About
This mod adds realistic restrictions to certain interactions depending on what Sims have in their inventories. Sims can no longer make certain items available magically – hence the name of the mod.
Some interactions have had their conditions altered in other ways. If conditions are not fulfilled, the interaction will not show up in a Sim’s pie menu, and Sims will not perform the actions autonomously.
The list of interactions changed and how the mods alter them is as follows:
| Interaction Name | Condition | Type of Interaction |
|---|---|---|
| Play Catch | Requires baseball purchased under Hobbies…/Recreation. | Sim-to-sim |
| Toss Football | Requires football purchased under Hobbies…/Recreation. | Sim-to-sim |
| Play Kicky Bag | Requires Kicky Bag purchased under Hobbies…/Recreation. | Sim-to-sim |
| Pillow Fight | The target Sim needs to be indoors, and inside of a room which contains either a bed or a sofa. | Sim-to-sim |
| Water Balloon Fight | There needs to be at least one sink or bathtub on the lot. | Sim-to-sim |
| Primp | Requires hand mirror purchased under Decorations…/Mirrors. Diva NPCs are unaffected. | Self |
| Juggle | No code change – the interaction name was just changed so it is now under a Sim’s Entertain…/ menu. This will not work for non-English games. | Self |
| Jump Rope | Requires jump rope purchased under General…/Children. | Self |
| Entertain…/Freestyle and Freestyle For Tips | The initiating Sim now needs at least one Creativity Skill Point to Freestyle, and at least three to Freestyle for tips. In addition, the initiating Sim may not have less than 3.85 Playful points or less than 5 Outgoing points. You cannot edit these values by BCON unfortunately – if you want different values, you will have to edit the BHAVs themselves. | Self |
| Birdwatch | Requires binoculars purchased under Hobbies…/Recreation. | Ground |
| Hunt Bugs and Catch Butterflies/Fireflies | Requires bug jar purchased under Hobbies…/Recreation. | Ground |
| Dig For Treasure | Requires shovel purchased under Nature…/Gardening (Build Mode). | Ground |
Hack Conflicts/Compatibility
My pillow fight mod will conflict with Simler90’s Party Mod, specifically BHAV 22A0. Use only one in your game – if you’re using their Party Mod, you’re better off keeping theirs as they also have a similar sanity check as mine with an added feature where teens at slumber parties are more drawn to it.
Shovel for Dig for Treasure:
• Pescado’s Vacation Fixes: Resolvable – If you prefer my modification of the Dig interaction keep both and have mine load after Pescado’s. The change in Pescado’s interaction appears to be that Sims can dig indoors even if there is deep snow outdoors. I’m not interested in adding this to my version, since my Sims never dig indoors.
• Cyjon’s No Visitor Chores: Resolvable – have my mod load after Cyjon’s to keep the functionality of both. Cyjon’s rules for determining who can autonomously fill in holes have been ported over.
Binoculars for Bird Watching:
• Traits Project – No Birdwatch For Hate Outdoors: Incompatible – if you want your Sims who Hate The Outdoors to behave as in DeeDee’s mod, check out version in the zip file labelled ‘HatesNatureTrait’!
• Nopke’s Sensible Birdwatching: Resolvable, if you use the compatible version Nopke has created. You need to ensure that the Nopke’s version loads after the binoculars.
Bug Jar for Catching Bugs:
• Traits Project – No Bug Hunt For Hate Outdoors: Incompatible – if you want your Sims who Hate The Outdoors to behave as in DeeDee’s mod, check out version in the zip file labelled ‘HatesNatureTrait’!
• Nopke’s Insect Sanity: Resolvable, if you use the compatible version Nopke has created. You need to ensure that the Nopke’s version loads after the bug jar.
In addition to the above these mods will most certainly not play nice with any innumerable ‘sanity’-flavoured hacks that also alter the TEST functions of these interactions. The Juggle mod should not conflict with anything, really.
