Interesting concept for a lowkey "hard mode", which I recently made a "loser" type sim for, so this would suit it very nicely.

If I could get day-night tracking to work, I could really cut down on the interaction overrides... unfortunately the game doesn't seem to want to cooperate

Can you make it so when the Sim gets angry he breaks stuff more? then gets sad and cries.

Would you also consider another increase in negative buff scores? I'm afraid I'm not seeing much of a difference! Or it might be my imagination or I may be thinking of the wrong thing. But I'd like our Pathetics to be miserable~

Yeah, that was the idea. I'll see what I can do
EDIT: Yeah, I COMPLETELY forgot about the ambience moodlets >.>

Ok, I just reuploaded. Decoration moodlets are now blocked, and high Needs makes them sad. If that isn't enough then I'll actually increase the negative buff scores.

One thing to note about the mood effect mapping I'm using is that it doesn't touch the UI: The 'Exhausted' moodlet is a +3 uncomfortable moodlet and will say so, but the game knows the real value.

Also can you make it so 'woohoo' makes the other Sim uncomfortable and "Performed Poorly" 100% of the time.

Gotta make it so the sim is pathetic in all ways .

See, I think it should be possible to make them happy (that's why I didn't go blocking mood types), but said happiness should be short-lived and easily overcome by much more negative emotions.

The death mechanic doesn't work for playing solo sim households-- I got my Pathetic sim killed and it was a Game Over that prompted me to either save or exit. Would you consider a tweak where instead of dying first, they're straight up immune to death?

What did he die from? The death mechanic is designed not to work for old age.

He was electrocuted when fixing the computer. There wasn't even a death animation, it was an instant game over pop-up. I checked for mods that affect death and I have none, if that would affect it.

Wait... was he in a tight space? I know that death interactions don't work if the sim doesn't have room to die. In that case the Sim is destroyed because the urn placement fails.

Oh... That would make sense. I have him in the crappy run-down apartment a pre-made sim lived in. The bedroom is rather cramped.. It would make sense there'd be no room for the Reaper to position and animate so it'd logically just skip the animation and game-over immediately. That's unfortunate. But at least it isn't an actual problem with your mod, which is good!

This is cool! And I'm guessing the not-dying flavor came from the Unlucky trait in the Sims 3, right?
