Hiiii, first time posting and has to be said thank you so so very much to Turbo and all the animators making this game so realistic and worth playing!

 

Secondly, I'm still trying to get my bearings with all the options and features and for some reason one of the most important features to me (the polyamorous trait) is not available in CAS. Is it an aspiration reward only? I don't wan't to select the blanket ignore all cheating because I think, just like in real life, some sims should be poly and some should be prude.

 

I'm seeing all of Nisa's traits in CAS, is that possibly overriding WW traits? Thank you all for you help!

Polyamory is a reward trait aye. I prefer to keep global jealousy on too so I just throw that or the cuckold trait on them as needed.

I think mostly the problem lies in sims 4 pathfinding itself and not the mod. Seems this kinda nonsense happens in all aspects of the game and with different mods. An example that comes to mind is recently a customer came over to buy drugs. They stood outside at the door, so I clicked on them and told my sim to sell them the weed they wanted. Well in the time it took my sim to get to them, the customer walked inside and went to the top of the stairs second floor. So my sim proceeded to walk right by the stairs and walk to the outside location where the customer was, then turn around right back for the stairs. Well then the customer went down the stairs, so my sim continues to walk right past the customer and go up the stairs, just to turn around at the top and walk back down to where the customers was. They stand there for a few seconds, then both proceed to walk back outside to the location the customer originally was to complete the transaction. Very aggravating to say the least, especially in cases like this or worse, and then the action gets cancelled because the npc decides to leave.

 

So perhaps the reason was your sim was going to goto the dining room autonomously if you left them be, but then your request came in and they just had to go to that location first. Then it allowed your request to happen. I've even had "try for baby" do this bed skipping crap and walk past several bedrooms and go to a bed farthest away on a different floor. Have all privacy settings set to off, so not a case of them trying to find a secluded spot. But maybe your sim just has a food fetish hidden trait

 

Things like this happen as well just doing vanilla stuff like "greet" or "flirt" actions. Seems like I remember in sims 3 the sim would just go straight to where the target currently was. So best case scenario is it's in the mod and can be fixed. But my opinion is that sims 4 is just damaged at the core and we will just have to deal with it, or find workarounds like DarkAudit did in the post a few above this one.

There's no doubt that The Sims 4 is, and has been piss poorly programmed right from the start. Regrettably, The Sims 4 has been considerably dumbed down since The Sims 3. I get that a sim will often do things inexplicably stupid. For instance, your sim can be standing right next to another sim. Go to hug them, they leave the room, and say go to a bathroom to hug. I get that there has to be a certain clearance for the "animation box" (for lack of another term) to have enough room to perform a given action. Just one of the stupid things we have to live with. In the case of WW though, used to be it would always default to the nearest bed. What I don't understand is the logic of having a pair of sims go to a fining room to do it when they are standing right next to a bed. That perplexes me. (Not to mention going three floors down to the basement, and passing 5 bedrooms on the way to do their business halfway inside a stairwell. )

 

I guess what I'm getting at is that WW used a much better logic flow in the past. Sims usually found a bed or a couch, but didn't wander far from where they started. If there was a routing issue, the standard EA wave and confusion would ensue. I really think WW has grown way to big for it's own good. Too much going on, and too little choice as to how to control it. Like a mega corporation, I think it's about time for WW to be split up into smaller mods. Let us decide what we want in our game. Just a simple WW without all the bells and whistles that I have to spend half the day figuring out how to disable. Before someone says "then don't use it", I have to say that would be my choice if it weren't the only game in town.

Hey I'm just wondering why sometimes my male sims glow during sex/masturbation. Does WW have something to do with this and if so what does it mean?

 

Vampires get insane power from Virgin blood. But somehow, it also happens if the newly deflowered sim is the one giving oral too, which imo makes no sense. So when the vampire, like Caleb in your pics, have oral with a newly deflowered sim, they glow as a way to show the insane amount of power the virgin blood gives them. Its a quick way to make them reach grand master vampire level.

Yes it was removed to meet patreon guidelines but a fix is already provided for this on Loverslab, 

Basically it's now something we choose to add ourselves as opposed to a forbidden feature that is included in the mod,

Hey, I can't seem to get the Wicked Whims menu to show up in the game and I'm not sure why.  I'm pretty sure I have everything installed correctly.  ...Right?  Also,  I have no idea how to change ANY of the settings, mostly because I can't FIND the settings menu!

[fred200]

It would help if you say exactly how you installed WW, what version you installed,  and what your Sims 4 Mods directory structure looks like.

Well, first I did it manually.  With the most recent version, of course.  And as for my directory structure?  Not sure how to check that exactly, but I do know that at least the two things in the WW file are in the right places.  As for currently, I uninstalled it, then reinstalled it with the auto installer.  Still can't get it to show the WW menus, though.  Mostly because I don't know how to do that.  I should probably mention that I was trying to test this in the tutorial, in case someone asks and potentially says "everything should be working fine, as long as you are not in the tutorial, since the WW commands are disabled there because technical reasons".  I dunno, just had a hunch that might possibly be the problem.

[fred200]

Your structure should be Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/Mods/WickedWhimsMod

Contents of that directory should include:

TURBODRIVER_WickedWhims_Scripts.ts4script

TURBODRIVER_WickedWhims_Tuning.package

Game options should say Enable custom content and mods, as well as Script mods enabled.

Mods loaded list, under Script Mods, should show TURBODRIVER_WickedWhims_Scripts

Yeah, all of that checks out.  But I still can't find the menus.

EDIT: I found a video on YOUTUBE of all places, where someone placed their animations into the Wicked Whims folder.  I swear to god, I really hope that I was not being stupid and that this wasn't the reason nothing was working for me.  I'm gonna try it out.  Don't let this stop you from suggesting any advice for fixing my problem, just in case this new information does not help me.

[fred200]

All my animations are in the base Mods folder.

And Animations should not stop WW menus from showing up...

Just for a test, start a new game and see if they show up. Bad stuff can get baked into a save.

I have heard that for Bethesda games. Is this really true for Sims as well? I thought that wasn't the case for this game/modding etc.

 

I'd appreciate some confirmation from others as well if this is the case and happened to them.  Might be some of the issues I had previously that I couldn't resolve and /or figure out. That made no sense.

 

(previously I also had issues with menu's as well)

Just to doubley-confirm what Fred was asking, when you say it checks out you mean that when you boot up the game you get the mod list at the main menu and at the bottom under Scripts it has TURBODRIVER_WickedWhims_Scripts listed there? Just the easiest way to check for certain issues so worth making sure.

Yes, but that isn't an issue anymore.  I just got a new one.  I just glitched my sims.  I set my sims to admire themselves in the mirror, and now they are just twitching in front of it, and I can't get them to stop.  Specifically, it was the naturism version.  And now they are twitching forever.

EDIT: OK, they freed themselves after HOURS of admiring themselves, but this is probably a pretty big bug that needs to be fixed.

Hi there! 

I've heard that placing the animations in the wicked mod folder will cause issues, 

They should go directly to the mods folder or have a specific subfolder of their own, 

The only things in the the wicked folder should be TURBODRIVER files, 

Not sure why but maybe a load order thing, 

Don't worry about silly mistakes as we learn this way! As long as you are not too vague then someone can always help!

I think that save games can become corrupt, I've had a scenario way back where I couldn't save my game and another where once I could not load it, I suspect it is tray folder related to a degree 

 

 

The saving issue was related to a corrupted sim, once I deleted the new couple I made was able to save as normal, 

One major thing I noticed leading up to the issue was in CAS, a recolor I downloaded from aveira sims seemed to have an issue when updating the thumbnails of the characters at the bottom left, it was suck in a perpetual loading icon and still was when I left CAS, 

In theory a broken cc causes this and maybe with lots too, 

 

The loading issue I had was also a cc related one, 

It was a custom teeth mod to replace the EA/MAXIS one, the problem arose when vampires where added and the override needed to include them, 

 

I think although bad things can be baked into a save its a strong chance of rescuing it if you know what you recently added and can remove it or find an updated/fixed version, I could be wrong but I think the tray importer has the function to remove households and lots too which would also clear the tray folder of any bad blueprint etc files 

 

Im only really speculating but it's the best way I can rationalise the errors I had lol

Depends if you're using a mod like Nisa's Wicked Perversions, which adds requirements that go around Always Accept.

And make sure to read the message, they might be against joining because of fear of getting pregnant.

Hi, guys. Thanks again to Turbodriver for keeping this mod alive.

 

I have a quick question, should I delete the 'WickedWhimsmod' folder that has generated in my saves each time I download the mod for a new update? I know it has something to do with the settings, but I'm just wondering if I should touch it or not. Any answers are appreciated.

Hey! That's where all the settings and save data of WickedWhims is kept. With the current release, all of that data is embedded into the game save, but the files are kept as a backup.

Thanks!

This is something you can't help but notice. My sims can be standing right next to a bed, and one will ask for sex. Where do they go? two floors down to the dinning room! This is really silly and immersion breaking to say the least. Not only that, they will often go to the middle of the basement. They seem to be purposefully avoiding beds. With some 30 or so beds in my sims massive house, you'd think it would make sense to use one of them at least once. The only time they do use a bed is when I manually direct them to.

 

It really irks me that they most often use the dinning room. What is it about that room that they find so fascinating? As far as I can tell, WW has no logic flow as to what locations are used. 1-8, with 1 being a more precise location. WHERE ARE THESE LOCATIONS??? Being more precise is fine, but where? Would be more helpful if the location system was better documented, or even made sense. As it is, it's not random, and it doesn't make any sense at all as far as I can see.

Sims don't focus on finding a bed, they can be more risky, look for a different kind of a comfortable locations, look for an outdoor location, or for a private location. When they don't want to use a bed, they don't use a bed. It's not about a location being close by, but what kind of location Sims are looking for that suits their preference at the moment.

This is how it always worked, but now you can adjust what kind of styles of locations Sims pick from in the Sex Autonomy Specifics settings.

Hello Turbodriver,

 

I have a feature request.

Background:

I am playing with LittleMsSams Roommates mod. My lot has about 30 Bedrooms. When autonomy sex starts, the sims seems to use all but besides their own bedroom btw assigned beds. Now, for immersion, where is our preferred private sex location? Normally in our own "assigned" beds.

(Locking doors is no option as if a couple is selected they should hace access to each others beds.)

So for my request:

For the location search, can the assigned beds, or even better the rooms where that beds are, of the involved sims made to be the most preferred locations, maybe restricted to the "Private" and "Convenient" setting in the sense of "My place or your place?"

 

Best regards

 

Aramiteus

Hey! That's already a thing, Sims claimed bed is preferred when looking for a sex location. Beds and Loveseats are checked for individual preferred location tag which is then assigned as a dynamic trait to a room that contains it. When Sex Autonomy looks over the rooms, the room that contains personal items is more likely to be picked. This is not an exclusion system, all locations are still considered fairly, but any location that fits the style and has the highest likeliness is going to be picked. If Sims are not currently looking for a private or comfortable location, personal items don't matter.
