Mod: School uniform variety

This is similar to my previous toga party mod, following the same tutorial by @rio-sims. With this mod, kids in private school will get the option to wear any of the uniform recolors (it's random). Effectively this only matters for girls because there are no additional colors of the boys' uniforms, but teen and child girls will "choose" from four options: the original blue uniform, the blue uniform with boots, and the green and red recolors. I'm also uploading a default replacement of the additional colors to un-townify them, so nobody will grow up into those uniforms (like the blue uniform which is by default not townified).

Horrible picture but you get the idea, I didn't fix the in-game camera settings...

Mod: Different chemistry

This is a mod that changes compatibility between sims. It's based on @bstu's No Aspiration Chemistry Penalty and @dreadpirate's Zodiac Mod. It's the same kind of mod as those, so you can only have one. (There may be others out there that I don't know about.) Thank you to both of them for their work.

The astrological component of my mod is identical to dreadpirate's, which is less arbitrary than the original Maxis chemistry. See that post for all the details on that.

What is different in my mod is the way the aspirations respond to each other. There were some aspects of Maxis' aspirational chemistry that didn't make sense to me. This mod makes the matchups more “logical” in MY opinion and I figured I might as well share it if anyone else wants to try it out. bstu's mod gets rid of aspirational incompatibility (so no aspirations repel each other) and preserves the original attractions. dreadpirate’s mod changes astrological chemistry and preserves Maxis’ aspirational chemistry. Here is how mine works in terms of aspirations:

Just like Maxis, all the aspirations are attracted to "themselves"--Romance/Romance, Family/Family, Fortune/Fortune, Popularity/Popularity, Knowledge/Knowledge, and Pleasure/Pleasure all have positive chemistry. I also kept the extra mega chemistry for Grilled Cheese/Grilled Cheese.

The following pairs are also mutually attracted: - Romance/Pleasure - their goals are mutually beneficial. They often both want the same things and rarely want opposing things. - Family/Grilled Cheese & Popularity/Grilled Cheese - Grilled Cheese sims want to feed people. Works out for the big crowds that will theoretically build around Family and Popularity sims.

The following are one-way attractions (neutral on the other side): - Family is attracted to Fortune. Family sims benefit from a Fortune partner who will provide materially while the Family sim focuses on their family. Fortune sims are neutral to Family. - Popularity is attracted to Family. Popularity sims like having lots of people around to befriend, so a big family is fun for them. Family sims are neutral to Popularity. - Popularity is attracted to Pleasure. Pleasure sims are attractive to Popularity because they are fun at parties. Pleasure sims' goals are only incidentally and not necessarily social or party-related, so they are neutral to Popularity.

There is one one-way repulsion: - Family is repelled by Knowledge. This was a major complaint of mine. I really don't understand why originally these two have positive chemistry. Knowledge sims frighten and disturb Family sims by seeking out risky and unsettling experiences that can wreak aspirational devastation on the Family sim. I considered making Knowledge sims also repelled by Family, like they are condescending to the Family sim's provincial lack of intellectual curiosity. But on the other hand, Knowledge sims do enjoy teaching, and generally want to foster their children's growth. So I've made them neutral to Family, since Family sims don't really do anything that "hurts" Knowledge sims.

The following are push/pull: - Fortune/Pleasure - Pleasure sims are attracted to Fortune sims, whose material success can fund a luxurious and pleasure-seeking lifestyle. But Fortune sims are repelled by the irresponsible, anti-work Pleasure sims. - Romance/Family - Romance sims are repelled by the conventionally domestic Family sim. But Family sims (being attuned to the body's reproductive capacity) are susceptible to the Romance sim's aura of sexual potential. This gives this pairing a little bit of justification, if you play with the premades (where this coupling is arguably somewhat overrepresented). Besides...whomst can resist ~*~*~*the drama*~*~*~?

All other pairings that I did not specify are neutral, so there aren’t any mutually repulsive couplings. A lot of the aspirations are simply “indifferent” to each other’s goals, rather than actually destructive. This doesn’t mean chemistry is overall easier...in some cases, it could give more weight to other types of incompatibility (like turn offs). It’s not more or less dynamic than Maxis chemistry, it’s just different.

So, installing this mod WILL alter the chemistry among your preexisting sims. bstu's mod includes a readme that will allow you to edit it to your own liking, if you want to shake things up but can't find a mod that precisely works for you. So big thanks and credit to bstu and dreadpirate.

Default facial hair: vandyke & goatee

Here are some replacements of base game uuface_goatee and uuface_vandyke using these mustache variations by AllenABQ.

Jsyk, confusingly, the "ring” beard (pictured on the left and best known as Don Lothario’s) is actually uuface_goatee, and the goatee beard without mustache (on the right and worn in game by Phineaus Furley) is actually uuface_vandyke.

And two af underwear with @rented-space Master Suite underwear. These are the black and blue sets which are originally categorized as both underwear and swimwear. I chose to replace them with underwear because there is already a lot more swimwear in the game. (So these defaults are not swimwear.)
