Hi everyone! I created a mod that increases the amount of Simoleons earned when blackmailing a celebrity Sim or a Sim with a specific career! This mod also adds moodlets to the blackmailed Sim and the Sim doing the blackmailing and new notifications from the sim that was blackmailed.
I think it is more realistic for Sims to pay more money based on the prestige of their celebrity status or their career. I also think it is more realistic for the blackmailed sim or sim that has done the blackmailing to have a reaction with a moodlet.
📩 Increased Blackmail Payouts Based on Career and Celebrity Status
This mod changes the amount of Simoleons received based on specific careers or celebrity status of the Blackmailed Sim. This happens when Blackmailing Sims with the Listening Device, Snooping, and Wishing Well. The Sim blackmailing and the Sim that is being blackmailed will now also receive a moodlet.
Evil Sims will receive a unique moodlet from blackmailing Sims.
Friends will receive a unique moodlet when blackmailed.
🖤 Mod Features
New Blackmail Payout Amounts
New Moodlets for Blackmailed Sim
New Moodlets for Sim that is Blackmailing
New Notifications from Blackmailed Sims
Blackmailed and Blackmailer Sim can become enemies from Listening Device and Snooping
Luna has figured out why she's having trouble bonding with her sons. Luckily she has a wonderful wife whose constantly cheerful attitude can brighten the day. Her sons have definitely inherited Devin's drama skills.
TW Deals with postpartum depression
In this part Devin and Luna work on not putting too much on Luna's plate, too bad the twins can't understand the assignment. The boys are dramatic (they're teething who can blame them) and Devin completes her first movie gig as the star actress.
p.s. If you're wondering wtf some of the words they say are, and like google translate like I do, Devin is Italian, Luna is German, and the infants only speak garble atm
Postpartum depression. The reason Luna has been feeling like an inadequate mother, had trouble bonding with her sons and gets easily upset when the boys get over emotional. No depression is solved overnight but knowing what is affecting her will help her and her family cope with the speedbump.
Rilian: ba nu do
Alfred: *snores*
Rilian is awake first and annoyed Alfred is still sleeping. He spots the bigfoot toy and has a sulk about not reaching it.
Devin: Buongiorno caro
Rilian: ga la doo
Devin: Are you babbling? Well done Rilian
Scooping him up Devin begins feeding him while Alfred wakes
Alfred: *wails*
Luna: This is so dirty
Devin: When you finish do you want to feed Alfred
Luna: I don't know...
Alfred: *wails*
Devin: It might help to know you can soothe him
Luna: What if I make it worse
Devin: Trust me, you won't, he's already shrieking, can't get much worse
Luna: Okay then, milk
Luna: Good morning schnuki
Devin: You got it Lu
Luna: Are you hungry? Do you want some milk? I made this myself, I promise
Alfred: *guzzles*
Luna: He's actually drinking my milk
Devin: Magical right? Okay Riian let's-
Rilian: *spits up*
Devin: Oh dear watcher, please let that not be in my hair
Devin: Let's change this
Rilian: *cries*
Devin: Oh piccolo, that can't have been fun to get out
Luna: What do I do now
Devin: Over the shoulder and burp
Luna: Come on Alfred, lets get some air out
Alfred: *spits up*
Devin: At least your hair is tied back
Luna: Tell me where the wipes are please
Devin: Who's all ready for tasting time
Rilian: Ga boo mi
Devin: Want to swap and I'll do that diaper
Luna: No I should try
Devin: Amore mio, Rome wasn't born in a day
Luna: I know but how bad can-

Rilian: ca bo na boo *scoffs*
Devin: It looks like you love them! Well done being brave
Luna: Finally done
Devin: Good job Lu
Luna: How's Rilian
Devin: It seems he loves banana
Luna: Good

Luna: We're clean and Alfred is in his day outfit. We did pick pretty cute hats huh
Devin: You bet we did! They're so adorable!
Luna: Did I hear Rilian babble
Devin: Yes

Luna: Shush darlings, shush now
Devin: Mama won't do that again Rilian, promise
Alfred: *plays with food*
Devin: Thank the watcher he's settled
Luna: That crying because Rilian did... that was creepy
Rilian: *wails*
Luna: I didn't mean you were creepy
Devin: Calm down piccolo mio, you're okay
Rilian: *sniffles*
Luna: Mummy is sorry. Mummy loves you
Rilian: *smiles* ha la doo
Luna has a lecture she needs to prepare for so makes use of the hallway mirror. Meanwhile Devin puts both boys down in the lounge. They get themselves sleeping and she watches over their naps while knitting. Knitting helps focus her before heading to set.
Social media updates, check. Hair and make up, check. Costume, check. Practice lines till she's feeling confident AF, check. Devin is on set for Melodies of the City. It's her first movie gig and we're pretty excited about it. If she gets gold that will be her lifetime aspiration complete.
Devin: You're Levi right
Levi: In the flesh
Devin: I'm-
Levi: I know who you are, who do you think hired you
Devin: I just want to thank you so much for this opportunity
Levi: You've earned this. Your death in Residency of the Heart left me in tears
Devin: Really?
Levi: One of the best guest stars
Devin: That's so kind of you to say
Levi: I'm excited to have you on this
Pearl: Enough chatter, we have a schedule
Devin: Right, I'll just go eat then
Heading to the food Devin takes a moment to call and check in on Luna. It's a little hard to hear her over the noise on set but she sounds okay
Emily: What the-
Devin: I went to the toilet and when I went to put my costume back on it changed to this
Emily: Watcher help us
Devin: Oh gosh did I miss anything
Levi: You're right on time, we're about to start
Pearl: Places everyone!
Levi: You all have the skills... let's commit them to film!
It is raining inside and Devin is freaked out about what it will do to her hair, until she remembers she's in a wig. She tries to ignore the water and launches into the first dance sequence, tiktok eat your heart out! She has a few scenes with her first costar, launching herself fully in to the hug.
Next up, her first solo song. Despite her initial trouble finding the rhythm, she manages to keep on beat for the sequence.
Connor: Nice job
Devin: Aww schucks
Connor: They've made me blonde again
Devin: I saw, what's wrong with the brunette
Connor: Not leading man style I guess
Devin: Unbelieveable
After her first lot of scenes with Connor, Devin has another dance sequence to complete. It's a good thing she's confident as all eyes on set are on her! She follows the music, nails her moves, and throws in a few extra to be fancy. Dance achieved!
Connor: Ready to flirt up a storm
Devin: Born ready
ACTION
Devin and Connor begin the scene, infusing their characters with romance and chemistry. When it came to the kiss Devin took the lead, something she and Connor had decided would work earlier. From the claps in the studio, they were right.
Levi: That's a wrap everyone!
Devin: Must not forget the selfie
Connor: *sighs*
Devin: Cheer up. You were good in that
Connor: Why wont they let me be my natural colour
Devin: One day mate, now get in the frame
Connor: The lights are off
Devin: Who cares, we're documenting this achievement
The day is done and the results are in. Devin scores gold for her acting in this film. She has achieved her Master Actress aspiration!
Devin: Lu I did it
Luna: I knew you could
Devin: I just have to get out of costume then I'll be home
Luna: We can't wait to see you, can we *distant infant noises*
Following dinner it's more tasting time for the boys. Rilian likes carrot and Alfred loves it! Then I commit the worst crime, I feed them applesauce. They dislike it, I am an abomination! How did these boys get Devin's drama already? After the utter betrayal it's cuddles and time for bed.
Luna: Night night darlings
Devin: Time for sleep for you two and your floppy hair
Luna: Your ma came over
Devin: She did
Luna: She took the boys to the park while I studied, it was nice
Devin: That's good
Luna: Did you mention my-
Devin: I didn't, I wasn't sure if you wanted me to

As Krystle is working on editing some content she’s stockpiled for the next season, Roger announces he’s out front...
He just came back from a big meeting and Krystle’s never seen him in a suit and tie before...she had to snap some quick pics lol (also, before I had Krystle leave the fashion influencer career, I made a business suit outfit for masculine sims so they’ll walk around town looking like they have some business for once, and it’s a pleasant surprise everytime :))))) Yet, she was even more excited that he came by with news of his next art exhibition--in the art district of San Myshuno! Forget the freelance art requests and urban installments, it was time that his work, and that of other artists he believed in, be placed in contemporary museums.
He is ecstatic that his art and curations are spreading to the bigger city scene and the first thing Roger wanted to do was drive down to The Valley and share the big news with his future wifey. He couldn’t stay long because he had to be back to the city for another early morning meeting to finalize his picks, but Roger didn’t even know the extent to which Krystle appreciated his presence in that moment. Having experienced what she did with her ex, Porter Johnson, she was weary to call herself the significant other of another successful man in the industry, but this time was different. Roger came with his claim to fame and yet he wasn’t at all interested in making that a personality trait; it was more about his art and his connections with his loved ones and that resonates so well with Krystle’s being.
