PLEASE READ
I, unfortunately, do not have time to continue actively working on this mod. I will update it to work with patches when I can, but it will no longer be expanded upon by me. If you wish to take what tweaks I have done and put them in something else, then go for it!
UPDATED FOR THE OCTOBER 2022 PATCH.
I removed the "NoTryForBaby" version of the mod, because after frequent testing it seems really unlikely a dazed Sim would accept trying for a baby anyway, with or without the mod.
What's this?
The Sims 2 and 3 gave us a variety of different Families and how they would behave with one another, from playful and adoring parents (Family orientated), to normal alright ones (No family trait) all the way to cruel and dark ones (Hates Children). You could mix and match parents with these traits and get some interesting and dramatic stories, but the Sims 4? It fails to address the opposite side of the perfect parent.
At present, Parents are either Goody two-shoes or amazing at meeting their child's needs, and always feel good about everything that happens involving a child...including those with the Hates Children Trait! This system is wrong. We lost our diverse family stories! It has become clear EA/Maxis will not be fixing these issues themselves, so you're stuck with me and my amateur programming!
NOTE: Please use WinRAR to extract the files if you encounter difficulties using winzip!
What it does
This mod is built into the Hates Children vanilla trait. Sims will get the "Ugh! Toddlers!" and "Ugh! Children" buffs with the Hates Children trait, even around their own children! All the usual things that Hates Children sims could do around other Sims kids, they can now perform on their own!
I highly recommend using this tweak with Lumpinou's "WooHoo Wellness" https://lumpinoumods.com/woohoo-wel...nancy-overhaul/ mod, which incorporates a lot of features I was originally going to do.
BUGS
So long as the patches don't mess with the vanilla trait, it shouldn't break. I will patch it if it does break, but please be patient.
CONFLICTS
This mod will not work with other mods that alter the Hates Children Trait. Tested with Parenthood DLC, and appears to function as normal.
TECHNICAL STUFF
The only files modified in the original mod are the trait_hateschildren(hidden) and trait_hatestoddlers(hidden) to make it so users of the default Hates Children Trait can still get the negative moodlets/buffs associated with the trait when around their sims own children.
