WHAT IT DOES
Intent Guard is a gameplay script that filters which social and adult intents a Sim is allowed to start, join, or follow through on.
 

It is not an animation pack and it does not replace WickedWhims. It sits in front of the interaction queue: if an intent is blocked for that Sim, the action is cancelled before it locks the social group.

Public build includes:
- Per-Sim allow / block list for incoming intents
- Household default policy (allow, ask, or block)
- Hard age gate: Teen, Child, Toddler, Infant, and Baby cannot be actors or targets
- Young Adult / Adult / Elder only
- Console commands to inspect and clear the policy
- Fails open if a game API changes, so unrelated social behaviour is not globally disabled

[OPTIONAL — delete this line if it is not true]
WickedWhims is optional. Without WW, adult intents are ignored and only vanilla social intents are filtered.

WHO CAN BE INVOLVED
Young Adult, Adult, Elder.
Human Sims only, unless noted in a later update.
Minors are blocked in code, not only in the menu text.

INSTALL
1. Enable script mods and custom content in Game Options.
2. Extract this archive into Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\Mods.
3. Do not nest the .ts4script more than one folder deep.
4. Delete localthumbcache.package once after install.
5. Start the game and confirm load with the commands below.

CONSOLE
intentguard.version
intentguard.status
intentguard.policy
intentguard.clear

Use these on a lot with at least two eligible Sims. If version does not print, the script did not load.

DEFAULT BEHAVIOR
- Age gate is always on and cannot be turned off.
- Household default is [allow / ask / block — pick one and delete the others].
- A Sim on the block list cannot receive the listed intents.
- Unlocking or clearing the policy restores normal game behaviour for that Sim.

COMPATIBILITY
- Does not globally disable autonomy.
- Does not replace Conversation Lock, Blackmail & Leverage, or Inspired Heat.
- If you also use Conversation Lock, install both; they hook different points.
- If diagnosing a conflict, test Intent Guard alone first, then add other social or WW scripts one at a time.

AGE AND CONTENT
18+.
This mod can gate adult social behaviour. It will not run those paths on restricted ages.
No content depicting minors.

TROUBLESHOOTING
- Script mods disabled after a patch: turn them back on.
- Two copies of the script: keep only this version.
- intentguard.version silent: the .ts4script is too many folders deep, or last_exception.txt has a load error.
- Intents still firing: confirm the Sim is YA/Adult/Elder and that the policy actually lists that intent.
