Some of these things like the "unfinished room" and the temps can be adjusted w/nraas retuner and tempest. For the unfinished room though, I have to set it to 100 (nraas/retuner/settings/general/sims3.gameplay.ActorSystems/BuffUnfinishedRoom), then set the top line for 100 for an average garden or whatever. If your garden is larger than 100 squares, then set it to more and then they don't get the moodlet. The tempest one is a bit tricky, but once you know what to do, it's easy. You just need to d/l Tempest, go to any city hall or comp and choose it, then click on "weather," then the season, then default. It will have 2 numbers like 50:40. That is the temp range. For example, it will be from 40 - 50 degrees F (my setting). Do this for all four lines (morning, evening, night, noon). There is also some line for the type of weather from 1 - 3. I believe that dictates how much of each type you want. Like I said, it's a little tricky, but once you get the hang of it, it's good.

I missed this post. There are a lot of very interesting mods here. Have you actually tried any of them. Do they work ok?

I'd have to look over the article again to see which ones I have tried or any of them that I actually use.

Hmm... I noticed I don't use many of the mods suggestion.

I have listed the ones I do or have used:

Opportunity phone call fix (and more)
http://modthesims.info/download.php?t=560635

-- I use this mod to fix the oppertunity calls. If you have Into the Future installed it breaks the opportunity calls. This mod fixes that and adds more calls as well.

Toys Set from TS4
https://modthesims.info/download.php?t=552093

-- I have this one cause I love the stuffed animals it has in it. They're all pure decoration, but they're fun to have.

Gardener Service 2
https://modthesims.info/download.php?t=575912

-- I am always and forever playing gardening Sims and this one is awesome for that. It helps for those of us that have gardens that are way too big *Blush*

It needs a wall phone to work. With that you get options to have them do all of the gardening for you or just a couple of the tasks, like water and weed.

I saw the ones you had listed but I wondered how well they work or whether they would cause problems. Also want to know if you had gone back and picked up any of the others. So I guess that's a "no". :D

I can tell you that the opportunity call fix works. I also have one (I don't remember the url) for no dating calls. I got very tired of my married sims getting the "hey do you want to go on a date?" I'm trying out some of the others now.

More/Less Attraction Calls, and love letters
« Reply #28 on: February 07, 2021, 07:12:06 PM »
There's two of them that I know of that are suppose to stop the calls and love letters

Retuned Attraction System (1.67 compatible)
https://modthesims.info/d/492102

More/Less Attraction Calls & Love Letters - 4 Flavors
https://modthesims.info/d/500924

I tried the More/Less Attraction Calls, and love letters were still coming in from random Sims. I found a retuner option to stop both. lol

Tuning Attraction Phone Calls - Gifts and Dates

City Hall/Computer > Nraas > Retuner > Settings > General > By Tunable XML > Sims3.Gameplay.Socializing > AttractionNPCBehaviorController >

kAttractionDateRejectThreshold - The default is 1
kAttractionGiftLetterMaxChancePerDay - The default is 0
kAttractionLTRThresholds - (List) -100 for both option on list.
kDateHoursToCallAfterWork - (List) -100 for both option on list.

I have more Retuner notes as well as notes on other Nraas Mods here
