Mussfis Better Soul Goals

Better Soul Goals completely reworks how "Life & Death" chooses Bucket List goals. Instead of letting EA's broad random weighting decide first and merely nudging the result, the mod evaluates the Sim's actual life and personality.

What's new

Mussfis Better Soul Goals v1.1.0

MAJOR UPDATE — FULL-CONTROL SOUL GOAL SELECTOR

- Replaced the old "EA chooses first, Mussfis filters" model with a Mussfis-owned final selector.
- EA native random weights now have ZERO influence on Soul Goal ranking in:
  - automatic game-assigned goals;
  - uncategorized Write Goal;
  - concrete-goal selection inside a manually chosen category.
- Manual category choice remains sacred: the mod never redirects the category selected by the player.
- Automatic and uncategorized Write Goal selection now evaluate all currently available concrete goals globally.

PROFILE SCORING
- Expanded scoring to combine personality traits, relevant lifestyle/reward traits, activity preferences, exact skill levels, career identity/archetype/level, current aspiration, age, household/genealogy, current friendships, romance/marriage, negative family context, occult context, travel/destination evidence,
  and cross-signal synergies.
- Added career archetype logic so careers such as medicine, writing, science, culinary, education and others contribute thematic evidence instead of being ignored unless a one-off goal happens to match.
- Skill scoring is now graded by real level: 2-4 is weak familiarity; meaningful mastery normally begins around 5+; higher levels continue to add evidence.
- Broad category traits no longer automatically make every niche goal in that category a strong fit.

CONFLICTS / PREFERENCES
- Explicit activity Dislikes now hard-block directly matching goals when the relationship is unambiguous.
- Preference verification is included in release: exact EA preference traits are checked directly as a fallback, preventing disliked goals from surviving because a preference trait was missing from a profile snapshot.
- Historical friendship bits are not treated as current friends.

RANDOMNESS
- Randomness is retained only for genuine high-fit near-ties.
- Normal band: score 5+ and within 2 points of the best candidate.
- Candidates farther behind cannot win through luck.
- If no strong goal exists in a scope, only exact-best candidates are used as a defensive fallback.
