💻 Stop PC Obsession by Modnest v1.01 1.0.1

Hello, Modnest Crew! 👋

I'm excited to share the first public beta of my newest quality-of-life mod:

Stop PC Obsession by Modnest 🎉

If you've ever looked away from your Sim for five seconds only to find them glued to a computer again, this mod is for you.

Whether they're gaming, browsing the web, chatting, or your house guests immediately steal your PC, this mod gives you control over your Sims' computer autonomy while keeping player-directed gameplay completely untouched.

✨ Features

🖥️ New "PC Obsession" pie menu

Click on any Sim to access a new PC Obsession menu with three options:

✅ EA Default

• Uses the game's normal computer autonomy.

✅ Use Less

• Sims choose computers on their own far less often thanks to randomized quiet windows after each autonomous computer session.

✅ Never Use Unless Prompted

• Sims will never autonomously use a computer.

• Your own commands always work normally.

At any time, clicking the active option again will disable the mod's rule and return that Sim (or everyone) to normal behavior.

🌍 Apply it your way

After choosing a setting, simply decide who it affects:

✔️ This Sim

✔️ All Sims

Apply your preferences to one specific Sim or everyone in your save, including visitors, guests, and NPCs.

No more strangers running straight to your computer!

⚙️ Designed to be lightweight

• ✅ Base Game compatible

• ✅ Works with every computer, including laptops and CC computers

• ✅ Supports future EA computer objects

• ✅ No EA objects replaced

• ✅ Player-directed interactions always work

• ✅ Settings are saved through game saves and restarts

🚀 Planned Features

I'm already planning additional rule types for future updates, including:

• Homework Only

• Career Tasks Only

• Creative Activities Only

• No Video Games

• No Web Browsing

• Visitors Cannot Use PCs

Thank you all for supporting Modnest and helping shape these quality-of-life mods. Your feedback helps make every release better.

Happy Simming!

Update (July 6, 2026)

Quick maintenance update no gameplay changes, everything works exactly as before. Just download and replace the old file; your settings carry over.

• The mod no longer writes its own debug-log file. Any diagnostics now go to the game's standard log, and only when you turn debug on. Handled internal hiccups are also no longer reported as errors.

• Why: MC Command Center and Better Exceptions were flagging the old debug-logging as a possible "tracker." The mod is and always was 100% local: it never touches the internet, your files, or anything personal. This update simply removes the pattern those safety tools react to, so it now scans clean. 💚
