Patch Check
Hey everyone, sorry for the late post! I have had non-stop health issues for the past two weeks.
I've done some testing and it seems that none of my mods are broken. I think there are some mods that may need minor tuning updates, but nothing game breaking. Everything should be good for use! I still need to double check Longer Starlight Accolades but everything is is fine.
Sorry for the late notice!
2023-07-28 14:21:06 +0000 UTC View PostForever Entertained Reward Trait
Ever find it weird how there's a reward trait that prevents every need from decreasing except Fun? Well, I did: say hello to a new reward trait called Forever Entertained. It does exactly the same thing as Forever Full, Forever Fresh, and other suchlike traits except for the Fun need. Sims' Fun needs will never decrease.

Mod Updates
Hey! A few of my mods needed to be updated for the patch. Nothing is really broken broken, just updating interactions for the new pie menus.
Here, you can find all the package files. I've also replaced all of the outdated files on the original posts. Below are the following mods:
- Hug Lovingly for Best Friends and More: updated for pie menus.
- Storytelling Socials: new pie menu categories. The strings have been updated for the pronou... 2023-03-21 00:18:51 +0000 UTC View Post
Starlight Accolade Moodlet
I always thought it was odd that Sims don't get a buff when they get a Starlight Accolade. This small mod fixes that! Now when a Sim receives an award, they'll get the buff pictured above.

This mod modifies microphone_LoungeEvent_AcceptAward.InteractionTuning. For that reason, it does not conflict with LittleMsSam's
No Festival Texts
Hey! I'm alive! Here's a small mod from me: No Festival Texts. It stops NPCs from texting you and asking you to go to festivals with them. There are two flavors: the first one simply stops the texts. The second one, lazarusinashes_NoFestivalTexts_NoNotifications, also stops the notifications that appear in the top right. Only download one!

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 put them in your inventory. They now function the same as university degrees.
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 ridiculous Trendi outfits. I made this mod because one of my Sims is a war criminal in the story he's f...

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 be added to Sims any longer with this mod.

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, any Sim with the fear will no longer have it.

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.

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 with their friends and acquaintances.

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 Storytelling Socials and Easy Sentiment Cheats is gone.
So what does this mean?

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 following actions:

- Chatting with Sims

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!

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 simply “Rest in Peace.”
This is a string table mod, so it doesn't modify any tuning. It ...

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.

This edits the walkby_director for the University of Britechester map of the Britechester world. It basically just deletes the tuning lines responsible for scheduling the walk-b...

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 caused their conversation to end, which was infuriating.
So came this mod: it disables the fat cha...

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 nothing else pops up (such as balancing issues!). Please let me know if you encounter any issues!

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 of my mods should be fuctioning.

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

- Increased draw to fun by a tiny amount, though it's still less than normal

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.
