Im not sure why.. But I have never had the option for the FWB to ask to become couple.. I have cheated their friendship to 90 and did more interactions afterwards.. but the ask to become couple is not working. I know before I didn't know it was an option, I had to have them end the relationship and start a real one. But I decided to go back through your mod description.. I seen it is an option.. But, its not working, nor has it ever worked for me.

Yay! This came at the perfect time for me! My played sim has a crush on a girl, but even with an almost full friendship bar, he can't seem to establish a romance; maybe this can be his answer!

My dreams finally come true! Thank you Lumpinou!

Evangelina Silvercloud

Wow, another fantastic mod. I'm really happy and will try it as soon as possible. Like I told you in another post your mods add so many new features to the game for more realism, fun and depth. Very well done, Lumpinou, very well done. Thanks!! ❤️

Talented modder! Thanks for this

This makes me wonder, since it pretty much introduces an entirely new relationship to the game, if it would be possible for you to one day create an 'unrequited love' mod? You know, where one sim would fall in love with the other and isn't sure if the feeling is mutual. Crushes, daydreaming about how they might confess, anxious about their response, and then to be able to somehow influence the 'chrushee's' reaction to a confession or having them find out some other way. Are they overjoyed, appalled, intrigued? Have they been mutually pining or friendzoned the other sim? The roleplay and drama options would be endless, I’ve always wanted something like this for the sims!

Unfortunately the game makes this, so far, impossible. In the Sims world it's impossible for two people to not like each other as much as the other does 😂 yeah, even if we were to use alternate relationship tracks. BUT this here lady (me) is perhaps a little crazy because I want to attempt it... I have a few ideas I absolutely want to put to the test. But there's chances it just can't be done 😂 because relationship tracks are always completely reciprocal. Buuuuut I went to try it. Perhaps with enough cleverness something can be done... This is the next thing I will work on once done with the Woohoo Wellness mod.

Your mod integrates so seamlessly into my game, I love it! It added much-needed depth to my gameplay and for that I'm grateful!

YourFalseHope

So, I'm going to be that guy. lol, This mod is extremely interesting to me, but I have to know what happens if you use certain mods that disable woohoo? Will this mod still work? I've wanted something like this for a long time.

lumpinou
>>42822142

Yes it will still work! This mod is its independent thinking woohoo wise. Worst thing that could happen is, the WooHoo interactions that apply to FWBs will disappear, but they can still do the stuff from WW for example. It's compatible with WW. Could be that the WooHoo interactions from the FWB menu don't even disappear. Now in WW I'm fairly sure romance points are not needed for two sims to do things together, so that won't be an issue with my mod blocking romance between them.

Thank you so much for this. I have some sims I wanted to be aromantic and before it felt like my options were to make them be unflirty. Which wasn't useful. It made it harder to build romance (and made them uncomfy with other people being romantic), but the still built it. The rest of my sims that I would want to have FWB arrangements, I've just been using polyamory cheats to disable jealousy and ending up with a bunch of high romance relationships, which wasn't ideal but I could live with. This will help clear that up, but seriously just, really really thank you for making something so I can have my sims be "yes sexual" but aromantic at the same time.

lumpinou
>>42891998

I'm glad my mod is solving that issue for you! That was kind of my thought, '' why is this not a thing yet? ' haha. By the way I'm adding a tiny update within the hour to add teen support too and making acceptance a little more likely

Would it be possible to add the ability for a Sim to be ok with their partner having a fwb without having one themselves?

Anonymous

Hey! Nice Mod. But do you have a german translation for it because it takes me soooo long to translate it on my own.

lumpinou
>>43166619

Not for now, sorry :( but I'm sure there will be one eventually... I may ask around if anyone who can would want to translate

Evangelina Silvercloud

Oh, vielen herzlichen Dank für deine Mühe. / Thank you soo much for all your work to give us the German translations.

Has this been updated?

Everytime I use the ask to be friends with benefits it crashes my game can this be updated? I would really love to use this mod!

trail_of_blood

Hi! I translated the mod into Russian. http://www.mediafire.com/file/98oac5u2mv4qjzc

It doesnt appear on my game

lumpinou
>>43591808

What do you mean? What doesn't appear? Did you try with several Sims? Are script mods enabled? Is the script file no deeper than one subfolder in the mod folder? If you shift + click on a sim with testing cheats enabled, do you see an option named 'make sim unable to fall for FWB'?

Tania

Hi! Since you have a mod for WooHoo diseases, can you make a mod where sims can be born with a disease and/or health condition and if they do certain things like exercising/working too much, or if they give birth, they could die?

Anonymous

Hi! My sims relationship have developed beyond 80 points but there is no "Ask to Become Couple" option. They are teens, is that why?

lumpinou
>>43766513

Hi! Perhaps I forgot to unlock that one for teens when I added teen support, I will check and let you know :)

lumpinou
>>43670997

That would be a completely different project, but I've been thinking about basically making a disease mega mod with all sorts of conditions... So I think your idea merges with that and I am taking it into consideration!

So with the new update, my female sim will not get pregnate at all if she woohoos through the FWB menu? Dang!! Pregnancy adds so much drama! Especially with all the other relationship and pregnancy mods I have.

lumpinou
>>44833597

They will if you have mods that enable Woohoo risk such as Woohoo Wellness, MC Woohoo etc :) But they were getting pregnant every time they Woohoo'd because of an error 😂

Freyya_

I can't find the friends with benefits menu, only the open love thingy :o Could you please help me, I think Im having a brain error today bc I know I found the option before xD

lumpinou
>>46090815

Open Love Life and No Strings Attached are two separate mods, no strings has the friends with benefits, open love has the other thing. The friends with benefits menu only appears with friends with benefits

my game crash every time i use this mod, no have duplical in my foldes

lumpinou
>>47656922

Does it crash without? There are a lot of Game crashes happening due to the new game patch, and not mods, are you sure that's not what's happening? Are you getting any errors?

Hi! My sims seem to be getting jealous even though they've entered a "friends with benefits" relationship. One of the sims already had a romantic relationship with the FWB partner. When they entered the FWB agreement the romance bar went into the red zone and the romance bar didn't disappear like in the other FWB relationship. I also was wondering if WW interations will still make Sims jealous if this mod is applied, or if those interations are protected by FWB as well.

lumpinou
>>48072823

Yeah the bar should go to 0. What was their exact relationship status when asking ans what is it now?

Anonymous

Hey! I'm not seeing either the Open Love Life Mod or FWB menu on my game at all. When I shift click (with testing cheats on) the option "make unable to fall for fwb" doesn't show up? Am I doing something wrong?

lumpinou
>>50399021

That moved with the other settings from the mod, under the 'actions' menu. 'ask to be friends with benefits' is in the romance section, if it's accepted then the FWB menu will appear between those Sims. Open love life has options in the romance menu as well, same way. I am making an update for open love life right now to add two more relationship types which I am finishing today, so if you are interested you may want to grab it again in a few days. Are your files no deeper than one subfolder in the mod folder and are script mods installed?

Is this mod working with the current patch? :)

Thank you!

hey this mod is showing up red with the mod detector is this okay?

hi! does this mod still work with the july patch?

Hey! So I’ve downloaded this mod into my game, but the xtra menu isn’t coming up. Is there something I have to do first that I’m missing?

Anonymous

Where are the download links? I've been searching for over an hour?!

lumpinou

This is due to conflicts with other mods, recently I've been told a mod does this but I can't recall what it was

I will love the add of it being autonomous!

lumpinou

I think it will make everything so crazy 😂 but I'm also looking forward to it

Hi! I'm can't seem to find a way to ask to start a Friends with Benefits action? Where can I find it? I can't seem to find it under Actions or Romance, but I do see a Friends with Benefits section under Actions to make the sim incapable of feeling jealous. But I can't find where to start the actual relationship. Thank you!

Anonymous

First of all a great mod! However, I appear to be racking up negative romance with some FWBs that I can't seem to get rid of, unless I resort to cheats. Is this intended?

Anonymous
>>72496359

Do all these apply: What Sims can ask another to be Friends with Benefits? To be able to ask, there must be a third of the friendship bar full between those Sims. Sims must also be adult (= Young Adult to Elder). A Sim can't make that offer to boyfriends/girlfriends and spouses. For some reason I also blocked it from ex-partners, I might change my mind later.

>>72496359

Hi! Yes, they are best friends, adults, and not dating in anyway. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong area? Do you know which menu I should find this option under? Thanks for the help!

lumpinou
>>72530471

Not really no - thing is it won't affect the FWB relationship anyway - I'll make it reset periodically in some update

Anonymous

Question - all the interactions asking other if they have other FWB mean that there is some autonomous NPC FWB asking, right? Or do you have to manually control some households/NPC sims for a while and engage them in such arrangement with someone? I think it'd be interesting to have some NPC FWB happening - maybe single, romantic sims could do that. Let me know ^^ Thanks!

Will this mod be updated? I am getting last exceptions for it.

It should not need updates nor should it cause errors. What do the exceptions say and when do you get them

You very likely have an infinite recursion problem. It's got nothing to do with my mods in themselves, but with having too many mods that inject things in the game the same way. You could verify that by launching the game with no mods except mine.

TriforceSims

Hi. At any point in the future are you planning to make this mod compatible with your LGBTQIA+ mod so that aro sims do not have the FWB level go up too high and "catch feelings"? I think that would make most sense ^_^

lumpinou
>>86746376

Several things in existing mod will have to be adjusted. This would likely be one of them. All takes a while :)

Hi! I know you are taking a long overdue break so I'm not expecting a reply anytime soon, I just wanted to post this while I'm playing and see a potential issue. I have two Sims who were FWB before the July 26th update and everything that came after. Tonight they interacted for the first time since then and when I select the "Gauge Relationship Development" option, nothing happens. I used to get a message that would pop up telling me what their relationship was and whether or not they were heading into the feelings danger zone, but as of right now I don't get anything. Not sure if this is an issue others are having or just me, and if you have any suggestions as to that might be the snafu?

Hello, I can't find the cheats interaction to make my sim unable to fall for her FWB nor changing the points of the relationship...
