LiveDrag and Inventory Enabled for High School Diplomas

You know what's annoying? If your HS graduate leaves the household after aging up, moving their diploma to their new household is a nightmarish process. Thus came this small tuning mod, which enables LiveDrag—the ability to drag them in Live mode—for HS Diplomas and enables you to ...

Trendi Situation Outfits for NeverPlayed NPCs Only

Fine, I admit it! I'm not retired! But I am retired from Patreon Early Access modding.

Anyway, here's a small mod: Trendi Situation Outfits for NeverPlayed Sims. Basically, this mod ensures that only Sims who have never been played at any point show up in the rid...

No "Fear of a Dead-end Job"

I picked your career; don't whine about it! Another mod in a similar vein as my No "Fear of Unfulfilled Dreams:" No Fear of a Dead-end Job completely disables this fear, removes it from any Sims who have it, and blacklists the sad buff you get upon return for all Sims.  It cannot ...

No "Fear of Unfulfilled Dreams"

I can't be the only one annoyed that Sims whine if you don't do their wants. I am the God of your world, obey me. Thus this mod, No Fear of Unfulfilled Dreams, came to be. This mod completely prevents the fear from being added through several different avenues. If you have this mod, an...

Mod Status

Storytelling Socials, Storytelling Socials: Dark Addon, Easy Sentiment Cheats, and Better Autonomy are all compatible with the latest patch (8/30/22). So all of my big mods.

My last mod, NoFlirtyWantsFriends, is also compatible.

No Flirty Wants for Friends and Acquaintances

Surprise! A simple mod from me. I was playing Sims last night and one of my Sims, who I love dearly, got a want to flirt with an acquaintance. The problem? She's engaged. I don't love the implication that my Sim wants to cheat on her fiancée. 

NoFlirtyWantsFriends removes all flirty wants from friends and acquaintances, meaning Sims will no longer get wants to flirt...

Announcement

Hey everyone! I’m here to announce my retirement from modding.

To get one thing out of the gate, I was planning to do this before the new guidelines; the guidelines were just the nail in the coffin.. Modding has just become a source of stress for me if it isn’t a simple mod, and the passion I once had that inspired me to churn out mods like Storytelli...

No Constant Phone

I swore I would mod out the constant phone use the second I saw it on the livestream. Here it is! No Constant Phone disables phone use when routing, chatting, and watching. In other words, it prevents Sims from using their phone when doing the followin...

Mod Updates — 7/26/22

I'm still going through the tuning but it seems most of my mods escaped unscathed. I have two mods that needed updating: 

• Hug Lovingly for Best Friends and More
• Force To Restored

You can grab both updates below. I don't see anything that needs updating besides that. If you notice anything, please do report it!

No Flippant Tombstones

This is a simple string mod that does away with two flippant tombstone placeholders, "I told you it wouldn't work," and "Rest in Pieces," because the last thing I want to see when Sims I'm attached to die is either of these. The former has been changed to “Passed on,” and the latter is now sim...

Storytelling Socials v1.7

Storytelling Socials v1.6 is live! Storytelling Socials is an expansive mod that adds 60+ interactions with an emphasis on storytelling. Roast your friends! Stick it to a bad parent! Call your ex inferior to your current partner! In this update, there are 12 new intera...

No University of Britechester Ghosts

This is a simple tuning mod that disables ghost walk-bys for the University of Britechester. I hate occults, including ghosts, so it got pretty annoying to have them walking about.

Technical stuff

This edits the walkby_director for the University of Britechester map of the ...

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, parti...

No Fat Change Reaction

I have MC Command Center's Freeze Physique Flag on every one of my played Sims. I can't be bothered having them work out every time they eat, even if they only eat when they're hungry. The consequence, however, was my heir, Laura, stood up after every meal and reacted to her fat change twice. This caus...

No Witness Crass Act

This mod disables unflirty Sims reacting to other Sims flirting and hugging. It also disables the accompanying buff. Really annoying to deal with; they stop what they're doing just do to this stupid reaction. 

Technical Stuff

This mod edits the broadcaster file—an XM...

Better Autonomy v1.0

This is v1.0 of Better Autonomy, a mod that re-balances Sims' autonomous behavior to make it less grating. Sims will be more likely to clean, work, and socialize and less likely to waste time watching TV, playing Chess, and other things of that nature. 

This should be the final version if no...

"Beginning" of the Month Update: January 2022

Hello patrons! Sorry I've been away. I've been in an extended stay for the better part of five months or something like that. During that time a lot of stuff happened (depression, writing, etc.) but we're all moved into the new house now so things should be returning to normal very soon.

I do not have my desk or anything like that so it's kind of impossible to play Sims right now. But all...

Better Autonomy Gamma

Whew, sorry for the late update on this one!

In short, I've fine-tuned much of the changes I've made. They are as follows:

• Reduced draw to socialization so Sims don't stand around talking instead of working out, dancing at the club, etc.
• Increased draw to fun by a tiny amount...

End of Month "Update:" November 2021

Hey everyone. Sorry I haven't been on here much for the past few months. 

Truth be told, I haven't been working on anything. I've been dealing with the nastiest depression I've had in a while. I haven't been writing much either as a result.

My mods should be fine for the update. I've been playing it for a bit and haven't noticed any issues, but of course report them if you come...

Storytelling Socials v1.5

Storytelling Socials v1.5 is here! Storytelling Socials is an expansive mod that adds over 60+ interactions with an emphasis on storytelling. This update focused on family interactions, though it is rather small. I wanted more interactions, but life got in the way.

In any event, the new interacti...

End of the Month Update: September 2021

Hello patrons! Here's what I've been working on:

Storytelling Socials

This will probably be out next month. I was hoping to at least get Early Access out at the end of this one, but it doesn't look like I'm going to make it. Here are the new interactions aforementioned interactions will have no description):

• Call a Freeloader
• Express Co...

Better Autonomy Beta Crucial Update

Hey all, here's a fix for Better Autonomy for some bugs I've been seeing. Namely, that Sims focus on socializing so much they don't do anything else.

At first, I was confused about this because it doesn't happen in my game. It wasn't until I remember that I turned autonomy off for NPC introductio...

Patch 1.79.93

All of my big mods are compatible with the new patch:

• Storytelling Socials
• Easy Sentiment Cheats
• Better Autonomy

Beginning of the Month Update: September 2021

What a stressful month it's been for me. Long story short, still don't have a house, our current house might not be closing, royalties from books have run out—lots of stress! But during this time, having this Patreon and having you all helps tremendously. So thank you. 

Anyway, here's what I've been working on:

Storytelling Socials

I have a few new inte...
