Diary Writing Changes

This is a pack of 3 mods that fix or modify the bookcase Write in Diary interaction.

Diary writing fixes mod
With this mod, a Sim:

• aborts the interaction immediately when the player cancels it and the Sim is still walking towards the bookcase. In an unmodified game, a Sim sits down and writes a few lines in their diary before aborting the interaction.
• no longer tries to write in their diary autonomously when their fun level is high enough to stop the interaction immediately – thus avoiding a loop of starting and quitting,
• no longer starts writing in their diary autonomously when someone is nearby and it would cause the Sim to hide their diary immediately.
• no longer hides their diary when a baby, a toddler, a ghost, the Therapist, a magical assistant, a flying bird, a penguin, a robot (except for servos), or a remote-controlled toy is nearby.
• logic tweaks version only:
  
  • can choose to write in their diary autonomously in order to fulfill their social need, especially when they're shy. In an unmodified game, only the fun need is considered even though the interaction fulfills the social need as well.
    
  • can write in their diary autonomously only on a residential lot, in a fraternity, in a dormitory, or in their own apartment.

Diary writing need tweaks mod
This mod changes how the Write in Diary interaction affects Sims' needs.
If you want to use it, I strongly recommend using the diary writing fixes mod as well.

Motive	Original values	This mod's values	Comment
Fun	20 per hour, up to 100	20 per hour, up to 50	I think it can only reduce stress to a certain extent. The maximum fun for painting is 70, for example.
Comfort	20 per hour, up to 100	10 per hour, up to 20	Sitting on the floor doesn't seem very comfortable. For the cheapest chair in the base game, PatioPlastics Dining Chair, it's 20 per hour, up to 25.
Social	10 per hour, up to 100	20 per hour, up to 50	The original value hardly affects the social need, even after hours of writing. Also, since it's only a substitute for social interactions, I don't think it should be able to fully satisfy the social need.

Motive bars range from -100 (empty red bar) to 100 (full green bar).

Diary writing builds creativity mod
With this mod, a Sim who writes in their diary also builds their creativity skill:

• the gain rate is the same as the rate of painting or novel writing (150%),
• shy Sims build their skill faster, just like when painting (up to 100 percentage points),
• when a Sim gains a point of the skill, a dialog appears ([Sim] has gained a point of Creativity skill from the Diary.) – translations are included.
