Favorite Movie Genre

compatible UI Tweaks Preferences Traits Overrides

File Type Package

Version v. 1.1.2

Last Update Oct 06, 2024

About This Mod

Normally, your Sims’ favorite movie genres are hidden as “hidden traits.” This mod overwrites these traits to make them visible gameplay traits in the UI.

Note: No new gameplay is added; the mod simply visualizes what is already present in the game. To give you full control, a new cheat menu is added to every TV, allowing your Sims to choose or change their favorite genre at any time.

Key Features

Visibility: Hidden movie preferences are now visible in the Sim’s trait panel.
Cheat Menu: Shift-click (or use the new menu) on any TV to manually set a favorite genre for your Sim.
Immersive Storytelling: Easily track if your Sim prefers Action, Horror, Comedy, Romance, or Family movies.

Compatibility

This mod overwrites specific hidden traits from the game. It is not compatible with any other mods or add-ons that modify the following trait resources:

trait_Hidden_FavoriteMovie_Action (ID: 128970)
trait_Hidden_FavoriteMovie_Horror (ID: 128971)
trait_Hidden_FavoriteMovie_Comedy (ID: 128972)
trait_Hidden_FavoriteMovie_Romance (ID: 128973)
trait_Hidden_FavoriteMovie_Family (ID: 128974)

Override Mod

This mod overrides core game resources instead of adding new ones.

High conflict risk: Any other mod that overrides the same resources will conflict with this mod.
One-override rule: If two mods modify the same resource, usually only one can be used safely.
Patch sensitive: Override mods are more likely to break after game updates.

Recommendation: test this mod alone after patches and clear localthumbcache.package.

Language & Translations

This mod does not contain any in-game text strings or uses only existing game strings. Therefore, translations are neither possible nor required, and the mod will work perfectly in all game languages.
