Is there a way to stop losing friendship with Emperor of Evil?

Post by Guestuser_1 » March 24th, 2024, 5:00 am

Hi, I'd like to place my sim into the evil branch at Criminal career, but I'm afrad of losing relationships from that red aura. I mean I'd like to make a secret emperor of evil concept, so the sims would know my sim is woking at Criminal career but no one recognize my sim is actually the emperor of evil in public. Would it be possible? Thanks.

I guess you could change this to zero with Retuner:

<FullClassName>Sims3.Gameplay.Careers.Criminal,Sims3GameplaySystems</FullClassName>
<FieldName>kAuraOfEvilParams</FieldName>
<SubFieldName>RelationshipToLose</SubFieldName>
<Value>-3</Value>

Or this, although I don't know whether it would work as intended:

<FullClassName>Sims3.Gameplay.Careers.Criminal,Sims3GameplaySystems</FullClassName>
<FieldName>kAuraOfEvilParams</FieldName>
<SubFieldName>VFXLength</SubFieldName>
<Value>3</Value>

The idea here is to either remove the lost relationship or to set the time of the Aura of Evil to zero, or both. You could also experiment with the other settings in the same location:

NRaas > Retuner > Settings > General > By Tunable XML > Sims3.Gameplay.Careers > Criminal > kAuraOfEvilParams

For example, you might change all the traits required for reactions (cheer, boo, run away) to a single trait you never use, so other sims don't react to the aura at all.

Thanks. It doesn't sound easy to make that. I can't test at the moment. I have only a sim had previously Master Thief. Is that ok to use other mods with Retuner? The retuner may have the same setting with the other tuning mods I have. Currently it's not installed in my game.

Retuner doesn't do anything unless and until you change one of its settings. Thus, it doesn't inherently conflict with any other mod. Retuner will override another mod's tuning if you change that same setting in Retuner, but it's not a conflict in the potentially game crashing sense.

Think of it this way: Retuner loads last, after all other mods, and at that time, it imposes its settings on the game. But it only imposes settings where you've chosen those settings explicitly; everything else is left the way it was before Retuner loaded. That means vanilla game settings except where you have a tuning mod, in which case that tuning mod's settings still apply.
