Homebody – Preferences

I love being a homebody and I decided to make some homebody preferences for both of us. I wanted these preferences to be more realistic for roleplay, let’s play, storytelling, and your imagination without overly changing the moods of my sims ever so often. These homebody preferences do not come with annoying buffs that increase or decrease every time you choose an interaction, they simply allow you to interact by increasing or decreasing the social bar without changing your mood!

Have Some Personality Please! mod

This mod is going to add excitement to your game! I removed the idle chat that sims used to do. What that was, was sims would randomly go up to someone and just “Chat”. Just like it says. The sims learned nothing. They did nothing that was from their moods or traits. By removing the idle chat, sims now choose an actual interaction. Now they will ask about day, kiss, tell jokes, be mean. Your enemy sim at any given time could come up to your sim and beat you up!
