This mod aims to declutter the pie menu and reduce option bloat by narrowing down the available interaction categories (Mean, Funny, Romantic, Mischief, Friendly) and subcategories (such as Compliments, Complaints, Pranks, etc) based on your Sim's preferences, traits, and current mood.
This mod does not remove any interactions, but instead limits what's available at any given time. The mod is base game compatible, but there are additional features if you own the Growing Together Expansion Pack. Here's the rundown:
Features:
Mood and Trait-Based Interactions
- Sims will only display pie menu interaction categories that align with their current emotion and personality traits.
Streamlined Pie Menu
- Unavailable interactions are hidden until they become relevant, reducing clutter and helping you find the most appropriate interactions faster. (Example: Most Romantic interactions when in a Sad mood will no longer show up).
Customization with Likes
- Use the Likes from the Growing Together Expansion Pack to customize which Conversation Topics are always visible for your Sims. Conversely, use the Dislikes to suppress certain Conversation Topics until specific conditions are met.
Main Pie Menu Categories and What Impacts Their Availability:
Romantic:
- Hidden if a Sim is Sad, Miserable, or Enraged.
Friendly:
- Hidden if a Sim is Furious, Enraged, or Miserable.
- The "Complaints" subcategory will remain unhidden.

If you have the Growing Together Expansion Pack and your Sim dislikes certain Conversation Topics, their associated pie menu subcategories will only appear when they're in these specific moods:
Potty Humor: Playful or Dazed mood.
Stories (Funny): Playful or Dazed mood.
Mean: Bored or Angry mood.
Malicious: Bored or Angry mood.
Stories (Friendly): Inspired mood.
Gossip: Bored mood.
Small Talk: Bored mood.
Discussing Interests: Inspired, Focused, or Energized mood.
Physical Intimacy: Flirty or Dazed mood.
Discussing Hobbies: Inspired, Focused, or Energized mood.
Deep Thoughts: Focused mood.

Pranks: Playful, Bored, or Dazed mood.
Silly Behavior: Playful or Dazed mood.
Jokes: Playful or Dazed mood.
Affection (Romantic): Flirty or Dazed mood.
Affection (Friendly): Playful, Happy, Flirty, or Dazed mood.
If your Sim likes any Conversation Topics, the associated subcategories will always be visible unless the main category that they're in also happens to be hidden.
I recommend using Tidy Pie Menu along with this mod to ensure every interaction is filed under a category.
