TRANSLATIONS AVAILABLE:

See here: https://lumpinoumods.com/translations/

MANY THANKS to Ashley, RavenAstra, ToriGamez and Mia16 at Discord. You know why.Thanks to Frank for helping me spot a mistake that was driving me crazy and for his general awesomeness on the modder's forums.

VERSIONS:

- NoTimeDecay: impressions decay only when new sentiments try to apply- WithTimeDecay: impressions decay with time, like moodlets. They also decay when new sentiments try to apply

- IntroTypeMatters:

This makes it so that the type of introduction used (Rude, Friendly, etc) impacts the possible first impressions made. A funny introduction has a good chance of causing a funny impression, and etc. Remove it if you don't want it!

- PostConversationMoodlets:

This makes it so that conversing with Sims towards whom there exists a first impression, moodlets have a chance of being allocated (playful moodlet after talking to a Sim considered funny, etc). The moodlets don't happen each time of course - but in case you still find them too much, you can remove this file and won't get them anymore.

DOWNLOAD & Installation:

1 - remove files from previous versions, if any

2a - REQUIRED: Lumpinou's Toolbox Library-Mod.If you don't already have it, grab the REQUIRED "Lumpinou's Toolbox" Library-Mod here (alt: here), and put it into your mods folder or one subfolder, NO DEEPER.

2b - REQUIRED: Lumpinou's Mood Pack Mod.If you don't already have it, grab the REQUIRED "Mood Pack Mod" (alt here), and put it into your mods folder.

3 - grab the .zip file from this post (link below), extract the contents, and put them into your mods folder or one subfolder.

This mod is no longer working for me since I downloaded the RPO!

lumpinou

Hi, did you read on rpo's m17 page how chemistry and first impressions work together?

Monathesimmer

Is this compatible with the new update? Thank you so much for your beautiful and hard work. Your amazing!

ChelleBelle716

Hi! So the Zip file for the time delay version has 2 script files in it. Is that correct?

lumpinou

Hmm no should be only one the one with the shorter name

ChelleBelle716

There looks to be both a base script file and then a time delay specific script file.

Simslegacy

Glad you left the 3 day! I debated putting this back in; its fantastic but wasn't sure I "needed" it. Then I remembered its THE reason one of my favorite couples hit my radar as a possible couple in the first place 😊... because it brought Ed and Kori together it stays!

Sidney Johnson

I know you are a bit overwhelmed right now so I feel bad commenting! I am getting a Better Exceptions notification that this has "bad tuning." Not sure if I am doing something wrong. Thanks for your great work!

lumpinou

Hi, you are probably missing the required mood pack mod

lumpinou

Hi, first impressions has existed a very long time and hasn't had any error in it in forever. Please tell me what the error summary is, but I suspect it has nothing to do with this mod

Amanda Kenny

Hi there, I'm not sure if I am doing something wrong or if there is a mod conflict. But none of my sims get first impressions with anyone. I have used this mod for ages but since updating with this last version it doesn't appear to work in my game anymore. I use the 3 day decay version. Thank you for all your hard work! Your mods honestly change the game!

lumpinou

Hi, If you use RPO M17, check the download page of m17 for some info on how first impressions and it work together and let me know if that answers your case :)

Dolores

Hi Lumpinou, I have the same issue, you commented on my post on twitter recently about it. I went through all the settings to check everything out, ran conflict BE and everything seems fine. Yet neither FI or Chemistry is triggering at introductions, I even tried to regenerate FI manually on a sim and it just didn't do anything. I am really at loss what to do. I wanted to keep RPO M17 as I love to use it in the dating app. I really don't know what to try :(

lumpinou
>>106255564

Hi, Then I would suggest typical troubleshooting steps, such as re-downloading both mods and trying on new Sims with no other mods installed. Lmk! :)

Dolores
>>106255564

I just tested it with only RPO (all modules), mood pack &FI and it seems to work, but only for sims in the same age range. Adults gets FI with other adults, but not with teens, teens only with teens, etc. And I thought that it will always be either FI or Chemistry, but in sim profiles I can see both on some sims. Is that correct? Is there a way to make FI work on all sims? I then tried FI alone and then is suddenly works on adults/teens too, but not even kids with kids? I think FI used to work on children or am I mistaken?

lumpinou
>>106255564

It was never available for children no. They have different traits so it wouldn't work properly. If you have both impressions and chemistry on same sim, I'd wager you have 'intro type matters' installed, which the instructions say to remove as it is not compatible with m17 at the moment. For teen / adult, I'll have a look, I'll let you know :)

Dolores
>>106255564

Oh I see, I feel dumb then, I reread the descriptions so many times yesterday and still managed to misread something... I will delete the intro matters and put back M17, hopefully it will solve the issue for me. Thanks for looking into teen/adult situation and thank you for the patience, I am usually much more bright when it comes to mod descriptions, but I guess my attention wasn't all there.

lumpinou
>>106255564

Let me know how that goes! And no worries. It gets confusing. It is confusing for me too sometimes lol

Dolores
>>106255564

Well, unfortunately as soon as I put M17 back FI (without the file that was messing it up) & chemistry stop working for me - no FI generates nor does chemistry shows in the panel. I guess it has to somehow conflict with one of my other mods as this is in my fully modded game. But it is strange that when I run Better exceptions conflict report I don't see nor First Impressions or RPO M17 listed as conflicting with anything. So okay, I am giving up and I will put M17 out as without it FI works well for me even with all my mods. Thank you for all your help anyway <3

lumpinou
>>106255564

Are you sure you have the latest version of m17 and rpo core ? Chemistry not showing sounds like not. The status were invisible for a while due to the patch :) Everything is fine here and behaves as coded to behave. Regardless, no worries, and have a good day

Dolores
>>106255564

Yes, I updated everything today again, I tested it and it just behaves very strangely for me, so I just removed M17 altogether, I can live without it and I am just tired of trying to figure out what is the problem as it seems like it works with some sims and it doesn't with others. It is okay, I appreciate your help, I am sure it is a problem within my game, not your mods. Hope you have a good weekend <3

AngeHellback

This mod will be very interesting in a role play storie/challenge !

Deeh Sims

Olá, vc pode por o link aqui da versão atualizada?

Katia

Hello Lumpinou, yesterday I noticed that two of my teen sim gotten the 'Anti-Crush' but with their family members. One teen had the anti-crush with her aunt and the other with her sister. Is that intended?

lumpinou

Hi, that's blocked from family, and also it is impossible for family to get first impressions as they know each other automatically and therefore don't get them. Sounds like you have another mod messing with things

Katia

Figured as much but the only other mod I have that has to do with crushes is the 'Pre-Teen' Add on. I guess there is no harm to remove it since I haven't use it in awhile. Thanks for the quick reply =)

Toni Franklin

I never get first impressions i used to but then it stopped any possible reasons why?

lumpinou

Hi, if you use rpo m16, check its download page for info on how it works with FI and check your settings

RoshySims

The translation is in Spanish on my Patreon page.

lumpinou

Hi, there was an update at some point that made that info irrelevant so maybe I removed it, I'll have to review the phrasings. Thanks!

Myschka

Hi, might be a Patreon issue, but i see multiple zips for the same version of the mod (the time decay version), one with a script file and one with just package files. Which is the correct one ?

lumpinou

Hi, it is a Patreon issue, it shows files that don't exist, and I can't remove them because they aren't in the post. The first two links are the correct ones

Pukitaki

Is there any chance we could get a version with 7 days instead of 3? I thought I might just open up S4S and tweak it myself, but I can't actually figure out where the duration is for the sentiments...

Effie A

This doesn't seem to be working for me - first impressions don't happen when sims meet and I can't trigger them through the usual cheat but all the sentiments are available by cheats?

lumpinou

Hi, sounds like an installation problem, run a scan on Mod Hound and also check installation tutorial, and if still having issues you'll have to come to the Discord for further analysis of the situation as Patreon can't handle file sharing

Anonymous

yay thank you c:

Trapgirlkayy

replacing the testing version now and hopping in :)

Ms. Book

oooohhhhhhh la la <3

mumu

I can’t wait to explore it

Stephanie

You literally amaze me. This is incredible! I can’t wait to try it out!

lumpinou

I hope it'll meet expectations 😊

Shynamon

Im having trouble trying to download the file

lumpinou

Refresh your browser page, I edited the post so it does that :)

Shynamon

Oh, I got it. Thankies and I admire your creativity and brilliant brain. Keep up the good work ♥

lumpinou

Thanks for your support. Glad the download worked this time

Dana Anna

This is so amazing! I love this. I missed the one sided relationships from sims 2.

lumpinou

I do wish unisided relationships were possible in Sims 4! What a sad choice they made there!

Kaedeo

OH MY GOD!!! This is exactly what I wanted for a very, very long time, but couldn't find anywhere! In particular, the Crush and anything connected with unrequited love parts. Lumpinou, you're my hero <3 Thank you so much for your hard work, creativity and imagination.

Belsasim

Thank you! Can't wait to test this out in my game, it looks amazing.

Aazee

Thank you <3

Pauline

Omg thank you!! You are so damn talented.

Kimikosoma

Wahow that seems...amazing is not a strong wrong enough so IDK what to say !! Can't wait to translate and try it on !! Oh, I haven't updated my game to November 7th update (waiting for some mods to be updated as SOL) ; do you think it can still work in my game ?

Vidde

Thanks for this! I actually went on Patreon to see if this was out yet, and it was! <3

Evangelina Silvercloud

Absolutely fantastic!!! Can't wait to test it in my game. Thank you sooo much for all your hard work! Stay healthy. Lovely regards from Austria

LuckyDayes

I am so excited for this! I'm using all my willpower to hold back and study for finals before I bury myself in the sims haha :) Thank you so much for all that you do! I deeply appreciate your work and the time you put in to add depth to the game. I have my fingers crossed that Vicky Sims collab is coming on this.

Kaedeo

*I have my fingers crossed that Vicky Sims collab is coming on this.* - My thoughts exactly! That would be absolutely awesome. (P.S. Also, good luck with the finals! :) )

lumpinou

I'm not familiar with this creator, where can they be found? If creators express to me that they'd be ok with their traits integrated in the system I can do it. Provided the traits in question also interest me 😅 but I'm sure they would

assets

I'm so excited!!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳

SunnyKells

You're so amazing!!!!

Dianee Green

I downloaded put it in mod but I don’t see it 😩

lumpinou

How deep in did you put the files? Do you have scrip mods enabled? If you go to the actions menu, do you see a menu saying 'First Impressions'?

Dianee Green

Now it’s working i I had to reset sims

lumpinou

Strange, but glad it's all good now! :)

Jeanna Hicks

I love this! It popped up when my Sim met another Sim at a bar and she got a negative impression. It was really neat to see that.

genmalone

Loving this mod! Everyone thinks my sim is annoying, I had no idea. This really adds so much depth!

wannabgamer92

are you using the flexible one or strong version?

Mimi

Thank you so much for this, it's a really interesting looking mod. I've installed loads of your mods over the last couple of weeks and they're such good quality and add so much to the game!

genmalone

I started with the flexible version but then I would forget who my sims likes etc after a while so I switched to the strong version. I like the idea of lasting first impressions and having to work hard to overcome them!

lunarella

This is an amazing idea and adds another touch of realism to the game, thank you so much!! ✨

Temesha Hostetler

I use many traits from Kiara and Chingyu, so I am very happy to see you all collaborating on this great mod! Also, I appreciate the detailed descriptions you give about your mods. This one especially helped me to understand Sentiments better.

Inky

I love this mod! Question though how can traits by MuvaSimmer and YourFalseHope get added to this? 😍🙂

Inky

Oh! Also is there a way to force a sim to have a crush on my sim? Right now I think it only works one way and the crush is from my sim to another not the other way around... but maybe I missed how to do that.

lumpinou

I could add a reverse of that interaction, that's no issue. As for how traits get added - I look at them, see if I think they'd fit, then creators talk with me, then we see if I add the stuff or not.

Inky

Cool! Thanks for the reply!

Kristina

I can't even tell you how much I love this mod. It's super fun to check to see what each sim thinks of the other when they first meet, especially with my sim who's trying to get famous, lol. It so realistic that some fans don't think she's a golden god 😂 Had a question for you. I wanted to try Zero's Longer Sentiment mod for my long life-spans (it's here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/se-some-last-44362504), but I'm assuming it's going to conflict with your time decay version? I've been using your time-decay version, but I'm going to test your no-time-decay version with Zero's mod. In the meantime, wanted to see what you thought.

lumpinou

Zero's mod just overrides the game files. It will have no impact on any of my custom sentiments :)

Miri D

This is my new most favorite mod! I am always SO excited now when my sims meets someone new! Thank you so much for the work on this!

Brianna Rahuba

I'm having issues getting this mod to show up in my game. I have both this mod and the required mood mod on this game. I understand why the mood mod doesn't really show up but I couldn't really figure this one out. I also have your pregnancy overhaul mod which works with no problems whats so ever. The mod files aren't in a subfolder and I kept all the parts necessary for it to work but I replaced the first files just to make sure and the pie menu doesn't come up for it either. I'm genuinely clueless on how to get this mod to work.

lumpinou

What files do you have? Not sure what you mean by 'the pie menu' and 'replaced the first file', can you explain ?

Souris Whiskerton

Do you know what would happen if a sim has only custom personality traits? Would this mod generate a random impression sentiment for that sim?

lumpinou

If there are only custom traits then the only possible impressions would be interesting, crush or disliked

Kiara Kearse

I love the mod, but don't see anything about crushes when I play or even a cheat menu. Is there something else I need to download for that?

Emma Baird

Because they was a new update is this Mod ok to download with no issues

lumpinou

Yes all my mods are fine with the latest patch

oxco

Hi! I love this mod so much but I think I am having a problem with it. When I play and go to have my sim introduce herself one of the option is blank. I am not sure what is happening but I would be happy to direct message to try and figure out the exact issue.

lumpinou

Sounds like you just don't have one of the packs that has an introduction interaction, and you have the optional file that makes introduction type used influence impressions

oxco

oh ok so I just need to get rid of the introduction type influencing impression and then everything will be peachy?

Elise Hu

Hi!Lumpinou . It’s me again! I am so happy to let you know I completed the translation of your Mood Pack Mod！I also translated your First Impression to test if the mood pack works fine. I already put your personal website & both of these two mods patreon download address on my post. If your fans need Chinese packages of your mod they can download them here: https://www.sglynp.com/t114499 or if you need anything like string table etc... please don’t hesitate to contact me. Thank you allow me to translate your fascinating mods!

AllyCat

Hi there! First of all, Thank You! This is probably my favorite mod of all time, with woohoo wellness coming in a close second. You're an amazing creator, and I'm continuously impressed by what you do! Anyway, I'm just wondering if the custom traits from the creators you're collaborating with are recognizable in this version of the mod? I've never downloaded any custom traits, but I'm thinking about grabbing some from the those creators. Just curious! Thanks again for all of your work- it's appreciated! :D

quixoticlanguor

Hello Lumpinou! Thanks for this awesome mod. I just wanted to comment that, I noticed with this mod whenever my Irresponsible Sim meets someone, the other person gains a sentiment noting that my Sim is very responsible! I'm unsure if this is a feature or something that has been overlooked, so I figured I would bring it up. (It's pretty funny either way, that everyone seems to think they have their stuff together when they don't, haha!)

lumpinou

Sorry for taking forever to notice this message! No I haven't added support for other creator traits but I'm close to doing it

lumpinou

That is very funny, I don't think they should be getting this impression no 😂

Oliver Clark

Hi Lumpinou, loving your mods - they really add to the depth of gameplay. I've only just started using this mod but I noticed that my YA sim got the first crush sentiment on a teen sim. Was it intentional for this to be able to happen? I don't have any mods that enable teen/adult romance, though I do have a few that affect romance like WonderfulWhims. I also noticed that my sim seems to have two sentiments towards her (Interesting Sim and Crush), whilst the teen sim only has one first impression, like I thought was meant to happen.

Martine

Hi Lumpinou. I'm having a strange issue. When I click on one of my sims, the first impression is blank. In fact, everything is blank except for the traits. It certainly wasn't this way before as the sims was my played sim's fiance. It had all the usual information. Traits, sentiments, attractiveness (from WW) and first impression. Now, the weirdest thing is that once I click on this profile, I am no longer able to open any sim profile. The windows simply never opens. For now my work around is not to open this particular sims window. It doesn't matter all that much since he is now an ex, but I thought I should mention this strange bug. PS I tried removing the first impression and regenerating it but still the same things happen.

lumpinou

There's EA bugs with the sim profiles like this due to the new preference systems. It is unrelated to mods.

Martine

Thanks for letting me know

Daylight meteor

Amazing creation, I want to tell you, you are super excellent!! Wish you good health!

Kristina

Just an FYI, the zip file for Lumpinou_FirstImpressions_v1_WithTimeDecay_10days_July20 is inside the Lumpinou_FirstImpressions_v1_WithTimeDecay_5days_July20 zip folder. No big deal to delete it, but wanted to let you know.

lumpinou

Ahrrrgghhhh nooo! I will fix that thanks!

Perfect Cyan

Will you be updating this mod at a later date? Or is this version still compatible with the most recent update?

lumpinou

All my mods are compatible with the latest game version :)
