No Relationship Decay for Multiple Sims with Beloved Trait

No Relationship Decay for Multiple Sims with Beloved Trait

Latest 06/06/2015:

This modifies the lot loading routines to automatically check and reapply the decay rate modifiers for all played Sims who have the Beloved Trait. Previously, if there's more than one Sim having this trait, relationships will stop decaying only for one lucky Sim.

The earlier mod patch works only for the current active household. It should now work for any played household (multiple households).

The current patch also fixes not being able to remove the Beloved trait properly for more than one Sim using the console cheat: traits.remove_trait Legendary. Previously, if you have the Simology panel opened, you will notice only one lucky Sim can have the Beloved trait removed properly.

To update to the latest, just replace the previous .zip with the latest file.

The mod comes with the following additional console commands:

rlocka 1

Locks relationships for all Beloved in household

rlocka 0

Unlocks relationships for all Beloved in household

rlock <first name> <last name> 1

Locks relationships for Sim

rlock <first name> <last name> 0

Unlocks relationships for Sim

glock <first name> <last name>

Gets decay rate modifiers for Sim to others

You don't need to enable testingcheats to use the above commands.

The locking of relationships using rlock and glock from the console does not require the Beloved Trait. However, it is not permanent. It works only for the current session. If you change lots in manage world, travel to another lot, return from CAS after changing outfits etc, you have to reapply the lock if the Sim does not have the Beloved Trait.

If you want to have relationships for a Sim locked permanently (saved), just ensure that Sim has the Beloved trait.

Installation and Compatibility

Simply copy, do not unzip, the zip file into your game Mods folder. This is a script mod, so scripting must be enabled in your game options.

This mod is tested to be compatible with Windows version of the game up to patch 1.7.65.1020 (see GameVersion.txt)

If you can't wait for the next pack and have already updated to the latest patch, you can troubleshoot as follows

Known Issues

When unlocking relationships using rlock, one lucky Sim will need to have this applied a few (2~3) times.
