I needed this for my own game, so here’s a mod that scraps the stupid 25-35 personality point limit that the game uses for born-in-game sims and completely re-calculates baby’s personality upon birth with the following logic:
Each personality trait is randomly inherited from either of the parents (if the pregnancy was started through alien abduction the other parent’s personality is randomized)
Then the personality trait is randomized again so that it can be anything between two lower or two higher than the corresponding trait of the parent that it was inherited from
There’s no longer a limit for how many personality points babies can have so their personality point count can be anything between 0-50, based on the personalities of their parents
This leads to much more variety than with the original system. Baby’s zodiac sign will no longer match to their personality, though, as it’s going to be whatever it was set to before this mod re-calculated the personality. Tbh I have no idea how I could change it to the right one but I don’t see this as a bad thing myself as it adds a random element to the attraction system.
This mod also modifies plantbabies personalities so that their personality traits are no longer exact clones of their parent’s, but instead can be anything between one lower or one higher than the corresponding trait of the parent. Their zodiac signs were already randomized so no changes with that.
Download (SFS) - Midge’s Baby Last Name Chooser is incorporated, so if you already have it in your game make sure to remove it before adding this! This mod is compatible with twojeff’s Triplets & Quads, kestrellyn’s Name the Father, and Midge’s Birth Options as long as my mod loads after them. As always, let me know if you find anything wonky.
Credits to @midgethetree for the baby last name chooser and for very patiently helping me creating this mod. I’m just starting to learn modding myself so this wouldn’t have been possible without them.
Edit: This mod conflicts with InTeen, but @iwilleatyoualive made a version compatible with it that you can download from here! Just make sure that it loads after InTeen as well. Many thanks for the compatible version!
Edit2: This mod also conflicts with both Cyjon’s Plantbaby Changes and Almighty Hat’s G-Rated Religion mod. I made an edit of plantbaby changes that’s compatible with my mod, you can grab it from here. About the conflict with the religion mod, see this.
