Hello 2021 + Mod Updates (Patreon)

Hello everyone and thanks for being here! 

Here are some notes on recent mod updates.

_____________________________________________________

- Open Love Life - re-Update to v1.1 

- Re-uploading now that the mysterious LE some people got at loading has been eradicated. This update adds 2 relationship types: exclusive couples of 3, and partner-approved side lover.

- ROAD TO ROMANCE

- Added interaction 'Make out for a While" starting at skill level 5. The same as the "Make out" interaction in game, but longer. More little 'additions' like this to be expected soon.
- Toned down autonomy on interactions that  trigger the affectionate mood; also made moodlets not appear each time  from these interactions, but more occasionally.
- A few Performance Improvements :)
- Removed negative  moodlets for teens that would show up due to 'low skill' even though  teens don't have access to the Romance skill. They're still waiting for  their own Romance Skill module, which will come! So many mods to make / update, and so little time! Days should be 48 hours!

- WooHoo Wellness & Pregnancy Overhaul, v2.15 (early release)

January 3rd: Bug Fixes

December 31:

- Improved and expanded the cheating sentiment system of the cheating module.

Remember, the cheating module changed the game's system for cheating sentiments, making it so that Sim don't get the same sentiment from witnessing WooHoo or witnessing flirting.

Now, I have further developed this system, as I have found more things in the game that in my opinion needed tweaking. Details below.

A. Expanding Sentiment situations. The vanilla game does not give cheating sentiments to Sims if the Sim cheating is doing it with a boyfriend / girlfriend / spouse, because of the technical conundrum that is the jealousy system of the game. It took me till now to figure that out since I was doing all my tests between married couples. The mod now changes the vanilla game behavior, so if a Sim has two girlfriends in secret and one catches him with the other, they'll be able to get the cheating sentiments - and the cheating-related interactions.

B. Expanding who can get a sentiment from witnessing kissing and flirting - therefore expanding who gets interactions from the cheating module.

In the vanilla game, Sims who are Soulmates but NOT gf / bf / spouse seeing their soulmate flirt / kiss another will not get a sentiment. Now they will get a minor, short cheating sentiment.

In the vanilla game, Sims who are under the Soulmate level but have a positive romance bar, and are not married, may get no sentiment from witnessing flirting. Now they can get a minor, short cheating sentiment.

Sims between 30 and 50 romance still have a good chance of not getting a cheating sentiment upon witnessing flirting as they just don't care enough for that.

C. Changed duration of cheating sentiments. I left the game ones alone - but shortened the 'flirting' one from my cheating module, as well as the 'kissing' one (longer that the 'flirting' one still). Both of those are shorter than the game's cheating sentiments. This makes sense to me because the faults are different levels of betrayal.

- Added an option to get birth control directly from the sim menu, since too many people skipped reading the mod instructions and therefore couldn't figure out that it's in the Computer 'order' menu ;)

- Fixed issue of paternity leave not showing (Jan. 2)

A NOTE about the WHW cheating module: 

- Some users are having cheating confessions not work properly, ie, not give the reactions / relationship loss / Pop-up windows & Sentiments. This is utterly mysterious to me. For all testers and myself, everything works perfectly all of the time, no exceptions.
Until enough people who have that issue provide me with enough details that something starts to make sense, I don't know what to tell them other than, turn off pop-ups for that household, then it works, but then your sims might just decide to divorce, so. The mod is built properly, so, I don't understand this so far. Please provide info if it happens in your game.

Best,
Lumpinou
