Hi! I have a mod that I wanted to know where it came from, it has this name: latestfire-lowersavedfromdeathodds Did you create it? :)

Yes, I briefly had a few of my mods on mts. I didn't like their rules/process so I took them down and moved them here. There's a slightly improved version of that mod here:

No/Reduced Promotion Bonus

This mod removes or reduces the promotion bonus depending on the version. My reasoning is that with the bonus, it is actually beneficial to get demoted and re-promoted. The difference in salary per level is nothing compared to the 2x salary bonus they get upon a promotion. This doesn't conflict with reduced salary mods.

No Visitor Snacking

This mod prevents visitors from taking snacks from the fridge. If the host doesn't provide food (order a pizza, cut the cake, stock the buffet, etc) then party guests will go hungry.

Situationship Memories

This mod contains custom memories related to rejection, affairs, and more. Some are missing memories from the base game, and others are meant to go with interactions created by midgethetree. See the full list below. Updated 6/1/2024 to fix the mesh.

You have to manually add the memories for now, but I'm going to work on making them automatic. I used DiLight's Tattered Diary method. The mesh is Veranka's rose bouquet and can be found in misc > misc.

Instant Novel

This mod allows a sim to complete a novel instantly. I use this when I find a typo in the book title/description so I don't have wait for them to rewrite the whole thing to fix it.

Hiders & Defaults Tip

I'm not sure if this is common knowledge or not, but I've never seen it suggested anywhere. If you struggle to find default replacements for certain maxis hairs, what can you do?

I thought I would have to create a hider for each hair I couldn't find/didn't like, but it turns out you can hide everything and then override the hiders with defaults. Just make sure the hiders load before your defaults. All hairs will be hidden except for the specific ones you have defaults for.

It's less efficient I guess, but it's worth it to me... I'm lazy! Maybe I'm also dumb, but the idea never occurred to me until now.

I included links to the hiders below, organized by expansion pack.

Unselectable ACR Pregnancy

There are several mods that enable unselectable pregnancy, but you still need to make the sims selectable for ACR interactions. This mod fixes that. It applies to both try for a baby and risky woohoo. Oh and neither sim needs to be selectable for a pregnancy to occur. (You've been warned.)

You will still need one of those other mods.

I would recommend PregnancyWhileVisiting or RCC depending on if you also want teen/ya pregnancy etc.

This mod just removes ACR's additional family check. Despite the file name, this fix also applies to photo booths, sofas, and hot tubs.

This is an edited package from ACR v2.0 Final. You can replace "ACR - Controller - Bed - Socials" with my file or let mine load last.

Fixed Death By Childbirth

Midgethetree's original mod was supposed to increase the odds of death each day past a certain age threshold, but that feature is broken. The odds never increased. I messaged them about it a couple of years ago, but it appears they are no longer active. I fixed it and also added support for teens/elders. I reduced the base odds from 10% to 1%. When they are 20 days away from becoming an elder, the odds start increasing 2% per day. Once they are an elder, the odds stop increasing (40% in this case). Those values are still tunable.

Grim Reaper Wins More

This mod lowers the odds of success when pleading for a loved one. The odds are basically cut in half. See details below.

download: sfs

In the vanilla game: If the LTR plus STR is less than 25, there is no chance. Otherwise, the odds are set to the average of both values with an upper limit of 90%.

Instead of applying an upper limit, I reduced the odds further by half. This effectively lowers the upper limit to 50% but remains proportional to their relationship. I also removed the minimum relationship check. I figured I might as well let them have a chance even if it is very small. The highest possible odds under that threshold is only 6%. If you want to add that back, connect line 2 to line 3 instead of 4.

Morning Sickness All Day

This mod allows sims to show signs of pregnancy all day in their first trimester, not just the morning.

Visitor Notifications

This mod shows a notification when visitors arrive on the lot, even if they don't ring the doorbell. You won't get one for walkbys, working NPCs, or party guests. It only applies to sims who are waiting to be greeted.

Community Lot Pregnancy Bump Fix

This mod fixes the bug that causes sims in their second trimester to enter their third trimester when they appear on community lots or visit other sims. This will probably reset your sims so be prepared for that.

I am no longer supporting the 5/19/2024 version so you may want to redownload to get the original.
