Turn this magic crystal ON, and need decay stops completely.  You can still increase or decrease a need if you DO something, though.  What this mod stops is need DECAY.  For example, if you work out on the exercise machine, your Energy and Hygiene will decrease, just as they always do when you use the exercise machine.  But needs won't decay simply from time passing.

Need decay resumes when you leave the lot where the crystal is located, so it won't prevent need decay at work, and if you go Downtown or to Studio Town or someplace like that, you'll need a crystal on the lot you go to.  Just click on it and choose "Freeze My Needs" to stop need decay again.

Turn the crystal OFF again, and your needs go back to decaying in the usual way.

As many sims as wish to may use this crystal, but it only works if the active sim clicks on it, so it can't freeze the needs of guests or of Downtownies or other non-playable sims unless you use a mod or cheat to make them selectable.

       

It looks like a blue crystal on a gold base and can be found in the Decorative - Sculpture section of the catalog.  Since this is a new object, it goes in your Downloads folder as usual.

If what you want is something that will keep your needs FULL, even if you use the exercise machine or plant crops or whatever, get the Please Yourself Plant from Inge Jones at Simlogical.  Her wonderful plant fills your needs to maximum twice an hour, so they're basically always full.  My mod is intended to stop need decay in certain special situations; it's not intended to eliminate the need for the player to attend to sims' needs completely, because Simlogical already has a mod for that. :-)


I hope you enjoy this!

Best wishes,

Corylea


I made these mods for my own use, but I went to the trouble of uploading them in an attempt to make my fellow simmers happy.  So if you enjoy any of my mods, I'd love to hear about it!  I don't get mail at corylea.com, but you can leave a comment in the thread announcing my mods at ModTheSims or Reddit or send me a PM at either of those places; I'm Corylea at both.

Have fun!
