Testers Wanted: Attraction replacement for Mac Users

I received a request from @buduwie asking whether I could make my attraction mod more Mac-friendly. So I have this mod to share. Since the last testing (around May, I think), it seems to be working, but both buduwie and I ran into an issue that I wasn't able to fix. I've explained the issue in detail and what's included in the download after the README section.

Another note: it uses my attraction replacement mod that I shared, but I edited out any checks for expansion packs that Mac users don't have, so that you won't be hit with errors.

The two interactions "Do you like what you see?" and "What Turns You On/Off?" do not show the turn-ons ui icon correctly most of the time. Now this is a known bug that happens in an unmodded game already, as stated by simler90:

When Maxis released Bon Voyage, they added a 3rd category of turn-ons. This category includes the Robots, Plantsimism and Lycanthropy turn-ons. Apartment Life added Witchiness to this category as well. These turn-ons have icons, that's how you see them in the UI, and they also made thought balloon icons for them, that's how you see them when you perform the "What Turns You On/Off?" interaction. The problem was that they did not update the "Do You Like What You See?" interaction with this new category of turn-ons. This is why, in an unmodded game, if you perform that interaction, and if the target sim has a category 3 turn-on/off, they will show you a random turn-on/off thought balloon from either category 1 or 2, which they don't have.

But the issue is that both buduwie and I still ran into the problem when we had only the fix and attraction replacement mod added, or just the fix, as shown below with pics.

In my testing, first picture , the sim's profile ui appears instead of the Nature Lover attraction trait ui. Meanwhile, when buduwie tested on an unmodded save with just the fix in the download folder, second picture , they only got the speech ui instead.

Sadly, I don't know how to fix this issue and you'll still likely experience it even when you have my mod. So if you don't mind that, then here's what's included in this mod.

What got carried over:

• Simler90’s rich and poor calculator checks.
• Simler90’s fixes for the TO that EAxis missed fixing (not including the issue I stated above).
• Episim’s cologne turn-on stops triggering and flower effects are removed.
• Episim’s Hard Worker TO edits.
• Some of PForestsim’s own turn-ons (but with slight edit changes).

What are the changes:

• New Icons + my own mashup (from The sims 4).
• New string names.
• Everything but the facial hair turn-on got replaced. It was the only one that I wanted to keep.
• Changed the values of skills, personality and interest.
• Vampires and active (transforming in the night) Werewolf won’t get eye colour TO triggers.
• Servo and Plantsims won’t get either hair or eye colour TO triggers.
• Plantsim will, however, default to green eye colour only.
• Alien trait from tammyhybrid21 that Episim used, removed.
• Any EPs checks, past the Mac version, were removed and there is no witch turn-on replacement.

Required mods:

You will need the 3t2 Trait for this mod to work.

Recommended:

If you use Lamare’s LTW mod and have the lamare_LTW_Robots package file, I suggest using my edit that redirects the servo check to where I placed it in my mod.

Translation:

So far, only english & brazilian portuguese translations are available. Even tho my family comes from Brazil, I’m still learning the language so any issues please tell me. I’m also open for anyone that would like to give me their translated version so that I can add it to the mod.

Conflicts:

• With any other turn-on replacement mod. Pick only one.
• With Tunaisafish’s Attraction Fix (Simler90 already fixed these issues, there is no need for this mod).
• With any UI mod out there, just have this mod load after the UI mod and you’ll avoid TO icons being replaced with the default Sims 2 icons.
• With any cologne/perfume mod that turns off the TO trigger or removes the flower effect (Mods like Midgethetree’s Zombie Controller works just fine with this mod)

Credits:

• [@episims](https://www.tumblr.com/blog/view/episims/) mod that I used and their tutorials that helped me make this mod possible.
• [@pforestsims](https://www.tumblr.com/blog/view/pforestsims/) mod that I used to transfer turn-ons that I liked over.
• Simler90 for fixes and having the Lua scripts that I needed to carry over.
• [@lazyduchess](https://www.tumblr.com/blog/view/lazyduchess/) making the Lua scripts readable so that I could understand what the heck I was editing.
• @buduwie for being patient with the ton of testing I made her go through 😅
• @jellymeduza Even if it was for a brief help, I still think you deserve a shout-out for trying to help .
