Testers Wanted: Attraction replacement for Mac Users

I received a request from @buduwie asking whether I could make my attraction mod more Mac-friendly. So I have this mod to share. Since the last testing (around May, I think), it seems to be working, but both buduwie and I ran into an issue that I wasn't able to fix. I've explained the issue in detail and what's included in the download after the README section.

Another note: it uses my attraction replacement mod that I shared, but I edited out any checks for expansion packs that Mac users don't have, so that you won't be hit with errors.

hi im another anon, but i noticed you have an edited version of the date-outing mod by simler90 and i was wondering what is it that you've edited? would you mind sharing your version? thank you!

Hey anon,

So I had to download the original mod to compare, since I honestly forgot. But it turns out my edit is just a super small edit:

I changed the maximum distance a date will be from "the leader" from 200 to 1500 tiles. It now matches the same as an outing distance.

It's such a small edit that I don't believe it needs to be shared, so I didn't. If you still want this small edit tho, please reach out again and I'll update this post with a download link.

Hi! I have a question regarding your RS compatible ACR edit :) I'm not sure if I understand it correctly, but does your edit remove the Flirt/Hug/Kiss socials under the Casual menu? Because I don't have them when I put your edit of the main controller in (I do have the socials in my folder btw) and I can only see the Woohoo options and no other social interactions. Is this intended or could it be a conflict? Thank you in advance!

Heya anon,

I used the tutorial by Midgethetree to edit the ACR to only allow the woohoo functions to work, so yes, those socials stop working if you use my edit. This was done so that you would be able to use Romantic Standards by simler90 with ACR auto woohoo function together without issues. Honestly, it's been so many years since I posted my edit that nowadays you don't really need my edit any longer.

As long as you use midgethetree's edited romantic standards version, you can use the original, unedited version of ACR. It's what I currently use in my game, as shown below (plus some extra mods from other creators):

You can also go and use simler90's romantic standards and the auto socials they made for the mod, that let's your sims auto woohoo too

The only downside is that only using simler90's mod makes you lose the ability to control your sim's fertility and other settings that ACR provided.

Just coming here to say your cc is amazing!

I think about 80 percent of my hairs are from you now lol

Aww thank you for taking the time to tell me this and I sure do believe you with the notification I got hehe.

You've also reminded me that I should really get to work on those hairs that's in my project folder but I just don't have time lately 😅

Hopefully I'll have more to share soon!

heya! I am using your newest calculator, which I absolutely adore, but I had a question about it. when picking the aspiration and secondary aspiration, do you need to pick from the first two options in the subtype results or from the results of the aspiration? like is there some rule for it, because I want to make sure I am using it the way its intended to. thank you!!!!

Hey anon,

So compared to my older sheet, this time I wanted to make the sheet in a way that you gain more freedom to pick and choose your sim's aspirations.

So, for example, you can decide to give your sim's primary and secondary based on top 1 & 2 results from Sub-type or Aspiration charts.

Or you can also do what I'm currently doing. Which is to look at the high-score results and base my choice on that.

These chart results are for Brandi Broke, so looking at this chart has Shady Opportunist, Heartbreaker, Life Of The Party, Popularity, Pleasure, Romance and Grilled Cheese as her highest score results.

So based on these results, she leaning as the type to want to have some fun, and maybe the loss of Skip made her miss a romantic partner (nothing serious yet it seems). And due to having young kids to care for, she'll worry about money. So maybe she doesn't mind Dustin's type of career, since it's bringing in the money. So I would give her Pleasure as primary aspiration and Fortune as secondary. Or if I still want to keep her default family aspiration, I would go Pleasure / Family. Her result is giving more of a party girl vibe, so family has become something more secondary, in terms of her wants, for now.

But again, it's up to you, on which method you prefer to decide your sim's aspirations.

hi!! i'm obsessed with your version of turn off replacement mod and how big of a role traits play in it. i'm dying to have it in my game! would you ever consider making it mac/super collection friendly? thank youu!!

Hey buduwie,

To make it mac friendly I would need to take out only the Free Time and Apartment Life EPs features right? Since you never got those for the Mac.

So I took those out and now I just need you to test them out for me since I can't, download. DM me if you face any issue, but you shouldn't have any since all I did was delete the EPs bhavs that your Mac wouldn't be able to process.

hiii i'm really sorry to bother you but i found your edit of the premades that has also the kim family and i wanted to download the file but it doesn't work, there's written .xml before the .zip and i can't uncompress it and i just wanted to let you know so you could fix it, thanks in advance if you do <3

I was facing issues too while trying to download it. So I deleted the old one and reupload it again. Please tell me if you got it working this time. Here's the post, for easy access to the download link.

#abookinmemoryy #ask mail

Hi, would you be willing to release your updated aspiration calculator and trait calculator spreadsheet with all the extra things removed please? I just want the aspiration and trait calculators, everything else is just too complicated for me. I tried to edit it myself to remove the extra features but it breaks the spreadsheet unfortunately:( thank you for reading, and I appreciate everything you make!

Hey Anon,

I have a sheet that only has calculations, but it wasn't ready yet since I still need to polish it up and I was planning to release this once my updated aspiration sheet was finished up as well.

The formula all works, and if you don't mind how untidy it looks then I'll open it up to the public here.

#Anonymous #ask mail

Would you be willing to do a version of the Kim family that has one or both of the parents edited slightly so Justin can look a bit more like his original self, kind of like you did for Gvaudoin?

I actually did make an edit on the Kim family for my own use, but I never bothered to share it. Not sure you'll like it since I only blended in Justin Kim original face features just a tad on Robert Kim.

You can find the option to download them on my personal premade edits post.

#Anonymous #ask mail #sims 2: download

Hi! I asked about the crop bow top a while back, thank you so much for the response and even editing the post! Unfortunately the download link seems to be borked... When I try to download it gives a 403: Forbidden error and says the page "might have a temporary problem or might have moved". I've been checking periodically since you updated it and it hasn't worked yet, and other SFS links are working. Sorry to bother, just thought I would let you know and see if you have any ideas :) Thanks again

Hey again Anon,

So I'm facing the same issue as you, where other SFS CCs I downloaded went fine, but for some reason my Christmas 2017 download link kept giving me errors when I try to download it. I tried updating my SFS zip file but it kept throwing the same error. Till I can get it fixed, I uploaded a temporary download that is linked to my google drive. I also have a back up in Simblr so you can also download it over there, if you prefer that option. All my other downloads are also on Simblr, as back-ups, so if you face any issues with SFS I would recommend you go there instead.

Good afternoon/Good evening, Miss Simgigglegirl!

I have a question for you, regarding the "Genetically Correct" mods.

After downloading, should I put them in "Downloads" folder or in another folder?

For example, I want to play with Clean Template of Belladonna Cove with the other neighborhoods as subhoods, with all premades having their correct genetics.

I apologise for writing in a "chaotic" way, but English is not my first language.

I wish you a pleasant day/evening, Miss Simgigglegirl!

Hello Anon, no worries I understood you just fine :)

No my Genetically Correct sims aren't mods. Depending which version of the download you got, they're either sim package files that you place in your SavedSims folder or they're folders (N001, N002,... ect) with files inside that need to be placed in the following:

Program Files\EA Games\The Sims 2 Open For Business\TSData\Res\NeighbourhoodTemplate folder. Or Program Files\Origin Games\The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection\Best of Business\EP3\TSData\Res\NeighborhoodTemplate folder.

And you can find my subhood version to in the Main post that I made here. Mac option is found here.

If your still confused about how to install them, I would recommend searching "Sims 2 How to install neighbourhood" in your first language. It's what I recommended my cousin, who was still confused with my broken portuguese, on how to use my folders. Hopefully this helped you out.

hi! wanted to double check if your turn on/off replacements conflict with perfume as sunblock mods? (specifically midge's https://midgethetree.tumblr.com/post/182754309904/vampire-motive-decay-mods)

Hey d-i-w-a,

No, they won't conflict. I know they won't because I have that mod in my game with my own turn-on replacement mod and haven't had any issues. So your good to go :)

Hello! I stumbled on your mesh edits in your Christmas gift from a long time ago, (post 169128412540) and I was really wanting to download the Crop Bow Top, but it seems the link for the textures no longer works :/ I was wondering what the best way to try to find those again might be? Thank you in advance!

I happened to have backups of the Nintendolover13's files that you were missing so I've updated the download to now include the files you needed, in order to use the repo textures version.

Quick link to that post you mentioned below, so that you can redownload it without needing to scroll my simblr to find it again :)

Ho ho ho! Merry Christmas! Even tho I’m late I’m still gonna pretend it’s Christmas right now I’ve stopped my retexturing hairs a bit to up

Hello! I've been playing with your ACR edit and Midge's RS in a dorm save. there are multiple couples in the dorm, but only one couple would casually woohoo, and it took me a while to realize that it's because they were the only one with a double bed. there are multiple couches in the dorm but no couple is ever pushed to casually use it despite being in love with 100 LTR. Is this the intended behavior of your ACR edit, or do I have a mod conflict?

The issue you are having with ACR has more to do with its auto sofa checks before allowing such an interaction to happen. I've had these very issues with ACR for years now, way before I edited it. I only ever saw it working with sims that lives alone. And reading the ACR sofa social BHAV, it starts to make sense why that's the case.

[Just a quick notice, my BHAV reading skills are still in the learning phase so there is a small chance I might be wrong on how the sofa checks fully work.]

inside ACR - Controller - SofaSocials, there is a BHAV that will perform a check on whether or not there is a sim (or sims) nearby the sofa that the couple might want to use as their auto woohoo spot. So if there are any, then their chance of automatically doing it on the sofa is lowered. Chances won't be too decreased if the sim(s) are sleeping or aren't close to the sofa (in the same room). Servo are also included in those checks but if they're broken down, you get a pass.

So if the sofas in your dorm are all placed in areas that has students passing by, never giving your sims a chance of privacy, then that would explains why you haven't seen your other couples using them.

This is the anon who asked about the ACR edit, thank you so much for incorporating both DeeDee and Epi's work!! you're a godsend <3 Should I still keep the ACR - Social - Flirt and Kiss files with your ACR v2?

Hey again Anon!

Yeah, you can keep the ACR - Social - Flirt and Kiss and any other ACR files from v2. You only need "ACR_Controller_Main" to be overridden, since that is the only file I made the changes on.

The reason my downloads has the other files in the folder is for the users that might need them, or never downloaded ACR until now.

#Anonymous #ask mail

Hi there, I love the mods you've made and they've made such an impact on my gaming experience! I wanted to ask if your ACR edit incorporates DeeDee's No Bi Gender Decrease for the main controller file?

Hey Anon, glad to hear that you like the CCs I've shared so far 😊

So my ACR edit doesn't include the fix DeeDee made but since it's really simple to transfer over the bhav files she edited, I updated my ACR edit to incorporate DeeDee's fix and, if you want it, I've also included Epi's fix as well.

Pick only one option to be your main - Alternate
