Religion Mod Update

[hat_plays_sims]

I've only got one tester so far, but so far, everything is working for that tester.

AND I can add custom interactions to the mod! I've had the instructions for it for a while, but I hadn't actually gone and tried to mess with any BHAVs. That means I can do a G-Rated Religion expansion pack for each Sims expansion pack, giving you more actions that can be banned or allowed by each in-game religion.

Anybody know if regular playable Sims can steal anything besides newspapers, gnomes, and (with a hack) hotel towels? I've got five sets of behaviors I can add ban/allowable actions to-- Pathfinding Fail Tantrums (I may re-name that Anger or something, but I have to find something else to ban under it and beg my tester to see how it works), Theft, Violence, Indiscretion (gossip, bragging, gross out; manners failures, basically), and Disrespect (nag, insult, annoy, I'm planning to add pranks; petty meanness). In the Vanilla mod, Violence has the most interactions banned, and Theft and Pathfinding Tantrums have the least, which is why I'm hoping to find more stealing-based actions to make bannable.

I'm going to go through the Prima guides hopefully tonight and make notes on expansions, but if you have suggestions about custom interactions, I'm all ears-- especially if you'd be willing to help test them.

I would be glad to help you test as I am currently on short term disability so have some extra time. As far as stealing goes... I don't know if you can add stealing the mail. Already built into the game is the burglar. So you can add stealing specific items or just being burgled.

Do you need the souvenir box? (It should be in with the Bon Voyage defaults, if it's not in its single-download file anymore. I should probably update that post.)

I've never seen Sims stealing the mail, is that a thing they can do? I can't create new interactions (deep magic beyond my ken), just give players the ability to ban existing ones, including custom interactions. Also I don't think I can ban the burglar or Unsavory Charlatan from doing anything-- that'd probably mess things up.

I did find a few interactions to add under Theft-- from the basegame, the only thing I could find was using the SimVac (dang that is horrifying), but when I get that new hard drive and can install all my expansions again? Using the counterfeiting machine (Uni), stealing Chickenfeed Charlie (Seasons), and casting Tabula Rasa and Extractum Amorus (AL) will all get tagged as Theft.

But I'd be delighted to update my working files and send you a copy! Expect a PM shortly.

Is this the religion mod that sims who die go to afterlife lots?

[hat_plays_sims]

Only in Chris Hatch's fan expansions. The stand-alone versions just have the bits for live Sims.

Are you still working on this mod (or do you plan to do so again in the future)? It sounds amazing!

If you still need more testers I would be happy to help?

I was planning on making this one the 100th post in my Downloads tag, so, yes, still working on it! I could still use another tester if you're willing; I've been testing the expansions myself but I'm always going to feel like I've missed something.

What's your email address?

I am delighted to hear that you're still working on it! :-) I'm about to PM you on Mod The Sims and PBK - I'm an actual person with a username there and not just a random anon! :-D
