OfficeAffairs 2.0.3

 ❤️❤️❤️  UPDATED 06/14/2026  ❤️❤️❤️

Due to the significant internal changes in this update, I recommend clearing your game cache before launching the game with the new version

What's New:

2.0.3 (06/14/2026)

• Gender Preference Support 
  The Boss and the Employee roles are no longer limited to one specific gender  
  OfficeAffairs now supports different gender preferences and no longer limits the Boss
  and the Employee roles to one specific gender. Bosses and Employees can now be male or female,
  and romance-related gameplay is based on Sim gender preferences
   

• More Flexible Boss Generation
  A Boss is still generated automatically when needed, but the system now takes the active
  Sim's preferences into account when creating one. You can also create your own office
  environment manually, adjust Sim preferences, and shape the workplace dynamic yourself.
   

• Small Business Support
  OfficeAffairs now includes early support for Small Business gameplay.
  This system is more limited than regular career support for now, and it is still in development.
  The owner automatically becomes the boss when opening a new business. No MBA or CEO
  application needed. Employees are also initialized when hired.
   

• Bonuses and PTO
  OfficeAffairs now supports more workplace rewards. In addition to promotions, Sims may now
  receive bonuses or PTO depending on the situation, outcome, and workplace dynamic.
   

• More Balanced Career Progression
  Promotions are now less frequent and more balanced. Instead of every successful situation 
  leading directly to a promotion, Sims may receive a bonus, PTO, or other career-related outcomes. 
  This should make progression feel more natural and less predictable.
   

• Updated Dialogs, Buffs, and Notifications
  Dialogs, buff names, descriptions, reasons, and notifications were updated to match the 
  new gender preference support, expanded career logic, bonuses, PTO, and workplace outcomes.
   

• Expanded Secret System
  The secret system has been expanded. If someone knows too much about an Office Affair,
  invite the secret holder over and see what happens next. Some secrets are not meant
  to stay quiet forever.
   

• Stability and System Improvements
  This update includes major internal system changes, fixes, and cleanup work designed to make 
  OfficeAffairs more stable, flexible, and easier to expand in future updates.

I’m actively working on the mod, so it may still contain some issues. Please keep an eye on updates - they will be frequent 🤪

OfficeAffairs is a social gameplay expansion mod focused on workplace drama, power dynamics, relationships, and story driven interactions. It introduces new targeted social mixers, custom buffs, hidden traits, relationship bits, career related systems, and reactive outcomes that integrate directly into live gameplay.

I have been playing The Sims for many years, and this is a mod I personally always wanted to exist in my own gameplay - something that adds the kind of narrative depth and dynamics I felt were missing.

For now, events may happen quite frequently. This is intentional for the first release and testing phase. In future versions, pacing and behavior will become configurable.

You can play both sides of the story:
Play as a Boss or play as an Employee. Each role has its own interactions and progression paths.

You can now experience a full career narrative:

• Start as an employee
• Build relationships and make choices
• Progress through your career

• Complete the required advanced career program 

• Become a Boss

Gameplay Overview:

The boss system is dynamic and flexible:

• A Boss can be generated automatically when an employee joins a career
• Or created manually by the player using cheats or naturally

To become a Boss:

• Reach the top level of a full-time career

• Complete the required advanced career program via the computer or phone

• Apply for a Boss position via PC or phone

This creates a natural progression path instead of relying only on generated bosses. The Boss is a fully playable Sim with their own traits, career, and role in the story.

You can play both sides of the story.

As an employee:

• Build a relationship with your boss
• Attempt to seduce the Boss
• Ask for a promotion
• Ask for a PTO
• Ask to be hired

As a Boss:

• Offer jobs to Sims
• Fire employees
• React to relationship dynamics
• Give bonuses
• Give PTO  
• Influence story progression

Cheats:

The following commands are available:

oa.init_boss
Promotes the active Sim to CEO
Requires: Sim with a full-time career

oa.init_employee
Initializes the active Sim as an Employee
Requires: Sim with a full-time career

oa.help
Displays available OfficeAffairs commands

Current features:

• Play as a Boss with unique social power interactions

• Play as an employee and build a risky office relationship

• Ask for promotion through special interactions

• Attempt to seduce your boss

• Boss can fire an uncooperative employee

• Boss can offer a job

• Boss can give bonuses

• Boss can give a PTO

• Boss can promote employee

• Sims can ask to be hired

• Custom buffs, relationship bits, and hidden traits drive outcomes and long term consequences

This is only the foundation. The system is designed to expand with more branches, decisions, and reactive storytelling over time.

Huge thanks to TURBODRIVER for WickedWhims:

Without this incredible mod and the powerful systems it provides, OfficeAffairs and many other gameplay mods would not exist.

OfficeAffairs is compatible with both the public and patreon versions

Important:

Current gameplay is mostly designed around rabbit hole style and active full-time career events and social interactions. More visible systems and deeper gameplay layers will be expanded in future updates.

Please be gentle, this is my first public release and still a learning journey. I plan to keep expanding the project and would love to hear ideas and suggestions about future directions.

Follow me here, feel free to leave comments and share your suggestions. I will be happy to respond as soon as possible.

Thank you for the support 🥰
