Less Zits
Merry Fishmas teens of the Simworld! With this present, you're all guaranteed to have smoother skin, better self-esteem and less zit cream costs! Put your money to better use, and stop worrying that horrible zits will burst out all over your face right before that special date.
What is this?
This is a global mod that lowers the hygiene threshold below which zits could appear. I'd like to start out with a disclaimer that hygiene has nothing to do with zits in real life, and that I disagree with EA suggesting it's the individuals fault they get zits. But that's the system EA made and I'm going to work with it.
In original coding Sim teens are at risk of getting zits if their hygiene drops below 75%, so less than 3/4 full hygiene bar. I think that's rather ridiculous, because that means they are at risk of zits if they do any kind of exercise or have to rush off to their job straight after school without showering in between. I think zits are a fun addition but I don't want every single teen to get them, so I decided it was high time to lower the hygiene threshold to give the teens a chance to keep their faces clean if it matters to them.
There are two variations on offer
Less zits
Teens won't be at risk of zits unless their hygiene bar goes below half full. This intended for those of you that like zits, but would like to see them a little less frequently. And if a specific teen wants to avoid zits they can do so by taking a little extra care of hygiene, while still having room to exercise a bit.
Almost no zits
Teens won't be at risk of zits unless their hygiene bar is completely drained. This is intended for those of you that would like to see no zits at all. There's still a small risk, but as long as you stay away from babies throwing up on your Sim you should be able to avoid zits. While possible to make it a true 0% chance it'd be more complicated and take more work, so I decided that this was a good compromise.
Compatibility
Compatible with all EPs and SPs. Does not require any EP in particular, works with base game.
Conflicts
None that I am aware of. Will only conflict with mods affecting hygiene threshold for zits.
How to edit
If you'd like the hygiene threshold to be different than what I offer here, you can easily change it yourself with SimPE.
1. Click Tuning - Zits in Resource List
2. Click the line 0x0 Average Hygiene for Zits in Plugin View
3. In the Dec box, enter the hygiene value you want the threshold to be at
4. Click commit
5. Save your changes
If for some reason you can't edit it yourself and you'd like a different threshold than what I offer, you are welcome to ask me for help. Anyone is capable of doing it themselves, and I encourage you to try, but I know not everyone has SimPE and that it may be overwhelming to some, so I'm happy to help you out if you can't do it yourself.

About Me
--- No longer sharing content on MTS ---
I hope to return one day but for now consider me retired, and my uploads unsupported. I still share things sometimes on tumblr and I chat on discord servers, but I do not promise support for things I've shared as I don't know when or if I'm around and whether or not I'll have the ability and energy to do something if I am around.
If you ever downloaded something of mine, thank you! It's a great feeling seeing something you spent time on be useful to someone else in their game, and with all the great CC out there I'm very flattered you would choose to get something of mine.
I do not take requests. I do sometimes make things for people, but only when I see someone wishing for something on the forums and I feel like making it for them. So if you have a mod you wish would exist, make a post in Hacks and CC that you'd like to see!-thread. That's what it's there for after all! :)
A shoutout to VioletPadfoot for inspiring me to try creating, long ago. You gave me the nudge that got me started, and I'm very grateful. I'd also like to thank all of the wonderful experienced creators (gdayars, justJones, maybesomethingdunno, NixNivis, whoward69, HugeLunatic and many more) out there that wrote the tutorials I've used, or that has answered my questions when I've gotten stuck. You guys are what makes learning fun, and what inspires me to keep expanding my knowledge with new projects. Special thanks to Michelle who has helped me a lot when it comes to objects and recolors, and BoilingOil who taught me some modding basics that I needed when I started modding more seriously.
Policy
My policy is now open. I'd appreciate a message telling me about your work, because it's fun for me to see, and it means I know about it and can refer others to it if they reach out. As much as I would like to provide support for my own work, my health is too unstable and I have to prioritize. So if anyone else would like to fix problems or continue something and share it with others, that's great go forth :) If you can learn from my work or improve on it, wonderful. Welcome to ask questions on crafters, if I can I'll answer.
I'd appreciate if people do not share default replacements from my stuff as I do not like default replacements, but I can't stop you anyway so no point in acting like I could. If you want to respect my wishes, I appreciate it, if you don't care then well nothing I can do about it.
Other sites
Only share content on tumblr now. Still retired though so probably nothing, but if something new comes out, that's where it'll be. You can find it linked here on my profile.
