Custom Needs Decay
This is a replacement mod for https://modthesims.info/d/606792/hg...eeds-decay.html and https://modthesims.info/d/632100/sl...78-58-1030.html or similar mods which are outdated by now.
It checks for allĀ² tunings regarding needs decay and modifies the value for each tuning.
allĀ²: All I could think of, starting with 'commodity_Motive_' or 'motive_'.
Even though I don't own all DLC the names hopefully address all DLCs. If not please let me know which tunings are missing.
Installation
Make sure to install Live XML as this mod requires it.
Then extract this zip file to 'The Sims 4'. It should create the file 'The Sims 4/mod_data/live_xml/variable_need_decay.dict'.
Optional changes
If you want to have faster or slower needs decay you need to edit the installed file.
Use Notepad++ or run '%windir%\system32\notepad.exe' and open then the 'variable_need_decay.dict' file.
In line 10 you will see `' assign: divisor = 2',` and with the value of 2 the needs will decay 2 times slower.
Set this value to 3 or 10 if the needs decay too fast for you.
Setting it to 0.1 will increase the need decay speed and sims may die fast. Don't do this! (;
Do not remove the 4 spaces before 'assign' or you will break this mod!
No Need Decay Mod
Setting the 'divisor' to '0' is a bad idea. To disable need decay do the following.
Disable this mod by moving 'The Sims 4/mod_data/live_xml/variable_needs_decay.dict' to 'The Sims 4/mod_documentation/live_xml/variable_needs_decay.dict'.
Enable the 'No Needs Decay' mod by moving 'The Sims 4/mod_documentation/live_xml/no_needs_decay.dict' to 'The Sims 4/mod_data/live_xml/no_needs_decay.dict'.
There are other interactions which increase some needs/motives - this mod does not cover 100%.
PS: If you move both mods to 'mod_data' either one or the other will be used.
Updates
This mod itself will likely never need an update, I have no intentions to update it every 4 weeks when EA releases an update or a new pack and there is likely no need to do this.
Live XML will get updates to increase the speed to process tunings much faster. As it is a pure script mod it will not very likely not break with TS4 updates.
