Easy Sentiment Cheats v1.0

It's finally here!

Easy Sentiment Cheats is a mod that enables you to easily add and remove every base game sentiment with additions for separate packs coming soon. 

Ever get tired of how complicated and somewhat ineffective sentiment cheats are, particularly in removing sentiments? Not only do you have to type the name of both Sims—which sometimes doesn’t even work—you have to remember the tuning name for every single sentiment, which means you have to constantly look each one up. On top of that, even if you remove a sentiment by typing all of that out, it doesn’t fully remove it!

Easy Sentiment Cheats fixes all of this. It allows players to easily assign sentiments through a pie menu which is divided into four categories, ensuring that adding a sentiment is only a few clicks away. ESC was made using only Base Game sentiments, so players without Snowy Escape can still use it!

Instructions

Once installed, go into the game, click on a Sim, and sort through the pie menu. You’ll see a pie menu called Sentiment Cheats. In that pie menu, you can either add or remove sentiments.  Every sentiment that comes with the base game is included within four pie menus: Positive Sentiments, Negative Sentiments, Positive Romantic Sentiments, and Negative Romantic Sentiments. Romantic sentiments have been sectioned off so that they aren’t added by mistake to family members and such. Pick whichever sentiment you want and your Sim will have it toward the Sim you have chosen.

How It Works

Every sentiment in the game comes with a unique relationship track—a relationship track is exactly what it sounds like; it tracks your relationship with another Sim. What each interaction does is set your relationship track for the chosen sentiment to 100. Because of that, you can only add sentiments to your Sim about another Sim. In other words, you cannot use this mod to give someone else a sentiment about your Sim. However, if that Sim is in your control, you can easily just select them and do that.

Every sentiment also comes with a relationship bit. This means that even if you use the cheat to remove a sentiment, the bit will still be there. The relationship track is what affects the moodlets your Sim gets, but the bit is what affects their autonomy. For example, a Sim with the Festering Grudge sentiment toward another Sim will get tense and angry moodlets. In addition, when they interact with that Sim, they’ll autonomously do mean actions. Once the track is set to -100, the moodlets will stop appearing, but one Sim won’t stop insulting the other until the bit is gone. Easy Sentiment Cheats accounts for this; if you remove a sentiment, it also removes the bit!

Caveats

There’s only one big caveat. Some sentiments simply cannot coexist. It’s well known that a Sim can only have one long-term sentiment, but they also cannot have conflicting sentiments. For example, if a Sim has Deeply in Love, it will conflict with Furious about Cheating; one will have to give way. As a general rule, positive sentiments subtract from negative ones and vice versa.

Even if they don’t outright conflict, sentiments of opposite polarity don’t like coexisting. A Sim in my daughter’s dorm has the Guilty sentiment toward her. She also has “Closer from Happy Memories”, which, when acquired, lessened the length of Guilty.

All of this is to say that if you have a Sim with negative sentiments and you add a positive one, you might need to add it three times before it fully registers. Such is the case for adding a sentiment like Deeply Connected when you have a Festering Grudge sentiment. Even if you do this, the bit will still be there, so running the cheat to remove it will be a good idea.

Also, a minor one: the menu will appear on your active Sim if you click on them. The options do nothing, but it appears.

Age Restrictions

Children cannot add romantic sentiments or have them added to them. They also cannot add “Open-Hearted” to teenagers and adults for obvious reasons.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed toddlers being able to add "Furious about Cheating" to adults. Definitely inappropriate, even if the sentiment didn't add.
• Fixed "Resentful about Divorce" not showing.
• Fixed "Closer after a Fun Party" not showing.
• Added removing every sentiment.

Installation

Unzip the .zip file and place both the .package file and the .ts4script file in your mods folder. Please note that you must have XML Injector for this mod to work correctly! If you have done these steps correctly, you’ll be good to go! :)

Compatibility

This mod’s code is completely new and does not change any in-game resources, so it shouldn’t conflict with anything!

Misc.

That's it! Sorry for the long wait everyone, lots of life stuff going on and, to be frank, procrastination. I put my mind to it for six hours. I had brain rot at the end so let me know if anything is amiss, but I've tested it and found no issues. Thanks for sticking around!

EDIT: For all the huss and fuss about this mod having every base game sentiment... I forgot Remove Adoring. Leave it to coding brain rot. Anyway, it's there now; if you already downloaded it, please download it again!

EDIT 2: And if you downloaded in the past 24 hours or so (as of 3/28) please download again... somehow the wrong file got uploaded... I apologize for the mix-up, seriously—I don't know how that happened.

EDIT 3: Updated with French translation by braville16!
