Mod The Sims - Dale Deaf Trait (V2.0 out now!)

To Make it Clear: XML Injector is required to run the mod in its complete state.

Update 09/10/2021: No huge update today; just adding a min_lod value that has been missing hitherto, in an effort to minimize last exceptions.

Update 28/08/2021:

The structure of the trait has been rebuilt from the ground up in order to fix the accommodations issue! (Literally; if you already have the trait present in the save, you will need to buy it for the affected Sim again.) And by fix, I mean workaround.
From now on, the base trait of Deaf is free. The accommodations have been converted into reward traits of their own, that are only purchasable with the Deaf trait already bought. You can only buy one accommodation for each Sim, so choose wisely! From least to most expensive they go Lip Reading, SSL, Hearing Aids, and Cochlear Implants.
Speaking of hearing aids and implants... the batteries sadly still do not work, at least not as intended. Nor does the taking out and putting in of hearing aids work. For now, those options have been removed while I look for further solutions ~~that don't involve begging for help~~.
Some of the buffs that were previously present may have been changed as a result of the restructuring; please keep this in mind.

Update 10/06/2021:

I'm afraid it's a rather sparse update today compared to what I wanted to produce. First and foremost, cochlear implants have been added! ...sort of. They've been added in the respect that the framework is there. The battery component has not, nor has it been added for hearing aids; I attempted to make it work but I'm genuinely struggling with the current knowledge and resources I've got.
Two minor tweaks, in addition: the text for the SSL description has been changed, and a replacement buff for Noisy Neighbours has been added.
Unfortunately, I'm also still struggling with fixing the bug of you having to select the accommodations twice to get them to stick. I thought I'd found a method earlier in the week, but during testing that out a lot of things started going wrong everywhere. I deeply apologize this thing isn't as polished as it should be If anyone has any ideas as to what in the Watcher's name I'm doing wrong here, advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Update 28/05/2021:

This traits has been updated to take Likes and Dislikes into account. Music preferences are now effectively turned off for any variation of deafness except for Hearing Aids; those with Hearing Aids get unique text in their corresponding buffs, plus an extra +1 Happiness point for music likes!

Update 22/05/2021:Chinese translations by alecgao888 available here and here!

Update 20/05/2021:

This trait is now a Reward Trait, just as was originally intended! It can be bought for 100 Satisfaction Points. The CAS version has now been removed, though if you do decide you'd rather have it as a CAS trait let me know and I'll pop it back up.
In addition to the new reward version, another has been added that is compatible with Lumpinou's Mood Pack!

Let me know if there's anything else I can do between this update and the next to make the trait as smooth-functioning as possible.

---------

Since my Eating Disorder Pack has gone down so well, I thought I'd try my hand at another trait - this time, covering deafness and being HoH! This was originally intended to be a reward trait, but for whatever reason nothing I do to make it such is working, be it in Mod Constructor or Sims4Studio. It's poor taste to ask for help when I've already got a 'help' thread going, though, so for the moment it's a CAS Social trait for the sake of it being accessible and releasable.

Statistic Multipliers

All musical instrument skills, DJ Mixing, Singing, Media Production, Child Social, and Career Performance for Entertainer increase half (0.5 multiplier) as fast (with the exception of when Hearing Aids or Cochlear Implants are in, when the multiplier jumps to 0.8)

Occasional Buffs

OWW - Dazed +4 (15 Sim minutes, Hearing Aids on only)

11 Continuous Loots to be found

This trait does not affect autonomy or need decay, nor does it have any whims or proximity buffs.

For a list of things to do/fix, go to this pack's Trello page here! The current top priority is getting the batteries to work and fixing that damn selection bug.

Thank you again for your interest! Let me know if there's anything I need to fix or that you'd like to see.
