This mod for The Sims 3 grants your imaginary friends all new new powers. From turning into mini dolls at will to projecting imaginary hallucinations, your imaginary friends can now truly wield the powers of imagination.
I've always felt that imaginary friends were very boring to play as, seeing as their only ability is that they can transform into a giant doll, but this mod changes that.

Minor Update 2024-01-30: Fixed a bug with the imagination charm moodlet.
Minor Update 2024-02-23: Fixed another minor bug with the imagination charm moodlet.
Minor Update 2024-07-29: The hallucination creation ability is no longer autonomous, this can be changed in the tuning files.

Details
Here is a list of all the powers:

Most of them are listed in game under "Imaginary Friend..."

- Turn Into Doll:
Imaginary friends can turn into mini dolls at will. This can be done anywhere at anytime. Doing this will slowly replenish their energy need. They will stay in this form until their energy need is full or you cancel the interaction.


- Teleport:
They can teleport by turning into a doll which will then teleport to their target location.

- Charms And Jinxes:
Imaginary friends can charm and jinx people. This can be done in two ways. The first is by clicking on the target sim and select to charm or jinx. The imaginary friend will then snap their fingers and the target will be charmed/jinxed. The second is to click on the imaginary friend themself and select the charm/jinx. The imaginary friend will then turn into a doll and rise into the air, releasing a shockwave of magic that will apply the charm/jinx to all nearby sims. These can also be removed by the imaginary friend.
- Imagination Charm: This charm will make the target very childish and playful for a short duration. They will temporarily have very colorful hair and laugh a lot. Inactive sims will temporarily receive a bunch of toys in their inventory to play with, these will be removed after the charm is over.
- Tragic Clown Jinx: If you have Supernatural installed, you can perform this jinx. The target will become a tragic clown for a short duration, crying a lot and making nearby sims cry as well.


- Hallucinations:
Imaginary friends can create hallucinations of themselves to have around as temporary friends or taunt other sims. These hallucinations will only exist for a short time, about three sim hours. If you create hallucinations while in giant toy form, the hallucinations will also appear in toy form.
To create hallucinations that will stick around for a little bit, click on your imaginary friend and select "Create Hallucination Of Self". You can interact with them as with any other sim.
To have a hallucination taunt another sim, click on that sim and select "Create Taunting Hallucination". A Hallucination will appear and taunt that sim and quickly disappear. Coward sims especially hate this.
Hallucinations can also be removed anytime by the one who created them.


-Dancing In Doll Form:
You can click on any stereo and have them dance in doll form. This will quickly fill their fun need.


- Making Stuffed Animals Dance
Imaginary friends can make stuffed animals dance. This will slowly fill their fun need.


- Relaxing Anywhere:
They can relax anywhere at anytime. You can do this by clicking on them and selecting "Relax". They will then hover in a relaxing position for a while or until you cancel the interaction. This will very slowly increase their fun and energy need.


Children can perform all of these powers except for relaxing anywhere and making stuffed animals dance.
You only need supernatural for the tragic clown jinx power, if you don't have it installed then the interaction won't appear.
University Life and Into The Future are used for some sound effects, but they are not necessary for the mod to function, hence why they are not listed as required.

Tuning
This mod contains tuning files where you can adjust the autonomy of these interactions.
