Mod for slower need decay?

They don't decay that fast... Why would you spend all your time doing that (meaning how unfun to do :( )? They only need something when it hits dark orange... or red. :lol:

Anyway, there's the Aspiration Perks on UI under Rewards-Aspiration Rewards-Lifetime Aspiration Rewards.
If you need more points there's cheats -aspirationPoints # to get more.

There's the Energizer in the Rewards-Aspiration Rewards- It will fill them up. Use it in gold or platinum.

They can earn the Gold Flower arranging badge to make snapdragons which gives boost to needs and will keep them green all the time (but for Energy).

Juice from all the gardening will give them energy and fill up their Aspiration meter. http://www.snootysims.com/thesims2index.php?id=juices
Besides adding some to the fridge (or cooking caught fish) will fill up their hunger faster (too full, imo).

The Espresso machine gives a nice energy boost.

A nap...

...if you want to just pause their needs for a bit, use the cheat- motiveDecay off

Hello, its really hard to go from the sims 4 to the the sims 2 as needs decay so fast! I cant seem to get anything done in game i spend nearly all my time trying to get my sims needs back up again! Does anyone know of any mods that slow down the decay of needs?

Yep!

This is the one I use and I love it. It comes with presets to slow down or speed up your need decay according to your preferences, or you can set them yourself however you like.

I mostly use it while skill building (on Defender mode - it keeps their needs from decaying too much and their levels remain on a nice even keel), so my sims aren't constantly stopping a task because they need to eat, use the bathroom, or take a shower.

You can find the pink flamingo under the miscellaneous/miscellaneous section of buy/build. You can place it anywhere you like and have your sim click on it to set it up.

Wow... TS4 must really be easy. It's one reason I don't think people should move to the harder games. They have so much time to do everything- with the Elixir in TS2....

If BO is Boiling Oil and is on Lee-Fish, it won't link here.

For me personally, it's not that the Sims 2 is harder to play (which it isn't), but rather with my limited vision these days, I like to mod my game according to MY specific needs that will accommodate my playing style.

I do it for all of my games, not just the Sims ones. Modding - that is.

The link is still clickable, I checked it after posting.

Edit - Oh and like I posted before, it's customizable. So if you want to keep some needs active while disabling some, you can do that, or speed them up if you want more of a challenge during game play. It's all up to the player. It's not an "one size fits all fix". You adjust it to your liking.

Yes, I understand modding a game to the playing style but this makes it easier- no matter the style. :)

Weird, I checked the link and it when to Yahoo for me. :(

Fixed! Does it allow me to stop some needs while keeping others active? If so, maybe I'll give it a shot.

Its not that the sims 2 is harder, its because the sims 4 is too easy and ive become lazy lol

Thanks for the link :smile:

You're very welcome! :)

You're not lazier- you're just learning, or relearning, the ways of TS2. So many ways to keep their moods up by the end of it's release the complaint then was it was Too Easy. :)
