————————————–

The Personality Mod is the first larger mod I’ve made for The Sims 4. It adds 12 reward traits to the Reward Store. Each of these traits are inspired by the six Aspirations from Sims 2: Family, Fortune, Knowledge, Pleasure, Popularity and Romance and there are primary and secondary versions of each (described below).

• XML Injector~ This makes the traits show up in the reward store. Don’t worry; the XML Injector doesn’t add anything to your game, it just allows this mod to work as intended.You need at least Version 3.
• Lot51’s Core Library ~ This enables the traits to be used with the Social Compatibility system. It doesn’t add anything to the game, it just allows the mod to work as intended.
• Custom Wants Mod~ This is a loader mod for all my custom wants, so if you want my new custom-made wants, you’ll need to download this too.

Each Primary trait costs 0 Satisfaction Points, so you can add the traits to newly created sims, straight out of Create-A-Sim. Secondary Traits cost 50 satisfaction points.

Each trait has it’s own set of Wants and those wants are directly inspired by the appropriate Wants from Sims 2. Because of this, the reward traits act like a base personality and influence the wants your Sim puts in.
For example, a Fortune Sim may wish to own their own business; a Family Sim may want to have a baby or adopt a dog; A Knowledge Sim will be curious about the supernatural etc.
The traits do not have any Buffs or interactions associated with them; just wants.

The Aspiration Addon Package

In the separate addon package, there are three new traits: Grilled Cheese, Power and Creativity, due to popular request. These areNOTessential but more an optional extra, should you want them. These also have Primary and Secondary versions.

The Wants

While there were some excellent wants available to suit each trait, I felt like many were missing. As a result, I set about creating my own. The Custom Wants Mod contains dozens of new wants and many have been assigned to the traits from The Personality mod. Among those wants are several wants for individual careers. Each of those wants will only turn up if a Sim has certain traits or skills, so they won’t be random.

Once again, the new wants are based on Wants from Sims 2 and should line up fairly nicely.

Primary And Secondary Traits

With the 1st February 2023 update, I added the option of having primary and secondary traits. Previously, you could add as many as you like to simulate this but now, you can have one of each.
In the reward store, each trait now denotes if it’s a primary or secondary trait. Primary traits still cost 0 satisfaction points; secondary traits cost 50 points.

The main difference here is that Wants from Primary traits have greater priority over Wants from Secondary traits.

Randomisation

If you don’t want to choose the personality trait for your Sims, you can randomise it.
With cheats enabled, shift + click on your Sim to bring up an interaction to Randomise Primary Trait and Randomise Secondary trait inside The Personality Mod. This will be calculated based on your Sim’s aspiration, traits and preferences and should therefore provide you with a personality trait that fits your Sim.

This mod doesn’t conflict with any other mods at this time.

This mod is Base Game Compatible.
The traits are all integrated with the social compatibility system:
Family Sim ~ Family-Motivated Sims
Fortune Sim ~ Hard-Working Sims
Knowledge Sim ~ Cerebral Sims
Pleasure Sim ~ High-Energy Sims
Popularity Sim ~ Spirited Sims
Romance Sim ~ Romance-Enthusiasts
Creativity Sim ~ Idealist Sims
Power Sim ~ Hard-Working Sims

~ The Grilled Cheese Sim trait currently has no Wants attached to it. This is because Maxis decided not to update any of the whims I’d used with this, so I’ll need to do it myself. Watch this space!

In the future, I plan a few updates for the mod:

~ New wants: I want to include some new wants relating to later packs. Additionally, I want to include a few more to line up better with Sims 2; particularly for Pleasure, Family and Romance sims.
~ An interaction to allow Sims to discover another Sim’s personality.
