Carl's Sims 4 Gameplay Overhaul Mod v1.6 - Public Version

I'm so excited to use this mod! Would you ever consider including a README text file in the ZIP with the information you have in the post? Just to have it on hand

Somasu

This kinda makes me want to get Sims 4 for the computer just so I can play this mod, lol. Currently playing on xbox

Jeff Harris

Hi, are all features in in just one file or can you pick and choose which ones do you want?

Amy

does it works with 1.114.46 version?

Tyler

the children being able to change game settings just means that you as the player could change the settings while your active sim is a child, not that sims can somehow autonomously change the mod settings lol. If you don't want the game to be harder then this mod is likely not for you, or at least you would want to leave most of it turned off. Which you can do! thats an option!

Lineyakitty

Wow, so many options and settings, I'm overwhelmed by the features this mod gives but at the same time I'm really confused, because there are so many options about things I don't really understand, I think I need to watch a video about your mod, someone who explain all the features in a video, would be great for me to understand for what i need this mod. I mean, the game is like it is. Sims loose gain friendship and charisma always helps on with friendship and I taught in careers they would also gain more points when they have more charisma. Toddlers are always making messes autonomously, this is a good option, why do the children/toddlers etc. alter the game settings? I mean, how??? How can your own playable children Sim change the game settings by its own? And / Or even NPC Kidz too? If that's true, that's crazy! Unbelievable. I don't know if I'm going to download this, I really need to watch videos explaining this mod further, there are so many options and I'm happy with the game. I just don't like the calories system the EA game has right now, the "smell dish" animation that all Sims do at the same time, oh and those pop ups from children/teenager when they go to school/highschool that their value changes (one positive, but the other negative) , is there a way to make them gain just positive things and the other could be 0, so they wouldn't loose any points. And the Young Adult + Adult Sims that go to work, I notice those pop ups which asks us things we don't know what to choose from, sometimes there is a hint highlighted in green and red, so we know which to choose from, but sometimes there is no hints at all, and those pop ups without hints - I want them to disappear! If I want to play difficult games I can still play Sims 2 or 3... But loosing points on dumb questions about the jobs (those questions doesn't make sense at all), and I'm trying so hard to win everything in one save file! Every Aspiration, every base game jobs, skills,collectibles etc. When I'm done, I play GTW, then Hobby & Business (as they are similar), and then all the other DLC's I have. I still need to play Get Together and so on, as they were released. (Sorry for the long comment) Have a nice day!

LuciaSims

thank you for fixing the fishing issues

カ らい

I'm having the same issue with fishing. Hopefully this mod can be updated soon <3

virginyathevamp

I'll also write it here: Gameplay Overhaul, a fantastic mod, but I'm encountering a significant issue while using it. It appears to have broken the fishing system: when I catch a fish, I receive the initial notification that I’ve discovered a new type of fish(and it is recorded in the notebook), but the second notification showing the fish's weight and size doesn't appear. Additionally, the fish doesn't get added to my inventory, although other items like treasure boxes and upgrade parts are collected properly. I tried disabling the fishing overhaul by restarting the game, but nothing. When I disable your mod and restart the game, the fishing system works properly again and the fish are correctly added to the inventory. So I'm certain the issue is caused by your mod, which is a real shame, because I really enjoy it. (Note that I deleted all settings files before reinstalling the mod).

TheSmoothHead

This mod doesn't typically require updates with patches and only gets updated when there is a bug fix. So in other words it's up to date.

Mila

Any news on an update?

Akis Barca

hi, I'm just wondering if this mod still works/has been updated for the may update? if not thats okay i was just wondering!

sadiebug

I'd appreciate if the mod got updated - I can deal with turning off the burglars, but the mod keeps lowering relationship points for the people that live together in super speed and it's just with any and every action that happens (like, cooking a meal, showring = relationship goes down). :(

Vera Skodova

If the Burglar update broke this mod, I suspect that the biggest fix would be making it so that the Burglar from this mod either ceased to exist or became Robin Banks and this was the way to turn off burglars altogether, or at least an alternate way to do it so we don't have to click who knows how many times through the settings; settings which aren't even very CLEAR, like with the Animal Aging. If the box is ticked off, it's green, and it's blank if it's off, right? The Animal Aging is so confusing. Not only does it ONLY apply to cows, llamas, chicks/hens/roosters, Mini Sheep and Mini Goats, but the wording of the setting is confusing too! I also wish that, should Dine Out EVER get a refresh, I hope they are smart about it, hire you and you just officially add the mod into the game, and is brought in to update it whenever you add new features, or just have remote access to the files so you can just replace the old version with the new one. And rather than them calling it "Dine Out Refresh," which sounds stupid, you insist they keep the name of the mod and announce that "Dine Out has been RELOADED for EVERYONE for FREE!" or something like that and instead of people who doesn't know much about the mod, footage of the Burger Boys are shown for the trailer for the Reload... I'll stop rambling, heh

Samantha

Can this mod work with the Burglar update?

Tay Simmer

For anyone waiting for this mod to update: Balanced life from chingyu is a good alternative. It's not as in dept as this one, but it's still good.

Terah

He never does. That's why I no longer am a patron.

LadyEdgelord

Happy Holidays! Hope you are doing well and having a great start to your year. I was wondering if you would consider either making a separate module or releasing as a separate mod your burglary system with the npc burglars and the good and bad neighborhood lot traits? It would be incredible to be able to have those separately if it wouldnt be too much of a hassle. No worries if not possible though. Take care

Naturalitarian

Please update this mod! I can’t play The Sims 4 without it—it’s absolutely essential.

Luiz Eduardo Andreolla

Would be nice to let everyone know if this has been depreciated or not dude. You have paying Patreons regardless of whether this is available to the public or not and I feel like they are pretty entitled to a response

Dillan Dreyer

So, do the mods need an update or not? Can anyone inform us???

Stam

Will this get updated soon? The game has seen many updates since you’ve posted this and your other mods.

Perfect Cyan

has this been updated to work with the updated patch ?

niccole hart

same!

CleverZoe

Needs an update, I'm getting last exception since the new game update a day ago.

Jake Carter

Is anyone else having an issue with romantic dates? Even when getting a full bar during a date, I receive a gold, silver, and bronze award and I’ll get a message that the date was boring or don’t call me etc.

Andra

hi the rules only apply to the sim im using or the hole world?

Afi360

hey! i've made a medieval/historical replacement addon for burglars clothing if anyone plays in such a setting - https://www.patreon.com/posts/109901382 <3 and thank you so much for that mod!

Marie

Hello, does it need update????

Stam

I feel like my sim always gain weight with food but never seems to lose it, is there a way to check a sims BMI to see if there are improvements?

Leewah

Burglar bugged out mid-burgle. Game was completely unresponsive and was forced to exit game to get back to normal.

MrPeppy

it broke again friend

ThatBihD

there was a second update after the main one so the mod may have broke again

victor

keep getting error: The listed script mod failed to load and should be removed or updated. Failure: 'GameplayOverhaul' (GameplayOverhaul) No module named 'relationships.relationship_objects' (ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'relationships.relationship_objects')

Habibi

Oh I'm curious about this too, it's one of my favorite features

TheCakeMachine

Do you still assign calories for foods from the more recent packs? And do drinks get calories as well, or is that just for food only?

Perfect Cyan

I want it to be clear. My mods work and some people are installing old/outdated mods that break other script mods or interfere in some way. There are WAY WAY too many mods out there for me to know what you may have installed that breaks my stuff.

Carl's Sim Guides

Just now seeing this but if anyone has this issue it is likely a mod compatibility issue of some kind with Dine Our Reloaded or else script mods are not turned on. This is the page for Gameplay Overhaul though.

Carl's Sim Guides

Wrong mod page but those are auto-generated by my mods to hold your settings and are automatically put in the correct spot. If you moved it, it would regenerate it so leave it where it is :)

Carl's Sim Guides

Hi! When installing this mod, do I put the "Carl_DineOutReloaded_Settings" file in another area, or do I keep it all in the same folder inside the root Mods folder? Thank you!

Haylie Baker

I have just downloaded this mod for the first time and it doesn't seem to really be working for me. All the options come up for me to take orders and all that but when I click them, the sim doesn't really follow through with it and it just cancels. Do you know why this could be happening? Or what I can do to fix it?

Abigail Zöe

Just to let you know I am no longer getting an exception, so i assuming it was something to do with that latest patch. Love this mod, especially for rags to riches!

Jen

Since installing the latest version, it says that my Sims don't own their resturants? On the map, it says they do, but when I'm actually playing them, they have the option to buy a resturant and can't do anything on the premises of the one they should own. It wasn't sold as they don't have more money in their household, and now they can't afford to buy it back. I guess they've lost all of their progress? They had fully trained staff, 4 star ratings, I'd done all the menus. Can this be fixed?

Yazybee

Will this conflict with any mods in particular?

Tamara Buckner

Thank you for your reply. Things seem to be good, i think it might have something to do with the reason EA are throwing an emergency our way! So i will update and see how things go.

Jen

Are things working OK otherwise? Not all exceptions are game-breaking. I am not able to speculate on it without seeing it. You could email it to carl@carlsguides.com with subject lastexception so I can take a look.

Carl's Sim Guides

So since the latest patch (May), i keep getting an exception regarding this mod, as well as DO reloaded 4.0 and Retail Reloaded too.

Jen

I just had a burglar break in and then a cop showed up (in sleepwear) and arrested them, however, the red text above the cop's head read "burglar", is this something that has already been fixed and I need to update (MCCC keeps catching last exceptions)?

Adrien Horrell

Foods with 0 are given a reasonable amount of calories based on how healthy they seemed to me at the time. from 200 to 350. Nothing is turned down, just no foods should have 0 calories.

Carl's Sim Guides

With the calorie system are some of the base games food tuned down or was it all kept the same and only the new food items after base game added with calories

Amber Davis

Lovin' this mod! Just a few things! Firstly, the detective shows up with the Burglar tooltip. The tooltip name has to be changed to 0x1259AD94 in carl:job_burglar_detective (unless they're in cahoots). And the buff reason "(from having a burglar!)" doesn't appear to show up in-game. Also, I'm currently translating the mod but I can't find the strings for the notification that shows up when the burglar is arrested anywhere in the files. Can you point me in the right direction? Thanks! :)

drocatero

Is it possible you're using an older version of sims 4? is there anything interesting inside that log file like exceptions? You could try emailing it to carl@carlsguides.com with subject Gameplay Overhaul

Carl's Sim Guides

Hi, seems like I'm having a similar issue to a lot of other people here - I can't get the options menu to show up - I've checked all the things showed here - removed all other mods and cc, script mods are enabled, its in the right place, its creating a log file, ive tried with and without testing cheats and both with and without shift on the grund, the mailbox, the sims - none of it is working?

TO

This looks incredible! I haven't played TS4 yet, but I'm slapping this on and into the fray from the get go. Have a wonderful day, my man!

Aria S

Hi, thank you so much for this mod! Will you eventually add a feature that lets it change the actual text string on incomes? Eg. changing the salary amount that shows up in the job section, the income you get from selling paintings, etc.

Bubble's Island

hi, I am having the same problem as others here, I can't seem to be able to access the menu for this mod. I tried turning testing cheats on and off, clicking on the mailbox, the ground and sims, both with and without shift. I even tried restarting the game. I was wondering if any new progress has been made?

Daniel Pavlas

Hey Carl! I have MAYBE run into an issue with this mod - the inner workings of Sims 4 is a mystery to me so I can't be sure, but I was experiencing a bug where I could only view my sim panels once and any subsequent times would cause the music to play as if I was viewing it, but the game would not pause and the panel would not show.... removing your mod seems to have fixed the issue. Just wanted to let you know because this is one of my favorite mods and I want it to be at its best! I figure something like this can easily go unnoticed as I might be the only person who looks at sim panels lmao

Mad Utzsar

Does this need any updates for the post Crystal creations patches?

Sophie

I am having an issue where I can't access the Carl's mod thingy in game. If I click on the mailbox, shift click on the ground etc, it won't come up. I have it in the same place, I haven't moved it, I downloaded it, replaced the files, etc.

Natani Silverlock

do you plan on revamping the burglars with the new for rent features?

Nicolas

Hahah thanks for the update - anyway you could put this as a collection or something (I don't know how patreon works).... I kept going to your main site hoping for an update lol

Ka Te

Do you need all the expansions, game packs, etc. to use this mod?

Lizzie S.

Is the mod generating a log file? It should appear next to the other mod files. This shows it is working. Host stand won't show gameplay overhaul menu just dine out. GO can be found on the mailbox or shift-clicking ground with testingcheats on.

Carl's Sim Guides

Hello! :) I have script mods enabled and my other mods are working well, but I just downloaded your mod today and I have it in the correct place in my mods folder. I have unzipped the file and when I tried to use this by shift clicking the host stand or the ground, no menu or option for this cheat pops up at all. Help?

Logan Keener

It's a result of the new patch today and I'm seeking some help from fellow creators to resolve it :)

Carl's Sim Guides

Hey, I got a better exceptions alert that something with this mod isn't working: The listed script mod failed to load and should be removed or updated. Failure: 'GameplayOverhaul' (GameplayOverhaul) 'blueprintmethod' object has no attribute '__func__' (AttributeError: 'blueprintmethod' object has no attribute '__func__') I only downloaded it today. Is there a chance that it conflicts with other mods from other creators?

Sinceritas Infernalis

Depends what is in the lastexception. A lot of them are mostly harmless, though of course I fix those that appear from my own code just to make it more clean. I go through a lot of systems in this mod so it can appear i'm a problem when I'm not, though it's hard to say without me having a look myself.

Carl's Sim Guides

There seems to be some type of bug for this i got a better exceptions notice last night while playing is this something your working on i love this mod lol

Jazmeyon Davis

I'm not sure what's up with the mailbox re: Dine Out. I don't actually have dine out settings on it any more (or am not supposed to). I have both installed and use shift-click on the ground for dine out settings and I believe GO can be accessed the same way. You have script mods turned on ,yes? And DO is at least v3.3 while using GO v1.54. This would be the same I am using. As for the changes made, most of them are in this page just broken into the sections from when I updated the mod. I also make an effort to explain all the settings in the menu. Nearly every feature of the mod is in the menu now.

Carl's Sim Guides

Hi, I seem to be encountering some sort of incompatibility with DO-the mailbox only shows me one mod menu (depending on which I installed first, I think). Also, I wanted to know whether I can find a full list of bug fixes and improvements that this mod provides? Thanks so much for your help! :)

MinnieXplayer

Is it possible that the script mods setting isn't on? that's one possible culprit. Another would be the mod not being in the right place. You can tell if it's working if a log file that is similar name to the mod appears in your mods folder. You should see those 2 files become 4.

Carl's Sim Guides

Hello! I can't seem to find the setting menu on the mail ox or when I click on my sim? Any idea why that might be?

EosGOD

This still works even after the most recent update in December.

Spencer Roper

can someone please explain how to use the "Select a World" option to control walkby settings? I dont see this option anywhere in the Carl Gameplay Settings menu when clicking on the mailbox..

Crystal Freeman

Question how do I adjust the modules in this mod. Am I missing something in the Sim's Wheel?

Trenton Reinhardt

is it fixed for the new patch yet?

TaeSimz

Hello. I downloaded and installed the mod. Scripts are allowed and it says that the mod is there but there is no menu. Neither on the mailbox or the ground. Is the mod broken?

Stephanie

is this mod working for the most recent patch?

devilscore.io

Will disabling world-specific walkbys in Copperdale apply to the high school students too? (like if I set it so there’s no Willow Creek walkbys in Copperdale, will that also ensure that no Willow Creek students spawn when following your sims to high school?) Thanks so much 😁

LaurenCheerio

de rien :)

MOLLORY

Thank you. Merci.

omglaserspewpew

Good morning Carl. Could be there compatibility issues between your calories changes and srsly's coocking overhaul because of the recipe changes?

Daniel

Yep! Working well with newer patches. Just working on some projects lately that don't fit the GO theme ... but will soon!

Carl's Sim Guides

is this mod still active?

JarrettMP3

hi, I added 3 translations. edit 9/20. https://www.mediafire.com/file/hsxwdk3dlr3ncyj/%2521Carl_Gameplay_Overhaul_V1.53_FR_Braville.rar/file

MOLLORY

Hey, I don't know if this is supposed to happen but with this mod in my game my sims gets a +1 happy "New to the Neighborhood" moodlet when I start a new game. The moodlet says its from the cheerful trait but my sims don't have that trait. Thought that was super odd.

Rebecca Keller

Hi Carl! Thanks for saving our games once again :) Can I make one request? When you post a new version of this mod, can you include the date and game version so we know for sure that we're getting an updated file? I always check for mod updates after a patch, but sometimes it isn't clear whether the download file is new or not. Thanks so much for all you do!!!

HarshMelon

GO lite is discontinued If you set all difficulty settings to easy and disable the satisfaction system/relationship caps, you have GO lite with much more control. So you can choose what you want and do not want. I'm sorry it's annoying but it saves me maintaining too many mods and gives you much more control. Set it up this way 1x, and it will carry over between saves :) Settings also do not break on update.

Carl's Sim Guides

Is GO Lite compatible with the 1.90 patch?

DeeSims

Thank you! Where can I find it?

Letisha

Yep!

Carl's Sim Guides

Yep, 2x now :)

Carl's Sim Guides

Is dine out reloaded still separate as well?

Breoni Hester

Please tell me this has been updated to the new patch?

Letisha

Oh!! Good to know, thank you!!

Breoni Hester

Tuning Only is antiquated, because it did force you to use specific features. If you put Careers, Money, etc. on easy you get Tuning Only now and have more control over the other things <3

Carl's Sim Guides

Will these fixes be incorporated into the tuning only version as well?

Breoni Hester

If you don't like it, disable relationship caps, or raise your Sim's charisma which will improve how much max friendship they can gain in a day :)

Carl's Sim Guides

In my game relationships are stalling with this mod. No other mod conflicts as I tested this mod on its own and relationships were just stalled. I'm using v1.5042 public version.

Melanie Hoyle

+1 to making it modular. There are chunks of GO I really want (the burglars, the gardening overhaul... I know I said before that I don't want to think about dieting more than I have to, but honestly the basal metabolic rate feature would be really useful in long games to combat the issue where active sims gradually balloon up unless they're fitness fanatics.) However, it's so large and touches so many systems that I just don't dare use it with so many other mods in my game- I did try for a time, but with GO I was experiencing more lag and dropped interactions than usual, which I suspect is due to it not playing nice with my other mods. In particular, I like how Kuttoe/SHUSHU's Keep Sims In Home Regions handles walkbys, but my understanding from the discord is that they're probably incompatible even if I don't have GO's sim filters on? It's still a very impressive piece of work, though. I feel good about being a patron seeing how much work Carl puts into the game. 💯

DC

This is a good collection of mods, which I can see appealing to a lot of people, and always appreciate the effort folks put into game modding. I've been modding games for many years, and understand the frustrations. I wish to offer some feedback, but please don't take anything I say as criticism, or demands, as it's neither. This is a great idea and does things in some unique ways, which of course are your preferences, but I feel it should be a collection of modular mods, similar to LittleMsSam, Kuttoe, and many others, rather than a single overhaul. A lot of these features, are already done by other mods, but in different ways. Some people may prefer how those other mods handle those gameplay aspects, and using features from this on top of mods, that people may not realise are conflicting, may produce undesirable results, which has ben my experience, sadly. It also makes it more difficult for the user to track down which mod is causing an issue, such as undesirable behaviour or lag. As an example, I'd personally like the food calorie part of the mod, without any of the other stuff I don't personally need, or be left wondering where those added interactions and objects came from, because as I said the majority of which are handled differently by other mods, so I don't really need an overhaul mod, just to get a single feature I desire (this is why I appreciate how LMS and others do it). Furthermore, I also believe all options should default off (including game bug fixes), as like me, not everyone will want all the features, especially having to launch the game first to turn them off. Lastly, it would be clearer if the menu options were more consistent, as some will say "easy" when disabled, and some will say "off". If a feature is off, it should clearly state "off", to be 100% clear to everyone; (it could even state "Off - (Easy)") Many thanks for your effort!

Anach

Honestly I'm the type of player who doesn't use mods and only play vanilla on every game, I never use mods on the sims 4 except few maxis match cc, but damn I really appreciate this one it really feels like an update rather than a mod, I would like to thank you for the update you have addressed pretty much every problem I had with the gameplay. Congrats!

Monocle

I haven't separated them out yet. I want to eventually go back to Burglars with more experience under my belt, and create them as a standalone with a bit more features, and a stronger foundation.

Carl's Sim Guides

I don't, simply because of so many mods out there. I try my best to make compatible whenever I get a report of a pointless incompatibility. I don't actually know of any that outright conflict atm. In general, disable features if you want some other, more specialized mod to take over. For instance, Kuttoe's career overhaul should work with the mod if you put careers on easy. So generally, it's a matter of considering what that other mod is doing.

Carl's Sim Guides

I have not seen that issue! You would only want one burglar alarm. It sounds like the game thinks a burglar situation is running and is setting it off... oh my..

Carl's Sim Guides

I love your mods and guides. I've been using the guides since Sims3. I have a problem with the burglar alarms. They go off randomly when no burglar is around - like every 2-3 sim hours. Also, do I need an alarm in each room that has an outside door or is one enough for the whole house?

Sarah Purcell

Do you have a list of conflicts for this mod?

Marissa

the game is too hard as it is! i have to turn needs decay WAAAY down, or even off to be able to function. But the money part however.....

YellowOrange 312

I never got around to call police, but should for sure. I'm looking into your report on the burglar alarm now. There are a bunch of ways for Sims to stop burglars (a lot of supernatural powers work on them)

Carl's Sim Guides

I LOVE this new version but I'm running into a teensy issue, the burglar alarm seems to be missing from the BB catalogue, it does appear in the search bar but doesn't spring up when selected (only have your mods installed currently) - also... if anyone can help, how do I stop burglars besides fighting them off or using a burglar alarm? thought there would be a "call police" option with GTW installed.

TerraKat24

My bad if I scrolled past this somehow and it was already addressed, but is it possible to get the burglars on their own without any of the other features? I already have mods that address tuning the other elements of this overhaul (entirely to my liking) and would rather not take on any extras

Only Me

Hi Vicki! I want to add more options. SO which areas are you wanting options for?

Carl's Sim Guides

There is so much about this mod that I absolutely love, but also a few things that I really don't want -- so much so that I've removed the mod from my game. I hope you decide to make some features customizable or optional. But I still want to give you an enormous amount of love and support for the amazing amount of work you've put into this!! <3

HarshMelon

Is there anyway I can turn off the burglar aspect? Whenever I click fight for stuff my sims just stand there and the burglar always gets away :(

Kristen Osunkwo

I would like to say thank you for your fantastic guides you've made over the years and also see if I could put in a request for an idea I had with the burglar side of your mod. There is a YouTube video of some Sims doing the Tango and I thought it would be hilarious to mix that with the burglar. Like he could Tango into the house, put things in his bag, maybe even grab a sleeping Sim and Tango with them a little bit as they sleep and drool the whole time and then he swipes something and Tangos out of the house. It would be even better if Tango music was playing in the background but I'm not even sure if ANY of this is even possible. If not then I appreciate your time and once again thank you for your interest in modding and your great guides you've made! You are awesome! Also could we get the burglar part of your mod as a standalone mod by any chance?

SlightlyRemoved

This adds so much charm into the game that's been lacking since Sims 2 and 3. The first burglar that came into the house legitimately made a bee-line for the kitchen and stole a tray of cookies. Sounds made up, but I grabbed screenshots. Thank you for this :)

MOLLORY

Hi players report to me that they mostly work fine together

Carl's Sim Guides

This might come as a stupid question, but is this compatible with the mod Meaningfull stories that overhaul emotions?

Minimouette

Oh man i was with you and so psyched until the thing about the camera. I earnestly enjoy my Sims taking selfies and use them to decorate their bedrooms. I don't see the problem with that :( I would also really really be interested in modules if possible even behind the $5 paywall which I'm going to do because i want to support your hard work. But i truly enjoy other mods like SimRealist's SNB and Bills. I feel like my Sims careers are balanced enough i don't mind the money they make. That's just me and my playstyle though haha

Kristen Rew

PLEASE make this mod into a series of modules! I've been playing this game since the day it came out- which means I already know how I like my bills tuned, I already know how I like my careers and skills tuned, etc. I know the main balance changes can be turned off but it would be great to be able to pick and choose what parts do and don't get installed. I would hate to have to sacrifice the changes I like and have already implemented for the ones I'm not personally interested in (or for major features like dine out fixes and burglars). Plus having everything as one single mod massively increases risk of incompatiblity and means more broken stuff with updates. Please please please consider making this into individual mods! Thank you!

Intern Waffle

Yeah. I will do another patch for them sometime. I am working on a free patch for wedding stories for release day.

Carl's Sim Guides

Fully compatible. Maybe some very specific settings in MCCC could not work correctly but if not let me know. I develop the mod with MCCC installed.

Carl's Sim Guides

Hi Carl. Is this mod compatible with MCCC? I assume any mods that alter bills, job pay, etc. would conflict.

Regina Lemoine

will you be releasing the burglars to the public?

ponkerz

This is definitely something I've considered. I've also considered skill decay as an option for skills not used in a long time.

Carl's Sim Guides

Hey there! Do you have any plans to create settings that would change the rate at which sims gain skills? I feel like a "harder skills" mode would be right on brand for this mod. :-) Loving everything so far!

Ohhh. So I need the patreon Version

This version isn't updated to Dine Out Reloaded yet but should be there within a couple weeks. I need to work on how I share my mod info and what's in them, because I think it causes a little confusion.

Hi!! Been wanting a mod like this since forever, So, Thank you. With that said i want to report that the kids are still making messes in the restaurants.. ALOT! and even though my sim ordered twice he never got his meal. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

tammy dancer

Okay thank you!

Hi! Does the free version include burglars? Sorry if I missed that part

Head to your mailbox and hit the Relationship Caps option under Carl Difficulty and turn the caps off :)

Carl's Sim Guides

Is it possible to turn off/on the different aspects of the mod? For example, I love nearly everything here, but I actually don't want to have to work so hard on relationships all the time. I totally understand why you'd do that, though.

I'm sorry Terah. That's really crappy to hear and I also apologize for missing your post. I'll have a look to see what might be causing it. Anyway you could email a save game to carl@carlsguides.com?

Since the last update (of the game and the mod) my game runs really slow and my computer crashes after about an hour of gameplay. The only fix I found was removing this mod, which makes me really sad. It's just too much for my pc. Is there a way to make it easier for my pc to handle? I didn't have trouble before the update.

Terah

Just so you don't miss it, check your inbox and/or grab the updated files. Easy fix... thanks for the report and letting me know how you feel about the mod! I am enjoying the project :)

Carl's Sim Guides

I am enjoying this mod a lot! Thank You for making it! It's fun to watch your Worst Mod Ever Made video to see how far you've come in mod-making; keep up the awesome work! <3 I did come across a bug, though: my sim is doing Jungle Adventure temple runs and I was smart enough to bring a tent along this time, however the interaction Place in World on the tent does not work. The action is immediately cancelled once it comes up in the queue, no routing failures or anything. The only mod I removed was the Difficulty Mod and the interaction then worked; I also removed all my other mods and just had the Difficulty Mod and the interaction cancelled again. Not sure if it's all Place in World items, but tents for sure. Just wanted to pass what I found along; I do look forward to seeing what you add to the mod! :)

This is definitely something I wanna do. It may be difficult but I will be giving it a shot.

Hey there. I have been testing this mod without other mods installed just so I can gage better how it is working. So far it's great (although I am still finding the romantic relationships a little too easy). It would be great if you could get the game script to match the changes (ie having the career information box reflect the changes in the amount being paid.)

I am having a lot of fun making it. I'll have to get around to doing a brief LP with it so I can get a feel long term for all of my changes at once. I do a lot of testing but haven't got into the meat of a play session in a while.

Carl's Sim Guides

I haven't got to test it yet! Sorry about that. You could tell if it was working if the mod doubled bills, but if that mod touches them or changes them it might be a bit more expensive than you'd like.

Carl's Sim Guides

Carl - thanks for tackling this. This is huge. <3

How does this mod work with SimRealist's SNB Bills?

Ceara Ivory

Yeah it did get updated - I made sure that it tones stuff down if Meaningful Stories is installed, but that's all... still, it's something a lot of people wanted. There would be a lot more going on but I got stuck on a very difficult issue that I haven't resolved after 4 days but did learn a lot from the process :)

Carl's Sim Guides

Was this updated? I saw your Youtube community post (1d ago now) but I can't tell if it has been.

Sylv Syl

Hi Claire. I'm working on this for you right now. It's very sensible. My mod would then impact strength but not increase duration on short life span. I'll see if I can get it working and let you know ASAP

Carl's Sim Guides

Any chance that the emotion buffs can alter with lifespan? I'm playing a short lifespan legacy and if anyone dies they are sad for their entire childhood or half their adulthood!

Claire

Sounds good. I'll be coming back to this looking for feedback and will investigate this down the road. Thanks for the suggestion - it's a good one.

Carl's Sim Guides

That is kind of funny I don't think I will separate it out for that exactly but I will definitely fix the toddler's thing if I can tonight

Carl's Sim Guides

Love it so far! ....except.... Is there a way to separate the mods? Like money v relationship? Or exempt toddlers from all relationship boosts, as unlike children and adults they don't have a way to actively work it down? My toddlers have a +6 sad because a repairman they never met died on their lot....it's lasting for 6 days, their entire toddlerhood! No biggie, just thought I'd make that request, thanks for making this!

Carl, have you considered editing the skill XML yet? In looking into it, I found that fire skill chance only has 3 tiers instead of changing with individual skill levels. I also found immunity to fire at level 1, and blacklist and whitelist entries that led to immunity and a further long (48h) period of immunity after a fire. If you want to add further complexity, that might be an idea.

Sylv Syl

Pre or post update. Just fixed some things

Carl's Sim Guides

I'm not sure if anyone else has noticed but this mod wasn't allowing me to save my game and it altered my sims's ability to age up properly. I'm not sure if it conflicts with MCCC or with another mod. I'll be sure to let you know!

I've been testing a bit: if I only got this mod in everything runs smoothly. Once I put MC Command center in I'm getting this bug (I removed all other mods and cc). I tried deleting my MC command settings, which did not help and I repaired my game, also with no effect. This is the save file I was testing it with: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZZvnlcg3iix-5JubYfzOQBjAAL-984G5/view?usp=sharing I was playing with the sim named Rose.

Terah

I'm having some trouble with the mod: my households aren't always loading and I just now wasn't able to switch between sims in my household. It also doesn't save! (|Although I don't get any errors, my save file just doesn't get updated) I do have other mods. Any tips on how to trouble shoot this? Or are there any know mods that conflict with this one? I do really love the idea of this mod! The sims is way too easy :)

Terah

Thanks midi. I have updated it a bit already to make things better.

Carl's Sim Guides

I am very much hoping that it will be but haven't got to test.

Carl's Sim Guides

Great comment. I understand that they can do some or all of that, but I'll be basically flavoring this with my own desires. I've just made relationships take a bit longer to build, and negatives take more. I will absolutely be digging deeper as you recommend. I'm just gettin' started and laying the ground work :)

Carl's Sim Guides

Not to be negative - but I will explain: The MCCC can cover some of this mod, and Meaningful Stories can also do this - but I appreciate the effort in a complete effort to tune the game to feel more realistic. But, I think the game should have more gameplay to offset the ease of selling skill items and lacking ability to manage your money or bills. (Not every sim is a Grinder!) Modding the bills and expenses to be more well-defined, or the ability to save and earn capital gains would be a lot nicer than flat cuts and boosts to earnings and expenses. After toying with both MCCC and Meaningful Stories - I can say they have that part covered very well and users should use those to fine-tune economics and emotions. But what else could you do? There's a lot of vectors for balance in the game. Time for each action, time lockouts for taking certain actions, introducing small things (Savings and interest!) or introducing new random events that introduce a little danger or risk or misfortune can do a lot. Keep working hard! Someone has to dig very deep into the game, and I think you can do it! Keep working on this mod!

Starsickle

Is this compatible with other mods like meaningful stories?

FAYE

this sounds like a great idea! excited to try it out!!

widge

This sounds absolutely amazing! Can’t wait to play around with it!
