ModCrab

ModCrab is a module system. Today marks the release of the first module - MoodPulse. MoodPulse - Mental health & burnout system for The Sims 4.

Your Sims go through a lot every day — work, fights, sleepless nights, big wins. But by morning, it's all gone. No weight, no consequences.

MoodPulse changes that.

It quietly tracks how life wears your Sim down, and lets them recover the way real people do — slowly, and with care.

What it does:

🔹 Two layers of wellbeing. Stress reacts fast to daily events. Strain builds up slowly over time and only heals through real rest — spa days, vacations, genuine downtime. Not just a quick nap.

🔹 Four stages, from OK to Burned Out. As pressure builds, your Sim moves through visible emotional stages. Push too hard, and burnout hits — and recovery takes real in-game time.

🔹 Reacts to real life. Promotions, breakups, mastering a skill, losing a job, a great meal, a death in the family — over 20 life events shape your Sim's state automatically.

🔹 Personality matters. A Self-Assured Sim shrugs off a firing. A Loner suffers more after a rough social night. Traits change how your Sim handles everything.

🔹 Daily summaries. Each evening, a clean recap shows what shaped your Sim's day.

🔹 Fully optional & tidy. Everything is toggled from a simple menu on your mailbox. Turn the module on or off anytime. No clutter, no spam.

How to use: Click your mailbox → Open ModCrab → Mods → MoodPulse. The module is off by default — switch it on and play.

This is just the beginning.

ModCrab is built as a framework — MoodPulse is the first of many modules planned. More systems are on the way, each adding a new layer of depth to your Sims' lives. Stay tuned. 🦀

Free for everyone. If you'd like to support development, a follow means a lot.
