3. New Update to WooHoo Wellness & Pregnancy Overhaul
I have updated the mod with new features today - a Cheating Module.
The Cheating module: what is it?
It is, in part, completely new stuff, and in part a big re-design of my old Cheating Module from Contextual Social Interactions (that Cheating Module was the very first mod I ever made).
It will work hand in hand with another module, the Romantic Trust System.
IF YOU USE MY CHEATING MODULE FROM CONTEXTUAL SOCIAL INTERACTIONS : YOU MUST DELETE IT!!! This takes over and replaces its elements.
A. Replacing the Game Sentiment System for Cheating
In vanilla game, a Sim witnessing flirting will get the exact same sentiment as a Sim witnessing WooHoo. There are two possible ones the game will choose from in any of those cases, "Betrayed by Cheating" or "Furious about Cheating".
Would it not make more sense if the reaction depended on what was seen?
So, I changed the system. Now, those two game sentiments will be given exclusively when WooHoo has been witnessed or confessed to (through this mod). The rest of the time, custom sentiments fitting the situation are given,see them below:
B. Interactions and Other Features
Interactions regarding what happened will depend on whether it was only kissing / flirting / loving another that was witnessed or confessed to, or whether it was WooHoo.
Here is a video showing what happens when it's flirting that has occurred. Screenshots below if you're short on time.

(MORE reasons will be added shortly!)

Sims can also always "Confess to Loving Another" (if love exists but WooHoo did not happen) and "Confess to Having Cheated With" (if WooHoo occurred, with or without love). This leads to Pop-Up windows where Sims need to decide to stay or leave (unless you turn off the pop up window, which you can!)
Confessions impact the Sim who cheated, the Sim they cheated with, and the Sim confessed to, in terms of friendship / romance bars and of sentiments.
Sims can also decide to end affairs via text by themselves, and partners may ask them to do that after learning of cheating.
Note about Choice Pop-Up Windows (leave or stay, etc)
Those are Optional, meaning, you can turn them off for specific Sims or Households, and then the outcome will be chosen by chance. This is also true of the window that pops up when a teen announces a pregnancy to their parents.
Note about Separating of the Cheating Module & Romantic Trust System
At first, I was going to put Cheating and Trust System together. But I decided it is better if they can work independently, and this way both can be completely optional. They will impact each other, but not require each other to be used in game. The Romantic Trust system is still upcoming but is getting closer and closer to being ready.

Lots of work left for the WooHoo Wellness & Pregnancy Overhaul mod to have all the modules I wish for it - but we've come a long way still since August! :)

My best wishes of health, safety and comfort to all of you.
With Love,
