Does anybody know if these two mods can be used together? Meaningful stories and Slice of Life?

So I am curious about the difference.I think Meaningful Stories is just a little more subtle in the way it alters sim emotions. I do like both mods though. I really enjoyed that sims could get drunk with Slice of Life and the visible blushing when they were flirty or embarrassed was so nice but I didn't really like the realism of bladder infections, women issues or the way it ruined the surprise of pregnancy before even taking a test and while I did like the idea of random acne for teenagers it kinda bothered me that it affected my adult sims as well. The skin care routine to keep it away took to much time in my sims days. I didn't want them with a face mask for two hours each day.

@Sharonia Ahh I see. Makes sense, thanks! I deleted the acne portion from the mod, which helped a bit. But I hate how they still get an embarrassed buff!

I used to play with SOL, but found myself using less and less of the features as time went on. I liked the missing teeth for children and the bruised look after fighting, but unfortunately it's tied to the same file as acne which happens way too often for my taste. I don't feel like my adult sims should have to constantly be battling acne. Then I found myself deleting the added buffs because again they happen too often and are weighted too heavily. I already use a different mod for drunkenness. Eventually the only features I was using were the phone and the different social invites, but KawaiiStacie doesn't update her mods quickly enough for my liking so I eventually just opted to play without that mod and I really don't miss it all that much.

i use both and they have been working fine, although i have taken SOL out from time to time and i def like Meaningful stories way more. I could play with out SOL but not with out MS

MS has come to be one of my essential mods because it kills the overpowered happy buff from decorations and just overall makes the Sims moods and emotions more realistic instead of constantly happy from every little minor thing. Also if you have the Patreon version it adds "Meaningful Conversations" which makes Sims have more interesting autonomous conversations (picking from their available menu options more so than just idly chit chatting). I don't think I could play without RoBurky's mod anymore, as where I tried to like SOL but ended up being annoyed with it mostly. I think the concept of it is good, it just needs some of its features toned down so they're not so obnoxiously frequent. Also, like I said, the modder just doesn't update fast enough for new patches, and that can be frustrating if you're not big on playing new saves while waiting.

Do you mean how they get red faces when embarrassed? I think that can be removed from the Physical CAS part of the mod.

No, I like that. But even though I removed the acne component of the mod, while they don't physically get acne, they still get the "embarrassed" moodlet. It's just a minor frustration because we all hate negative moodlets, but still a frustration none-the-less. I just want my sims to have model-like good looks!

Random-ish question, but does KawaiiStacie still use Adfly?

I just got Meaningful Stories in my game. I might not get Slice of Life, as the realism of body issues could get in the way of storytelling and general gameplay.

I use both mods, and they actually go pretty hand in hand. Haven't experienced any issues using them simultaneously.

I'm not 100% sure but I think you can have the mod without the appearances.

I'm already thinking of removing Slice of Life again because of the acne and also bladder infections are kind of annoying. I don't mind acne appearing it my teens now and then but it's happening to often and I don't want it on my adults. I just really like the other appearances such as embarrassment and blushing and also the sims getting drunk is fun too.

Is the MS mod compatible with MCCC?

Meaningful stories works perfectly fine with MCCC. I've had them both in my game with no issues for a few months now.

I've used them both. I don't have SOL in right now because I'm waiting on her update but I've used them both very successfully together along with MCCC.
