What is This Mod?
This mod is a system aiming to help with those moments when you don’t really know what to do next in game.
It also makes it possible to consult Instruction Lists (for custom “scenarios”, etc) in game.
The fun part of the system is that anyone in the community can make a gameplay Suggestion Set or an Instruction List and share it with other players, so that they can get these suggestions in their game too.
The website where players can create their Suggestion Set files and / or Instruction List files to share with others or enjoy in their own game is HERE.
What files are required to get the suggestion system in game?
- First, you must install the mod itself (a .package file).
- Second, you must install my Toolbox script (a .ts4script file), which is a utility shared between several of my mods to avoid repeating the same code and clogging your game.
- Third, you must install some Suggestion Sets, whether they are some you have made yourself or downloaded from others. You can find and share some on this discord server, made for that purpose.
All these files are extremely lightweight and will not overstuff your Mods folder.
Suggestion Sets: Requesting Suggestions
“Suggestion Sets” are collections of randomizable gameplay suggestions / ideas.
How to Request Suggestions?
- Click your Sim and go to “Actions”
- You have two choices:
- “Get a Gameplay Suggestion”: this will pick from all the suggestion sets that you have installed, according to the context that you request and according to your sim’s particular situation (age, relationships, packs installed).
- “Get Suggestion From Specific Set”: this does the same thing as the above, EXCEPT it only picks from a specific Suggestion Set file of your choosing.
Instruction Lists: Consulting the Lists
“Instruction Lists” are a way to make and share custom scenarios or challenges with several steps to follow in order.
They can be consulted in game directly to follow along the steps.
Contrary to Suggestion Sets, their contents are not part of any randomization. Instruction Lists can only be consulted in order.
How to Consult Instruction List?
- Click your Sim and go to “Actions”
- Click “Browse Instruction Lists”
- Select the list you want to consult. It will then be displayed.
- to check or uncheck a checkbox, click on it
