Hotfix for broken text from EA's latest patch blunderThe EA patch notes said there were changes to how death is handled. However, this mod still appears to be working while testing various scenarios and relationships. The only difference I can spot are phonecalls about low relationship deaths are no longer made by the game, but sims will still get my moodlets with no explanation phone call. The default behavior of the game is still REALLY broken, I tested sims that were acquaintances dying and the game spits up loss of family member moodlets by default.If you run into strange situations, let me know in the comments, but please provide detail, what relationship levels were (friend and romance), what kind of relationships they had (acquaintance, BFF, nemesis, brother etc).tl;dr: this mod is still working and gives appropriate moodlets for various relationships, but the game may have some broken tests that spit up weird results from time to time.A tiny update to fix an issue where the text string "A Welcome Departure" appeared on other game items.Updated to take into account witnessed deaths as well. I found what I think is an oversight in the default game where sims witness a death AND get a call about the death, leading to double moodlets.I seem to have fixed it. Scumbumbo's mod,, is now obsolete, as everything it did is integrated into this mod and updated for game version 1.44.88.10. Testing sim deaths is time consuming so I only tested a handful of scenarios, all seemed to be working. If you come across some unexpected behaviors reach me in the comments!Recently my sims have been getting notifications that sims they barely know have died. Unfortunately, this means if your sim is popular, they're in an almost perpetual state of mourning. The default state of the game is to give sims a sad moodlet for 2 days. Sims will be sadder when their pet dies than when a child or spouse dies. In short the 24 scenarios that can happen all have almost the same outcome which doesn't make any sense.This mod balances out the buffs sims receive when someone they know dies to reflect their relationship. If they are only acquaintances with the deceased they will get a fine moodlet for a few hours, but if it's their spouse that passes they will be devastated for days! If your sim dislikes anyone, even family, good riddance! They'll get a happy moodlet instead. Immediate family moodlets will be stronger and last longer, so a sim will be slightly sadder for a longer time if their brother dies as opposed to an uncle.This mod will conflict with other mods that change sims death reactions.There are a lot of tuning changesbuff name |>>>reaction_DeathAggregate 13863affordanceList_DeathReactions" s="30814Buff_WitnessedDeathLovedOne 12758Buff_WitnessedDeathNeutral 12760Buff_WitnessedDeathFriend 12757Buff_WitnessedDeathNemesis 12759buff_DeathOfSim_Acquaintance 190991buff_DeathOfSim_Spouse 185359buff_DeathOfSim_Child 185335buff_DeathOfSim_Sibling 185356buff_DeathOfSim_Nibling_Disliked 185347buff_DeathOfSim_Parent 185349buff_DeathOfSim_Grandparent_Disliked 185344buff_DeathOfSim_Spouse_Disliked 185360buff_DeathOfSim_Child_Disliked 185336buff_DeathOfSim_GoodFriend 185341buff_DeathOfSim_Sibling_Disliked 185357buff_DeathOfSim_Divorced_Disliked 185339buff_DeathOfSim_Friend 185340buff_DeathOfSim_Parent_Disliked 185350buff_DeathOfSim_Nemesis 190761buff_DeathOfSim_Pibling_Disliked 185353buff_DeathOfSim_Pet_Friend 190774buff_DeathOfSim_Pet_Neutral 190775buff_DeathOfSim_Divorced 185338buff_DeathOfSim_Grandparent 185343buff_DeathOfSim_BFF 185333buff_DeathOfSim_Pibling 185352buff_DeathOfSim_Nibling 185346buff_DeathOfSim_Romantic 185354
