Mod that slightly alters Sims behaviour to make them more realistic depending on age

When you exclude toddlers and infants, Sims all behave mostly the same. Young children play and clean up at the same rate as adults.

This mod attempts to fix this issue by making young Sims focus more on some things and less on others; the same is true for the other ages. This is a soft mod, made with buffs and very vanilla settings; it's not aggressive.

Main File 

This is always required. It does nothing without the modules below!

Behaviour 

This is the module that affects autonomy:

Reduces some obsessive behaviour on an age basis. Stuff like the use of a computer, phone, chess, workout, dancing, playing videogames, trolling the forum, mischief, gardening, and singing are tweaked to be globally less likely to happen but also less likely to happen for different ages.

For example, while the autonomy for mischief interactions, phone, computer, and dancing is kept fairly high for teens and children, as the sim grows older, the autonomy will be reduced, but at the same time, the autonomy for other things will be increased. Some autonomy is completely blocked for some ages, like when children shouldn't spend their time watching paintings.

This module also alters how strongly different ages are affected by different moods. In maxis, only teens have increased strength in all emotions. That's kept as it is, but I added the same for other ages:

Children will be relatively happier, more playful, more inspired, more energised, but also more bored.

Teens are left at Maxis.

Young adults will feel the anger, confidence, embarrassment, flirtiness, and sadness more than other ages.

Adults have increased strength for uncomfortable and stressed moods.

Elders have increased strength for uncomfortable, bored, and sad moods.

This adds no moods; it just means that when in that specific mood, there will be a bonus.

Cleaning 

This aims to reduce the autonomous cleaning sims are obsessed with. It doesn't affect slobs or neat sims.

This too is tuned on an age basis, so children should not autonomously decide to clean; adults will be more likely to do it. Autonomy is not blocked for teens, but they shouldn't be very likely to do it. Autonomy is globally reduced anyway.

Romance 

This globally reduces the autonomy for romantic interactions on an age basis. Teens will be more likely to flirt and mess around autonomously, but autonomy decreases slightly as the sim grows older. Doesn't affect romantic sims.

Fitness 

Adds decay rate to fat commodity. 

Sims will gain and lose fat and muscles at a different rate depending on age.

Arguments 

This requires Parenthood and adds more variety to the arguments:
