Best for storytelling: secret affairs, risky WooHoo, jealous partners, awkward discoveries, and dramatic room-bursting moments.

• Automatic eavesdropping and an Enter/Ignore choice are now part of the Public version.
• Door routing now works from the nearest reachable side, including flipped doors.
• Heart door effects and a redesigned settings menu are included.
• The Early Access version adds configurable chances, moodlets, Fallout socials, and aftermath choices.

🔒 Smart auto-locking when it matters

When a WickedWhims scene starts between two Sims and one of them has a committed partner on the lot, WADL checks whether the room is private. If the encounter qualifies, the Public version locks the room doors for that session every time. The temporary lock clears when the session ends.

💬 Spicy notifications

When the door locks, a short notification identifies the cheater, their partner in the room, and the committed partner still outside.

💗 Hearts on the locked door

With City Living installed, an active WADL lock can display floating hearts on the door. The effect can be disabled in Visuals.

👂 Automatic eavesdropping

If the betrayed Sim is nearby on the same floor, WADL sends them to the nearest reachable side of the locked door. This works with flipped doors and does not force them to approach one fixed side.

What they hear creates suspicion, not proof:

• Vague:  it could have been nothing.
• Suspicious: something feels wrong.
• Strong suspicion: difficult to dismiss, but still not visual confirmation.

🚪 Enter... or ignore it

Enter: WADL releases its lock, routes the betrayed Sim into the room, and lets WickedWhims handle the normal reaction.

Ignore: they leave without confirming what is happening.

Public version limits: door locking is fixed at 100%, automatic eavesdrop uses the recommended nearby/same-floor behavior, and there are no WADL moodlets, manual investigation actions, Fallout socials, or relationship consequences.

✨ WADL 2.0 Early Access is available on Patreon!

It includes everything in Public, then adds more risk, emotion, and post-affair storytelling.

🎲 The door may not save them

Early Access makes privacy less predictable. Eligible doors lock 75% of the time by default, so some affairs remain exposed. Both the lock chance and unlock chance are configurable for your preferred storytelling style.

After eavesdropping, Try to Unlock replaces guaranteed entry. Its default success chance is 50%: sometimes the betrayed Sim gets in, and sometimes they are left outside with even more questions.

👂 More control over eavesdropping

Adjust how close a Sim must be before automatic eavesdropping begins, from disabled at 0.0 to an intentionally aggressive whole-lot range. Cross-floor detection is optional and off by default.

A valid locked affair door also gains manual Eavesdrop, Knock, and Try to Unlock actions, giving you control when you want to direct the scene yourself.

 

😬 Suspicion becomes a moodlet

Walking away or failing to unlock does not prove cheating, but it leaves an eight-hour emotional reminder. Jealous Sims become Tense; receptive or non-jealous Sims become Flirty.

Successful entry confirms the discovery. The betrayed Sim reacts accordingly, while both affair actors can receive Caught in the Act.
Reduced Moodlet Intensity is available if you prefer gentler +1 effects.

💥 The affair follows them out of the room

Suspicion and confirmed discovery unlock temporary, pair-specific Affair Fallout… socials after the scene. Sims can question the locked door, accuse, act innocent, confess, confront, apologize, defend the affair, or respond positively when the discovery was welcome.

Important choices can change Friendship or Romance and resolve only that exact pair’s Fallout. Jealous discoveries can also use aftermath settings such as leave the room, request Stop Sex, or choose randomly.
