Upcoming Mods - August 2020 (Patreon)
Content
Hello all!
Here is what I am working on right now and will keep working on unless everyone unanimously tells me to drop it ;D
- Some sort of 'WooHoo Overhaul' Mod.
For the more adult crowds out there - even though yes, I think I will keep this as in-universe, 'Maxis Match' or PG as possible considering the topic at hands. This would basically be centered around birth control, health, and protection. I am vaguely aware there is something of the sort in WW (condoms and birth control), however I want to do it a little differently, and of course, as a standalone. This occurred to me in the context of making the 'No Strings Attached' mod. I am not too sure of myself on this in terms of whether or not it's features any player would want, so I'd love to hear your thoughts here.
- No more "Try for Baby" option. Normal WooHoo leads to pregnancy.
- A female Sim will be able to go to a doctor to talk about options and start hormonal birth control if wanted. There will be side effects to this occasionally. Prescriptions renew every month until stopped b the Sim. Every however long, the Sim will have to go see the doctor again to renew prescriptions for another year / half year / whatever I figure out.
- Any Sim will need to have protection (condoms or hormonal birth control) to not get pregnant or catch diseases (diseases will be potentially caught when using a 'random hookup' or 'online hookup' option (rabbit holes); additionally, some Sims in the world will have diseases; when dating a new Sim your Sim will be able to ask them to get tested / ask them about diseases; your Sim and them will go together. I'm thinking of making fake, Sim-style diseases - buf if you want the real ones that can be a thing as well). A Sim can purchase condoms on the computer or in person. If your Sim has nothing, but their partner has something, they are both protected. So your Sim will be able to ask the other if they have protection or birth control before starting to WooHoo... Sims will have little troubles with all this sometimes, and there will remain risks... Sims who want to get pregnant will have to first stop hormonal birth control or decide to stop using condoms. This is done through first discussing it with the Sim's partner.
- Sims can also get other little problems with WooHoo - we humans can get UTIs, yeast and other little horrors, I would like to make lighter, hopefully more humorous equivalents for our dear Sims.]
- A Moods mod:
I intend to add a few more moods to the game, as mentioned before. I may substitute some game moodlets for an equivalent in a new mood when I deem reasonable. Some game interactions will trigger some new moodlets in new moods. I will otherwise put these moods 'out there' for myself and other modders to use. I will create some interactions that trigger those moods. The moods I have in mind are 'tired', 'distracted', 'surprised', '(feeling) lazy', 'disgusted'. Patrons, is there any other mood or feature coming to you? Tell me and I will try to make it a reality :)
I am hoping to have finished at least one of these two mods (the moods or the WooHoo thing) within two weeks, maybe earlier...
- I will also attempt a 'Skills can decay' mod: not sure how doable this will be but I am optimistic.
- Still planning out a Teen Romance module to Road to Romance.
- All the while, per your requests (several of you Patrons asked), I am actively thinking about (ie trying to get ideas on how to do) some sort of attraction system.
I will not try to copy the existing systems because I do not feel that it is ethical to do so. In fact, I have never even played with them, except a little with thepancake1's Chemistry system, and know very little about them. I am trying to think up how I'd want it to be, and how I'd so it. I don't make promises, but this is definitely in my mind.
