BG - Autonomous Socials [ Repost ] (Patreon)

Reposting this because it became bigger than originally was, so hear me out:

The mod now blocks random flirting and sims in a relationship from accepting random flirts from other sims (unless they're non committal) but only if you install all the options. 

It should also stop the "bug" with all sims being mean to each other and ruining relationships people have been talking about... ok it's not a bug, Maxis added some new autonomous only interactions, among them socials_Mean_AutonomousOnly_STC and socials_Romance_AutonomousOnly_STC, socials_Romance_AutonomousOnly_Teen_STC so fucking pushed that not even SCAM or an affordance filter can stop them. I tried adding a test in the global test of the interaction to stop it from running when sims have +10 friendship or above. 

Now to the mod, to have a basic functionality out of it you can just install:

Zero_BG_AutonomousSocials.package

One of the two options for the Autonomous Flirt, one of the two options of the Flirt. Sims will stop being random arseholes with mean interactions and will stop flirting around when they are in a relationship (Soulmates, Promised, Significant Other, Engaged, Married) but they will still accept random flirting from strangers. To also stop them from accepting it, install:

Zero_BG_AutonomousSocials_SimsAreFaithful

This conflicts with Better Romance. You can ignore it if you alredy use that one since they attempt to do the same thing, mine is simpler but more aggressive, Better Romance is far more nuanced and in deep.

Now for the different flavours in the mod:

Zero_BG_AutonomousSocials_BlockedAutonomousOnlyFlirt

or 

Zero_BG_AutonomousSocials_NukedAutonomousOnlyFlirt


- This is the pushed interaction I was talking about above (the romantic one, the other is addressed in the main file). I suggest starting with the blocked one, the known issue is the interaction still attempts to run, and the action for the relationship change still runs, but it will not trigger jealousy or anything. In alternative, the other file attempts nuking it altogether. Only pick one.


Zero_BG_AutonomousSocials_NoCreepyCuteWave

or

Zero_BG_AutonomousSocials_VanillaFlirtAnimation


- Basegame flirt is another interaction that defies every soft attempt to stop it. So I had to edit the interaction directly. Maxis added a new animation for the flirt, which is a lot better than the creepy shit we had, but it's exclusive to teenagers. Since the basegame Cute Wave animation creeps me out, I replaced it with the new one. You can pick the vanilla option to keep the old animation. 

The mod is buff based mostly, so it requires the XML INJECTOR to fully work.
