Social Scenes: Lifesyles
Published: 8-07-2023 | Updated: N/A
SUMMARY
The Social Scenes series explores social gameplay in The Sims 2. Whether you’re a storyteller or casual simmer, these mods will help you better manage the social landscape in your game.
Lifestyles (Version 1) (Simmons 2023) add new levels of personality and social gameplay to Sims 2. Sims will recognize and respond to others based on group membership (or lack thereof).
- Assign, randomize, and edit lifestyles for all sims.
- Customize behaviors in five categories: Wrath, Theft, Violence, Indiscretion, and Disrespect.
- Create designated meeting spots for lifestyle groups to build relationships.
- New “Ask About Lifestyle” social.
- Devotion and zeal towards lifestyles evolve via age and talk/ask/hang out socials. Attraction/relationships remain unchanged unless your sim becomes too zealous.
- Have sims convert others to their lifestyle group.
- Non-intrusive, runs mostly in the background.
Unlike Greek house events (University EP), or dates and casual group outings (Nightlife EP), lifestyles aren’t mini-game scenarios. Lifestyle assignments are permanent unless changed by in-game events (i.e. conversion), and groups can have unlimited members. Sims are limited to one lifestyle group at a time.
DETAILS
Requires all Eps/SPs.
Lifestyles (Version 1) (Simmons, 2023) is a cosmetic edit of G-Rated Religion (Almighty Hat and Larky, 2016) and Religions/Angels & Nurses (Hatch, 2017-2019). Most credit for this mod is due to work by previous modders. My version generalizes in-game text from “religions, deities, tenets, faith, zeal, nun/sister” to “lifestyles, groups, devotion, zeal, friend” a la Sims 4 (2015; 2019; 2022). While explicit religious language is removed, you can still create religions if you wish.
This mod includes NPC data which must be removed separately from package files when uninstalling. See notes for uninstallation below.
