🫂 Interact in Tight Spaces
Currently in testing phase
This mod allow Sims to interact in tighter spaces. It should work with most interactions that would normally require Sims to have some space around them (like hugging or kissing, and even slow dancing, no more going outside for that !).
The good part is that this mod is very simple and won't require updates, as it's only modifying the footprint of some invisible objects that are used to determine where Sims can interact (and make them move somewhere else if there is not enough room.)
Keep in mind that it might cause some clipping on objects around them for interactions with wide-ranging movements, but nothing really bad 🤗
📸 Photography Improvements
This mod consists on three files, that provide improvement to the photography experience in-game:
DISL_Photography_InstantPhotoPhone.package: Adds an interaction from your Sim phone to take photos instantly instead of waiting for an interaction to run.
DISL_Photography_OverrideZoomSize.ts4scrpt: No matter the camera (or phone) used, you will always have access to the zoom slider and the different picture size when taking a photo.
PhotoCamera.ini: Replaces a file in your game folder (The Sims 4\Game\Bin\res) to extend the zooming and the pitch of the camera (thanks to TheSandwichMeat on Reddit for the tip!)
Tip : save a view while in TAB mode using CRTL + 6/7/8 or 9, and when in photo mode, click on 6/7/8 or 9 to get back to this view - it also works with easels when painting from reference !
⚠️ Requires the XML Injector
💘 Less Randos on Cupid Corner
This mod limits the number of random Sims appearing on Cupid's Corner to focus mainly on the ones from your own save. You should have 5 Sims from your save (with a stronger chance of using played Sims) and 1 random sims (this sims should be from the Gallery if enabled).
As it's a little bit less than the initial number of potential matches, I reduced the cooldown to 8 hours.
I added an alternate version that removes the ridiculous fish and trophy poses, as they don't make sense in most cases.
Download: SimFileShare / SimFileShare (no Fish & Trophy poses)
🖼️ Background Replacements for Cupid Corner
A small overide that replaces the background used for randomly generated matches on Cupid Corner. I started that to remove the backgrounds related to Sixam & the Magic Realm, but I went overboard and finally decided to replace everything to feature lots & worlds I edited, and some lots from @simsontherope 😊
❤️🩹 Less Couples on Community Lots
Lovestruck features couples visiting a community lot, doing nothing but cuddling or romantic interactions, with two couples at a time, taking up space for more useful visitors using the lot's facilities.
With this mod, only one couple will visit at a time, and while they will still perform romantic interactions, they might do other stuff on the lot (ordering from the bar, playing games, doing spa activities, sing karaoke, etc.)
👔 No Outfit Change When Promoted
Currently in testing phase
If you are like me and you like to manually set-up the work attires of your sims, nothing is more frustrating than having to re-create the outfit after your sims get promoted.
I've taken my first steps into creating scripting mods to solve that ! This mod prevents work outfits to be modified when a Sim is promoted or demoted. Additionally, it provides some options to adjust the work outfit, available when clicking on a Sim under the Outfits > Work Outfit sub category:
Regenerate Work Outfit: recreate the work outfit(s) using the current level of the sims career(s)
Copy Accessories from Everyday: copies all the accessories (glasses, hats, jewelry, nails, rings, socks, bracelets...) from the 1st everyday outfit to the career outfit(s)
Modify in CAS: quick access to the sims.modify_career_outfit_in_cas cheat
Thanks to Scumbumbo for their work on the Outfit Tools that really helped me set this up, and Scripthoge for the injector that allow to replace existing scripts!
⚠️ Requires the XML Injector
Currently in testing phase
This kind of mod has been done and redone, but it often comes with a lot of options and features, and I wanted to make something way simpler. Using a hidden height slider (modified from a slider initially by simmythesim I had for a long time) and a custom script, this mod makes all teenagers slightly shorter.
Their height is set every time they spawn in the world and when they grow up, so there is nothing you configure (you can use the cheat "set_height_all_sims" when first loading your save, but it's not even necessary).
Note that the height is not applied directly in CAS, you need to have your Sim loaded in live mode for the first time for it to apply.
Thanks to discussions on those topics for teaching be about scripts and sliders 🤗
🍵 More options for the Bubble Tea counter
Sims can now order (and other sims will automatically order) coffee, tea, cupcakes & croissants at the Bubble Tea counter.
Requires High School Years, Snowy Escape & Get Together
⚠️ Requires Lot51 Core Library
🎙️ Sims Sessions stage made usable
You can now use the Sims Sessions Stage outside the event when placed on a lot: place instruments on it and Sims are able to route to the instruments, and others can listen. Of course, as band are not a thing, no chance they play in sync, but at least that can be used for screenshots 😬 You can even set some light effects!
To find the stage, ad it's not available on the catalog, you can find it in a room on my gallery under EA ID Down-InSimsland (the room is named Sims Sessions Stage) or here as a tray file.
