Wicked Whims and Lumpinous LGBTQIA Mod

[WDUNN1205]

I have been playing with Wicked Whims for quite a long time and have the settings down pat for a world of 60% Hetero, 25% Bi and 15% Gay (both genders inclusive). So I run across Lumpinous mod and see that it really addresses the true flavor of the LGBTQIA community. So I tried it. It is a great mod in it's representation of the community. Unfortunately it does not work well with WW.

 

The reason I have found is the interpretation of the sexual relationship settings of both mods.

 

Firstly, WW "overwrites" the base games woohoo system to give it a "hardcore" interpetation. In other words, instead of the woohoo graphics it plays graphic sex animations based on the people involved in the act (Male or Female) and can add more actors to the animation which the base game woohoo can not. Actually, properly stated, WW provides a framework in which animators can create solo, couple and multiple couple animations in any "flavor" the user wants and can run these animations through a variety of locations (tables,sofas,walls,floors,devices,etc) which again, the base game woohoo does not.

 

Secondly, the LGBTQIA mod adds all the nuances of the community but uses the base game woohoo system to act out the relationships. The relationships are varied and "deep" as far as its representation of the true community and definitely a well written and coded mod, but it is a "softcore" mod. It has no "framework" in which to use animations with it. It just uses woohoo animations and base game locations to represent the sexual side of the relationships.

 

So, when trying to run the two together, WW allows the LGBTQIA mod to use all the locations its framework provides and the animations that can be used there but stumbles over the over the "levels" of relations that the LGBTQIA mod provides. Example, an Asexual non-romantic but still likes sex. they disallow any romance but will have sex with an accepted partner under certain situations ( a complex relationship ). This is not so straight forward for the WW framework to interpret. They will not accept any romantic gestures and guess what, sex is under romance. This causes a problem with the partner trying to initate sex with this person although they would gladly accept, just they don't like romantic gestures. A bit of a conumdum for the WW framework to handle. I did find a workaround, start having solo sex and if they are in a relationship with the person they will ask to join or you can ask them to join once the animation begins. Of course this takes into consideration the two peoples relationship level and gender preferences. That's just one example of the many different levels of romantic and sexual diversity provided by the LGBTQIA mod.

 

So, as I stated earlier, These two mods sadly will not "play" together. They are based on two separate and destinct "sex" concepts. WW is hardcore and LGBTQIA is softcore. I have played and played with the settings of WW to try to get it to integrate but to no avail. As I am sure you realize, I don't play the game SFW but I also don't play it to "get off" (I watch real porn for that). But what I do want is a real life feel to what is really a shallow (AI wise) and childish (the silly and mostly stupid animations, which I use hundreds of mods to shutdown) so I can accumulate a boat load of cash, build amazing skill sets and have fun building all manor of housing and venues all the while have friend only, sex only and everything in between relationships with various sims the game generates.

 

In conclusion, this is just my personal findings with these two mads. BTW, I disabled the LGBTQIA mod since I want WW as my base sex mod. If you have messed with these two together and have figured out how to make them seamles I would like to know, and I am sure others who are interested in running them both, I haven't been able to do it.

Huh. I haven't found myself having this much trouble using the two mods in tandem. I think perhaps you just need to fiddle around with your settings (in both mods, probably!) until you get settings you like. I'd try to be  more helpful, but unfortunately my memory is absolutely trash, so I can't really think of any settings off the top of my head and don't have the game open rn.
I don't really see/think of the LGBTQIA+ mod as a "sex mod," as much as a mod to set identities, and WW does have options to respect sims' identities/preferences, with varying levels of specificity (ie: a sim being allowed to join sex based on all participants meeting their preferences, or just some participants). It's definitely kind of a pain to go through all the many, many different options (and if you're anything like me, it can get a bit confusing trying to keep track), but I do think there are solutions to a lot of the issues you're experiencing? Like, I think you can essentially lower the romance threshold for the option of sex to appear (perhaps you need MCCC for that, though).
Sorry for being not actually very helpful, but I hope you manage to find settings that work for you because the LGBTQIA+ mod is definitely a lovely addition to give sims more depth/personality!

I didn't state in my original opening but, MCCC is always running. It can't be beat in stability and and "cheat" availability. Plus the error monitoring is an absolute boon when running so many mods as I do. As far as the settings of both mods, I have run the LBGTQIA mod out of the box using WW to tune. And I have tweaked the LGBTQIA to modify the world and let WW just add the animations. And of course everything I can think of in between. Although you stated something that I kind of saw differently and that gives me some other ideas to "marry" these two. You said it is more of an identity mod than a sex mod. In that it sort of changes the way that WW might handle the relationship side of the equation ie. through the WW relationship recognition settings. Thanks, you've giving me some other ideas. I do admit it is probably my OCD/ perfectionist mentality that drives me to make this work as "realistic" as possible.
