Slower Need Decay

This mod slows down the decay of all six needs.

All six motives drain slower.

I made this because I was spending more time babysitting green bars than actually playing.

How this mod works:

  • Slows the decay rate of Hunger, Bladder, Energy, Fun, Hygiene, and Social.
  • Your Sims stay comfortable longer. Longer days, less micromanaging.

Known limitations:

  • The slowdown is approximate, not lab-measured. It is noticeably slower in game, that is what I can promise.

Installation: Unzip the file and drop the .package into Documents / Electronic Arts / The Sims 4 / Mods. Then enable Mods in Game Options > Other. That's it.

Compatibility: Base game compatible. Built and tested on patch 1.128. Should work with all expansion packs, game packs, stuff packs, and kits.

Changelog: v1.0 — initial release.

Recommended mods to use with this: Fridge Lock (only your household can grab leftovers).

If slower needs saved your sanity, tips are welcome but never expected: ko-fi.com/tuningfork
