Ven's Self Talk Mod

TLDR: A script mod that lets ALL sims talk to themselves! (Not just the sims with the Insane trait!)

-----

UPDATE June 6 2025:

I have updated the mod so that Insane Sims will not get the Self Talk option (since they can already Talk to Self).

UPDATE April 22 2025: OH MY GOSH I'm a silly goober. I uploaded the wrong file. The new one should just contain the package file. Thank you!

Have you ever wanted to play on a desert island? Or maybe you're doing a runaway teen challenge?

I definitely have! But unfortunately, there's this little motive called "Social". When a Sim's social and fun motives get too low, they can't do a darn thing! Well not anymore!

This mod adds a touch of realism to your Sims 3 playthrough! With the Self Talk mod, sims can talk to themselves WITHOUT the insane trait! It's a fact of life that many people talk to themselves day to day, so why can't our sims do it too?

Now, they can talk to themselves, and have a little fun and social motive boost to go with it! (Though they may still LOOK a bit odd doing it! haha

I hope you enjoy this mod!

Notes:

* This is my first ever mod, especially script modding, and while others have said it runs fine in their worlds, please keep me appraised of any issues

* The duration of the self-talk interaction should not last too long, and the boosts to social and fun shouldn't be too high or too low. I adjusted to make it non-autonomous due to issues with everyone in town talking to themselves instead of other people (whoops! haha) So if you still notice this behavior, please let me know.

* The animation it uses is still the Insane Trait animation as I couldn't quite figure out how to change that without it breaking. If you are a modder and have any tips on that regard, please feel free to let me know!
