Premade Sim and Relationship Overhaul

This mod introduces an overhaul of base game sims and sets appropriate relationships and sentiments between sims in the base game and in certain DLCs on a new save start. Select DLC sims are gradually being fixed up to modernize them with new traits and features and have them more closely match their in-game lore.

• On a new save start, base game sims will have visual updates and preset hot/cold weather outfits, appropriate likes/dislikes and turn ons and turn offs that reflect their characters and histories, and skills that reflect where they are in life and what they've accomplished. Hair, makeup, and clothing have been updated to reflect more modern styles when appropriate.
• The Goths and the Calientes have been reverted to their original character models, with some updates to hair, makeup, and skin tones, setting them closer to their original design in prior Sims games while not diverging quite so far from that iconic Sims 4 look. There is an alternative download (the EA Remake version) for those who prefer the EA remodeled designs.
• Alexander Goth's genetics have been fixed, and when he ages into a teen and later a young adult he will look like a mix of his parents (although he does take a bit more after Mortimer).
• Household funds will reflect implied financial status.Rich sims will have high starting funds, poor sims will have low starting funds.

This mod adds and corrects relationships between sims in separate households, with a special focus on the base game households and appropriate fixes.

• Sim relationships follow the lore set by EA and the Maxis developers, with a few additions that add extra gameplay or lore.
• Notable changes/fixes include making the Landgraabs related to Johnny Zest and adding in appropriate sentiments, putting Katrina Caliente and Don Lothario into a romantic relationship, setting Vlad as Lilith Vatore's vampire master and having him and the Vatores know each other, making Lily Zhu and the Vatores cousins, adding in the Grim Reaper as Nyon Specter's father, and putting Grim and Olive Specter into a romantic relationship.
• Additionally, base game sims who are implied to have gone to school or college together will know each other and be at an appropriate friendship level. Parenthood relationships and Growing Together dynamics have been set where appropriate.
• This is not a complete list of changes, and others you will need to play to see and experience.

This mod adds additional base game career NPCs in hidden households. NPCs are assigned to specific base game lots (mixologists, gym trainers, librarian), as service NPCs you can call to your home or lot (firefighter, police/detective, food delivery, maid, nanny, gardener) and as universal venue NPCs (fisherman, park gardener).

• New NPCs are designed to match the demographics of the base game worlds, Willow Creek and Oasis Springs, which are modeled after New Orleans in Louisiana and various towns and cities in Arizona/New Mexico.
• Several households have additional family members to better build out the population of certain age groups and reduce the need for townie randomization. Fewer terrible outfits is a benefit to us all.
• These households are hidden to protect them from accidental deletion and Neighborhoods Stories. You can unhide them with MCCC.

Compatibility with Other Mods

This mod is compatible with most other mods, except for those that also override base game sims and, with v1.2, the Sylvan Glade region description. The v1.1 update introduced fixups to certain NPCs - Guidry, Temperance, and Lady Ravendancer Goth - that required overriding their tunable sim templates, which is not compatible with other overrides. Guidry and Temperance's special NPC traits have also been overridden.

Known Issue

Added family relationships are recognized during gameplay, but do not appear in the genealogy tracker. Please be aware that it may not be possible to fix the genealogy tracker issue.
