Wants&Reactions: CORE
Notice anything different?
2 slots for "normal" wants are few right? Reactionary wants are basically useless because all you get are wants based on motives when they are low and that's it, unless you take your sim to the gym or the park or wathever and they get wants related to the venue they currently are. Plus, not all your sims are going to have fears, and if they do, they're pretty easy to overcome. Those 2 slots seems wasted to me and are, most of the time empty, so I made the Reactionary slot, a Short-Term want slot that you can pin! Since you can lock in that slot, I had to take another approach on showing reactionary wants and here I got an idea, which is to use the slot for the fear confrontation wants for CRITICAL stuff happening in your sims lives. This is a BASE mod for me to expand and work on, and add hopefully TONS of new wants related to Expansions, Stuff & Game packs based on Sims Personality, Lifestyles, Relationship, Preferences, and much more. The idea here is to use the Long-Term and Short-Term slots to fulfill your sims desires to mostly put them in a good mood helping you guide their lives, and use the Confrontation slot to overcome Fears and Bad Emotions that comes with Traits and big events.
Example 1: I have a Loner sim. I send that sim to the bar. The bar is very crowded and he gets the tense buff. He then will have a Reactionary want to "go home" or "stay away from the crowd", instead of "drink something" and "dance to the stereo" wants that show in vanilla game just because he's in a bar.
Example 2: My Sim has a girlfriend who he discovers is cheating with another sim. He will have a Reactionary want to be mean and fight said sim, instead of the nothingness of the vanilla game.
To me Reactionary wants should be used mostly to "cause a reaction" to the sim as quickly as possible to stuff happening around them and bad status in an intuitive way.
That was just a sneak peek of what I intend to do in the future, but right now this is what this first part of the mod is going to do, which is:
Reactionary want slot is now a Short-Term one.
Confrontation slot is now both Confrontation AND Reactionary.
Because I want to make Reactionary wants mostly focus on how to overcome the Bad emotions I emptied the Whimsets for the venues (you no longer get wants to "play chess" or "drink something" for being at the park/bar).
In the future, Reactionary wants based on venues will be turned into Short-Term ones and have wants such as "Go to the Gym" or "Use the treadmill at the gym" etc.
No matter if your sim has a lot of fears and you have a confrontation goal to overcome one, if your sim's motives are low they are going to take priority when refreshing, instead of having another confrontation want.
Want Refresher Potion will now only refresh Short-Term and Long-Term wants.

is this compatible with missyhissy's hopes and fears? i keep getting wants to listen to soul music and it never gets completed even after completing the action. could this be because i have both yours and their mod installed?
Yeah could be. if you have both mods they'll conflict as her mod and mine modify same tuning
Is it compatiable with bienchen's whimoverhaul? I would the extra slot without messing with the wants directly, is that possible?
Nope. Unfortunately this mod conflicts with that one
My sims in happy relationships keep getting the want to break up saying they have "fallen out of love". I know this was a game bug, but it has allegedly been fixed a couple of patches ago. Could this mod have something to do with why I am still getting it?
What a brilliant idea! Loving this, gonna feature it in my stream today :)
Thank you, I appreciate it so much🥰.
Is this compatible with MissyHissy's wants mods?
Nope, because we edit the same venue whimsets & tuning.
This is so in-depth and has clearly so much thought put into it that the sims team failed to add! You should be so proud of yourself ❤️
I'm very glad to hear that, it puts a big smile on my face!😄 Thank you so much for everything🥰.
