Twallan's Mods and the Attraction System
« on: July 27, 2013, 03:36:02 PM »
The attraction system that has been in place from Patch 1.42 onward has made me leery about updating for fear that it would drastically change the way that I like to play (multiple faithful couples in one household). My question is this: can Twallan's Story Progression (or MasterController, or any of his other mods) tweak the system in such a way where everybody isn't autonomously attracted to and flirting with everyone else?

The reason why I ask is that I finally figured out why later patches were buggy for me (I had to do a factory reset) and would love to be able to play with some of the newer content and EPs beyond Supernatural.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I'm pretty sure Woohooer is the mod that deals with any attraction, I can't say I've noticed it altering it to be less, but it might possibly give it more reason, I tend to get messages the person thinks my sims are hot rather than the rich or skill ones.

To be honest for me the attraction isn't the problem it's the mail and phone calls but Shimrod over at simsasylum.com has a mod that stops the calls and gifts or makes them fewer so they are less annoying, I use that in non challenge games and it works very well, you can still send a love letter if you wish and I've even got a reply but you don't get spammed by the unsolicited ones.

I've found after the initial attraction message, which seems to prod a sim into flirting, apart from the moodlet unless a sim actually has a trait making them more likely to flirt nothing happens, and if they do have one they probably would have flirted anyway. My main sims are always eternally faithful despite one of them being flirty and the other a hopeless romantic and I can honestly say the attraction system has not changed that one bit, it just means they get date calls and love letters a lot.

Using story progression's new caste system should keep your faithful couples completely safe if that's what you want.  You could make each sims their own caste, then only allow them to flirt with the matching sim/caste. 

Like Turoskel I don't find the new system makes my sims flirt more.  There's just more messages to close when playing.   ;)

Turoskel, Vinyl - Thank you both. Given that I love to play large families with multiple couples I was always worried about one sim being attracted to another's spouse. I'm kind of picky when it comes to faithful couples. :P

I'm going to grab the latest versions of StoryProgression and Woohooer and see if I can fine-tune things. I think I will also look into that "No calls" mod as well.
