Content
Early Access. Public release currently set for April 15.
* I strongly recommend to BACKUP YOUR SAVES before installing.
Milestones are new, and milestone mods even newer.
Although we have been investigating them for over a week, and testing this particular mod for several days, I like to play it safe, and that is why I suggest that you backup your saves just in case there’s still something strange about custom milestones that no modder has discovered yet.
* as always with new mods: please report any issues so I can fix it!! :)
March 28: Added cheat to Add milestones. NO removal possible atm.
________________
It's a new mod.
As always with new mods, expect quick updates once issues arise and I fix them.
All the testing we can do in small group never manages to catch all the things larger-group playing catches.
IF THAT ANNOYS YOU, please wait a few days before downloading, I understand.
- This mod adds over 50 custom milestones to the game. Some of them are able to be retroactive.
- It also further develops game behavior on some EA milestone: it adds the place of birth to the ‘born’ milestone, separates ‘ended a relationship’ into two milestones: EA’s for break-ups and a custom one for divorces, and it adds world and lot of marriage to the ‘married’ milestone.
- It also adds moodlets that differ depending on if it’s the first time something happens are a recurrent time.
- It also adds social bunny posts for many of these milestones.
- It also adds in your Sim’s profiles some statuses to show the sim who is the first one the ever kissed or woohoo’d with, as well as to show who is the firstborn. These statuses are obviously not retroactive because they are custom from the mod.
FULL DESCRIPTION / MILESTONE LIST HERE
-1.- A "TRANSITION PERIOD" --
I have been told that there are some EA game bugs right now that would cause milestones to disappear from families (by design, only played households have them, BUT the bug makes them vanish from played families too).
In addition, I have been asked by some who used memory panel in the past whether they would still have access to that panel upon installing this.
These two factors have led me to set up for this mod a “transition period”.
This means that at the moment, the old memory panel systems are still mostly running INVISIBLY alongside the new milestone-adapted systems.
You will not notice it in any way in game - but will therefore still be able to open my old panel, hidden away under the “Actions” menu.
Once everyone has transitioned and the EA bug with vanishing milestones is fixed, I will finish to fully transition this mod and remove the leftover memory panel stuff from your Sims, to lighten up the amount of data that is sitting on them.
-2.- Growing Together or Not? --
PLEASE NOTE: “Memory panel” remains as a mod, for those who don’t own “Growing Together”. "Milestones Expanded" is its equivalent for people who DO have "Growing Together".
-3.- IF YOU PLAYED THE BETA OF THIS MOD --
If you played the beta version of this mod, and if you come accross any issues transitioning to the release version, what you would then need to do is mark the households that you played during the beta version as “unplayed” via “manage world” screen to reset their milestones.
The two core files are required.
Lumpinou_MilestonesExpanded_BaseMilestones: most of the milestones are contained in this file. But it's still optional.
Lumpinou_MilestonesExpanded_Moodlets&BunnyForEAsMilestones: this contains the moodlets and social bunny triggers that apply to EA’s milestones. If you don’t like those, feel free to remove this file.
Lumpinou_MilestonesExpanded_Kiss&WooHooSbNew: this file contains the “Kissed someone new” and “Woohoo’d someone new” milestones. If you don’t like these because your Sim is getting too many of them (what a serial romantic!), then feel free to remove this file.
Lumpinou_MilestonesExpanded_CityLiving: this contains the milestones that relate to and require “City Living”. DELETE THIS FILE IF YOU DON’T HAVE THAT PACK.
Lumpinou_MilestonesExpanded_GetFamous: this contains the milestones that relate to and require “Get Famous”. DELETE THIS FILE IF YOU DON’T HAVE THAT PACK.
Lumpinou_MilestonesExpanded_IslandLiving: this contains the milestones that relate to and require “Island Living”. DELETE THIS FILE IF YOU DON’T HAVE THAT PACK.
More parts will become optional later.
* REQUIRES THE GROWING TOGETHER PACK.
If you don't have it, use my 'Memory Panel' mod instead.
* INCOMPATIBLE WITH MEMORY PANEL. This is a re-mash of it but for EA's 'memory' system
As always, thanks to Frankk and Lot51 for their tools and help.
Thanks to Waffle for coordinating us modders to avoid duplicate milestones across mods.
