The Sims 4 Comfort Motive
In The Sims 1 and 2, Sims had a little thing called "Comfort". When they spent too long on their feet or doing strenuous activity, they would eventually decide they have had enough and refuse to do productive tasks that required standing. This made it much harder to grind craftables, grind skills, grind money making, grind collecting...essentially, it forced your sims to take breaks.
Sims 4 decided not to have this, and I'm here to solve that with a FULLY FEATURED BRAND NEW MOTIVE!
The Comfort Motive is a mod weeks in the making. And it is thick. I tried really hard to make this a fully featured "real" motive.
Sims will get progressively worse moodlets letting you know they need to take a break- something they can do in a wide variety of ways including Sitting, Sleeping, Napping, Relaxing, Sunbathing, Riding the Ferris Wheel, Meditating, Bathing- and offering severe consequences if they don't, by locking Sims out of performing THOUSANDS of interactions across EVERY pack- something that I had to curate by hand to ensure it makes sense! Everything a real motive has is here- Reward traits, visual indicators of distress, complaining sims, benefits for maxing it out, consequences for letting it drop, and even a failure state- Sims will automatically stop what they're doing when their comfort is low enough, and then, when it fails completely, will try to find a place to sit nearby! You can read a (somehow even longer) description with all the details on the mod page, including a (slightly outdated as I've made so many updates) video detailing the features.
