Motive Custom Preferences
This brings a new preference category for Motives.Â
Likes for faster decay and slower gain for the motives. Dislikes for slower decay and faster gain for the motives. This also impacts Sims' autonomy to take care of the motives.
This small set of preferences serves similar game functions as my Metabolism Reward Traits. I will keep that reward trait pack since some of you may prefer the old way of affecting the motives with actual traits and for any external mod dependencies.Â
This custom preference set won't override my other trait packs.Â
**Base game compatible. No other requirement!* Compatible with any other mods.Â

Changelogs
Mar 29, 2024:
Mod Released
A quick update to put Immune System and Tanning in separate Addon packages so that you may remove them if you don't have those packs and don't want them to occupy your CAS. (They give no game effects if you don't have the packs).
I switched the Likes & Dislikes for Weight, Muscles, and Tanning to fit better the category description. I also moved Plant Sims' Water from Thirst to Occult Needs.
