Hi again!
This time I made a mod that adds a bunch of cheaty interactions on sims. With them you'll be able to better manage sims motives, quickly create and edit a group without having to talk to each of sims, change reputation and much more.
Screenshots, features and tuning guide
See it all under spoilers below.
Version history
v1.3.4 - Small changes to existing features: you can now reject an incoming call by clicking on any sim who has a ringing phone, not just the active one; "Freeze Motives" feature should now work better; the list of possible callers now includes all sims who can call the active sim, not just acquaintances; and a few other minor tweaks. Happy 15th anniversary to The Sims 3! 🥳
v1.3.3 - Removed some restrictions for the use of some interactions. Added Italian translation.
v1.3.2 - "Go Home" feature will now appear for sims who live in skyscrapers and are currently at home but outside their apartments (in public rooms). "Stay overnight" feature is now also available for sims from inactive households. More interactions have been added to the "Social" category. Added Portuguese translation.
v1.3.1 - Fix for a rare problem with adding a cheat.
v1.3 - Mod has turned one year old! A good reason to update it a bit. A couple of new features (details under "New Features" spoiler), minor changes and Polish translation are already here.
Translations
Mod has 51 lines for translation and currently available in the following languages:
For other languages, English strings will be shown.
New translations are always welcomed! To help with translation - download archive for translators, open text file and translate every line, which is limited by <STR> tags, then send result to comments or to me in pm. Thanks!
Compatibility and conflicts
I tested my mod on game version 1.67, but I think it can work on 1.63+ too.
No conflicts have been discovered yet.

All modders who wrote scripting tutorials, without them this mod would never have appeared.

Screenshots, features and tuning guide
See it all under spoilers below.
First of all, I would like to point out that all of new interactions (except the Reject a Phone Call) are only available when Testing Cheats is enabled. But you don't need to click on the sim with Shift key (although I would like to do this, but didn't figure out how). This behavior can be turned off via tuning if you don't like it. Instructions are under the "Tuning the mod via S3PE" spoiler.
So, the list of functions:
So, the list of functions:
- Date/Group
Interactions from this category allow you to quickly create a group, add/remove sims from it or start/end a date. Sims who leave a date/group this way will be left with a neutral mood. - Interactions > Cancel All/Current Interaction(s)
It does exactly what the interaction name suggests. - Interactions > Go Home (Return to Grave)
Allows you to send chosen sim to home or, if it is a ghost NPC, back to the grave. - Interactions > Show Interactions Queue
Displays a list of sim's interactions as a notification. - Interactions > Chores...
Interactions from this category allow you to get sim to cook a random meal, sleep, clean up, or fix broken things in the current lot as if they were your roommates (University Life EP is not required). Sims can use fridge, grill (only for NPCs on community lots), toy oven (only for childs), and food synthesizer from Into the Future EP. - Interactions > Social...
You probably know the "Convince To..." category of interactions that are available at bars and parties? Mod includes these interactions as well, they are almost always available and you don't need to convince sims. - Motives > Freeze/Unfreeze motives
Freeze and unfreeze sims motive values when you need it. When you perform this interaction, you'll also get a pop-up asking whether you want to maximize the motives before freezing them. - Motives > Motives Adjustment
You can also tune the values of the most important motives. Of course, this interaction is only available when the sim's needs are not frozen. - Motives > Motives Info
This option calls the EA debug function that outputs the log with information about all selected sim's motives, including hidden ones. It is also present in NRaas DebugEnabler. - Reputation > Clear Reputation
Now you can forget about the "Clean Slate" lifetime reward, because this mod can do the same without having to mess around with happiness points... - Reputation > Choose Reputation
...And that's not all! Now you can also choose the type of reputation you want. In this case the relationship statistics will not be cleared. - Attach Camera
Make the game camera follow any sim you want, as if you clicked the "View My Sim" button. - Banish Sim
You need to banish a sim from the lot, but there are no genies nearby? No problem, justcreate a new oneuse this option. It works the same way, teleporting the selected sim to a random community lot, doesn't spoil the relationship between the sims and doesn't require Showtime EP. - Call Me/Get a Call From
Selected sim will call your active sim to chat about his/her wonderful (or not so) life.
If you use this function on the active sim - it will open a dialog to select the caller. - Come to Me
Selected sim will go to your active sim, even if he/she is on the other side of town! - Invite to Stay Over
Selected sim will stay overnight at your home. If sim not there yet, he/she will go to your house immediately. - Open Inventory
Yep, it's another function that works similarly to DebugEnabler. It opens the inventory of the active and target sims, similar to how you view the inventory of a chest, bookcase, etc. Unfortunately, the game doesn't allow to take items from inactive sims one at a time, but you can always take everything or give your items. - Reject a Phone Call
Allows you to reject an incoming call by clicking on the sim instead of his/her phone. - Sim Info
An option similar to Motives Info, but displaying debugging information about the sim. - Soft Reset
Soft Reset uses the EA function to reset the sim as a game object. The reset option from DebugEnabler does the same. Resetting a sim via resetsim cheat or Master Controller is more drastic, and, for example, can break an active party. Resetting an object, on the other hand, will simply cancel all interactions and maybe move sim model slightly (although in some rare cases the sim may end up at home). - Teleport to Me
Mod will try to find the nearest empty place from active sim and teleport the selected sim there. - Update Sim Thumbnail
Selected sim's icons will be refreshed in the relationship panel, family tree, map, etc.
- Interactions > Cancel Posture
In addition to interactions, the mod can now also cancel postures. For example, when the sim is sitting on a chair. - Reputation > Open Biography
View and change sims' biographies without having to switch to them. - Stay Overnight
An analog of the "Invite to Stay Over" function, working in the reversed direction. When sim is in another residental lot, you can click on it and select the "Stay Overnight" function. In this way, that sim will stay overnight where he/she is.
You've never used S3PE before? No problem, just follow these steps:
- Download and extract the archive with the mod.
- Install and run S3PE.
- Go to menu File > Open and open the previously unpacked mod file.
- Find the "Knight.SimControlTools" resource with _XML format (look at the "tag" column), right click on it and select "Notepad" (the very last menu item).
- Notepad will open with the settings file. To enable the permanent display of all interactions you need to change "False" to "True" for the kAlwaysDisplayInteractions setting:
Code:...kAlwaysDisplayInteractions value = "True"/...
- After making changes, close the notepad window and agree to save the file.
- Next, S3PE will ask if you want to update the file ("Resource has been updated. Commit changes?"). Click "yes".
- In S3PE, go to the File menu again and click Save.
- Close S3PE and install the mod as usual (put its file in Mods/Packages). Everything is ready, you're breathtaking!
