 Say Thanks!
MAJOR UPDATE 8/7/24: This fix is now compatible with the Lovestruck EP patch, and has also been updated to use MizoreYukii's Custom VFX Resource to avoid conflicts with other custom vfx. Additionally, the scared effect in live mode now has the appropriate color for the scared mood! You must delete the previous mod versions for your mods folder.

-------------------------------------
Hi again MTS! Haven't uploaded anything here since way way back in the TS2 days, but I wanted to share a little fix I put together for TS4.

A year ago when the Scared buff was added to the game, the Sims team added a scared expression for the servos' face screens in their portraits, but it looks like they forgot to add it to the servos themselves in-game. This mod fixes this oversight and gives servos a proper expression when they're scared.
The scared buff is supposed to use the sad buff expression for servos, so I made this show up when they're scared. But they still had tears showing on the screen which didn't feel appropriate, so then I used denton47's TS4 VFX Tool to make a different version of this expression without the tears.

There are two package files in the download: ServoScaredFix for the fix and ScaredServoNoTears for the new expression. Both files must be in the Mods folder in order for the fix to work. (I had tried merging the files into one package but it didn't work that way)
The mod has been updated to use MizoreYukii's Custom VFX Resource to avoid conflicts with other custom vfx. This is a required download which you can get here: https://www.curseforge.com/sims4/mo...om-vfx-resource
Be sure to check for updates to this package in the future if it's not working right. You also must delete the previous package versions of this mod.
As a bonus, the scared face on servos has been changed to have the appropriate color of the scared mood! (I tried to fix this for the UI pose as well, but that seems to be hard-coded unfortunately)
Massive thanks to MizoreYukii helping to add this effect to her Custom VFX resource and for helping me get the color fixed as well!

The following XML resources were changed:
0C772E27!0000001D!00000000000379E8.loot_Humanoid_Robots_Buffs_EmotionVFX_Add
0C772E27!0000001D!0000000000037DCD.loot_Humanoid_Robots_Buffs_EmotionVFX_Angry_Social
And a new resource was created based on the sad expression, buff_Humanoid_Robots_MoodVFX_Sad, but this shouldn't conflict.
