Mod The Sims - Five "Life Changing" Seasons Wells + Roofless

Less is More Roofless Wishing Well

If a Sim drinks from the Less is More Roofless Wishing Well, the results are the same as for the EA original - for example, regular Sims can cool off and PlantSims gain a strong boost to their Water requirements.

Like the EA well, the chance of a successful first wish for this well is 100%. In the case of the EA well, the chance of a successful wish drops rapidly with each wish made, so that at after five wishes all further wishes are sure to fail. The Less is More Roofless Wishing well has been reconfigured so that each wish drops the probability of success by 10%, so that not until the tenth wish does the probability drop to 0%. Note that if this well or the standard EA one is placed on a community lot, the chance of a successful first wish is always 100%, since the history of well usage is not saved when the lot is exited.

Covered & Roofless Plague Wells

These wells are intended to promote the spread of infectious disease throughout a neighbourhood. Sims who stand within about six tiles of a plague well are 95% likely to contract the "mysterious disease" over a period of only ten game minutes. Those who drink from the well will also be infected with the mysterious disease in the unlikely case that they have not already contracted it simply by being close to the well. Otherwise drinkers of well water will be infected with influenza (the flu).

Sims infected with the plague will gain a one-time "Caught the Plague!" memory.

The "mysterious disease" is actually the virus that can be manufactured or accidentally produced using the BioTech Station career reward, and the flu is normally a result of standing near roaches. Sims may recover from either infection if they have enough rest, or through cures such as Grandma's Comfort Soup or the Healing Well.

Sims will autonomously drink from the well if they are too hot or thirsty, or feeling dirty and uncomfortable. In addition to being infected, the Sim will suffer a sudden loss of comfort, hygiene (the Water need for PlantSims) and a temporary crash in mood. Players can disable the infectious properties of the well using a menu option.

As a wishing well, the Plague Well is a disaster. The success rate is only 10% for the first wish, dropping 1% with each additional use until it reaches 0% at the tenth wish. These wells are objects that sensible Sims should avoid like - well, the plague!

Covered & Roofless Cursed Wells

The Cursed Wells will give food poisoning to any Sim who drinks from them. Unlike the diseases that may be caught from the Plague Wells, the poisoning is completely non-contagious. A Sim may recover from the poisoning through rest, or by using any other curative method, including a Healing Well. But note that if a pregnant Sim drinks from the well, it is highly likely that the poison will cause a miscarriage.

Those who are poisoned will gain a one-time "Poisoned!" memory, and Sims who miscarry will gain a repeatable "Had a Miscarriage" memory.

Unfortunately for Sims, they may be spontaneously attracted to drinking from the poisoned well if they are feeling too hot, thirsty, or uncomfortable. Those who are poisoned immediately lose comfort, and also have temporary dip in Mood. But fortunately for Sims, the player may disable the poisoning features by using a menu option at any time.

As far as wishes go, the cursed wells perversely use a reversed probability curve to the one devised for the Less is More Roofless Wishing Well. The first wish has a 0% success rate so that it will always fail. Each wish thereafter increases the success rate by 10%, so that after nine wishes the success rate reaches 100%.

Covered & Roofless Healing Wells

Any ill Sim drinking from the well, or standing within about six tiles from the centre of the well will be cured of disease. Healing will occur for Sims standing near the well for ten game minutes or less, subject to a small (5%) chance of failure. The Healing Wells use an adaptation of the coding from Grandma's comfort soup to instantly cure any disease that a Sim may have. But unlike the Comfort Soup, the well will also cure morning sickness, but only if the Sim actually takes water from the well.

Each Sim who has been healed will have a unique "Healed!" memory.

Sims are attracted to drink from the well by their needs for cooling, for hygiene (water in the case of PlantSims), and for comfort. The wholesome nature of the water will completely restore a Sim's comfort and hygiene (the Water need for PlantSims), neutralize body temperature, as well as briefly maximizing Mood. The well's healing features may be disabled by a menu option if desired.

The Healing Wells use the same probability curve for wishes as described for the Less is More Roofless Wishing Well, above.

Covered & Roofless Fertility Wells

Inspired by the Tombstone of Life and Death, a Fertility Well can be used to impregnate the Sim who drinks from it with the "DNA" of any available Sim (including herself or himself) or with an NPC archetype such as the Alien (Pollination Technician). The thirty selected NPC archetypes were chosen from those who seemed interesting but would be difficult or impossible for a Sim to woohoo with during normal gameplay. Note that using the Fertility Well to impregnate a parent with the Ideal Plantsim will cause a standard pregnancy only - a toddler PlantSim needs to be spawned, not gestated.

These are the available NPC archetypes, selected from the Archetype sub-menus: Alien, Animal Control Officer, Big Boss, Bigfoot (BV), Bus Driver, Chef, Coach, College Cook, Evil Mascot, Father Time (Holiday), Firefighter, Genie (FT), Good Mascot, Grim Reaper, Hermit (BV), Ideal PlantSim, Mrs. CrumpleBottom, Nanny, Ninja (BV), Pirate Captain (BV), Police, Repo Man, Rod Humble (AL), Santa Claus (Holiday), Social Bunny, Social Worker, Spectral Assistant (AL), Therapist, Unsavory Charlatan (BV), Witch Doctor (BV). Several of these genetic sources are only available if you have the EP in which the NPC was introduced or any later EP (the minimum required EP, apart from Seasons, is indicated in parentheses). Note that the NPC will show up as a "parent" in the resulting offspring's family tree.

Any non-pregnant adult or young adult Sim, male or female - including a Bigfoot, servo or zombie - is considered "fertile" and may become pregnant after drinking from the well. Once a fertile Sim has finished drinking a "Make Me Pregnant with" menu option will appear for that Sim only. The "Make Me Pregnant with" option will remain available to that particular Sim until she or he either uses the option or another fertile Sim drinks from the well.

A Sim made pregnant by the well will gain a repeatable "Pregnant!" memory.

After drinking from a Fertility Well, pregnant Sims gain the menu option to "Have Twins" as well as to either "Accelerate Pregnancy" (on residential lots) or "Give Birth Now" (on non-residential lots). On residential lots, the "Accelerate" function causes all stages of pregnancy to be completed in less than four game hours. On non-residential lots, "Give Birth Now" causes the Sim to immediately enter the final trimester and then commence childbirth.

In the case of non-residential lots, please note that "Give Birth Now" is only available if the impregnation or conception occurred during the current visit to the lot - this option will be inaccessible during future visits. Also, you may be concerned that when a parent Sim leaves the non-residential lot the baby is left behind. However, when the Sim arrives home the baby will be found laying on the ground near the mailbox, none the worse for wear.

The Mode menu option allows the active Sim to enable the well in either a Local or Universal state. In Local mode, the selection of Sims as DNA sources and for Renaming is confined to the current lot; in Universal mode Sims from throughout the neighbourhood are available for selection. Note that the selection of archetypes as DNA sources remains the same in both Local and Universal modes.

Sims will drink from the well autonomously to relieve overheating, thirst in the case of PlantSims, and tiredness. All those who drink from an active well will maximize Energy (Power for Servos, Sunshine for PlantSims). Whereas for fertile Sims these are Fertility Wells, for non-fertile Sims they are simply "Vitality" wells. The fertility/vitality feature may be deactivated by selecting the "Disable" mode option.

Drinking from the well will also remove any garbage or glitched pregnancy controllers that may affect future fertility.

As an alternative to pregnancy, any teen, adult or elder Sim can simply "Wish For Baby with", and after navigating the menus a new child will appear in the Sim's arms. The baby will have genetics that combine the active Sim with an NPC archetype or any other available Sim, using a similar selection process to that described above.

Whether by pregnancy or wishing, both methods of having a baby will satisfy baby related wants and add the standard baby memories to non-archetypal Sim parents and grandparents (unlike the Tombstone of Life and Death).

With so many unusual genetic sources for creating a baby, you may find that the new child's full name is incomplete or not appropriate. For this reason the Fertility Wells also provide Rename Sim menu selections to change the first and last name of any available Sim or pet, young or old, dead or alive. Note that the EA dialogue box that enables this is cosmetically flawed, and you may find the text referring to a baby when you are actually changing the name of an adult Sim. Nonetheless the procedure is functionally reliable.

Unlike the three standard wishes, "Wish For Baby with" has unlimited use, with almost no chance of failure. In regards to the standard wishes - wealth, friendship and romance - Fertility Wells use the same probability curve as described for the Less is More Roofless Wishing Well, above.

Covered & Roofless Fertility Wells with Teen & Elder Support

The Teen & Elder Support Fertility Wells work identically to the standard Fertility Wells, except that they additionally allow teens and elders to become pregnant if the appropriate pregnancy hacks are available. For teen pregnancy Simbology's InTeenimater, Sim to Sim's Teen WooHoo/Pregnancy or BackAlleySims' Alternate Pregnancy Controllers are required. Elder pregnancy is also supported by the Alternate Pregnancy Controllers. It is pointless to install the Teen & Elder Support wells unless you are using one of these pregnancy hacks, and the wells will remind the player if the appropriate code is missing.

Covered & Roofless Ambrosial Wells

Ambrosia is the food and drink of the immortals. In the default or Blessing Mode, those who drink from Ambrosial Wells completely fulfill their needs for comfort, food (power in the case of Servos), and hygiene (water in the case of PlantSims). The blessed also achieve complete healing, and reset their ages back to the beginning of the current life stage.

But if the player so chooses, the default benefits can be overridden by menu selection, so that the Ambrosial Well acts as either an ordinary Neutral Well, or a Well of Damnation. In the Damnation Mode, drinkers lose comfort, food and hygiene points shortly before they are killed by lightning.

Those blessed by the well gain a unique "Drank Ambrosia" memory, and those who have been healed will have a unique "Healed!" memory (only if the Healing Well's "Healed" memory file is available). Sims who are struck dead will gain a repeatable "Killed!" memory - after all, death is not necessarily final when playing The Sims 2!

Sims will drink from the well autonomously to reduce heat, cleanse the body (take on water in the case of PlantSims), relieve hunger, and restore comfort. All of these needs will be completely satisfied, unless the player has chosen to convert the well to either its neutral or deadly mode.

Used as wishing wells, in Blessing Mode the Ambrosial Wells offer the highest success rates of all. At the first wish, there is a 100% chance of a good outcome. This probability reduces by 1% with each successive wish, until at the tenth wish the success rate is 90%.

In Damnation Mode the Ambrosial Wells use the same abysmal probability curve for successful wishes as the Plague Wells: only 10% for the first wish, dropping 1% with each additional use until it reaches 0% at the tenth wish.
