Features Disabler

There are so many features I want to remove, and they all come at me while I'm testing something. This mod does just that, removes features.
The main file is required for some of the modules to work.

UPDATES:

• 02/10/2025: Added Relationship Satisfaction Disabler (Lovestruck)

• 26/09/2025: Patch Update. Added disable environmental moods.

Basegame

• Disable Fears (Main file required): removes fears as soon as they get added to Sims, Maxis and modded fears alike. These can be used independently as they don't require each other. 

• Sexual Orientation:

  • Disable Tests : unlocks the romantic interactions from the tooltip added by the Sexual Preferences patch.

  • Make Everyone Bisexual : if you change it in CAS it'll change it back to bisexual effectively disabling the feature and bringing the game back to a pre-patch state.

  • Remove Interactions : removes the two interactions "Ask About Romantic Interest" and "Ask About Woohoo Preference".

• Romantic Boundaries are Non-Negotiable : The recently added feature allowing Sims to change their romantic boundaries through conversation introduces a problematic dynamic: it frames personal boundaries, especially regarding romantic and physical preferences, as negotiable and subject to persuasion. This undermines the idea that such boundaries are intrinsic, not something to be overridden through social or romantic leverage.

  Worse, the game ties the success of these persuasion attempts to the strength of the existing romantic relationship. This implies that once enough romantic progress has been made, a Sim is more likely to compromise on boundaries they previously held. I find this logic not only flawed but discomforting, as it blurs the distinction between consent and emotional pressure.

  This mod removes the “Ask to Change Romantic Boundaries” interactions entirely. It restores boundaries to what they should be: fixed unless changed deliberately by the player, not subject to in-game persuasion mechanics.

• Disable Environment Buffs [NEW] : removes all moodlets coming from decoration and environment.

Discover University

• Remove Bikers Outside Britechester : sims will stop spawning on bikes outside Britechester. Sadly this can't be filtered by region without altering the walkby directors.

Eco Lifestyle

• Disable Trash Diver : removes the Sim that randomly comes to rummage in the rubbish, stand-alone.

Growing Together

• Disable Burnouts (Main file required): gets rid of this awful annoying stupid feature. There was already a "Needs a Break" buff and a "Writer's Block" buff in game, there was no need whatsoever for this shit. 

High School Years

• Body Hair Growth : No, thanks. I know you can go in every singe category in CAS and disable growth one by one but I got sick of doing that very fast and nuked the feature. Body hair growth will still show enabled in CAS but no growth can happen as long as you have this file.

• Puberty Changes Socials : hides the "support body/facial hair/acne" (?!?) "joke about body/facial hair/acne" etc... cause they couldn't come up with anything better related to puberty than this lame shite and some stupid moodlet.

Life And Death

• No Forced Bucket List : I tried to like it, but I don't. I don't like that it unlock bonuses overtime without doing nothing to engage with the feature, I don't like that it adds goals on its own. You can still play with the feature if you decide to, the mod only stops the goals auto unlock and the progression without active engagement.

• No Nude Moon-bathing : my suspicion that there is some fetishist in the devs team, who's also a furry, increases with every EP.

• Remove Spectres : destroys these floating condoms from the world on loading the zone.
  
  
  It takes two minutes for the mod to work so when you load the zone, the floating condoms will be there but will disappear after two minutes. You probably don't want to nuke them if you intend following Maxis quests with the new NPCs, they seem to have some interactions regarding that and the family festival.

  

Lovestruck

• Remove NPCs Date Situations : I had 10...10 fucking couples in the park while testing another thing. Needless to say I quit the game and nuked this shit. I'll probably come up with a different way to tune it down while preserving the situation without having to edit all the freaking walkby directors where they injected it. For now I'm in the "get this BS out of my game" phase.

• Relationship Satisfaction Toggle [NEW] : Another feature I don't like: the relationship satisfaction from Lovestruck. I didn't disable it altogether, I just disabled the automatic tracking. You can manually enable or disable tracking the relationship satisfaction for a couple from the "change relationship" menu (the romance must already exist between the two sims for the interaction to appear).

Snowy Escape

• No Auto Unlock Lifestyles : another feature I tried very hard to like, but I don't. This prevents lifestyles from being unlocked through gameplay, because it always unlocks the same anyway. It leaves the cheats and the computer interaction.

• Lifestyles Unlock Cheat : moves the cheats from the cheat menu to the regular one to quickly add and remove lifestyles to Sims, twin mod of the one above to take full control of the feature.

• No Forced Slow Experience [Moved From Minor Annoyances post] : disables the forced "Slow Experience" feature. The feature can be enabled for a Sim from an interaction.

Multi Packs

• Nuke Useless Notifications & Discovery Quests [^] : disables the annoying discovery quests you get at the beginning of a new save.  Disables Some annoying notifications: San Myshuno Festivals: you get notifications only in San Myshuno. Mt. Komorebi Festivals: you get notifications only in Mt. Komorebi. Ravenwood Festivals: you get notifications only in Ravenwood. Nuked completely: HSY Thrift store notifications, earbuds notification, Social Media post reminders ("A lot of Social Bunny-worthy things happened to {0.SimFirstName}..." that bs).

• Preferences and Relationships/Family Dynamics Popups : I've been playing the game a bit in the evening lately and I've been trying the family and relationships dynamics. Like nearly everything they've been adding to the game over the past 3 years, I don't like them. The good news is that they can be ignored entirely, the bad one is that the game won't allow you to because it keeps giving pop-up asking to set a relationship/family dynamics each time Sims interact, much like the preferences. Aside from this, between the relationships pop-ups, the family pop-ups, the career chance cards, the preferences pop-ups, the parenthood pop-ups etc, the game is a goddamn pop-ups simulator at this point. This file disables the relationship/family dynamics and preferences pop-ups. It does not disable the features, they can still be set in CAS.
