My experience with Wicked Whims and moving forward

[Reiami]

Lets face it Wicked Whims brings very interesting ideas into the Sims. It though however for me isn't Oiniki's Kinky World a mod in the sims 3 i respected for their work. While WW does try to be the next Kinky world i think it falls short of my expectations. Here are a few of my thoughts and why going forward i will most likely not be using it. First and for most i feel that it is a very interesting idea but with it almost always getting broken within the next major update it feels like a pest to keep trying to keep up with or waiting for the next update. Obviously going on to this thought it will break the game and cause issues rather it's T posing or even just sims not being able to figure out pathing. With lovestruck it feels like Wicked whims breaks what was intended for attraction. It basically made it's own attraction system which worked before Lovestruck but now it feels like it just is obsolete for what i want and what the game has to offer. 

 

Other Thoughts Include how it determines the body. Female, Male, Female with male body parts or even Male with female body parts. it almost feels as if the mod wasn't truly setup to determine/ allow for it to be automatic. Unlike another mod that at this point here seems to have been outcasted many of you know which one im talking about but it starts with a D. then it comes down to how animations work. Some animations just feel lacking or uninspired others for instance like Fetishes like peeing or other stuff feel incomplete like they were just not finished or were never going to show the animation of someone peeing. 

 

The Custom careers feel ok if you can get them to work or if a modder keeps up with them but otherwise. It feels like it's just another thing that either is hit or miss. While i do like the idea of adding more adult theming for my casual time playing this game it just doesn't feel like WW is worth it. Personally ive had more fun and less issues just keeping the base mechanics on the game. I really am only getting mods for clothing or appeal rarely for new mechanics which is on me. Other thoughts include the systems like pregnancy mensural system for females  and public hair growth these are interesting mechanics but again feel like it's just more to keep up with rather than trying to play around or always turn off then i don't need it. Another thing about Strip Clubs a Interesting idea and mechanic that i think could work but it feels lacking that only a user or player in this case can have one rather than making it so that the venue can be set up as a strip club. The Last thing i would like to mention is the fact that how WW works changes alot of the speech bubbles meaning that sometimes you have to cycle more than you would like to find the interaction you want. also it changes how changing your outfit works. Automation for some things like sex animations and undressing/Redressing up also can cause issues for me which im not a complete fan of. I should also mention with all of the added traits and skills it feels super cluttered and hard to navigate anyway. 

 

I feel though i personally will not be using WW or any other script based mods in the future as i feels like it creates more issues than it's worth. I will personally continue to stick with appeal based mods only as they seem to be the best option for me without having to tech and figure out why XYZ isn't working. 

 

Most Appeal only mods also don't seem to always break when a major update comes out. Anyway these are just my thoughts nothing against Turbodriver and any other creators for mods like this but i feel that with the constant popups of WW every time you start up and the many other issues ive personally ran into it just isn't worth my time to use. 

 

 

If you read up to this far thanks for sticking around for my Thoughts best luck in the future but for me this i feel is the end of my journey with WW at least until maybe something that works or can stay stable will come around. Though my thoughts are with the constant updates and constant need to keep the mod working it just doesn't seem like anytime soon it would be worth me revisiting.

My journey ended some years ago. With DD and some more mods by ColonolNutty which don't break every 4 weeks it's quite nice to play TS4.

In case script mods break it is often caused by EA by re-organizing code, in such cases also DD is affected.
Anyhow as soon as tunings break it is usually the fault of the mod creators, so I removed mods of the 'Copy; Edit-1-field in XML; Release as New Mod' mod creators. It really improved  playing TS4 as one doesn't need to spend 1-2 weeks to wait for and then update these mods.

What kinds of mods do you get with DD? Is it the same as WW, also what about animations and animation quality?

[Oops19]

DD reads animations and cas parts made for ww. So there are enough animations in the same quality. It does not yet support the undress-able feature.
It has a brothel lot to visit or manage, a rabbit-hole plastic surgeon and some more things.
You can't use NWP, AEP, ... as they require ww.

For sure one wants to use some SFW mods from GitHub like Control Menu, Custom Gender Settings. I also use pause-on-load and offer-blood.
