Lumpinou has saved the day!
After my first version of this mod started causing Last Exceptions, I had to take it down. But Lumpinou managed to recondoodle it to work, and better than before!
This mod returns social pie menu interactions to the traditional Friendly, Funny, Mean, Mischief, and Romantic categories! And now it adds the new category icons to them, making navigating a breeze!
The Sims 4 Social Menu update added a large number of specialized categories for social interactions. I found this really cluttered and nearly impossible to navigate. Alphabetical order under 5 categories is astonishingly easier to figure out than alphabetical order under 25+ categories. Now with the addition of Lovestruck dates and hangouts, we need to know what category an interaction is specified as. That's where the icons come in!
If you read the linked post above you'll get insight on why my method didn't quite work, and the only way I personally could've fixed it would've been a huge undertaking and pain. Lumpinou had an idea to make it easier for me, but with caveats like leaving out things that can't have these custom icons added, which I was fine with instead of not having anything at all. But then, unbeknownst to me, she...
REWROTE THE ENTIRE THING AS A SCRIPT FILE SO THAT EVERYTHING CAN HAVE THE NEW ICONS...AND ALSO HAVE THEIR EXISTING NAME-OR-ICON CHANGING FUNCTIONALITY!!!!
Not only will every interaction be in the main categories, not only will they have their relevant icons, but they'll even work with EA functionality for changed names for holidays, traits, etc!
No longer will we wonder which interactions that start with "Complain" count as "Complaints"! Ok, bad example.
But check this out- in my game, it's currently "Crime Is Legal Day!", and one of the traditions is Mischief Spirit. So these Mean interactions all have the hand buzzer icon, because the Holiday is defining which icons theinteractions have! Once the holiday ends, they go back to normal! Wow!
This was the EA functionality that broke my version of this mod, and Lumpinou has completely circumvented it! HOORAY!
Additionally, I put together a cheat sheet to help you remember which icon means what, or find interactions easily based on type when having a normal conversation and trying to appeal to another Sim's preferences!
If you don't want the icons, you can use the existing version without icons instead of this one. If you do want icons, remove that one and install this one! They cannot be used together, for obivous reasons!
EVERYBODY SAY "THANK YOU LUMPINOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
