Less Social Autonomy

I got a suggestion to reduce chatting but there is no way to do it with only editing one or two game tunings because there are many values in the game affecting social autonomy. So, this mod is to simply inject a buff to all Sims to lower Social Autonomy globally.

  • This doesn't edit any game tunings so you can use this together with ALL of the other mods. However, be reminded that this multiplier will have more extreme or subtle effects when you use it with many other mods relating to socials.

  • "Reduce" only. I do not guarantee that AlmostNoSocialAutonomy stops ALL social interactions, especially those for Holiday traditions, Parenthood, or Lifestyles added in packs.

  • This WON'T stop Sims from having sex from WW or any other custom social interactions that are not using the interaction_category_tags from EA.

  • Keep in mind that Sims are naturally very social so if you use AlmostNoSocialAutonomy, NPC sims may stand and do nothing if they don't have other things to occupy themselves with.

** Base-Game Compatible ** Choose only ONE package you need.

Three Options to Choose

SocialSlightlyLess won't affect group cooking but lower the autonomy of other social interactions.

SocialMuchLess (recommended) lowers the autonomy of group cooking AND other social interactions a bit more.

AlmostNoSocialAutonomy (not recommended) lowers the autonomy of group cooking AND other social interactions even more AND Lock Social motive and Toddler Attention motive decay.

How the Value Changed

In case you are wondering what values are set.

SocialSlightlyLess has interaction_score_modifier to multiply many social interactions other than cooking by x0.8, lower the intention to take care of the social motive by x0.6, and slower the decays of social needs (x0.85) and toddler attention needs (x0.8).

SocialMuchLess has interaction_score_modifier to multiply owers the autonomy of group cooking AND other social interactions by x0.3, lower the intention to take care of the social motive to x0.1, and slower the decays of social needs (x0.65) and toddler attention needs (x0.45).

AlmostNoSocialAutonomy multiplies Sims' intention to do various social interactions, including cooking together by 0.1. It lowers the intention to take care of social motive to very low (x0.01). It also locks social and toddler attention motives decay, and always maximizes their social and toddler attention motives.

None of the game resources are edited.

  • This means there should be no conflicting mod technically. However, be reminded that this multiplier will have more extreme or subtle effects when you use it with many other mods relating to socials.
