Mod Updates Batch 2: (Patreon)

Please see the first Batch post for earlier updates!

Here's the details:

NEW MODS

20% Paranormal Investigator Pay- I made this mod ages ago but never uploaded it, apparently. Reduces pay for all Paranormal Investigator gigs to 20% of their normal value.

CRITICAL UPDATES
These mods received major/meaningful updates and must be redownloaded.

Natural Introductions- Added Horse Ranch and For Rent introductions. Made minor modifications to a handful of other Introductions. As this mod drastically alters contextual interaction names, it only affects English strings, as it would make less than zero sense in other languages.

Magical Focus Lot Trait- Added Strings to all languages, oops!

Nectar Overhaul- Nectar Recipes now updated to work with the For Rent mold system. Mod works fine without this update but you need it for the INCREDIBLY important function of "mold ghosts can autonomously spoil this item". Super mega important update. Not sarcastic at all. Not a bother at all to update this for something so stupid and pointless, it's fine. IT'S FINE

Take A Soak (Random Bath Soaks)- Added checks for Broken, Clogged, or Unheated Tubs.

GENERAL UPDATES
These mods received updates of significantly lower priority. But you should still make sure to have the most recent versions.

Wild Grass Rebalanced- Updating tuning to match EA's updates, which were all extraneous and completely irrelevant (they added things to the tuning that, if not in the tuning, are already defaulted to their added values. So basically they told it to do stuff it already does. But for consistency's sake, it's updated now.)

Punishing Energy Failure- Added a new flavor that doesn't knock your Sim out as long.

INFORMATION CHANGES

Roommate's Overhaul: Profitable Roommates- NO CHANGES, but note that this mod is probably not going to get expanded on due to For Rent's existence. It still works and still serves a purpose, as Roommates are still a relevant game mechanic and fun! I just won't be adding more functions to it, probably.

Werewolves Severe Sore Throat- NO CHANGES in any way, but the original Werewolf Overhaul post didn't even mention this mod despite it being in the downloads section. The post has been updated to mention this mod. It simply makes the Sore Throat buff werewolves can get from howling too much last much longer, to balance the effects of Howling lowering Fury.

Perform Seance Animation Fix- Deprecated! EA Fixed this one at some point. You can remove this mod.

VFX Traits- This didn't realy pan out as VFX usage is really limited. I won't be updating this or adding to it.

Home Chef Hustle Overhaul- This works just fine since all it does is reword some things, but is a feature-incomplete WIP and I might not ever go back to it, so it's a good idea to uninstall until/unless I ever update it, which I won't likely do until I get a hankering to use its features myself.

No Story Progression Ever- Removed and deprecated, as it was designed to solve a problem with Maxis story progression that turned out to be a by-design aspect of MC Command Center's Pregnancy Module (adding Kittens and Puppies to households).

Satisfying Preferences requires feature updates that require me to install some stuff, but still works just fine, it just doesn't account for a few preferences.

CLEARED BATCH

Guess what? It's everything!

All my mods have been cleared with one exception.

New Years Resolution Overhaul has been hidden. I need to revisit too much of how it works to optimize it so for now, I recommend removing it. The methods that it uses work, but the game doesn't always fire them, so it's...iffy. I can only get them to run maybe 60% of the time on additional tests. I think the game is losing track of what it's doing because it's doing two things at once...I don't know. I need to rebuild this to make it a certainty that the rewards occur 100% of the time, so it's gone for now.

Note that I have tested these mods to the best of my ability. There are always contingencies and situations you don't expect that might cause unexpected or hard to diagnose or notice problems, so please be sure to report if you notice anything odd!

Additional updates will likely be made in the background to adjust what are called "comments" on the tuning, which tell the reader what things are. The format changed in some ways recently and I want to fix all my mods to match, but this kind of update is completely ancillary to the user experience, and these updates won't be announced.
