How to turn off social group influences?
« on: May 15, 2013, 01:15:52 AM »
Is there a setting or maybe a mod that can turn off or down the social group influences?

I find it anoying that my sims gain a repuation with whichever group when I really don't want them to.

I did a search via Google and haven't been able to find much. Other than don't engage in any of the activities that involve the social groups.

I was hoping to find more help than that.

I haven't seen a mod to turn it off yet.  Hopefully the Nraas mods will soon include this ability (or at least let you set the social group level to 0).

There isn't much to be done about them the modless way.  I believe the standing can eventually decay so the sim no longer belongs to that social group, but that's tricky to accomplish (the sim would have to be unable to interact with anyone or anything that would increase social standing, plus be unable to do any self-social activities like the school cheer).

I understand wanting to turn these influences off, trust me!  After an immortal dynasty of nerds berating each other I finally had them gain jock levels just to try and heal the constant relationship wounds, only to suffer through seven sims breaking into 'Grrbits, grrbits, go grrbits!' every other minute.  The social groups are an interesting idea, but their interactions happen much to frequently for my tastes.  :P

I felt sure I might find one over at Naughty Sims Asylum, usually I get all my annoyance remover mods from there but all I saw was one for slowing the decay.

Lately I've only been playing challenges and my dynasty game so not using mods but after the rate nerds infect all my games I'd love one to stop it.

Somebody over at mod the sims has made a mod that stops autonomous berate ignorance and school cheer, maybe a stop all social groups one will come eventually. If I wasn't playing modless I'd definitely get that though, I don't mind them being nerds but I hate the berate ignorance interaction.
