Custom Socials

midgethetreeI've made a couple of custom socials, so I'll share them here for testing first in case I made any mistakes/wind up thinking of further improvements. Once they've gone a week without being updated I'll post the links on tumblr as well.
vamptabularasa: Vampires can perform a modified form of Tabula Rasa that'll erase the victim's memories of and relationship with the vampire. Removes committed relationship/friend/best friend/enemy/BFF flags, unlinks them in the family tree and removes the family flag if they're spouses, removes the victim's crush/love flags with the vampire, and removes furious tokens from the victim towards the vampire. Uses the OFB sales/manipulate animations since that's now my go-to for vampires, and is found under Voodoo/Tabula Rasa (or some equivalent translation) since I use my "vampires can 'voodoo'" mod and thought it'd be nice to group all this stuff together.
assesspast: Werewolves and/or aliens can assess other sims, learning gossip about them in the process. Thought bubbles will appear to clue you in to what memory they've learned, and the memory will always be one that's not about the werewolf/alien (since most of the memories they could have where the subject is the werewolf/alien are ones the werewolf/alien would already know, like 'sim went to college' or 'met sim'). Aliens must have SophieDavid's alien token to be recognized as such.
assessmood: This one's actually not a custom social, but a tweak of a Maxis one so werewolves and/or aliens can assess the mood of other sims. It works, I'm just holding off so I can release it alongside assesspast. Aliens must have SophieDavid's alien token to be recognized as such.
asktoleavepartner: If two sims are in love with each other and one of them is married or engaged with someone else, they can be asked to break up with their partner. If Sim B loves their partner and has higher LTR with their partner than with Sim A or equal LTR but higher STR, they'll reject Sim A. If they accept and their partner is on the lot the break-up will begin.
ETA: Well it's been a week, and since based on the feedback I got the mods work as intended they have been officially released on tumblr. Thanks for testing the mods out!

Date: 2019-01-05 11:33 pm (UTC)As for modding, it has a crazy learning curve: it's like gibberish when you first start but if you mess around until something works eventually everything starts clicking and modding becomes a lot easier.
Anyway I'm glad you like these mods! Happy simming!

Date: 2019-01-09 05:43 pm (UTC)Did some testing!
Date: 2019-01-13 01:15 am (UTC)1). vamptabularasa : Victim completely forgot who the vampire was, while the vampire retained relationship.
2) assesspast : Now this was cool. Loved the thought bubble approach and it was neat watching my werewolf learn things about my nuetral witch. Thank you.
3). I know you said it worked, and it does. Very nice to have this to pair with assesspast.
4). sorry, I have no couples set up at the moment, so have not had a chance to test this one yet.
One thing I noticed, and its possible this is entirely intentional, that my half-alien kids could not assess their witchy mom. I was sure to install Sophie-David's alien token and flag them as half alien before trying to use the assess mods. I take it the assesspast and assessmood are setup only as adult interactions?
