Description: These Sims become Happy when giving or receiving massages, doing yoga or meditation, or visiting a Spa. They can also Discuss Meditation with other Sims.
Ages: Teen to Elder (Child Sims can’t do yoga) Category: Personality > Hobby Requires Spa Day GP
Mod Design The Spa Day game pack is fun, Wellness-skill items and all. However, a lack of a CAS trait in the DLC left a space for this kind of mod to fill in and enrich the new content.
Features Two New Buffs: Nothing drastic, but these two unique buffs have roots in the Active and Dance Machine traits respectively. Well, Well, Well!: +1 Happy for 4 hours while a Well-Aligned Sim is doing an activity that builds Wellness (e.g. yoga, meditation, etc.) Reveling in Spa Day: +1 Happy continuous while a Well-Aligned Sim is at a Spa Venue.
New Interaction: Discuss Meditation: A reskin of the Debate Best Captain interactions, but it only requires the interaction’s initiator to have the Well-Aligned Trait, allowing a Sim to advocate the benefits of mindfulness and Om. All assets come from the base game and Spa Day, but it gives one more option for players wanting more topics to discuss.
Don’t forget to enable script mods. Otherwise, this new interaction will not appear in the game.
Whims: Become Focused, Buy a Massage Table, Buy a Meditation Stool, Buy a Yoga Mat, Discuss Cognitive Focusing Methods with X, Do a Yoga Routine, Drink Lemon Honey Detox Tea, Give a Massage, Level Up in Wellness Skill, Meditate on the Meditation Stool, Offer Mental Relaxation Tips to X, Prepare Sugar Free Carob Coconut Cake, Prepare Superfood Salad, Recommend Self Esteem Exercises to X, Share Detox Secrets with X, Suggest Visualization Techniques to X, Get a Foot Massage, Get a Hand Massage, Get a Massage from a Massage Therapist.

a year later………i bring you………. TOP SURGERY SCARS, NEW AND IMPROVED!!!! the first set of scars were alright, but this time around i wanted a cleaner, maxis-matchier version with more skintone options. so here it is! details and download links below the cut.
Happy Pride Month! In its honor, I will be answering an ask that I have had sitting in my box for a couple of months concerning LGBT representation in the series over the years. Anon, don’t worry- I haven’t forgotten about you.
The history of LGBT representation in The Sims is not as straightforward as it may seem. In the original game, gender preference is not a feature, meaning that all sims behave as bisexual in game. As a result, same sex relationships are possible, but such couples cannot get married, though they are able to move in together and adopt children.
In The Sim 2, some progress is made; same sex couples are allowed to enter into committed relationships, and the very first premade LGBT characters are introduced. Marriage is not available to same sex couples. Instead, they can enter into joined unions, which are likely based off of the civil unions that were legal only in some US states at the time of the game’s release. The joined unions as presented in the game are understandably controversial, and the wants for entering a joined union yield 3,000 less aspiration points than those for getting married. There are several mods out there that enable marriage for same sex couples.
As for LGBT premades, none of the storylines expressly indicate a sim’s gender preference as anything other than straight, but there are several notable characters whose in game preferences are gay or bisexual. In the base game, sims such as Kent Capp and Nervous Subject have a preference indicating that they are gay, while Circe Beaker, Titania Summerdream, and Ariel Capp all start off as bisexual. Additionally, there is a sim, Jason Cleveland of Belladonna Cove, in Apartment Life who has a preference for males, and many others who players speculate are gay, such as roommates Max Flexor and Mitch Indie from The Sims 2: University.
Marriage equality was introduced into the series in The Sims 3, where sims of any gender can date, propose to, and marry any sim they want. These couples can adopt children, just as they could in the first two games, or if The Sims 3: Into the Future is installed, they can genetically engineer their biological child. Additionally, if story progression is enabled, the game will generate same sex couples, though some players have noted that these relationships are less common.
As far as premade LGBT sims go, The Sims 3 made bigger leaps when it came to representation. In the base game, the only character who is implied to be gay is Gobias Koffi, a parody of Tobias Funke from Arrested Development. Notably, his inspiration, Tobias, is the subject of a recurring joke about not being able to recognize the double entendres he states; as such, it is debatable what the creators of the game intended with Gobias.
Jesper Sandstrom and Viktor Valquist, the first gay couple, appear in Aurora Skies, though yet again, it is not stated that they are an item, and their relationship level is at the best friend level. The two live with Viktor’s adoptive daughter, Linn, whose last name is a combination of theirs: Valstrom. Linn’s name and the fact that she is adopted paired with the pose that Jesper and Viktor use, which is normally reserved for couples, all lend weight to them being a couple. Still, the first official LGBT couple in The Sims series was not Brent and Brant; Audrey and Dylan Shear of Roaring Heights have that distinction. The happy couple lives with their adoptive son, Charlie.
The Sims 4 has made the largest changes when it comes to inclusion. At the time of release, there were few changes in same sex relationships, but as of Patch 34, The Sims 4 made history. This update removed all gendered restrictions on clothing, hairstyles, and accessories, allowed simmers to set whether a sim could get pregnant or impregnate other sims, and enabled players to change the body types of each sim to masculine or feminine regardless of gender. For the first time, the game enabled LGBT players to make sims who were true to themselves.
With the release of The Sims 4: Pets, the Shear family was no longer the only household to feature an officially same sex couple; newlyweds Brent and Brant Hecking, along with their canine friend Rosie, reside in Brindleton Bay. The Heckings are an important step in the right direction on Maxis’ part. Previously, LGBT characters were hidden, hinted at, and, in Gobias’s case, used as comedic relief, but The Sims 4: Pets not only introduced Brent and Brant as a normal couple but also used them in their advertising campaign.
The Sims series has come a long way on the path of inclusion, something that fans of the series have been clamoring for since the first game was released. Hopefully, the positive reaction to Brent and Brant as well as the changes of Patch 34 will inspire both the creators of The Sims and the developers of other games to better represent the LGBT community. After, 48.2% of simmers are a part of it.
