If and only if you are upgrading from version 1.0 of the mod: You will have to reapply your physical traits and attractions (there is also a “Clean Earlier Mod Data from Save” option inside the ERO Settings menu -> Automate/Randomize/Remove section for extra cleanup), but this should be the only trait reset of that kind you’ll need to do for this mod.
Compatibility:
Compatibility is a priority in this mod; it is made to enhance the Sims experience and work harmoniously alongside any other mods like it. There are no known conflicts right now: that includes anything made by KiaraSims4Mods, Lumpinou, Turbo, KawaiiStacie, etc. If you do discover any conflicts with other mods, especially romance mods, please let me know and I’ll check it out when I can.
Translations:
For all those who would like to translate this mod, thank you! No reposts of ERO to other sites are allowed, so send me your translation and I will add it to the mod, and then you can link to it from other sites.
Known Issues:
- The dialog box text in the Settings menu will start moving down more and more after you add attractions. This is not actually an issue with this specific mod, but rather many mods that have menus in general, and it has occurred since one of the latest game patches. I’m sure will eventually be fixed, but it’s pretty low priority since all you have to do is reopen the menu.
- When automating a Sim’s physical traits based on their CAS data, a Sim’s eyebrow hair color will sometimes be chosen as their hair color instead of their head hair color if the two are different. This is an issue with how the Sims 4 assigns tags; both eyebrow hair and head hair colors use the head hair color tags, and I only allow automation of physical traits to assign one hair color to a Sim. The fix for this right now is to set their hair color manually if you see it chose the eyebrow color instead. Sims 4 tags also have other weird issues: see extra screenshots of this with the hair and eye color examples in the screenshots at the top of this post.
Note:
Some of the Sims 4’s tags are wildly inaccurate. For one particularly bad example, the game labels both red and purple eyes as “amber” eyes (I don’t even
). There’s more detail in the two CAS screenshots included in the pictures section above, but right now the only fix is to set these strangely-tagged ones manually (the full list of hair and eye colors and EA’s versus my tags is in those screenies).
Description:
The Sims is a game we know and love for its ability to engross us in making lives of our own full choosing and control, but let’s face it: for many of us, it doesn’t really feel real in certain aspects of the vanilla game. One of the biggest of these for me is the romance, or rather, the lack thereof! When Sims touch and kiss, they barely get closer to each other for more than a second! C’mon, who the heck hugs their partner like that?! Things like this mean it often feels like the game treats romance as a side-gimmick rather than a real and fully-fleshed-out part of life, and I find myself feeling dissatisfied with how the Sims I have who are supposed to be completely head-over-heels for each other are just…coexisting lukewarmly. I aim to be part of what changes that, with a mixture of attractions, affinities/compatibilities, and opinions your Sim has to/about other Sims, among many other features!
So I felt like creating a mod that makes romance a thing in the Sims that people can connect with, one that’s best made possible through a unique union of code, animation, and storytelling!
