Hi everyone,

I've got a new mod I'd like for you to try!

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.

• Romantic:

  • Hidden if a Sim is Sad, Miserable, or Enraged.

• Friendly:

Integration with Growing Together:

If you have the Growing Together Expansion Pack and your Sim likes any Conversation Topics, their associated subcategories will always be visible unless the main category that they're in also happens to be hidden.

If you have the Growing Together Expansion Pack and your Sim dislikes any Conversation Topics, their associated pie menu subcategories will only appear when they're in the following 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.

• Compliments: Dazed or Happy mood.

• Complaints: Sad, Bored, Stressed, Scared, Uncomfortable, Embarrassed.

• Flirtation: Flirty or Dazed mood.

• Deception: Playful, Bored, or Dazed 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.

Let me know what you think after trying it out!

I recommend using Tidy Pie Menu along with this mod to ensure every interaction is filed under a category.
