S4 -- The "Deathless Lover" Mod

Inspired by my Twilight Mod, this mod only takes that mod's revenge cycle and permanent love features, whether one is polyamorous or monogamous.

I don't remember who, but a long time ago, someone (maybe 2 diff ones) requested me to create a polyamorous-friendly version of my Twilight Mod while another asked for just the murder and devotion stuff. As the Twilight mod was for...Twilight gameplay, I deigned to do so.

NEW RELATIONSHIPS

"Paramour"
I've imagined "Paramour" as similar to my Twilight Mod's "Mate" relationship, except sims can have multiple paramours at once IF you don't make them "Monogamous"(more below).

They are a vampire's most important and eternal lover who they prioritize over everyone else, including themselves.

Sims can become paramours through the interactions:

"Offer Eternal Devotion" (the vampire’s interaction under "Relationship")
"Ask for Forever" (the non-vampiric sim's interaction under "Relationship"; werewolves excluded)
They also automatically become Romantic Partners/Boyfriends/Girlfriends after said interactions, if they aren't already, Engaged, or Married. Paramours can never break up or divorce! Werewolves and vampires cannot become paramours of each other due to some weird, unexpected glitches.



Messing with Paramours

If a vampiric sim decides to either drink from or fight another sim's paramour, the violent vampire, any existing paramour of that violent vampire, and the paramour of the target will all have their relationship decrease!



Paramours' Deaths

Werewolves, Vampires, and others can now all die: "Death by Vampire Attack". However, vampires can longer die of anything except sun Exposure and the new death.

Werewolves and vamps dies by murdering each other this way, while others will die this way by way of a vamp draining them through the "Drain" interaction.

After a paramour's murder, vampiric sims will become enraged and have the urge to take violent revenge if their paramour was killed by another vampiric/wolfy sim! (If they were present at their death, same town/world.) They will also get depressed and stay so forever...until they themselves die.

Nonvampiric sims cannot take revenge and will only get sad for a limited time (17 days). It will be next to impossible for them to consider other sims as a new romantic partner during their mourning, but it is possible.

After a paramour 's murder, there will be five new relationships in a "murder pentagon":

“Kill”--The sim who a vampiric sim kills through fights or drinking.
“Paramour's Killer”--The murderer of a vampiric sim's paramour .
“Paramour of Kill”--The paramour of a vampiric sim's murder victim.
“Paramour of Your Paramour's Killer”--The paramour of the sim who murdered a vampiric sim's paramour. (The lover of the one who killed your lover.)
“Paramour of Your Paramour's Kill”--The paramour of the sim who was murdered by a vampiric sim's paramour. (The lover of the person your lover killed.)


Example

If Adelaide is a paramour of Jonesy,

and Letisha a paramour of Ryū,

and Adelaide kills Ryū,

......then:

• Ryū becomes a "Kill" to Marsha,
• Letisha becomes the "Paramour of Kill" for Adelaide ,
• Adelaide becomes the "Paramour's Killer" for Nathan,
• Jonesy becomes the "Paramour of Your Paramour's Killer" for Letisha,
• And Letisha becomes the "Paramour of Paramour's Kill" for Jonesy.

OTHER INTERACTIONS

Vampires can:

• Try to kill each other in fights with the interactions:
  “Attack!”
  "Fight to the Death!"
• Take violent revenge for their "Paramour’s death with the Interaction "Avenge Dead Paramour!"
• Mock sims who have lost a paramour and it was either them or their paramour who killed them (very simple, alpha/beginning version for later series of stuff to add)

And all sims (except Werewolves), can:

• choose to become Monogamous--or not have multiple Paramours at once--by going under "Actions" and clicking "Want Only One Paramour". Werewolves are excluded.
• select which vampires will become monogamous through the "Monogamy" interaction (which automatically filters for sims who will be jealous for EVERY sort of romantic or se#$al interaction on the exclusivity scale); if there is only one sim that qualifies, the SimPicker interaction will just read: "Have Vamp Ever Only Want One Paramour"

VERY IMPORTANT!!!! -- You MUST do this AFTER becoming anyone's paramour. If you do it before, the paramour interactions will not be available anymore (this was on purpose).



Interaction: “Attack!”

A vampiric or wolfy sim can instigate a fight out of nowhere and aim to kill their target. If they fail, they won't die, but it'd be a stressful experience!



Even Deadlier Vampire Fights

Through “Fight to the Death!”, one of the vampiric or werewolf sims will have an even higher chance of dying if they lose! Like...much higher.



Interaction: “Avenge Dead Paramour!”

If a vampiric sim succeeds in killing their paramour's murderer, the attacking vampiric sim will no longer need revenge. The murder pentagon cycles again, according to who killed who...

And it all continues until every relevant sim is dead or the last sim stands!
