Storytelling Socials v1.2 [OUTDATED]
Added 2021-07-16 13:15:34 +0000 UTC
It's here! Storytelling Socials v1.2 is done.
There are 11 new interactions and they are as follows:
- Vent about Current Relationship: Sims who are in a bad or dull relationship (romance under 0) can vent to their friends about it! Their friend will be pretty bummed about it, though.
- Discuss Having Children: Married couples without children can discuss it! There are three outcomes: the target is somewhat receptive to it, the target is excited for it, and the target HATES the idea! Noncommittal and Hates Children Sims will ALWAYS hate the idea.
- Insult Meat-Eater: another interaction I added to make certain traits more weighty. Sims with the Vegetarian trait can insult any non-vegetarian. If it fails, they'll get annoyed—if it succeeds, they feel guilty.
- Mock for Social Anxiety: any Outgoing Sim can mock a Loner for their trait!
- Talk to About Sibling: ever have a Sim meet their sibling and hate them? Now you can talk to them about it! Any parent or caregiver can talk to a Child or Teen about their hated sibling. They will either be receptive, tense about it, or furious with the idea. This interaction always fails for Mean and Evil Sims.
- Tell about Recent Hook-up: This is for players with MC Command Center's No Strings Woohoo setting! If a Sim hooks up with another, they can tell their friends about it. This interaction may require Parenthood because of the animation it uses, but hopefully not! This also fails if the target is Unflirty or Proper (can you tell I discovered weights?).
- Say Fame is Affecting Relationship: ever had a relationship where one Sim is famous and the other isn't? Now the unfamous Sim can accuse the other of letting their fame get in the way!
- Affirm Love: Sometimes I'm playing Sims and I just get the urge to tell my friends "hey, I love you, you know that right?" Well now you can with friendship 90+!
- Have Vulnerable Conversation: Sims with four traits: Hot-Headed, Gloomy, Loner, and Jealous, can have a vulnerable late-night conversation with close friends about the difficulty of their lives.
- Blame for Sadness: Gloomy Sims can blame others for their sadness if they have the "Feeling Sad" buff! This has full Meaningful Stories integration, so it will appear if you have variable moodlets enabled with that mod!
- Scare with the Horrors of the Afterlife: Sims with a high séance skill can do this interaction, which will leave the target shaking with fear.
- There's also Tell About Divorce which is not actually new; I just forgot it in the last changelog. Whoops! Sims who have recently gotten divorced can tell their friends about it.
Other changes:
Confess Love for Best Friend is now treated as a life moment! Not only does the icon do this:

You will also get a notification:

I figured it was such a big moment that it deserved that much!
Also new: if “I Miss You” fails, the Target is disgusted:

Another: if one Sim, the Target, has the Deeply in Love Sentiment toward another Sim, the Actor, and the Actor uses "Tell About Engagement" on them, the Target gets this buff:

I also modified the following interactions:
- Roast: if the interaction succeeds, both Sims laugh. If it fails, the Actor is embarrassed and the target is angry. "Jeer", the animation it uses, doesn't actually come with a failure animation, so I figured this was necessary!
- Added responses to the success of Compliment Handiness
- Have a Heart-to-Heart also has responses
- Compare to Masterpiece now has responses
- Enthuse about Sims now will cause the Target to learn the Actor's Good trait. I also thought I had blacklisted the interaction for Evil Sims (meaning it couldn't be done on them) but apparently I didn't. Regardless, it will now fail if the TargetSim is Evil.
- Complain about Socialization will cause both the Target and Actor to learn the Loner trait of neither knows it.
- Ask about Death is no longer autonomous, nor is Philosophize
Installation:
- 1. Delete the old Storytelling Socials files from your Mods folder. This is important as I've changed the names of the files to help me troubleshoot.
- 2. Put the new files in your Mods folder not more than 1 folder deep.
- 3. Make sure you have XML injector!
- 4. Enjoy your day. Love you.
I think that's it for this version. Remember that you cannot use both the regular version and the reduced autonomy version! Enjoy!
