Simularity Update 082

I thought the sinusitis would slow me down but nope, I keep modding and tweaking and play testing. Don’t worry, I’m getting plenty of rest and fluids and antibiotics too. Needless to say, I’m feeling blah but I’ve got lots of new stuff for you all to play with in your game! Let’s dive in, shall we?

First off, my first brand-new aspiration in quite a while, the University Life Aspiration! This is a fun one and a bit difficult if you’re not used to playing all that the University pack has to offer. I actually failed the first two times I play tested this aspiration… and I created this thing! It is fun though and I think you’ll enjoy it. All that it requires is the Discover University EP. 

Next up is my recreation/update of an old, abandoned mod. The mod I speak of is the Immortality and Ageless Reward Traits which can be found in my Other Mods category. These two reward traits will grant your Sim either eternal life or eternal youth depending on which one you pick but you can also choose both if you have enough reward points. My mod requires far less reward points than the original creator’s mod so that’s a plus.

As for the Mod Updates, I made two HUGE UPDATES and several smaller ones. The two HUGE UPDATES are for the Graveyard Lot Trait and the Bipolar Trait. I added several new buffs and corrected several other buffs for the Graveyard Lot Trait and made several improvements. If you use this lot trait, I highly recommend you download the update. Many of the improvements I crafted for the Graveyard Lot Trait came about from fan suggestions so keep those suggestions coming!! As for the Bipolar Trait, I completely recreated that trait from scratch to make it the best that it can be. I added new autonomy code and improved buffs, a new buff, and more. It’s basically a new trait. If you already have a game with the trait on a Sim, you’ll need to re-apply the trait to your Sim. I couldn’t figure out a way around this without major headaches. Sorry. 

I also updated the Artist Trait while I was at it to add a cooldown to the Artistic Rage buff so Sims aren’t in a rage nearly as often. My two pet traits, Happy Go Lucky for Dogs and Zen Cat, have both been updated so that the “no death” flavor of those traits now includes “eternal youth”. Now pets with that flavor of the trait will age up from puppy to adult but stay adults forever and never age to elder or die. 

I also, finally, updated my Midtown Movie Theater in the Community Lots section! Now there are no more “badly decorated” buffs while in the theater. Also, there are edible popcorn boxes in the theater seats for hungry Sims and the screens are bigger. Overall, it’s a much better theater. Please re-download and be sure to check the updated requirements lists.

That’s all for now. I’ve got a lot more in the works including a rather complex new Lot Trait that still needs more testing so I had better get back to testing it. I’m also brainstorming ideas for adding chance cards to my current slate of custom careers but my ideas are rather lacking so far. I’m not sure when my next update will be exactly as I intend to take the Thanksgiving holiday off to spend with family. That’s my intention at least. Also, I finally renewed Disney+ and I am way, way behind on my Marvel shows. I figure I’ll eat a big dinner then watch lots of superheroes while everyone else argues politics and watches the sportsball game. 😀
