Age Group Custom Preferences

This brings a new preferences category of Age Groups.

I do this because I feel like Sims should have more unique preferences in their social aspect. I also don't like that there is only a Hate Children "trait" and none for liking or for other age groups.

This is my first attempt to do a social attraction system with the preferences.

I would like to do a trait-based attraction system with this technique.

I will share more about my future plan in detail in the patrons' cafe on Discord and ask for your opinions on this.

  • Sims will have their own reactions, autonomy, faster and slower relationships built with other Sims depending on their own Age, Preferences, and Relationship Levels with the other Sims.

  • You can pick and choose any of the custom preferences in CAS.

**Base game compatible. No other requirement!** Compatible with any other mods.
