Stop PC Obsession by Modnest

Hello, Modnest Crew! 👋

I'm excited to share the first public beta of my newest quality-of-life mod:

Stop PC Obsession by Modnest 🎉

If you've ever looked away from your Sim for five seconds only to find them glued to a computer again, this mod is for you.

Whether they're gaming, browsing the web, chatting, or your house guests immediately steal your PC, this mod gives you control over your Sims' computer autonomy while keeping player-directed gameplay completely untouched.

✨ Features

🖥️ New "PC Obsession" pie menu

Click on any Sim to access a new PC Obsession menu with three options:

✅ EA Default

Uses the game's normal computer autonomy.

✅ Use Less

Sims choose computers on their own far less often thanks to randomized quiet windows after each autonomous computer session.

✅ Never Use Unless Prompted

Sims will never autonomously use a computer.

Your own commands always work normally.

At any time, clicking the active option again will disable the mod's rule and return that Sim (or everyone) to normal behavior.

🌍 Apply it your way

After choosing a setting, simply decide who it affects:

✔️ This Sim

✔️ All Sims

Apply your preferences to one specific Sim or everyone in your save, including visitors, guests, and NPCs.

No more strangers running straight to your computer!

• ⚙️ Designed to be lightweight
• ✅ Base Game compatible
• ✅ Works with every computer, including laptops and CC computers
• ✅ Supports future EA computer objects
• ✅ No EA objects replaced
• ✅ Player-directed interactions always work
• ✅ Settings are saved through game saves and restarts

Leave your thoughts in the comments so I can continue improving the mod.

Thank you all for supporting Modnest and helping shape these quality-of-life mods. Your feedback helps make every release better.

Happy Simming!

Modnest
