Hey there! I absolutely love your PreferencesPlus mod and how it adds so much dimension to sims I make - I remember the first time I stuck in the mod and had a sim who liked naps, then promptly fell asleep during the welcome wagon at a kotatsu table - I laughed so much!
I was wondering however if it'd be possible to create an optional version of the mod without the political interests (right wing/left wing politics)? Whilst I know politics is a part of life etc. and I'm personally not into removing politics from things where appropriate - but I'm an Australian and the preference feels very Americanized and kind of takes me out of the game. Currently it's the only thing stopping me from using the preferences for NPCs as well.
Sorry if this is too much to ask!
Hi @kery-sims - do you just mean removing them from the Preference Bomb / auto-add feature, so they don't get assigned automatically? I'd consider that, as you're the second person to raise it as a a concern. Thanks!

March 14 - Randomization file updated for Infants Patch!
Tumblr media
CAS Sanity by Helaene
Over 2,000 CAS items re-sorted into more sensible categories (merged by pack), plus a file to override default randomization behavior.
——————————–
1) CAS Default Replacements:
Example Modifications:
shorts and tank tops to hot weather, coats to cold weather
afro-textured hair only allowed for random in dark colors
age-appropriateness (crop tops and mini skirts disabled for elders…)
fixing many male items which also showed for females
garish colors and crazy patterns disabled for random
enabling clothing for opposite gender when appropriate
——————————–
2) Randomization Override (OPTIONAL):
This file is similar to (and conflicts with) SimplyAnjuta’s No Make-Up mod to modify what CAS items will be applied to randomly generated Sims (such as NPCs), but it has some differences. Use hers if you don’t like the other bits I’ve added!
Maximum Fatness and Fitness for randomized Sims is 50% (default is 100%). Please note this is not intended to be fatphobic - the distortion of the meshes at larger sizes (both athletic and curviness) has always seemed unrealistic and bothered me, and I’d rather use those more extreme settings manually. This does not restrict going down to -100% or up to 100% manually!
Hats, Accessories, Make-up, Tattoos will NOT be used on randomized Sims. It’s more extreme than I wish it needed to be, but the game is relentless about applying these items in ridiculous ways.
Randomized clothing will be full outfits vs. separate tops/bottoms 25% of the time (I find that you see the same few full outfits too often).
——————————–
This has been a total labor of love over the past months, so I really hope you notice a big difference in your game! Please don’t hesitate to leave a comment to let me know you’re enjoying it or if you have any constructive feedback.
Change Log:
Feb 28, 2023 ~100 additional CAS items added to merged files
March 2, 2023 added a version of the Randomization Override which enables Glasses (~50% of the time)
March 12, 2023 ~200 more CAS items now included (all merged packages updated) - many tights/leggings and rings disabled for random

please tell me your mod will be compatible with growing together because i literally cant play without your mod lol
Well, I definitely intend to *make* them compatible, but unfortunately I don't know yet how extensive the required changes will be. 😅 I work full-time and have a toddler, so thanks in advance for your patience! ❤️ Thanks so much for your support!

Hi Helaene, "preferences plus" is one of my favorite mods that I can't live without anymore! There is just one thing about it that bothers me - as I like to give my sims countless preferences the menu gets totally cluttered with chat options about this and that - I'm just trying to find some basic friendly interactions and have pages of preference talk. Maybe it would be possible to move all preference related chat options under a new menu point so it is more organised? Thanks for reading :)
I've really debated about how to folder the social interactions over time - I'm open to input from everyone on this!

This is about your Fear Factory mod update, I love this mod, but in the update theres only 1 file, nothing to open just a rar. Not sure what to do with this because I thought it needed 3 files to work.
Hi! You’ll need a program like Winrar to extract the files inside. 😊

Your likes and dislikes mod is still trying to activate whims. I get several exception errors so I guess it needs to be looked at
Hi! Please double check that you don’t have an older version installed because they all should be gone already. If you are seeing errors with the latest version, please send me the exception file. Thanks!

UPDATED: Shared Trait Social Impact
This override mod makes most Friendly, Funny and Romantic interactions more likely to fail between Sims with conflicting personality traits and/or preferences, and more likely to succeed for Sims with shared personality traits and/or preferences.
It complements PreferencesPlus but that mod is NOT required to use this one. This will work for ANY custom (personality or preference) traits you have!
Note that this isn't about just trait-specific interactions, it impacts ALL interactions.
Now in several strength flavors for Sims with at least one conflicting trait! (choose one)
For reference:
-5 is similar to the impact from a Sim being Stressed
-10 is similar to the impact from a Furious relationship
-15 is similar to the impact of being Divorced with the target
Matching traits now work as follows, for all flavors:
At least 1 trait matching +5
At least 2 traits matching +10
At least 3 traits matching +15
