Originally it was an exclusive event for one of my aspirations, but I thought of extending it and making it accessible to all our dear little sims.

It is therefore a social event during which our sims and their neighbors will be able to get together, spend time together and especially exchange about the neighborhood. 

Objectives:  - Exchange about the neighborhood - Main - with a new social interaction - Exchange about the speech - your sims will have to make one - Discuss about the facilitator - Dance, Drink, Perfom Karaoke, etc.

Where it becomes interesting is if you own theEco Lifestyle pack, this event will be the perfect opportunity to make your requests for repeal of action plans or your requests for support, your neighbors being all present at the same place. A community ground seems to be the ideal place for this kind of event.

Note that the requests for signatures and support are counted for the main objective of exchange about the neighborhood.

Which packs? - City Living Required - Eco Lifestyle Recommended

I love the concept of collections in the game, but I find that they are not highlighted enough, in the end they do not have much interest, So I wanted to give them one through aspirations ! For the moment I have created 4 aspirations corresponding to the collections of fossils, artifacts, frogs, insects, photos of experimental foods and postcards. I wanted to make some for other collections but I can't find any interesting ideas.

Installation

I preferred to separate the aspirations so that you can choose the one you want without having to deal with all 4, but considering that I made a custom aspiration category, you will need it, so obligatory file: CrispyTrees_CollectorAspirations_Base

Pack required:

Gastronome Aspiration: Dine Out  CyberAddict Aspiration : Base Game Biologist Aspiration : Outdoor Retreat  Historian Aspiration: Jungle Adventure 

Tools: Sims4Studio, MC4 Language : English, French. Please let me know if you find any errors in the English translation

I had created several libraries in my game, but I never went to them because they didn't bring anything more, so I wondered what they would need to be useful to me, so I created this feature.

This feature will multiply the increase of your sims' skills, logic skills etc. will increase considerably faster, on the other hand physical skills, art etc. will increase just a little bit faster (for those the practice is the most important it seems to me). I've also added some random buffs to make the place a bit more lively...

Anyway, I was tired of not being able to invite Sims in the evenings and when it was possible that they might leave too early or whatever. It's a small, simple social event with no rewards, with the only goal of socializing 15 times. The event can be at home or at one of the guest's home, it lasts 12 hours just to be quiet.

Need to say more? Ok, this is an event with the main objective to swim for one hour, the other objectives are fishing, sunbathing, scuba diving, boating, water-bombing, drink Kava, search seashell, make sandcastle, grilling food.

MAJ 02/21/21 For the socials menus module: “I add the following interations in the romantic menu because with the traditional social menu desactivated i had this in first one obligatorily, as if marriage was an obligation: - Start Wedding Event - Have Wedding”

Since I started having a lot of mods in my game, like many, navigating through the different menus started to be very tiring. Even without the mods, someone could explain to me why "Declare wheater preference" is so early in the menu? It's just an annoying thing that we never use but we have to deal with it all the time! When I learned how to change the interaction priority, I literally threw myself at it.

What do this mod? It will simply prioritize the basic useful interactions (it's totally relative yes) so that these always appear as priorities, in front of others that are totally useless.

Computer Menu: Useful only if you have a lot of mods that clutter up this menu like me. Are prioritized: - Order - Play Game - Browse Research - Household - Career - University - Writting - Comedy - Chat - Programming - Social Media

Socials Menus: When we click on another sims. Like for the computer, only if you have a lot of mods in this. These following menus will be priorized: - Friendly - Funny - Mean - Mischief - Romantic I add the following interations in the romantic menu because with the traditional social menu desactivated i had this in first one obligatorily, as if marriage was an obligation: - Start Wedding Event - Have Wedding

If you don’t have the traditional social menu activated, you will always have random interactions first, then when you will click on “more choices” the Friendly, Funny, Mean, Mischief and Romantic menus will appear first  

Active Sims Menu: - Outfits - Actions - Jog

Friendly Interactions: Frankly, it was a monster mess, and it's for this menu that I made this mod in the beginning. I'm still not completely satisfied with it, but I don't think I ever will be. There is so much useless interaction ! The list is not exhaustive, some interactions are trait-related and I didn't see myself testing all the traits of the game, so I'll add them as I discover them (in principle). So we have:  In priority: - Deep Conversation - Ask About Day - Discuss Interests - Get to Know - Gossip About - Hug - Thank For Coming (during events) - Reveal Deep Secret - Loving Hug - Share Photo - Tell Dramatic Story - Share Secret - Tell Engaging Story Those who lost in priority: - Gift. No, we don't do it each time. - Express Admiration - Ask To Stargaze - Discuss Weather. - "Oh, it's sunny today", - "Yes Grandma...". - Other Sims. I.. Is this useful? I'm really asking - Ask to See Outfit The one which have been put to the rebus:  Not really, it just appears further on. - Complain  About Weather. “Oh my God, this Sun ! What a shitty day !” - Talk About Temperature. Generally when we talk about the weather, we talk about the temperature... - Declare Weather Preference. - Discuss Local..... No please ! Don’t do it! - Discuss Dance Technique

This mod will not conflict with any other mod unless the purpose of the other mod is to modify the above interactions. If you have mods that bring more social interactions, this one will appear well in game, it will be just after the prioritized interactions (in this case disabling the traditional social menu is very convenient to have a bit of everything).

This mod is compatible with Frank's Language Barrier, that I thank for the help concerning this mod and to MizoreYukii !

I wanted my sims to need hydration, it’s true they do sports and they’re not even thirsty? Since I couldn’t create a new gauge, I decided to create a simple system to achieve my goal.

This mod makes hydration of your sims necessary, well not really. After a while without hydrating your sims will feel the need. This need will be felt more and more, until they end up hydrating.

- If your sims goes into a sauna, dance, swim or sunbathe, he’ ll get thirsty. - If your sims plays basketball, soccer, jogging or woohoo, he’ ll get thirsty too, but also faster. - If your sims does indoor sports the thirst will be felt very quickly and more intensely. The sims will be able to hydrate by drinking water, sparkling water, tea, coffee, cans (Snowy Escape included), etc.

How to activate: I already have enough mods menu in my game to add one, so I added this one in the cheat menu. To activate the mod you just need to access your cheat menu, testingcheats true activated click on your sims with the shift key pressed. You will find the Hydration System menu.

This mod is compatible and recommended with the drink faster mods and no autonomous drinking mods. I can recommend you those: Faster Food and Drink by Magneticsouth Faster Drinking by SHEnanigans No Autonomous Drinking by MSQSIMS This mod is also compatible with the 30min Power Workout by LittleMsSams
