No Relation Decay failing?

Some mods won't work if they are inside a sub folder. Also, there may be a conflict with other mods that work on the same mathmatical principle. What did the notes say? ETA: I would look at it but right now the site seems locked up in my browser and won't let me scroll around to see the mods section. :/

Do you know if they performed any negative socials while you weren't watching? That seems to still cause relationship decay even with the mod installed. It doesn't actually have to be a mean action but talking about things others don't want to hear about (such as a hobby) or any conversation they aren't interested in affects relationship totals in the vanilla game. If you notice they will have a minus point over their head etc. sometimes, when they don't like a conversation. Maybe that also affects this mod and still causes decay (it does in reg. game) and why we have the options to change conversations. ETA: Note they say neg. socials will still cause decay.

Here's a similar mod. Doesn't stop it for everyone, just the ones that get to 95 or higher.

Simlogical mod says the Maxis BFF relationships will proceed or decay as Maxis intended. The mod does not affect those life time scores for BFFs.

ETA: Last line of the notes:

All relationships can go up and down as EA intended during any type of interaction between the sims.

ETA: And this: I have left the long term relationship out of this because it could be someone the sim only met briefly and the ltr may not even have been triggered. However I believe the impression would remain.

Yes, Inge is great modder, @IngeJones might be able to shed light on why the OP's life time relationship points are falling. But it was my understanding they would fall regardless of mod installed as intended by the notes.

I've ran some last minute tests with the original mod I tried, and I found out it only affects BFFs for some reason and happens after a day.

With a clean folder my version of Simlogical's 95/95 limit also doesn't prevent against decay from 95 to 94 in daily and lifetime. Used the right version for all the expansions.

The only thing I can tell you and I'm guessing is these mods you have tried may not work well with the comp packs that are in TS2UC. Such as the combined packs Fun with Pets etc. I know Cyjon(modder) complained about combined packs and said it was a hit or miss with those installed concerning their own mods since these packs don't actually use some of the TS2 engine or code or someting.

I don't have many of Inge's hacks, but I do have a number of Cyjon mods as well as other mods and I haven't had any issues with them with the UC. So it's probably a rarity. The wider scope the mod is, the more likely you'll run into something where it matters. It's rare enough that there aren't versions for those packs so I wouldn't jump to that reason first for why things aren't working. Or at least there aren't a bunch of threads and posts about why mods aren't working with the UC.

No way am I saying the combo packs are to blame only a possibilty but more than likely those mods are working as they said they would, since they both say their life time BBF totals can still change. However, just for a little bit of info about the combos here is a quote from Cyjon's site they made about the combos in TS2UC:

'Sims 2 combo packs like such as Double Deluxe or University Life are evil. They don't necessarily correspond to the EPs they contain, so whether or not mods will work with them is a crap shoot. The Store version apparently also has mod compatibility issues. Nothing I can do about that. Finally, contrary to what has been reported, I have seen no proof that the Ultimate Collection is based on the Apartment Life/Mansions & Gardens engine so I cannot claim any of my mods are compatible.'

Sorry, Inge, that was me. I think your notes about BBFs relationships says they would still change if they interact as Maxis intended was pretty clear. Some others argued that's not what you meant concerning your mod to end relationship decays. I thought maybe you could explain they would still change as stated in your notes.

Each sim day. the game had a routine that would move all relationships, for every sim, a little way towards mid-point (ie zero). What was meant for the mod is that the relationships which are at the extremes of good or bad wouldnt do their daily auto-decay (to emulate extreme love or hate) and neither would ones near zero (so that sims wouldn't be reset to be treated as not having met at all). The mod affects only the autodecay, not relationship changes that happen as the result of interacting.

Thanks!
