Smarter Pie Menu: Searchable - Official Release

Simply open the pie menu and start typing whatever interaction you want, it will narrow the results for you. When there's only a single interaction found, you can press enter to run the interaction.

Features

  • Searchable Pie Menu: As soon as the pie menu is opened, you can type to filter the interactions. If results are found, the menu will refresh with the filtered results.

  • Press Enter to Select: If your search returns a single result, you can press enter to immediately select that interaction.

  • Time Controls with Menu Open: Hold alt and press `, 0, 1, 2, or 3 to set the respective time.

  • Pan Camera with Menu Open: Press the arrow keys for the respective directions. There is a small delay before moving which is unavoidable due to the core game engine restrictions.

Really happy with how it's turned out. 😊

Could u make one search for traits when adding them manually for sim via pie menu cheat, that would be so helpful as there are so much traits to search for :))

There's apparently a modular version where you can just exclude the pie menu part

awesome! thanks so much!

Very cool. Avoids a whole lot of searching!

This truly is game changing. I do notice, however, that some foods (such as cake) do not show up when searched.

T
TwistedMexi · April 22, 2023

It's not a recipe search, it's interactions only. Make sack lunch has some foods as interactions, foods in a picker pop up will not show up

OH MY GOD. OH my god. OMG OMG. I want to have your sim babies. This...is.. a game changer.

This is amazing! One minor thing: the escape key doesn't pull up the menu where you can save and exit your game. Do you think you can make this work again?

T
TwistedMexi · April 5, 2023

Sure I'll take a look. Is it only when the pie menu is open or do you mean at all?

So I don't know if this is a user skill issue or something else, but this is not working for me at all - if I click on someone and bring up the pie menu, trying to type anything just works the camera controls/keyboard shortcuts. I am playing on a Mac if that has any possible bearing on this.

Shouldn't, sounds like the mod isn't active at all. But I did just find out that CAW is a conflict. It will be added to CAW soon. If it's not because of CAW please stop in discord.twistedmexi.com so we can troubleshoot

Thank you so much! Can't wait to try this. As in I'm going into game now and checking it out 🤣🤣

in which languages can I write the interactions?

T
TwistedMexi · April 4, 2023

Yes whatever your interactions display as, you can search for

this is going to be so useful for when I have to do something for an aspiration or promotion bc it's usually seven levels deep in "more options" and I accidentally click past it at least twice XD

You know, when I first saw this on Twitter I was like "ehhh, I know where everything is I don't think I'll need this." But then I was playing yesterday and was going nuts trying to find one stupid interaction. I stopped mid losing my mind and thought, "ok yea you know what, I ammmmm going to need that mod." 😂

T
TwistedMexi · April 4, 2023

I'll be honest, I just kinda find it fun to use. But I do think it'll be really useful, especially for the "every gameplay mod under the sun" people who have 30,000 interactions
