Change Log:
~ May 11th 2021 ~ Added Polish translation.
~ May 10th 2021 ~ Added German and Portuguese translations. Tweaked some of the Satisfaction rewards to make whims like Have A Baby and Own a Business more worthwhile.
The Personality Mod is the first larger mod Iβve made for The Sims 4.
What Does It Do?
The Personality Mod adds 6 reward traits to the Reward Store. Each of these traits are inspired by the six Aspirations from Sims 2: Family, Fortune, Knowledge, Pleasure, Popularity and Romance. Each trait costs 0 Satisfaction Points, so you can add the traits to newly created sims, straight out of Create-A-Sim.
Each trait has itβs own set of Whims and those whims are directly inspired by the appropriate Wants from Sims 2. Because of this, the reward traits act like a base personality and influence the whims your Sim puts in.
For example, a Fortune Sim may wish to own their own business; a Family Sim may want to have a baby or adopt a dog; A Knowledge Sim will be curious about the supernatural etc.
The Whims
While there were some excellent whims available to suit each trait, I felt like many were missing. As a result, I set about creating my own. This mod contains around 40 new whims, each associated with the six reward traits. Among those whims are several whims for individual careers. Each of those whims will only turn up in a Sim has certain traits or skills, so they wonβt be random.
Once again, the new whims are based on Wants from Sims 2 and should line up fairly nicely.
The Technical Details
Because Of The Number Of Associated Whims, This Mod Does Require A Large Number Of Packs:
Get To Work
Get Together
City Living
Cats & Dogs
Seasons
Get Famous
Discover University
Outdoor Retreat
Dine Out
Vampires
Parenthood
Realm of Magic
Bowling Night
My First Pet Stuff
I do intend to release a Base Game Compatible version of the mod in the not-too-distant future, so keep an eye out for that. *EDIT* ~ Thanks to the testing of Crosimmer and Kate Fosk, it appears the mod operates well even if you donβt have all the packs listed above. There are no errors and no crashing so you should be fine to use it even if you donβt have every pack listed.
This mod also requires the XML Injector by Scumbumbo/Triplis. If you donβt install this mod, the rewards will not show up in the reward store. Donβt worry; the XML Injector doesnβt add anything to your game, it just allows this mod to work as intended.

The Mod Currently Supports The Following Translations:

Known Issues
~ The βAsk To Move Inβ whim isnβt specific. By that, I mean it doesnβt yet define WHO your sim wants to have move in. Every attempt Iβve made to change this has failed so far but I donβt give up very easily. Right now though, the whim wonβt come up unless your sim is in a relationship (Boyfriend/Girlfriend or Engaged), so it wonβt come up too often. Additionally, it may come up after your Sim is already living with their Significant Other. This will hopefully be improved upon later when I can solve those issues.
~ I Have Yet To See The Adopt A Cat Whim Show Up In Game. Adopt A Dog Shows But Not The Cat. These Are Both Maxis Whims But If Anybody Does See The Adopt A Cat Whim, Please Let Me Know. That Way I Know It Isnβt An Issue On My End. Iβll Continue To Look Into This. *UPDATE* It Turns Out This Is Perfectly Fine. Thank You To Jay On Twitter For Confirming This For Me!
Planned Updates
In The Future, I Plan A Few Updates For The Mod:
~ New whims: I want to include some new whims relating to later packs. Additionally, I want to include a few more to line up better with Sims 2; particularly for Pleasure, Family and Romance sims.
~ Interaction Menu: I have had a request for an interaction to add the traits to the Sim, so I will be working to include this in an update soon(ish).
