52, when I open up the folder it says the version is 2.51
x2
The potions are not showing up in my reward store..
Hi, i made a german translation for your mod. https://www.curseforge.com/sims4/mods/german-translation-for-js_soulmates_v2-42
Hi, I made a Russian translation. Please add a link to it in the post. My name is Pumpkin4u. Thank you! https://boosty.to/pumpkin4u/posts/2d8503b3-f6b6-40e7-9738-181796849638?share=post_link
Hello, I made a Polish translation for this mod :)) https://www.patreon.com/posts/96577783
Since the last update, I can't find the cheat to make Sims soulmates. I thought it was in the Debug menu (i.e. when you Shift-Click a Sim), but perhaps I am not remembering correctly?
I love this mod. I have one quick question can a sim have two soul mate. I'm doing a poly story line
I'm just a little confused I remember in V2.3. i had 3 files The three files I had for V2.3 Which was two package files and one script file. JS_Soulmates_rewardpotions JS_Soulmates_Script JS_Soulmates_tuning And in V2.4 there only 2 files which are Package files. JS_Soulmates_MAIN_v2.4 JS_Soulmates_rewardpotions Is the script file no longer needed?
I would also like to know the same because the script file is not found now!
in this new update it only has 2 pkg files no script is this correct? just wanna make sure before I add
Hi, I was curious if we are able to choose soulmates at all? I have two characters I specifically want to have as soulmates, but I'm unsure if that's possible or if assignment isn't controllable.
Have you found a way to do this? Seen the description of the mod I was thinking of giving sims I want to be soulmates at least exactly the same traits and to see if I can get them in the same mood at the same time? Perhaps that would help?
there is an issue where my sim has every possible soulmate i think she has like 7 sms rn so yeah
Hi, thank you for the report. I'll look into this ASAP.
Thanks for the mod! After the last update of the mod, there was a problem with Sims who are attracted to the opposite sex and experiments with orientation were disabled. When talking to Sims of the same gender, the buff appears that you have found love with them, but this does not happen with the opposite gender. Previously, the buff only occurred with the opposite gender.
Hi, thank you for the report. I'm looking into this now.
Hey - if anyone has been having the always assigning bug, I think I've located a fix and would really appreciate help testing. Hit me up here or on discord - thanks!
Hi all, I've heard that there are some problems with the new update of soulmates. I'm working on an update now and should have it out by this evening. Thank you so much for your feedback!
Umm.... is there a way to stop happily married sims meeting a new soulmate who is also happily married??
Since the last update, I've been using the mod since before, it's claiming that the twin always goes to the first sim I find, before it wasn't like that, I remember there were sims that took a while to find or never found at all. Other than that, what irritates me the most is that notifications are appearing from ALL sims in the world about soulmates, sims that I have never seen in my life and that didn't happen before.
Random question; is there a way to make it harder to find a soulmate? Any time my sim meets some one for the first time, they automatically become soulmates. It happens with any sim every time. Even with saves who already have a spouse and I just added the mod. the very next time they interact with some one outside their home they become soulmates, regardless of preferances.
I like the idea and the mod. Your work is amazing. But every time I play with it, it starts directly at the first Sim that my Sim speaks to. I've tried several things. Or maybe that's really due to the properties? Played with the horse ranch pack and some sims have the same traits as horse lovers and ranchers. I also tried vampires. Same result regardless of the traits. i thought it is random?
Hello :) I have not played with this yet so quick question.. is it possible that we choose our soulmate? :)
It is a cheat. Shift+click on a sim and select 'make soulmates' and it will make your currently and the selected sim become soulmates. I'm not sure if it gets rid of the first soulmate. You may need to activate cheats with 'testingcheats true' via ctrl+shift+c'
I really like this mod, it's so dramatic hehe. And I made my Spanish Translation https://www.patreon.com/posts/almas-gemelas-x-90234274
I really like this mod. However, how do I find out WHO the soulmate is if I didn't see who was around when the soulmate buff appeared? Also, in one situation I found the 'soulmate' was of the same sex, even though they BOTH are only attracted by the OPPOSITE sex. This makes no sense. The sexual orientation of characters should come into play, not just their common traits....
Hi - thank you so much for reaching out. Let me look into those bugs now. Soulmates definitely should take into account gender preferences. You should first learn who the Soulmate is from a notification that appears when they are assigned, and afterwards it is visible in the relationship panel.
