Warnings + The mod stuff :)

Thank you! I just read that section and will try surrogacy again!

ceblue

Yes they get paid when they send the child. If you are talking about the family tree, that is normal. If you are talking about the sim profile, that is not. Did you read the thing under 'issues and limitations' to find the debug options for when kids get stuck

Lumpinou

I absolutely love your mods! With the surrogate feature, I've not been able to send the child to the parents. I've aged them to a child and still cant send them back (don't even have an option to send them back). Also, is the surrogate supposed to get paid for carrying another sim's baby? Also, it shows my sims as being the surrogate child's mother.

There’s a bit of a problem with the ask to move out part, it isn’t working, how do I fix this?

Ashleigh Barry

Hi! Is custody an adoption if the parents never had romance? The choices aren’t popping up for me

Ambeeezzyyy

Hello, I hope all is well! I recently downloaded the update to your mod and added the optional custody folder as I had a couple who already divorced before I downloaded the update. When I do the instructions to separate amicably, the social interaction menu only shows a gavel icon with no text and the 2 other options, the greyed out one & the finalize divorce. How do I fix this?

Chamiya’s Corner

Yeah I saw it one of the times, but it doesn't appear all the time, i'm not sure why. Like rn both the kids are at the dad's and when I'm in the mom's game and click on her, that option isn't there, but the options of "call ex to ask for visit" and "call ex to send child to visit" are available instead

Manon B

There's an interaction called 'call to ask to get kids back early' or something like that, which I put to get them early and solve cases of things getting somehow stuck, do you see it?

Lumpinou

Hello! I'm playing with this new part of the module, had a couple with two daughters divorce, one kid lives with the dad, the other with the mom. Got the one who lives with the dad to visit the mom, but now she's not going back home automatically? The days have passed and I've tried loading up the dad's household to see if she'd transfer back at that point, but still not, do you know what I could do to make her go back to the dad without using the "move out of household" base game function? Thanks for your help!

Manon B

any idea on how to fix it

Skye Sutton

Probably installation issue

Lumpinou

hey i cant see the custody on my game any idea why

Skye Sutton

At this point they would need to talk to each other in person

Lumpinou

Hey! I'm playing through this module and my sims have started the divorce proceedings and have both been to see a lawyer but when I go back to the relationship wellness menu, there are no other options for either of them to complete the divorce or follow through with custody. How do I get to finalizing the divorce?

Tiara Hardy

No problem :)

Lumpinou

Oh. I feel so dumb right now. Never noticed it before. I'm so sorry!

Mendy

Been there since the beginning thereabouts... It could use a few improvements though haha

Lumpinou

Hi Lumpinou! Quick question. Did you add the Emergency Birth Controll Pill to this mod? 😶 I just noticed it 😁

Mendy

I don't understand the question. Go to the other parent and see if they can call

Lumpinou

Yes. Is that an option before ?

Minyon Barksdale

Did the Sims arrange for custody already? Have you tried with another household?

Lumpinou

I don’t have the calling option about custody in my game

Minyon Barksdale

Finalize is the last step, after arranging custody. Tell me more about the Sims involved

Lumpinou

I see everything from module 1-9 , I redid it a couple of times. I'm going to retry tonight when I get a chance to. To divorce I used the relationship wellness/makeup and break up option and selected divorce both angrily and civilly. Then i even tried to do it from actions/relationship wellness and divorce angrily came up so i did that and even then it didnt work. I just divorced them, no option. then i tried again and divorced then finalized divorce and same. Do i have to do anything extra, or will a pop up for custody show?

Brianna Fowler

First, do you see the rest of the options for this mod? If not, you have an installation or a game setting problem. Second, what did you use to divorce?

Lumpinou

I just installed every module for the first time. new family, moved them in and seperated, i restarted family and separated every way and still nothing.

Brianna Fowler

Did you fully switch out all files and what is the Sim's situation

Lumpinou

how can i get this to work? it still is only allowing me to divorce, no other options for custody or anything else?

Brianna Fowler

i dont have this option am i doing something wrong

Mocha

Under relationship wellness then make up break up is the option to call

Lumpinou

im truly confused about the phone call option i want to send my kid away but the only way is to call the dad over

Mocha

Hi, thank you for all you do. All your mods work fine in my game but the only thing I have a problem with is the teen pregnancy. For some reason my teen never gets pregnant even when I set the chance to 100%. I don't know if its because I have a conflicting mod or what because everything else works perfectly. I also don't have wonderful or wicked whims installed. Help plz? Again thank you for your mods.

Jessica Patcha

Hmm, strange

Lumpinou

House

Katy M

Where does your sim live and what other mods do you have that could impact pregnancy

Lumpinou

Hi! I am experiencing a possible glitch/error? I am not sure. My sim decided to have a baby via surrogate. The baby is ready, i have invited surrogate over, clicked the "Ask about pregnancy progress(already gave brith), I get the dialogue box saying the baby can now join my household but then nothing. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, removing all other mods, double checekd MCC was on 0% risk, and nothing is working. Help?

Katy M

Happy December! I hope you're doing well. Thank you for all the hard work you've put into your mods. You've put a lot of love into our community. I wanted to double-check for compatibility with one of Zero's mods. He has an autonomous breakup/autonomous divorce mod. It's got a bunch of conditions before it will fire - half romance for breakup, half romance/half friendship for divorce, has to have a negative sentiment, trait conditions. Do you know if these two will play well together? Here's his post with the mod, if that'll help: https://www.patreon.com/posts/bg-autonomous-up-52371553 Edit: He also has an "Ask for Divorce" mod that seems to duplicate some of this, so I'm assuming they don't play well together at all? Just want to make sure. Here's his post on that: https://www.patreon.com/posts/ir-divorce-32118547

Kristina

What was their relationship exactly?

Lumpinou

Ooh ok so once both the parents age to young adults do you think I can start the custody agreement or would I have to get married then divorce

Mocha

No not as of now. Teens are particular cases as it can be that a parent or grandparent, etc, will end up in charge and the current system can't support that so that's why. There'd need a different system for teens that takes into account their being potentially underage etc

Lumpinou

Does this mod only work for young adults and up? My teenager can’t do the custody thing with her child?

Mocha

You looked under 'relationship wellness'? What about in 'actions'?

Lumpinou

So I don't have the option for a phone call unless they live together, I tried moving him out but no visit option

Sarah Lunsford

They're supposed to not live together, did you try the phone call?

Lumpinou

I have 2 Sims that have custody agreed upon but can only request a visit when they live together.

Sarah Lunsford

cant wait to try thank you so much <3

Nina

Custody looks at various factors so nothing is impossible if other factors played in his favor vs hers. For the text, are you using a translation and if not, can you make sure you don't have any old files in

Lumpinou

Hi, I’m having an issue with the mod update. I can’t see text in the bubbles and somehow had the MC I’m playing lose custody of her son to the jobless father. Is this a glitch or did I not download something that was needed? I replaced all the files I had with the new one

Sarah Jackson

You can't just add the custody not as that's just one tiny part of the puzzle. You also need the 'divorcing' bit. If things aren't working out I advise leaving it be until I add a more easy cheat to make things retroactive... It's a bit of work but I'll do it

Lumpinou

Nicolette Hogue

Check the instructions file and follow the steps, if still stuck you can look up video or written tutorials on how to install Sims 4 mods, there is a bit of a process. If you have problems with a specific step, come back and ask for help :)

Lumpinou

hello i have joined patron just for this mod however i have been struggling with activating it or downloading it i have it downloaded and the mod settings on but it wont start up, this is my first mod any suggestions

sudenaz cont

I've replied to your previous message :)

Lumpinou

I think I tried to ask this earlier but not sure it posted since I can't find it now. First- thank you for your hard work and creativity! This is about compatibility of WHW with Wicked Whims and MCC /MC WooHoo. I apologize for asking about this, but I am a little confused. Do I need to remove module 2 (risk) if I am using WW (I did download the add on for WW)? I do see how to use the setting for risk with regard to MC WooHoo, if that module is in game. Thanks for your repsonse. For now, I have taken module 2 out, until I hear from you- thanks!

Sam D.

For this particular circumstance it would be a bit more complicated. I 'll probably try to put a big cheat interaction together very soon to allow retroactive use of things

Lumpinou

Hi! I too have a question. I have a couple who had a child together while boyfriend/girlfriend. They subsequently broke up and are both now married to other sims. and have both had children with their spouses. (When the couple broke up, I didn't have your mods yet so they broke up through the game.) Would your mod work for me in this scenario so they can make custody arrangements for the child they share? I tried adding the "permanently separated" bit along with the amicable bit, but no options for anything ever showed up, so I exiting the game without saving so the changes to the bits would not be saved. I was nervous that I was going to mess something up. To make it work, would I have to also add the "divorced" bit even though they were never actually married? Thank you in advance.

ChelleBelle716

You forgot to add the 'divorcing' bit. Then do custody assignments etc then remove it again. As for the other bits, I advise not messing with them. And now that you have it will probably prevent things from working even if you add the aforementioned bit. You would have to remove everything and start over. Bits are almost never the only piece of the puzzle with functions from my mods and adding / removing them is generally not enough to get things to do something. In this occasion I built it so that adding the divorcing one again so long as the permanentseparation one is there as well will enable to do custody assignments etc but nothing else must be touched with the bits. Honestly I might just throw in a full on cheat to have players go through the whole thing, I'll have to see how that would work, as I don't like users messing with bits as it often ends up badly

Lumpinou

Hi! I have a Sim who was divorced twice before I downloaded any of the WooHoo Wellness mod. He has a child with each of his ex-wives. I've tried using the custody system by adding the PermanentSeparation bit to his relationships with his ex-wives. For some reason, no option of the Make Up/Break Up section appears whatsoever. I've even tried adding the Trait_Separation_BrokenUpOrDivorced trait to the sims and still, nothing relating to the divorce or custody system appears. Eventually, after figuring out how to apply custody relationship bits to the Sims and child Sims, I can get the dad to ask his ex for their child to visit, etc. Or I can just make the Sims get married again and then separate them so I can use the divorce and custody system, but I don't want them to get married again. I would still like to use how the custody system was originally intended though and get lawyers and fight for custody, etc and not just get the end result, if that makes sense. I'm not sure if I'm doing any thing wrong or any other mod I have has clashed with this mod. I just don't know why it isn't working properly for me even after I added the PermanentSeparation bit, etc. Apart from this, the mod is great and I really enjoy it so thank you for all the hard work! I hope I explained my problem correctly.

Grace Burgess

Hmm that's unusual... Never happened to me. What's the lot like? How many people in the household? Was there an event ongoing? Did you try again and get the same result?

Lumpinou

Hello! I am a long time user of this mod and I love it so much, I just have a quick question. My sims are recently divorced, living in separate households, and the father got custody of the kids. I want the mom to have the kids for the weekend so I was him if I could have the kids. I picked to have them for two days and got the notification that my kid was coming over. A minute later, I got another notification saying that the father was going to pick them up in a min. My kids never showed up but the father did. Is there was a glitch or something I had done?

Jaylin Taylor

Have you decided custody yet?

Lumpinou

Thank you for this mod. I can't seem to find the phone option to send child for visitation. The parents live on separate lots.

Jasmine Williams

Condom use or not has no effect whatsoever on relationship through my mod. It's not coded in, in any way shape or form, and it would be a really strange thing to spontaneously happen. Do you use Wonderful whims? Is there another reason why these Sims may be losing love points during Woohoo? Custom traits to this effect perhaps?

Lumpinou

It's decided over various factors. I listed a few in response to the second or third comments on this post. . Drugs being part of another creator's work, my mod has no clue about them. O'ce things are more finished, I'll ask Base if I can use his stuff as criteria against.

Lumpinou

Just wanted to say thank you I’m having fun with this update! Is custody determined solely on income? I don’t see how my sims’ drug addicted mother got custody over the husband.

Makayla Derenoncourt

Hi, having a slight issue. Everytime my sims woohoo without a condom their relationship is negatively affected (tbh a couple times when they used a condom it happened as well, but not often so I figured that was just a glitch). I had one ask to stop using condoms, they both agreed to it, but it's still happening. Is this a setting I need to turn off? I don't want to get rid of this portion of the mod because I love all the paternity options but it's wrecking their relationship :(

britani ray

Well, the usual core files from Woohoo Wellness, and both current partial parts of module 10, all of which is included in the download on this page, so this is odd

Lumpinou

Is there a list of all the files I need for it to operate?

Blak Priide

Missing files would do that, other than that I have no idea

Lumpinou

I downloaded it but its not showing me any text, do you know what the problem could be? Thank you so much for all the effort you put on your mods

Blak Priide

I always love more options for children so definitely want them to be able to ask :)

Isabelle Haagensli

💢💥👋 EDIT: I updated with a fix on Nov. 30 Commenting my own post 😂 to let you all know there is an issue with bf/gf couples (as opposed to married) not getting all options, which I am working on fixing now. For married couples, I am not having any issue and testers didn't either. If you are having difficulty, please provide as much info as possible about the situation from the get go. Thank you! 💢💥👋

Lumpinou

So long as they have done a permanent separation it will work. If they don't, it won't, because it's a separation based system. So if they were bf / gf and split permanently through my mod (or alternatively have those markers loaded on manually and the cheats used to start custody), then they can do this. But if it's a situation of a couple together still who live apart, it won't fit in the current system. This could be adapted into another system for those cases

Lumpinou

Does custody only work for divorced parents or does it also work for parents who don't live in the same household and never got married?

Mun

In actions it's only for the 'cheat' version. What is your Sims's situation

Lumpinou

That would be when talking to the partner under 'relationship wellness.

Lumpinou

What can't you get to work? How did you install?

Lumpinou

I can't get it to work. Maybe its conflicting with my other mods.

Zenaida London

I don't have a option in action to discuss custody

Marta Rutkowska

I love this mod so much and I've been so looking forward to the custody feature but I must be doing something wrong because I can't get it working - I've had my Sims divorce and hired a divorce lawyer but can't find the option to discuss custody (it isn't there under the pie menu). Is there something I could be missing? Thank you so much!

srca

I don't have the words to tell you how awesome you are - every single mod you put out, I adore, and I could probably live without every single mod I have, except yours. You've changed the game, you're amazing, please don't overdo it and burn yourself out, we are not worthy.

Sophie

Thank you so much. I am currently playing the Pancake household they went to court and Bob got custody of their child. Loving the drama.

PassionateLibra

Thank you so much for your hard work, my sims will divorce more often now 😅

Chichi

The criteria are job and career level, real estate worth, money in the bank, lawyer level, family ties, and a few other things which I'm forgetting right now ; I haven't added yet trait impact but that will be added in in a few days (after the game patch has passed). I will re check tomorrow that it is set properly to recalculate for every child, as also getting custody of one child counts in the balance against getting custody of more if the finances etc are too strained for that. But the mansion and the bank money sound like they may well have done it! I think I may do well to also add a chance factor? Like, a little chance factor as would happen in real life as in, justice isn't always a precise calculation. And I should do that for adoption too I think.

Lumpinou

I couldn't find this info in the posts so I apologize if I glanced over it. What goes into deciding custody? I just had a sim divorce, four children involved, and she won all four children with no job. She's got $300,000 in the bank and a mansion unlike the ex-husband, but I was surprised she got all of them! :)

Samantha Coville

Thank you so much for all you do

Sarah Powell

This is incredible! WHW & this module have become absolutely essential to my gameplay, so thank you for always working so hard on these mods! ♥
