Divergent Sims (Patron Version)

Divergent Sims Patreon Version

Requires the General Pie menu and Mood Pack.

Recent Updates

November 30 - Includes the ability to use mod traits in club, small business, and custom venue filters if Lot's Core Library is installed. If the patron version and the Active Therapy Center mod is installed a new trait called Mental Health Patient will also be available. This new trait makes it so that Sims with undiagnosed disorders (without diagnosed traits) can also been seen and treated by mental health professionals at small businesses and custom venues.

August 26 - Updated for patch

June 30 - Updated for the patch/pack. Added cheat for inpatient stay and service dog. You will still need to go through the steps but you don't need to visit the psychiatrist first to get approved when using the cheat.

March 31- Updated to fix a missing test for intervention reminders and to allow Sims schedule an appointment reminder event on the calendar. Sims in rehab, juvie, police custody, boarding school, hospital recovery, or inpatient stays should no longer have the chance to get a condition from the mod upon aging up until they have left such facility.

March 7 - Updated to allow sims, when appropriate, to autonomously take their meds with the exception of sims who are lazy and/or irresponsible, updated to accommodate family home remedies & other minor updates.

Jan 31 - Updated to fix ineligible sim bug.

December 31- Tweaked therapy appointment restrictions and relapse/recovery rate. Added optional medication reminder addon package.

November 27 - Updated for minor changes.

October 28 - Updated for patch changes.

August 30 - Updated for bug fix with evaluation.

July 30 - Updated for patch changes.

June 30 - It seems the in-patient stay was missing from the menu options. It has been restored. Therapy and support groups were also updated to accommodate a cancer diagnosis from HCR.

Upcoming Updates

In terms of version 6, I'm much closer to the venue working as intended but I keep hitting various technical snags of one sort or another. Since it's something new to me I'm both learning more but also hitting more walls since I don't always know what went wrong and have to spend a lot of time investigating and troubleshooting various scenarios which makes it take longer. So the active therapy portions of Divergent Sims are, unfortunately, still not ready yet but I am constantly and actively working on them.

Previous Updates

Fixed an issue with self-esteem inadvertently causing addiction. Added in-patient mental health treatment programs for Depression, PTSD, Anxiety, Eating Disorders, and Personality Disorders. They last for 3 days similar to Rehab. Your Sim will come back either fully recovered from these conditions or in the final stages of Recovery for these conditions. Members of the family can visit sims in the rehab or mental health treatment center.

Added the ability for genetics to pay a part in the proclivity of some sims towards specific neurological and mental health conditions. This will affect both which conditions are more likely to occur in sims and which conditions their offspring are more likely to get. This is not as pronounced as it is in HCR as there's a much lower correlation between genetics and mental health conditions but for the sake of the mod it exists.

well said!! Can't please everyone.

Thank you very much for your hard work! Your mods add a great deal of enjoyment to the game.

Hello. It was requested to make a specific Gifted trait. That is what I made based on the feedback of others who define themselves in that label, not all of whom in any way identify as Autistic. Gifted education is not tied simply to Autism; many neurotypical people have been considered Gifted. It was not in any way tied to the Autism trait anymore than Schizophrenia was tied to the Autism trait; they simply happen to be part of the same mod that attempts to bring neurodivergence and mental health to the Sims 4 in as many forms as I felt realistic and possible within the parameters of a video game. It was not meant to encapsulate nor was any part of this mod meant to encapsulate or reflect everyone's experience or personal feelings because that's an impossible task for a video game mod. But I certainly hear your feedback and appreciate you sharing them. Thank you and I hope you continue to enjoy playing with the mod!

As an autistic person, I honestly personally hate the term 'gifted'...it feels condescending and feeds into unhelpful stereotypes of what autism is. It also feels alienating to those autistic people who are not afforded the label of 'gifted'. I undertstand that this was requested by others in the community, but I would implore you and others to do a bit more research into the history of the term (think aspergers). I otherwise really love this mod and have loved being able to have neurodivergent sims in my game!
