Helaene – Emotional Socials
This mod adds 60+ new social interactions which are dependent on your Sim’s emotional state.
As this is a script mod, you must enable script mods in your game options, and both files must be nested no more than one folder level inside your Mods folder.
All new social interactions are contained in new category pie menus, not within the traditional categories, for ease of finding. Many interactions are also available autonomously, so that you see a bit more flavor from your Sim’s interactions whether you’re actively playing them or not – though I’ve limited ones that have significant impact to not be performed autonomously. Most interactions are available to Child and older Sims, but some are limited to other age groups as appropriate.
