Mods that Alter Social Interactions
for The Sims 1

All of the mods on this page use the PersonGlobals.iff file, which means that you need to choose WHICH set of mods you want, since you can only have ONE PersonGlobal.iff file in your game.  Each mod is described in more detail in its particular section; this list is just to help you find which section you want.

1.  Make Flirt with and Compliment available longer
2.  Make Entertain/Joke available longer
3.  Make families start out at the basic friend level of 50
4.  Both 1 and 2 -- Now no longer an empty folder -- SO sorry about that!
5.  Both 1 and 3
6.  Both 2 and 3
7.  All three

Thanks to EphemeralToast at ModTheSims for drawing these issues to my attention.


Flirt with and Compliment Friends Mod

In the unmodded game, the Flirt interaction disappears when your sim's relationship with another sim is over 60, and Compliment/Admire disappears when the relationship is over 40.  This mod changes that; Flirt and Compliment will still be available all the way up to 100.  My husband and I have been married for 32 years, and we still flirt with and compliment each another, so having those things disappear once sims know one another well seems strange and unrealistic to me.

DO NOT PUT THIS IN YOUR DOWNLOADS FOLDER!!!

INSTALLATION: This mod goes in your Maxis\The Sims\GameData\Global folder.  There are some other mods out there that also use the PersonGlobals.iff file;  you can only have one at a time in your GameData\Global folder.  I can make other versions of this mod -- ones that incorporate those other mods -- if there's enough interest.

Joke with Friends Mod

In an unmodded, game, sims lose the ability to tell a joke to someone when their relationship goes over 70.  So you can only tell jokes to acquaintances and casual friends, not to close friends?  In what universe does THAT make sense?

The Joke with Friends Mod lets you tell jokes all the way up to a relationship level of 100.  Because really, it probably takes someone who truly cares about you to enjoy those silly limericks. :-)

Families Are Friends Mod
In the unmodded game, families are created with a relationship of 20; this mod makes newly created families have a relationship of 50.  Because most of us don't live with people we barely know!  This also affects families of sims that the game creates, such as Anybodies and Stranges (but not Downtownies, which already spawn as friends with one another).  So if you marry a Strange in a neighborhood that generated its Stranges after you installed the mod, they come with friendships with all the other Stranges...

This mod affects only NEWLY CREATED families, so families that were made before you installed it will not be changed.

Combinations

Because PersonGlobal.iff contains a lot and controls so much, if you want more than one of these mods, you need them already made into a combination, because you cannot have TWO PersonGlobal.iff files in your game.  But don't worry; I've made them!

Choose ONE of the following:

All Three:  All Three: Flirt with & Compliment Friends AND Joke with Friends AND Families Are Friends.zip

Flirt with & Compliment Friends AND Joke with Friends:  Flirt with & Compliment Friends AND Joke with Friends Mods.zip Now no longer an empty folder -- SO sorry about that!

I hope you enjoy these mods!

I make these mods for my own use, but I go to the trouble of uploading them in an attempt to make my fellow simmers happy.  So if you enjoy any of these 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 these mods at ModTheSims or Reddit or send me a PM at either of those places; I'm Corylea at both.

Have fun!
