simler90 Tuning Add-on

◀

▶

simler90’s Gameplay Core Mod fixes many bugs and oversights in the game, however, some of them work better together with tweaks not included in the core mod.

I’ve put the necessary resources in one single file, and provide some information about the changes from simler90’s mind.

While this mod was created to complement simler90’s core mod, it does not necessarily depend on it.

Please note that…

simler90 was the one who pointed out the exact resources and values to look for and modify, I will not take credit for that and they are only written here to facilitate the understanding of the changes in comparison to an unmodded game, and to make it a little easier for inexperienced S3PE who find it confusing to search through the text of all the core mod updates for instructions..

I will stop doing this if it’s wrong, please tell simler90 that I’m sorry if I have bothered them.

Please don’t thank me, thank simler90 instead…

Values

Minimum Funds

• EA: 500
• Me: 250
  The minimum amount of simoleons that an inactive household can have.
  USAGE: This is complemented by simler90’s “SimulateBudgetForInactives”, which changes the family funds of inactive households to balance the game. On by default.
  TUNING: In “Household_0xa9ba9a66e6364a5e” change te value of “kMinFamilyFunds” or delete the resource if you don’t need it.

Mourning Debuff

  The relationship level required with a deceased sim not living in the same household to receive the Mourning Debuff.

  A combination of settings to make Story Progression’s demographic choices more random. More information at simler90’s post.
  USAGE: This is complemented by simler90’s Demographic Draws Fix, which fixes a problem that causes the game to waste demographic draws unnecessarily making Story Progression almost unable to do anything. Integrated into the core mod.
  TUNING: In “Demographics_0x0915b951121e2690” change te value of “kDemographicChoiceTemperature”, “kActionsScoreFriction”, “kSelectedDemographicAttenuation” and “kNumDemographicDraws” or delete the resource if you don’t want this.

Distant Genealogy Purge

• EA: 3 / 1 respectively
• Me: 10 / 5 respectively
  This is the number of genealogy links that are preserved for living and dead sims when the game purges them every night.
  USAGE: This is complemented by simler90’s “PurgeDistantGenealogyRelations”, which makes this maintenance routine optional to prevent the game from unlinking sims when it shouldn’t. Off by default.
  TUNING: In “SimDescription_0x2f781fbc26bb4d8a” change te value of “kPreservedGenealogyLinksForLivingSims” and “kPreservedGenealogyLinksForDeadSims” or delete the resource if you left “PurgeDistantGenealogyRelations” set to False.

  TUNING: In “Idles” change te value of “SmartPhoneIdles”, “FuturePhoneIdles” and “Photography_idle”. This resource was left here in case you need it, I recommend deleting it since probably some Idle mod in your game makes use of this resource.
