About This File
Howdy folks and welcome to Phenomenal Pheromones V1, my first mod for the Sims 4!
This mod is for those who enjoy the finer smells in life. The finest perfumes do not compare to the scent of your partner after a long day. You'll happily skip the deodorant for and just bask in it. And a shower before WooHoo ruins all the real fun. Pheromones, sweet sweet pheromones! I was inspired to make Phenomenal Pheromones to fill the void left by Chris Pyre's Musk Mod, though right now it is very basic. Shout out to Chris for the inspiration and making my game more enjoyable while the mod worked!
What it Does and How it Works:
- Add the trait "Enjoys Body Odor." Purchasable as a trait in the trait shop for 25 credits (or just cheat it in!).
- Your Sim no longer feels uncomfortable with low hygiene, in fact if you let it drop low enough, they'll receive the "Aromatic Bliss" Moodlet! Fun!
- Your Sim will no longer seek out a shower on their own! But hey, I get it, they have a job to get to or maybe their friends prefer a more traditionally presentable sim. So your Sim will still shower when told. Sims still seek out washing their hands, but this may change in the future!
- Don't say clean too long! If Sim's Hygiene is too high, they'll start to crave their natural aroma and will get a new Want to get Grungy.
- Your Sim isn't afraid to show their appreciation. They will randomly react to their own scent and scent of other Sims when they have low hygiene. Beware, Sims without this trait will still react negatively! Those tasteless snobs!
Requirements and Conflicts
- Requires ScumBumboMods XML Injector
- Requires the expansion Eco Lifestyle. This is only for one image, so please let me know if this is a barrier and I will gladly change it.
- No known conflicts and runs cleanly (for me, at least) with Wicked Whims, Basemental, Nissa's, and a whole host of other mods. I can assume any other mod that deals with Hygiene may have conflicts. Please let me know if you run into any issues!
Future Functionality and Roadmap
I intend to turn this into a skill that is earned through play, rather than just a purchase in the shop. I am planning 10 levels of moodlets, interactions, dialogue options, sentiments, and more wants. But it also took me a while to get to this point so it's also safe to assume this is done until you hear otherwhise.
Please report any bugs and hiccups to me!
