EgonVM's Tuning File finds on The Sims Forums

Lately, The Sims Forums don't seem to appear to be showing up on Google lately, so I have decided to share some of the threads I've made here.

Looking into tuning files, I have made two threads on Growing Together features:

A thread on social compatibility: this one lists how each trait affects the compatibility score of each preference:

And a thread on Self-Discovery and how it works is detailed here:

Spoiler interest threads:

A thread for those who want to make custom NPC sims in the save, including careers and traits you need to equip and restrictions you have to keep in mind:

While I could just copy paste it here, I feel that leaving it to The Sims Forums is for the best.

Have fun reading!

    Update to the list!

    Community Closeness Events list

    Have you ever wondered what kind of visits and phone calls can you expect with Eco Lifestyle? In this list, I've gathered every Community Closeness visits and phone calls, including what happens and what outcomes will each response have.

    Though I would put a spoiler warning here though. If you want to be surprised what kind of visits/phone calls there are, I'd suggest not to read the list.

    Rushed it out before The Sims Forum's posts reach the No-Transfer Line.

    For those who don't know, The Sims Forums is shutting down in July. A new forums for The Sims will be opened in EA Forums then. Posts made before 8th of March will be transferred there. So yeah, I had to hurry.

    But all that preamble out of the way, I present to you:

    My Ultimate NPC Making Guide!

    That took so long too, so yeah.

    This not only includes cheats you need to enter for a custom sim to appear in a NPC role, but also includes restrictions that you have to keep in mind (no aliens in StrangerVille as an agent for example).

    On interest posts, I think I'll take a break until the new forum opens up. I may make drafts in my notepad and then release these on the new forums, but we'll see. I will update the links too if necessary.

    Thank you. It's great to see you back too (haven't seen you long)!

    Oh, I remembered one more thing. Not exactly tuning file find, but I hope everyone find it interesting too.

    The Collection of The Sims Iceberg Charts I've Made 

    I've seen Plumbella making a video, so I got a sudden urge to share it too.

    Ok. It seems like I need to update the links now. All links will now direct to The Sims page in EA Forums. So, here's a list of these post.

    As the spoiler tags aren't great in the EA Forums, some of the posts are broken compared to the The Sims Forums version. These posts I'll mark with 🔶 emoji. In addition, I have remade one of these because of the spoiler tag issues. These I'll mark with the 🔧 emoji.

    Here's the list and what these contain:

    All these links lead to EA Forums page to the guide. Do remember that the EA Forums may redirect you to an incorrect page. This can be solved by clearing your browser cache or opening the link in the Incognito (or equivalent) mode.

    Because of the spoiler issues, the posts with 🔶 aren't updated for now. Check my last reply in these posts (sort it by Newest).
